Recorded sermons?

What do you think of the practice of recording services/sermons?  It can be one of the best ways of spreading the Word that is offered today, and why should we not use this technology to preach the Gospel?

However, there is a down-side to this practice; or rather not so much the practice itself as the way it is discounted by many Christians today.  What I mean is this: very often when sermons are being listened to on CD, etc, the auditors do not have the same awareness of listening to God's Word as they wold have of sitting in church.  They can beak into conversation, thus lose the drift of the message.

I would counsel that when listening to a sermon of CD or on DVD, take a few moments of recollection, reminding yourself that you are about to listen to God's Word, and give it the attention that you would give to it of you were in church.
