Mark and Michelle Thompson - Wants to the Dance of David because they feel so BLESSED throughout their experience. Talk about how God is Jehovah Jireh, the Protector. Everyday since the tornado people from the church have come out to help clean up and rebuild.

Usually you hear two extremes about financial matters in sermons. Either you hear that you God expects you to be poor and all rich people are not following the will of God, or you hear that God wants you to be wealthy and healthy and if you are not wealthy, then you are not following the will of God.

How do these two extremes come from the same Bible? What does God's word say about finances?

Recording Issues

We apologize to those who rely on this site for hearing the sermons from Hunter Hills. On Nov. 18, 2007 we started having difficulty with our recording equipment. That sermon was not posted. The sermon on Nov. 25, 2007 was posted, but it sounds awful. Starting on December 2 the equipment wouldn't record at all.

Due to the death of my father-in-law on November 18 and then the holidays, I had no chance to troubleshoot the problem. We finally tracked it down to short-circuit in the sound card of the computer that records. We replaced it, only to discover that the adapter that changes a 1/4" stereo plug into a 1/8" mono plug had also been damaged.

I was successfully able to record the sermon on January 20, 2008. Hopefully all of our issues have been resolved and regular postings will resume. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
