February 28, 2016: Finding purpose in the Temple...and in the church

This week, our Scripture is on Matthew 21:12-17. Here, Jesus makes an unexpected visit to the Temple. And what did he find? Price gouging, stealing, lambs that were not worthy of sacrifice, and more. Jesus became very angry, and overturned chairs and tables. He stated his purpose for the Temple, and then Jesus takes on the religious leaders that opposed him, that were supposed to be for him. What does this mean for us and the church today, and what should be the purpose of our church and what we are to become? Listen to his sermon today to find out how!

We also had Molly Blobaum do her children's sermon, and we had special music that we hope you are blessed with.

February 21, 2016: Looking for preference in the Kingdom of God

Muhammed Ali once declared himself to be the greatest in all of boxing. But in heaven, who is the greatest? The disciples asked this question, and it really caused a stir among them. Because straightens them all out with a lesson we all need to hear. Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon to find out

Also, we had Josiah Fagerstrom perform our special music today, and we had Molly Blobaum's children sermon on...cell phones. The one time you'll see one used in our church during a service. :-)

February 14, 2016: The art of speculation: being tactful in our proclamation of the truth

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge takes on a complicated topic: being tactful with the truth, and the art of speculation. First of all, there is a lot of speculation that is negative. But there are positive aspects of speculation. But in terms of sharing the Gospel, we must do so with tact and not speculation. Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon today on how all of these concepts tie in.

We also had Molly Blobaum do her children's sermon on Valentine's Day.

February 7, 2016:Which way do I run?

This week, Pastor Hodge preaches on 2nd Timothy 2:20-22. First, there are teachers who honor and dishonor God, and second, there are teachers and followers who flee error and pursue truth. Pastor Hodge goes into detail why both of these are important, and why fleeing error is something we all must do. Listen to his sermon today to find out how and why.

And, we also had special music as well; we hope you enjoy it.  You can hear both of these service elements
