8/24/08 Sermon “Sincerely Unified” by Pastor Rick Hogaboam (Part 9 of series “Building Blocks for a Thriving Church”)

Pastor Rick examines the necessity for a common love that binds the church family together. Apart from it, the church will fall apart. All of our actions towards each other in the church need to be motivated by love. Pastor Rick also reminds the hearer that it is impossible to rightly love others until one has been fully loved by God through Jesus Christ. When one knows the love of God, then loving others will become a natural outflow of such love in our lives.

Sovereign Grace Softball Concludes Great Year

Well, the softball year has come to an end and the final regular season records of our two teams were 11-0, and 7-4. The playoffs presented a challenge and our 11-0 team finished in 3rd place, while the other team went 2-1 in the playoffs but didn’t qualify for second round action.

Thanks to Larry Nowland and Cody Ziemer for coaching each respective team and to Brian Cooper for sponsoring the teams and keeping the per player fees very affordable. It was a great year!!!

Underhill Family Back Home Safely

The Underhill family, for those of you who didn’t get a chance to meet them, are a family from Spokane, WA who was here for 2 months undergoing assesment at Mission Aviation Fellowship here in Nampa. They succeeded in their assesment and have an assignment in Indonesia. They now have to raise money for that trip. Anyhow, it was awesome ministering to this family while they were here and they plan on returning and visiting us again. Here is a little note from them sent to me:

Hello Rick (& Mimi) We are now back in Spokane. It was good to get home. We thought of you guys as we were thrust back into the old groove. Eli said something really funny when we drove into the parking lot of our church. He said, “where are we? Oh…yes! I like this one!” you kind of had to be there to hear his voice. he had had a rough time figuring out where he was. We had a great time being a part of your congregation and getting to know your family. Thanks for the goody bag and card. Look forward to our next meeting. In Christ, Brian (& Holly)

8/17/08 Sermon “Supernatural in Power Part 7c” by Pastor Rick Hogaboam

Well, I ended up ripping the mic out early on in the message (due to sound issues), so there is no MP3 file available. I covered miracles, prophecy, discernment of spirits, tongues, and interpretation. It is my prayer that these past 3 sermons will help guide us as a church as we seek the Spirit’s edifying presence among us.

Please Pray for Phyllis Augsburger

Phyllis Augsburger has been diagnosed with an acute form of leukemia. The Augsburger family would appreciate everyone’s prayer at this time.

Pray for Baby Gavin

Matt and Andrea Masiewicz have recently attended our church and Matt just called to inform me that baby Gavin was born Thursday night, August 7th in Nampa, but has been transported to St. Lukes and is in the ICU due to breathing difficulties. His lungs aren’t functioning as they ought. The family would appreciate your prayers for baby Gavin.

Lord Jesus, we ask that you would visit baby Gavin this moment and open up his lungs with the breath of life. Bring peace to the family and assure them that You are working out Your will in this manner. Amen.

8/3/08 Sermon “Supernatural in Power” by Rick Hogaboam

Pastor Rick examines the relation of God’s promise in Joel within redemptive history in relation to the arrival of Messiah and the outpoured Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Pastor Rick contends that the work of the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant should not be restricted to regeneration and sanctification, though miraculous and glorifying to God, but should also include an “empowering/anointing” aspect which equips the Church for service and ministry. Pastor Rick will further examine the work of the Spirit within the Church next week as he deals with the gifts mentioned by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12.
