Great Plainness of Speech
AUDIO SERMONS CONTINUED, page 2


Audio sermons are continued here because of the length of the first page of audio sermons.  Use the search to find particular subjects on this website.
​
Picture
If anyone ever took II Timothy 4:2 to heart, it was Donald Townsley.  His sermons were plain and to the point -- and no one left a service after he preached wondering what God's Word said on a particular subject.  He loved God supremely and preached God's Word boldly, regardless of the consequences.
(Note: Some of the lessons here are not complete because he preached past the time limit on the tape, however, we feel that the lessons are profitable even without the ending, so we have them here for your benefit.  At the most probably only 5 - 10 minutes are missing at the end of a few lessons.)
