Chapell is a gifted preacher and models well what it means to point people to the grace of God in Christ. If you’re not familiar with his Christ-Centered Preaching: Redeeming the Expository Sermon, I’d encourage you to check it out. The last two chapters were my favorite and are worth a careful read.
Paul Schafer at Reforming My Mind does a great job of collecting links to lots of (mostly) free audio sermons and lectures. If you’re looking for some good content for your MP3 player for when you’re traveling, mowing the lawn, or working out, this is a good place to start. Most recently he has featured J. I. Packer (Wikipedia). Here are some of the other individuals he has featured:

To save you time in downloading all this great stuff, I’d highly recommend downloading and installing the FireFox extension DownThemAll!. After you’ve installed it and restarted FireFox, go to the page that has the links, right click anywhere on the screen (but not on a link), and click the “DownThemAll!…” option. You can specify what file extensions to include (e.g., MP3, WMA, etc.), where to download the files, and lots of other options. Just get it started and let it do its thing. Depending on the speed of your connection and the number of MBs you’re downloading, you may want to do it before bed.
This won’t get all of the audio, just the audio where the file itself is the link on the page (e.g., http://www.website.com/sermon.mp3, but not http://www.website.com/sermons.php), but it will save you a lot of time.
