January 26, 2014: Gnosticism and other heresy...and what to do about it

Today, Pastor Michael Hodge continued his thoughts from our Wednesday night Bible study...gnosticism, and heresy. Today, he spoke about how this occurred right thousands of years ago, still does, and explained how many publicly refuted heresy, and that we need to speak up as well.

Also, Molly Blobaum had our children's sermon on cell phones today, and tells us that this is how we communicate with each other, but God communicates by his Word. And, we also had special music...bring the tissue as Roger and Karen do a duet.

January 19, 2014: Nehemiah, and idolatry

Hello everyone,

This week, we learned about Nehemiah in chapter 13, that they needed to repent and turn from other gods and their idols (worshiping things that are not God, including false gods). Pastor Hodge details this in his sermon today, and how it should affect every believer in Christ. This is not an easy thing to accept in our day of "everything is OK as long as you don't impose your will on me", but it brings life to those who repent, believe, and draw close to God through Christ via God's Word.

Also, we had Molly Blobaum present our children's sermon today with an illustration of a photo album. You can listen to this and both sermons by clicking here:

January 12, 2014: The city begins to grow: or, from humility to new heights of celebration

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge looked at Nehemiah 11-12. He looked at how, in obedience to God, once the walls were rebuilt, the Jewish people and the priests moved back in. And there was rejoicing! Today, Pastor Hodge explains the celebration they had, and what it means to us today. You can listen to his sermon here:

January 5, 2014: Our unchanging God

Our attendance was low today largely due to the major winter storm going on, but that didn't stop our service. Pastor Michael Hodge today continued his series on the unchanging God. When God says it, he means it...and He never changes. He can turn away his wrath when people repent, but that doesn't mean who he is has changed. Listen to how that must impact every Christian today.
