"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

This sounded really lame to me at first. But then I listened to a few, and they are actually pretty dang cool.
Sermon Jams
I couldn't listen to sermon podcasts like this on a regular basis, but they really do a good job of aesthetically augmenting great preachers like John Piper, Ravi Zacharias, or Alistair Begg (among others) with musical "atmosphere."
(HT: Founders Ministries Blog)
(Btw, I listened to two great podcasts today:
1. "The Pastor as Resident Theologian" by Greg Heinsch from an Acts 29 Network Boot Camp. Good stuff in there about the cross and culture in the church.
2. "Being Filled with the Holy Spirit" by Wayne Grudem, preached at Piper's Bethlehem Baptist Church. Got that one off of Monergism Audio. Non-cessationism probably has no better theologian than this hoss. And I love his God-centered (rather than wonders-centered) pneumatology.
It's kind of like a "Best of" in a certain sense.
I think I like it.
