September 25, 2016: The value of our Kinsman-Redeemer

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge concludes his series in the book of Ruth. And here, we tie Naomi and Ruth and their need for a Kinsman-Redeemer. If the line of Jesus will continue, Boaz must be the Kinsman Redeemer. But, the one first in line declines the offer, and Boaz accepts. Over 2,000 years later, what does that mean for us, and how is Jesus our Kinsman-Redeemer? Listen to the sermon today to find out!

We also had Molly Blobaum's children sermon. What is true richness? And the kids were asked: what would YOU do if you were rich? Some of their answers were interesting, and some were quite funny. Listen to her sermon today on what true riches are!

September 18, 2016: The important marriage of Boaz aand Ruth, or: let's make a deal!

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge concludes his series on the book of Ruth. This week, Boaz needs to take care of a big problem now: Naomi's deceased husband's property is up for sale. The Kinsman-Reedemer gets first rights to buy it, then Boaz. But if Boaz doesn't buy it, Boaz cannot marry Ruth. What happens after that, and why this is important to us today is found in the rest of his sermon...listen to it and find out!

We also had our 4 confirmation students receive their Bibles, and Molly Blobaum did our children's sermon today. Finally, the Seldals did our special music this morning. All of these service elements can be found here:

September 11, 2016: Ruth catches her man

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge expounds on Ruth 3:6-18. In these passages, Ruth does what Naomi commands her, and then she begins her proposal: she uncovers Boaz's feet and lies down. Boaz wakes up to this, and realizes what is happening. What it means for us today is quite interesting! Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon today.

Also, today was our "Rally Sunday", our first day of our Sunday School for the kids and adults after our summer off. Here, Molly talks about the new things we'll see this year, and how God provides for each of us.
