June 30, 2014: Planting seeds in the Kingdom of God

This week, Pastor Hodge focused on Mark 4:26-28. This is where the Bible tells us and reminds us that we are to be planting seeds in the Kingdom of God. We know that many people will reject Jesus, but that does not mean that we don't tell them the Good News! Pastor Hodge begins by explaining what the Kingdom of God is, and what qualities we need in proclaiming the Gospel...ultimately depending on God to be a good witness.

We also had Molly Blobaum deliver her children's sermon, and you can hear both by clicking here:

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

June 22, 2014: The light that cannot be hidden

Today, Pastor Michael Hodge preached on Mark 4, verses 21-22. Today, we are told to "hide" our Christianity, to not spread it, the world doesn't want it. But Jesus tells us that if we have light within us, that is, Christ...we are to let it shine before men, and not shirk back or hide it. As we walk with Christ, we become light as well, and we are to share the Great News with others, and to live and walk as Christ did.

You can hear Pastor Hodge's sermon on this, as well as our children's sermon,

We apologize, but last week, the sermon didn't get recorded...and it sounds like our pastor's tie kept brushing against our microphone this week; I apologize for that, we'll get that taken care of. And we hope you have a great week in Christ Jesus!

Hello everyone,

Today, Pastor Michael Hodge expounded on Mark 4, Jesus' parable of the sower. Once we receive the Word of God, there are various things that happen. We may let the Word dwell richly in us and accept the Word, or we can reject it. Or, it can be choked. Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon today and carefully evaluate where you are in your walk with Christ, and where we should be heading.

Also, we had Aaron and Josiah Fagerstrom do special music today. And, Michael Lowery give the testimony of the Gideons, and how they are working to spread God's word to every person in the world, and how we can partner with them. You can listen to all of these recordings here:

June 1, 2014: The true family of Jesus

Today, Pastor Hodge expounded on Mark 3, verses 31-35. Who is family? We all think o them as brothers and sisters, uncles, nieces, nephews, and so on. But in the body of Christ, we are all brothers and sisters...without exception. Jesus talks about this, and Pastor Hodge unpacks that for us today. You can hear this sermon here:
