September 29, 2013: Nehemiah, part 3

Today, Pastor Michael Hodge talks about Nehemiah chapter 2, and we start in verse 11. As Nehemiah inspects the destroyed wall and gates which used to protect Jerusalem, it saddened him to see them in this conditions. He goes back to the leaders, and asks them to rebuild the walls. After 130 years, he challenged the people to rebuild the city and walls, as it was a bad testimony of their faith. Listen how he is willing to rebuild them with the help of the Israelites, and not blame this mess on others. Instead, he was willing to be part of the solution...repenting of his sin in the process. Listen to Pastor Hodge why this is important to us.

We had a slight audio glitch in the sound system that broke the ending prayer into two separate files. Odd, but it does not affect the recordings if you listen to them in sequence.

September 22, 2013: Nehemiah, parts 1 and 2: The opposition of moving forward

This week, we present parts 1 and 2 of Pastor Hodge's series on Nehemiah, starting with chapter 1. In 445 BC, the third wave of returning Jewish exiles occurred, Nehemiah among them. There, using Godly wisdom, he was able to rebuild the walls of Jersualem despite enemies within, and outside the walls of Jerusalem which threaten to keep this critical project from moving forward. Listen as Pastor Hodge expands on these chapters.

Also, he did our children's sermon today as well. Please bear with us in part 2...I accidentally clipped off the first minute of the sermon by pressing the wrong button (sorry), but you'll pick up quickly on it. Also, I apologize for part 2 for some audio issues that were fixed during the sermon. An audio engineer's life is never easy, but God was still given the glory, and that's what counts!

September 1, 2013: The sovereignty of God, part 2

This week, Pastor Hodge continues his series on the sovereignty of God. Last week, we were reminded that the Lord is in control of everything; there are some things we cannot understand from His perspective, but He always does what is right...even when we cannot see it.

We also had Pastor Hodge do special music this morning, in preparation for his sermon this morning. Both of these recordings are available by clicking here:

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!
