October 30, 2016: A day to remember: the Sabbath

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge continues in his series in the Ten Commandments. First, we need to understand it in how it was a Jewish and a Christian celebration. Then, we need to understand Jesus' understanding of the Sabbath, and how it should help us, as the Sabbath was meant for us, after all. Listen to Pastor Michael Hodge's sermon to learn about the importance of having the Sabbath in our lives today.

We also had Mark Fagerstrom do his sermon today on pumpkins, and seeds. Listen to how this is illustrative of God's Seed.

We also had Molly Blobaum do our children's sermon, and our men's quartet sang for us as well. We hope you enjoy and are blessed by all of these service elements, which can be found here:

This week, Pastor Hodge expounded on Matthew 22:35-40, and Exodus 20:1-17. We see our world falling apart morally. How is this happening, and what are we, as Christians, subjected to in our behavior and morals? Who or what defines them? Pastor Hodge answers these questions in his sermon today.
