August 25, 2013: The sovereignty of God, part 1

God is holy. And today, Pastor Michael Hodge breaks down God's various qualities of Himself as part of his sovereignty. What that means for us, and how we are to respond...namely, in repentance and faith. Listen to his sermon that we recorded on this Sunday morning.

Also, we had Mark Fagerstrom talk more about sticky notes. He wants more of God's Word to "stick" with us. You can listen to his children's sermon from this morning as well.

You can hear both of these recordings from this morning here:

August 18, 2013: Hebrews 13:1-3

This Sunday, while Pastor Hodge was officiating a wedding out of town, we had Gilbert Sebenste deliver his sermon today on Hebrews 13, verses 1 to 3. A few heard this sermon at our AFLC District Bible Camp, and we hope it is a blessing to you.

We also had Shawn and Mark perform special music today, and that is included as well.

August 11, 2013: Sermon on the Mount, part 2

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge continued his sermon series on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. As believers and followers of Jesus Christ, we need to not only be hearers of God's Word, but be doers of it. Listen as Pastor Hodge expounds on that theme today.

We also had special music, and our Children's sermon was on "sticky notes" and grass.
You'll just have to listen to that sermon to find out how it connects with God!

August 4, 2013: The Srmon On The Mount: be doers of the word, and the baptism of Lorelei

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge goes to the end of the Sermon On The Mount and reminds us that we cannot just be hearers of the Word...but be doers of it as well. Otherwise, we have no faith. Of course, this does not mean our faith is works-based; we do these works because of the result of our love for Jesus, not to try to earn His favor, nor of anyone else.

We also had Randy Halverson and Marilyn Mathison sing "Because He Lives" as our special music today. We hope you enjoy it!

And of course, last but certainly not least, Dave and Connie Storey had their baby baptized today during our service. We have the complete audio recording for you to listen to.

July 28, 2013: the narrow road to God

This week, Pastor Michael Hodge talks about the narrow road to heaven through Christ Jesus. Jesus made bold claims: the only way to the Father, our Lord, is through Him. Some would dispute that, but what evidence is there in the Bible to back this up? Listen to his sermon today and find out.

Also, we had Mark Fagerstrom deliver his sermon on "sticky notes" and flowers. How are they like God? Listen to his children's sermon and find out!

July 21, 2013: Jeremiah 29: God has a plan for us

During our service today, Pastor Michael Hodge focused his sermon on Jeremiah 29. Including the famous verse that the Lord has a plan for us. What is that plan, and how do we become beneficiaries of it? Listen to his sermon today and find out!

Also, Mark Fagerstrom showed how little notes of sticky paper that you find on refrigerators, the sides of computer monitors, etc, are like how the Word of God should "stick" to us! Listen to his children's sermon to find out how.
