April 28, 2013: 1 Thessalonians: encouragement

Pastor Michael Hodge continues his study of 1 Thessalonians. How, as Christians, should we be today? The Apostle Paul tells us this week that we need to encourage one other, especially to those who are suffering, and are weak or fainthearted, or struggling. Or, are physically disabled and need help. Listen to his sermon here.

We also had Kaelynn sing "Amazing Grace" for us, and Pastor Hodge did his children's sermon on running, even though the kids were a little grumpy today. :-)

You can listen to all of this here:

Our prayer is that this will encourage your walk in Christ this week, and may you have a blessed one to come.

April 21, 2013: 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 13...teamwork!

The concept of teamwork is prevalent at work...we must all do a task together, or nothing gets done...or at least not well. But in the church, it is absolutely critical to the functioning of any healthy church where Christ is proclaimed that all of us work together. To ensure that Christ is proclaimed, to live in harmony with each other...despite differences in styles of worship, etc. Many churches don't do this today, and those that don't, are doomed. Learn why working in harmony with each other with Christ in the center of our lives is of the utmost importance...by listening to Pastor Hodge's sermon today. It's based out 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 13, so get out your Bibles and learn as we go through it today.

We also had Mark Fagerstrom give our children's sermon on "letters". Did you know God wrote YOU a letter? Find out what it is by listening to his sermon.

We also had special music with Randy, Marilyn and Marsha today. We hope you are blessed by it!

And finally, the sermon is broken into two parts, due to an equipment glitch. The entire sermon is here, however, for you to listen.

And may you have a great week in Christ Jesus!

April 14, 2013: When is Jesus coming back?

Christians and non-Christians since Jesus' death and resurrection have wondered: when is Jesus coming back? There is no doubt that He will, but when? In today's sermon, Pastor Michael Hodge clearly tells us that we will not know exactly when, but we CAN know when we;re getting close. Listen to his sermon by clicking on the link below.

We also had Mark Fagerstrom give some important announcements today for our church; if you are a member, be sure to listen.

And we hope you have a great week in Christ Jesus!

April 7, 2013: Encouragement

Biblically, we know that as believers of Jesus Christ, we will be mocked, oppressed, persecuted for our faith. In the United States, it is not terrible right now, but it is getting worse. When we see the decline of our society, people rejecting and mocking Jesus...we must remember that it will be all worth it. To that end, this week, Pastor Michael Hodge tells us we must encourage one another, as the apostle Paul tells us to. How we can do that, and some pitfalls we need to watch out for, are all part of today's sermon from Pastor Michael Hodge. You can listen to it on our page here.

Also, we had Marilyn Mathison sing our special music today; we hope it is a blessing to you.
