acts is complete! we had a really short (really short) acts week on the 10th - we actually took most of the time to communion individually which is why there's no recording. so for this week we did a really quick run through church history to get us from the end of acts through to today.

bedevilled by technical problems again here - this time the sermon is accompanied by a distinct buzz. might be caused by the baby monitor which was near the pink recording device this week - we'll try to avoid that in the future.
anyway, we covered acts 21:37 - 22:30 this week, in which paul responds to the jewish riot/crowd who had beaten him, accusing him of bringing gentiles into the temple (he responds with his testimony). the full service is available here, the sermon only can be grabbed here (my sermon notes are here).

i'm LAAAAATE
here's the homework. sorry folks. Outline Colossians chapter 1. if helpful do the paragraph chart that we talked about early on. what is the genre? is there historical background that may shed light on the passage? summarize the content: what is Paul saying to the Colossians? is there a logical flow? are there doctrines stated? what does it say about God, man, Paul, the Colossians? are there commands or suggestions?

we did record it. but someone/thing moved the recording device somewhere during lunch and now it's missing, though it probably has the service on it still.
fortunately it is bright pink; it can't stay hidden forever.

full service here (well...sans singing, we were a bit late clicking record). sermon here.
and a new low-quality sermon-only mp3 here. the low-quality version is much smaller (1/20th of the normal sermon), let me know if it's ok quality wise.
