June 25, 2017: The paradox of trials and spiritual growth

This week, Pastor Hodge expounded on James 1:1-4, some of the harder verses of the Bible. In the start of his new sermon series, "The paradox of trials and spiritual growth",hiss first installment is "Trials of life produce endurance". In verses 1-2, we see that trials should bring us "great joy", and that trials produce endurance. How can we have that joy? In God's word, we see that in a mature believer, this is not only possible, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can draw on God to still have joy in times of trouble.

Molly Blobaum's children sermon, our Sunday School children's choir, and Pastor Hodge's sermon can be found at the following link; we hope you are blessed by them:

June 18, 2017: Father's day

This Sunday is celebrated as Father's Day across our country. The importance of fathers cannot be understated in a family, but there is a much greater Father who is perfect, holy, and is the Father of all. Listen to Pastor Hodge as he expounds on the importance of earthly fathers...and our Heavenly Father as well.

We also had Connie Storey do our special music today; we hope you enjoy it.  You can listen to these service elements here:

May 28, 2017: Our new bodies

This week, Pastor Hodge talks about what happens to our bodies and souls after we die, and, if we are saved by Jesus, are in heaven. Now, we aren't provided a lot of specifics, but there are some things which we know are absolutely true: our bodies will be perfect, and our souls will be pure! Listen to his sermon and be encouraged.

We also had Molly Blobaum do her sermon on Memorial Day, and how not only remember those who fought and died for us on earth, but the one who fought and died and saved our souls, Jesus!

Finally, we had special music with the "Hallelujah" song. We are including the prelude here for sound analysis, as our audio engineer is struggling to make it sound really good.

May 21, 2017: I believe in the forgiveness of sins

This week, Pastor Hodge continues his series in the Apostle's Creed with the phrase "we believe in the forgiveness of sins". What are the four important words in dealing with the forgiveness of sin? Does *our* effort to be clean before God really matter? And how does God do his work of atonement in us? Listen to his sermon today to find out!

Also, we had Josiah Fagerstrom give us an update on the AFLC choir, and Molly Blobaum did her sermon on  summertime.

We believe we have cleaned up our act...on the battery front, at least. They should stop dying during the children's sermons now. :-) We hope you are blessed by these service elements.
