April 27, 2025: Christian tolerance, truth and training

This week, Pastor Hodge expounded on Acts 18:12-23. There is so much talk about "tolerance" these days, but what does the Bible say about tolerance? These verses are expounded on and teach us, in part, that sin and evil in our lives, and evil in general is not to be tolerated by Christians in their personal lives. But what about others? Watch our service this week to find out, and we pray you are blessed by it!

April 20, 2025: Our Easter 2025 service

Christ has risen! You've heard this many times. Is this true? Let's unpack Matthew and the Bible on why salvation is only available though Jesus Christ, that you can be assured that if you truly believe in Christ and have turned from your wicked ways, you will be with Jesus, and heaven, forever. Christ has died for our wickedness, and saved us from His wrath when we believe in Him!

April 6, 2025: When discouraged, remember...

This is our April 6, 2025 service. This week, Pastor Hodge expounded on Acts 18:1-11. and demonstrates that although the Apostle Paul was disappointed and discouraged, he had friends to encourage him...and most importantly, by far, God let him know directly that He was with him! For those who believe, that also goes for us...He is with us, regardless of our circumstances. See how this happens in his sermon from this Sunday morning.

March 30, 2025: Beyond gods of gold

This is our March 30, 2025 service. This week, Pastor Hodge expounds in the book of Acts, specifically in Acts 17:22-31. Here, we see how the apostle Paul pleads for Christ in a way that does not compromise the truth, but is not personally insulting, except, of course, for the Gospel himself. As a result of working with God by the Holy Spirit, Paul preaches the Gospel faithfully. How can we do that in a mad world today? Watch as Pastor Hodge expounds on these verses, and gives some helpful examples.

March 23, 2025: Ignorance, intelligence, and idolatry

This is our March 23, 2025 service. This week, pastor Hodge continues in the book of Acts, in verses 17:1-21. with a sermon titled "Ignorance, Intelligence and Idolatry". We see how many rejected the Gospel in the various regions the Apostle Paul preached, but he continued to proclaim the truth, as we must, not matter if anyone receives the truth. Watch how we are to do this today, even in the face of suffering.

March 16, 2025: A Godly witness in a bleak situation

This is our March 16, 2025 service. This week, Pastor Hodge expounded on Acts 16:22-40, teaching us several important things. We will be persecuted as Christians, but how we react to that can bring others to love Christ. Watch how Paul and Silas deal with a situation where they are illegally and brutally beaten, before thrown into prison without a trial. What happens is salvation comes to a jailer and his family. Watch how this unfolds in Pastor Hodge's sermon today!
