January 29, 2017: The 10 commandments:

This week, Pastor Hodge concluded his series on the 10 Commandments. Due to a technical issue, we are unable to upload the sermon to you this week. But join us next week as we delve into a new series starting February 5. However, we did get a recording of Molly Blobaum's children sermon, and our special music from the Seldals today. You can hear them here:

January 22, 2017: You shall not covet

This week, Pastor Hodge looks at the Commandment that says a little and yet so much: you shall not covet. What is coveting? It's a condition of the heart that desires what someone else has, instead of being content with what you have. What does it do to us? What does it take away our focus of? And what is brought by being satisfied from the heart? Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon today to find out.

We also had Diane Lizer do our children's sermon on "Twister". Our sound guy is a weather man and chases twisters, but what does this have to do with the Bible? Listen to her sermon and find out.

January 15, 2016: Truth or consequences

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge focuses in on the 9th commandment:you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. We are not to lie, and must not justify it. Practically applying this and unpacking it, we see how devastating it is to our credibility, and even more importantly, the Gospel. Listen to his sermon today on why we should not lie, and what happens when we hear one.

Also, we had Molly Blobaum do her children's sermon. Sorry for the 20 seconds of dead audio at the beginning; bear with us as the microphone comes on.

January 8, 2017: You shall not steal, or: do I have to own up to it?

This week, Pastor Hodge looks at the 8th Commandment, you shall not steal. Stealing is obvious, right? Or is it much more than robbing a bank, or taking something from someone that is not yours?
In his message today, Pastor Hodge expounds on this commandment, and some of the original language behind it. This allows us to go deeper, and realize it's more than just possessions. Listen to Pastor Hodge's sermon today to see what the Bible teaches about stealing...and it goes beyond possessions!

We also had Molly Blobaum do her children's sermon on new year resolutions, and our church Chairman Tim Struthers has a message about changes to our membership that you need to be aware of.
