Remember...this is primarily a free download ministry...our main goal is getting this material out, but web space and time don't allow for the sermons just added to this page.  Plus, some users don't have "High Speed" connections or don't want to fool with downloading [believe me, I understand!]. 

The money from sales helps offset the large amount of web space this ministry consumes, which helps keep this a free service, and will help us be able to post more messages in the future!
