I encourage you to download these mp3’s so you can listen to John Piper quoting the chapters. It is a lot better then an audio bible in my book because of the emphasis on words Piper does, and the passion. You listen to one of these a decent amount of the time on your mp3 player and you will have it down to memory in no time.

I was thinking when i first heard of this vid, that it's an embarassment that this impresses anyone.
What I mean is that there are so many in the reformed community that know their books, but don't know or cherish the word. Piper has commented before that he doesn't read a lot of books (which the response is usually silence from other panel speakers), nowadays people read too many books. Learning mostly from something they've been taught but rarely from wrestling with the scriptures themselves.
I've heard preachers say this is a good reason for preaching through the bible because it helps you study, if that's the motivation then how do you get your congregation to read and study for themselves?? We need the WORD!
God Bless

Devin,

I downloaded the full sermon and just listen to the first 20 minutes. Then when he is done I just start it over. I actually prefer it and without the music. You can get the sermon for free from desiringgod.org.

Ah gotcha, I was thinking that you might have been the one who divided them up into separate tracks with music. I actually really like the backing instrumentation, but maybe that's just because I'm a music freak :) Does the place that you got the separate tracks from have the Matthew passage?
Thanks for posting these btw.
