August 28, 2016: Recognizing the presence of God

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge continues his series in the book of Ruth on recognizing the presence of God. After Naomi has gleaned the field and done a great job, Boaz shows hospitality and kindness to Ruth. He also instructs his workers, essentially, to leave her alone. Jesus has done the same for us! Listen how as Pastor Hodge expounds on Ruth 2:14-23.

We also had special music today with the Fagerstroms and friends, and Molly Blobaum did her sermon on friends. Finally, we also had the Gideons to come and present to us how giving to them brings Bibles to hotels, those on the street, and those who realize what this world offers is nothing...and then see Jesus offers eternal life.

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

August 21, 2016: Boaz finds a jewel in his field

This week, Pastor Hodge continues his series in the book of Ruth. This week, as she gets permission to, and gleans the fields...she finds favor with Boaz as he returns to his field. He treats her well, and she wonders why. His response should be ours: a woman of integrity and character got her the same. Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon on this section of Ruth.

We also had Connie do our special music, and Molly did her children's sermon on crayons, as students go back to school this week.

August 14, 2016: There's no place like home

Today, Pastor Michael Hodge continued in his series in book of Ruth. He expounded on Ruth 1:15-22. Naomi has experienced terrible tragedies, and here we see daughter in law Ruth wants to support and be with Naomi. Naomi encourages Ruth to leave, but Ruth makes an oath to be with her and support her.

Both arrive back in Bethlehem, but Naomi tells her family and friends there what has happened, and that the Lord is against her. But is that true? And is everything bad that happen to us God's fault?? Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon today to find out.

We also had Dale Vesta sing our special music today, by request. We hope you enjoy it! You can hear both service elements here:

August 7, 2016: Naomi's trauma

This week, Pastor Hodge begins a short series on the book of Ruth. Ruth is story of tragedy, honesty, but ultimately, hope. Naomi's husband dies, and then her two sons die. She feels that God is against her. But what is the truth in this situation, and what is our challenge when very hard times hit? Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon today to find out.

We also had our Vacation Bible School (VBS) students come up to sing a few of their songs. We hope you are blessed by it.
