What does it feel like to be replaced? On Sunday, June 14, pastor Sam Biebert from Cambridge led our service. His sermon was based on Numbers 27: 15-23, the story where God had Moses anoint Joshua as his successor, his replacement. We are reminded how even a story like this which happened so long ago applies to our churches and pastors today.

Exodus 3 - the burning bush. Join Hope and listen to Pastor Austin Ziche for his sermon on this text. Just as I AM equipped Moses, what a joy it is that we are also equipped to share the message of the Gospel and that God, I AM, is with us.

Hope's 5-17 Ascension Sunday's service was officiated by Pastor Sam Biebert of Christ Lutheran in Cambridge. Sermon theme: "What difference does it make?" Here is Pastor's challenge. Take 5 minutes a day for a week and pray on verses 18 and 19 from Ephesians 2: "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope to which he has called you, just how rich his glorious inheritance among the saints is, and just how surpassingly great his power is for us who believe."
