Dr. R. Maurice Boyd's sermons 1998-1992

Always free shipping on this item.

Collection Details

Includes 166 sermons, digitally re-mastered from the original cassettes.

The recordings are of the sermon only (not the whole service).

The sermons were preached between May 1, 1998 and January 12, 1992. Full dates and titles are listed below.

Most recordings are now in good to very good condition. Some I would describe as "acceptable" due to problems with bleed-through from other audio (sometimes occurs from a previous recording on the tape, sometimes from the audio on the back side of the same tape). All are intelligible. A small number are missing the beginnings of the sermons. In most of these cases, it seems clear that Dr. Boyd is still in his opening remarks. You can hear an example of the bleed-through in the second audio sample below (How Does One Have Faith?). It is a particularly problematic example, but you will notice that it clears up quite quickly.

Hear for yourself! You can listen to a three-minute sample of the first five sermons in the collection by using the audio controls below below. Don't forget to turn up your speakers/

MP3 copies will be delivered on a data DVD that will also include playlist files that can be imported into iTunes and iPods. As was the case with the 10 and 14-Year collections, if you would like to purchase an iPod separately, I will be happy to pre-load it for you. This series is a little over 1GB, so even Apple's smallest MP3 players will hold it (including the iPhone). I do recommend the shuffle, classic, or touch models, as they provide easier navigation than the shuffle.

The entire Dr. Boyd audio collection is 17.3GB, the videos bring the total size to around 22GB. So only the classic or 32GB touch models will hold it all as of this writing. Of course, any iPod can hold part of the collection, and you can use your computer to choose which part, or to rotate through your collection.

Sermons that are part of these series, but not recorded between May 1, 1998 and January 12, 1992 are included in the MP3 version of this collection but are not listed below.
