Hope on THE WAY with Bishop Jon Aamodt

No one can be ready to compete in a sport unless they put on a unform. Likewise, The Apostle Paul commands the Roman Church in Ro. 13:14 to “put on the Lord Jesus.” In fact, that that was the only way they could be prepared for the evil that was about to befall them. Likewise, in our own times, the days that lay ahead will require that we put on ALL of Jesus. Listen to Fr. Jon to learn more.

Many our sorrowing and suffering in this life, and they have no idea that the root cause of their infirmities is the power of sin.

Listen to Fr. Jon to discover more.

Remember, God is on His own timetable, not ours. In fact, Jesus warned His followers of becoming impatient for His return. Now, as much ever, we must not become complacent. We must be prepared and “Get Ready for the Return of Jesus”. Listen to Fr. Jon to learn more.

Someone once said “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond”. How you respond to a gift of God’s amazing grace in your life is critically important. In fact, your response may determine your spiritual direction, now, and for all eternity. Listen to Fr. Jon to learn more.
