Tim Challies (seen here; he’s the designer behind our new website, which is scheduled for launch later this month) posted a link that caught my eye, and I though I’d pass it on to you!
Tim links to a FREE copy of a guy (Max McLean) performing Jonathan Edwards most famous sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” It’s available here for a limited time only.
Also, while we’re talking about Tim, check out his book.
The audio from the sermon on Sunday 24th August 2008 entitled: “The Cost of Discipleship” (Luke 14:25-35) is available to download or listen to here.
Following along the theme of Sovereign Grace resources from the Psalms…
WorshipGod 2008 – the worship conference hosted by Sovereign Grace and Bob Kauflin just took place at the end of July.
And, as usual, the audio of the conference is FREELY available for you to download and benefit richly from.
You can also visit the website for WorshipGod 08 to get more info and book recommendations to help you mine the gold that is the Psalms.
For centuries the book of Psalms has informed, directed, and inspired the worship of God’s people. Without minimizing the struggles of living in a fallen world, this book exudes a confident trust in the God who is good and rules over all.
These twelve songs have emerged from those ancient poems and prayers. Our aim is to offer fresh interpretations of individual psalms, especially in light of the crucified and risen Savior to whom they point.
This is the latest album produced and released by Sovereign Grace Music.
Listen to tracks, get downloads (including a free song!) and sheet/chord music by visiting the website.
Available soon at a church book table near you(!) or (if you can’t wait that long!) you can download it for next to nothing at the Sovereign Grace Store.
For interested music buffs, Stephen Altrogge – one of the songwriters on this latest album, has a post over at his blog – The Blazing Center – that describes his process of song writing, and the evolution of his songs from demo’s to album tracks.
AND…
You can watch a video about the production of the album:

From the prayer “Spiritus Sanctus“, from The Valley of Vision, a collection of puritan prayers published by Banner of Truth.
O Holy Spirit,
As the sun is full of light,
the ocean full of water,
Heaven full of glory, so may my heart be full of thee.
Vain are all divine purposes of love
and the redemption wrought by Jesus
except thou work within,
regenerating by thy power,
giving me eyes to see Jesus,
showing me the realities of the unseen world.
Give me thyself without measure,
as an unimpaired fountain,
an inexhaustible riches.
I bewail my coldness, poverty, emptiness,
imperfect vision, languid service,
prayerless prayers, praiseless praises.
Suffer me not to grieve or resist thee.
Come as power,
to expel every rebel lust,
to reign supreme and keep me thine;
Come as teacher,
leading me into all truth,
filling me with all understanding;
Come as love,
that I may adore the Father, and love him as my all;
Come as joy,
to dwell in me, move me, animate me;
Come as light,
illuminating the Scripture,
moulding me in its laws;
Come as sanctifier,
body, soul and spirit wholly thine;
Come as helper,
with strength to bless and keep, directing my every step;
Come as beautifier,
bringing order out of confusion,
loveliness out of chaos.
Magnify to me thy glory by being magnified in me,
and make me redolent of thy fragrance.
