July 8, 2012: Obedience to the Lord

We are called to obey God at all times. Jonah has been called by some as the worst prophet ever, because of his direct and flagrant disobedience against God. Instead of warning Ninevah of impending punishment for their sins, he ran to flee from the Lord. But, as Jonah found out...you can run, but you can't hide. As Jonah ran, the Lord brought calamity onto him, and eventually, he gets swallowed up by a whale. It's then and there that Jonah realizes that we must obey the Lord; otherwise, serious consequences occur. As he repents, God gives him the strength and courage to do His will and complete the task he gave Jonah. But what about us? Learn about the lessons learned from Jonah, and how it applies to us today. Pastor Michael Hodge digs us into the first two chapters of Jonah, and what it means for us as believers: namely, actions have consequences.

We also had Mark Fagerstrom give his children's sermon enttitled, "The Weight Of Sin". You can listen to this short ssermon here as well.
