November 17, 2013: Nehemiah, part 9

In Pastor Hodge's continuing series in Nehemiah, we invite you to listen to it. I was stuck on severe weather duty, so I am going to listen to it and find out what it is all about as well! And speaking
of the storms, there are a few glitches due to power surges caused by the storms. We apologize for the inconvenience. You can listen to the sermon here:

November 10, 2013: Nehemiah, part 8: The people of God together, and when revival comes

Hello everyone,

Today, Pastor Michael Hodge, in part 8 of his series on the book of Nehemiah, continues with the title "The People of God together---listening, responding, and rejoicing, or, some of the things that happen when revival comes". I can't improve on that, so listen to his sermon and see what happens when revival comes, and how it came in Nehemiah's day. And, how it has the possibility of happening even today. Listen to it here:

We hope you are blessed by the sermon, and hope you have a great week in Christ Jesus!

November 3, 2013: Nehemiah, part 7: Dealing with an enemy's plot

On this chilly but mostly sunny Sunday morning, Pastor Michael Hodge continued his series in the book of Nehemiah in God's Word. As we look at Nehemiah chapter 6, we see his enemies plotting against him, to stop the work God had assigned him to do. Even worse, they try to deceive him into sinning and putting God's people in jeopardy. How Nehemiah responded should be our way that we respond when people do the same to us. Moreover, if we do these things, we are to repent and apologize for causing harm and division within the body of Christ. This sermon should be listened to with an ear to whether or not this applies to us.

We also had Roger Seldal do our special music for today, and we hope you find that a blessing as well.

October 27, 2013: Nehemiah, part 6: How God's plans are carried out

Today, Pastor Michael Hodge continued his series in Nehemiah today, with a sermon "With God's help, great plans are carried out". Of course, we know that without God, nothing is possible. But when he plans something, and wants it to be carried out, we are to look to him to know that plan, and then work together to carry it out. Today's sermon is about how we are to work together to make that happen. Learn how we can do this today.

Also, Molly Blobaum had our children's sermon, and we hope you are blessed by it as well.

And may you have a great week in Christ Jesus!

October 20, 2013: Nehemiah, part 5: criticism

As Pastor Hodge continues his series in the book of Nehemiah,  we come to chapter 4. And in this section, Nehemiah is faced with very heavy criticism from one of his countrymen. In fact, he blames the Jewish people and tells them that they will abandon him and those who aren't Jewish. Furthermore, he stirs up strife against external enemies.

Today, we aren't alone. Christians face criticism constantly. How are we to handle it? Nehemiah has been told by God that he is to rebuild the walls, and God will not thwart those plans. See how it unfolds in Pastor Hodge's sermon today.

You can listen to his sermon here; due to some technical difficulties, please skip to the 5 minute, 40 second mark in the recording to hear it.

October 13, 2013: Roger Scott, the Apostle's Creed, and more

Today, we had a special guest speaker, Roger Scott. As you'll hear in the message, he touched today on two things. One was the Apostle's Creed, and the other was based on one of the Scripture readings we had this morning. Find out what Roger had to tell us today by listening to his message.

We also had special music, "The Old Story", and we had Molly Blobaum doing our children's sermon. Listen to all of these recordings here:

October 6, 2013: Nehemiah part 4: Working as one in the Lord

This week, Pastor Hodge takes a look at Nehemiah chapter 3;  we look at the part where the walls of Jerusalem are being rebuilt. Without the effort of all of God's people, this couldn't have been done. In our day, we cannot be effective in the Lord unless we work together, in Christ Jesus, to advance His kingdom by serving him with our gifts. Listen to how and why this needs to be done today.

Also, we had special music as well; we hope you enjoy it! You can listen to both here:
