In this sermon I reference (and sing from) a musical called "Avenue Q". You can learn more about it here. DISCLAIMER: Not for the easily offended (or even moderately easily offended). This musical is meant to be offensive to pretty much everybody (and it is)--but it's got a great underlying message. I sang pretty much the only "appropriate for church" part of it during the sermon and made the plot line PG (it's really R+). So click to learn more only at your own risk.

My friend Don's blog (which I also talk about in the sermon) can be found here. (Also not for the easily offended)

The audio has its moments again. I'm thinking we might need a new wireless mic. I'll keep fiddling, its not as bad as some of the other bad recordings--only the first few minutes. Sorry!

This is an interactive sermon. You'll need a paper and a pen to play along at home. Please email me your responses, and I'll add them to our list. Click here to read what our congregation came up with. I realized later I should have said "put behind" rather than "get behind" through the whole thing. Just hear the word "put" rather than "get".

Ok, so the sermon didn't record this week, but not because of technical error. This was 100% user error (by me). I forgot to reconnect the recorder after downloading last week's sermon.  Sorry friends!  I'll get my act together this week.
