7/5/20 Mark 6:1-13 “Hometown Boy Makes Good” This is our 4th of July weekend and I hope that you have all enjoyed it as best you can. It is a time when people come home from afar and meet with family and friends. It is a...

6/21/20 2 Cor. 6:1-13 “Going to the Edge of Life and Death!” I remember several years ago when we went to Spirit Lake Reservation near Devils Lake on a mission trip. We were in an area of the state where there are many people who don’t...
