Just a heads-up: links for all three of C.J. Mahaney’s sermons at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN are up now. If you like C.J.’s style, I’d recommend you subscribe to his local church’s sermon podcast. He may not preach there as often as he used to, but pretty much all the guys who do received some degree of training from him!

Yes, I’m a geek!
If I hadn’t proved it yet, hopefully this will be the clincher: I’ve mapped each and every Sovereign Grace Ministries member church in Wayfaring! That’s right, each one — including the in-progress church plant in Frederick, MD! (That was was pretty hard to peg exactly, seeing as how they haven’t found a place to meet yet!)
(That’s supposed to be a live view of the map; if it doesn’t seem to be working, you can load the full version.)
My biggest trouble—hands down—was with the churches in Mexico. They’ve got some strange addressing methods down there, and I couldn’t make las cabezas o las colas of them!
My goal was to map the meeting locations, rather than the mailing addresses. Wayfaring doesn’t have the same data that Google Maps does, though, because apparently Google doesn’t make all that data available in their API. It didn’t cause me much trouble, but some of the markers may be off a few hundred yards as a result of having to eyeball it.
It’s interesting… looking over this map, I can’t help but notice a certain tendency to hug the Appalachian mountain range. I wonder if that’s intentional. 
I also see a distinct lack of SGM church planting in the Northwest U.S. I think they ought to plant one in Las Vegas. Who’s with me? 
Silly headline, perhaps? Don’t jump to conclusions, though; I think it was just a one-time thing.
The Black Calvinist went to T4G and loved the sound of 3000 male voices praising God, so he caught it on his cell phone and e-mailed it to himself. He loved it so much, in fact, that he wanted to share it with those of us who weren’t able to attend. Wonderfully sporting of him, right? (I thought so!)
Well, as Bob Kauflin pointed out in the comments section, this was apparently a T4G no-no (which, to his credit, TBC was unaware of). And where most would then demand that the file be removed, what does Bob do? He simply asks that the song be properly credited.
Now that’s dealing graciously! Way to go, Mr. Kauflin: I commend your thoughful response!

In the days following the T4G conference, I’ve noticed mentions here and there about C.J. Mahaney preaching at John Piper’s church, Al Mohler preaching at C.J.’s*, etc. Wondering if this is some sort of strategic follow-up to the conference, I’ve decided to compile all the T4G guest-speaking sermons here, in the hopes that we can develop a sort of T4G Apocrypha. 
I’ll keep this page updated with any additional preaching engagements I come across.
On a somewhat related note, according to J. Ligon Duncan, C.J. preached at (John MacArthur’s) Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA on August 21, 2005. However, their sermon area lists Phil Johnson as having preached that day. I was able to find record of C.J. speaking at Grace’s Resolved conference this past January, but that’s it.
* I realize C.J. passed the Senior Pastor role onto Joshua Harris last year. Gimme a break, okay?
