April 26, 2015: What's in a name?

This week, while Pastor Hodge was out of town, Mark Fagerstrom delivered his sermon today on what's in a name? We give names to our children, trying to be unique, or different, or more common. But in the Bible, God reveals himself as many names. Mark expounds on Revelation 1:4-8, and we see God has so many names, even Mark can't remember them all. :-) But listen to his sermon as to why we worship our God, through the many names He has been given, and given himself.

Also, we had Molly Blobaum's children's sermon on toothpaste. Just listen to it. :-) And, we also had Micah Fagerstrom and his friends sing "Amazing Grace" for us as our special music today. All of these recordings can be found here:

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

April 19, 2015: There is something wrong in the Temple!

This week, Pastor Hodge expounds on Mark 11:15-18. In essence, this is an understatement: just about everything was going wrong in the Temple of God. The Gentile Court was being misused, the Temple leaders didn't really care about God, and there really wasn't much worship going on. And then Jesus sees it, and things change in a heartbeat. What did that mean for those back then, and for us now? Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon and find out!

We also had special music from Leslie Seldal, and Mark Fagerstrom had his Children's sermon this morning. You can listen to these as well.

April 12, 2015: The peril of withering away

In this sermon, Pastor Michael Hodge shows us the danger of the church withering here in the United States. And like the fig tree, Israel was withering away. Oh, it looked healthy with healthy leaves....but there was no good fruit. But where is the heart of the people? Listen to this sobering sermon and our challenge today.

We're working on the microphone battery issue. It goes dead at the end of part 1, but it's back for part 2. No part of the sermon was missed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

In any case, you can listen to it here:
