Acts 7: Mirror Image - June 21, 2020

This week, Pastor Jeff was preaching in Benson at First Baptist Church, and Jason Haug was filling the pulpit in Blomkest. Both were preaching out of Acts chapter seven. We're going to upload the video of Jeff's message in Benson, as well as the audio from Jason's message (coming soon).

Blomkest has been meeting outside when possible this summer, due to COVID19 concerns. We appreciate everyone's patience and involvement during this time. 

Acts 7 focuses on Stephen's response to the allegations manufactured towards him in Acts 6. Stephen uses his words to point out the history of God's people and how the religious leadership keep missing the message (and messengers) that God is sending them.

If you have any prayer requests or would like more information about our church, please click here and send us an email.

Things we can focus on in this chapter:
  1. Our tendency to wander
  2. God's patience, grace and provision of a savior
  3. How Stephen's life mirrors the life of Christ (ours can, too!)


If you want to join us on a Sunday, bring a lawn chair or a blanket out to 204 South Main Street in Blomkest and join us for our 10:30AM service.

Acts 9: Transformed and Set Free - July 5, 2020

As we continue into our series in the book of Acts, we come to an unexpected transformation of a man named Saul. When we first met Saul, he was overseeing the murder of Stephen. At the beginning of chapter nine , he's breathing murderous threats and rounding up followers of Jesus (with the approval of the high priests). Surely, he was an enemy of the early church. But then God changes his trajectory. He transforms Saul. When God is speaking to Ananias about this change, watch how deep that change digs in: But the Lord said to Ananias,  “Go! This man is my chosen instrument  to proclaim my name to the Gentiles  and their kings  and to the people of Israel.   I will show him how much he must suffer for my name. ” - Acts 9:15-16 Saul has been chosen by God to be used by God because he's loved by God. He will share in the sufferings of Jesus as he preaches Jesus. God will not abandon Saul. He is Saul's God, and Saul is one of God's people. He's been changed. God wi

A Brief Update About Website Updates

Until this post, our website hadn't been updated in nearly a year.  We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to post more videos from our sermons shortly. We are currently in a series in Philippians, and would love to explore that letter to an early church with you. On September 2, 2021, Pastor Jeff's wife passed away because of complications around leukemia and its treatment. The result was that the updates of this website were not as high of a priority until his schedule could become more consistent, and the timing worked better to dedicate time to updates. Thank you for your prayers and support, and we welcome you to visit us on Sunday mornings at 10:30am,  all year. If you have a prayer request or a question, click here , and we promise to get back to you.
