Jonah Episode 4: The Resentful Prophet

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

An amazing miracle has happened as an entire NATION of people drops to its knees in unified repentance to the one true God. It’s every pastor’s BEST dream, but the prophet Jonah… sits. And whines. Seems a bit anti-climactic for the end of the book, like a overly-hip indie film. What we see is that [...]



Remembering Pioneer Days…

Friday, August 29th, 2008

by Jason Haggard, MHC member
I am trembling in church as James the Pastor calls down from the pulpit about the collective volunteer effort during the Lake City Pioneer Days. He fervently speaks of the opportunity for all of us to show God’s love to our city and implores each of us to give of our [...]



Jonah Episode 3: The Rebuking Prophet

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

by Pastor James Harleman
As our 4-week series on Jonah continues, a fish pukes… and the prophet rebukes. If a piece of walking, talking vomit stumbled into town and said you’ve only got forty days before God cuts you down, what would you do? Laugh? Get on your knees? I’d listen to the vomit if I [...]

Jonah Episode 1: The Rebellious Prophet

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

preached by Pastor James Harleman
The prophet Elisha was dead, Amos wouldn’t be around for forty years, and since the reign of Solomon the nation had been split into the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom Israel. During that forty year window, the only recorded prophet who brought God’s word to the people was [...]



Life Out of Death

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Oscar Torres took two gasps of air, rocked to his knees, and with his last breath praised Jesus and went to sleep.  He was thirty-two and newly married when he died.
It is uncommon for a man to use his dying days to be a light to others, yet last Thanksgiving in the grip of terminal [...]



Christian Bale us OUT…?

Friday, July 25th, 2008

I always thought Christ would save the world.  Still, while Hollywood disagrees, they’re conveniently counting on a Christian.
Actor Christian Bale is saving the city in The Dark Knight and now is set to stop the robot apocalypse, taking on the legendary role of John Connor in Terminator: Salvation.  He may also be Robin Hood in [...]



Art is Part of Who We Are

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

By Scott Philips, Mars Hill Art Team
Summer brings sunshine, even to Seattle, and opportunity to marvel at what our God has made. He has made so much, and though it is easy to become lost in the grandeur of it, there is a simplicity under-girding everything that exists.
 
Everything and everyone was made to worship Him, [...]

Fall planning rolls out for Lake City…

As we brace ourselves for three services and a Song of Songs sermon series that will impact our community at the end of September, we realize that church doesn’t end on Sunday afternoon and there is much more to living a Christian life than putting in a few hours of worship time.
