  Caring for God's People and Seeking Wholeness on Our Journey of Faith, through God's Healing Word        

These sermons are sound files. You will need to download a media player to hear them. Although they are rather large files, once media player begins to download they will begin playing almost immediately and continue to download as you listen. Some files are slightly larger in order to have higher quality sound for the music.

 

We also have Worship Music files on the bottom of the page.

 

Windows Media Player may be downloaded at this site. There is also a media player for Mac users on this site.

Some of Our older Sound Files

Music files are fairly large files. If you have a fast connection to the internet you may be able to quickly download these files and listen to high quality sound. The smaller files are for those who have slower connections. They are considerably smaller than the first files but the music quality is not quite as good. You will have the best results if you are connected with a 56k modem at at least 33k or 44k. The files should begin playing pretty soon after you click on them and the files will continue to download as you listen. You may also find that when you down load a file for the second time a file on your browser is saved and it will download much faster.
