Along the way members share real stories of God prompting them to help strangers, and one shares a poem of thanks. The morning opens with "Count Your Blessings" and "It Is Well With My Soul" and closes with "Wonderful Merciful Savior." https://www.youtube.com/embed/ls4nZosKMWU 3159 2026-07-13T04:22:46+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-7-05-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-07-06 2026-07-06 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/7LaHAmQWwrU/maxresdefault.jpg Christ-Centered Dating and Relationships This week's message is a panel conversation on Christ-centered dating and relationships. Pastor Tim leads married couples and Pastor Gennady through practical, biblical wisdom: date with marriage in mind, keep God at the center through prayer and fasting, guard your boundaries and purity, avoid being unequally yoked, and trust God's timing over your own. The morning also includes two songs of worship and a reading from Psalm 47. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7LaHAmQWwrU 3417 2026-07-06T04:07:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-6-28-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-06-29 2026-06-29 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/ZMGHZ4UgXvU/maxresdefault.jpg Godly Relationships and Dating This service centers on a special panel discussion about relationships and dating, with Pastor Tim hosting three married couples who share how they met, how prayer and fasting guided them to their spouses, and the red flags that should send a single person walking away. Their stories are honest and often funny, from a proposal in the church parking lot to a courtship that led to marriage in four months. The morning opens with two worship songs and a reading of Psalm 46, and closes with prayer and the Lord"s Prayer.

The service opens with the worship songs 'How Deep the Father's Love for Us' and 'Bless the Lord, Oh My Soul,' a reading from Psalm 45, and a special song from Daniel, 'His Eye Is on the Sparrow.'

Pastors Tim and Gennady walk through 2 Peter, Romans, and Ephesians to show that God's patience is meant to lead us to repentance, and that we grow this fruit through trials and testing. The service opens with worship including 'When We All Get to Heaven' and 'He Is Exalted,' a reading from Psalm 44, and closes with 'Grace That Is Greater.' Members share honest examples of where patience is hardest, from parenting to waiting on God. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hS_Kny4GFKQ 3764 2026-06-08T04:16:13+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-5-31-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-06-01 2026-06-01 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Ip1NLpj5e0Q/maxresdefault.jpg The Peace That Outlasts the Storm This week Pastor Tim and Pastor Gennady continue their series on the fruit of the Spirit with a discussion on peace, taking questions and stories from the congregation. They contrast the world's conditional peace with the lasting peace Jesus gives: calm in the storm, reconciliation with God, and peace with one another, all flowing from abiding in Christ the true vine. Worship includes "As the Deer," "Indescribable," and "Thank You for the Cross," with readings from Psalm 43 and John. It is a warm, conversational morning that invites believers to bear the fruit of peace and become peacemakers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ip1NLpj5e0Q 3591 2026-06-01T04:08:28+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-5-24-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-05-25 2026-05-25 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/FYbACQnFCKU/maxresdefault.jpg The Power of the Holy Spirit to Witness On Pentecost Sunday, brother Vlad teaches that the Holy Spirit is God himself, given to every believer, and that the gift the church needs most is the power to witness, starting right here at home rather than only in distant lands. He weaves in the story of D.L. Moody, who preached the same sermons but saw hundreds converted once he sought and received that power, and calls everyone to pray, prepare their hearts, and gather to bring the lost to Christ. The morning opens with the hymns “Love Lifted Me” and “Showers of Blessing,” a reading of Psalm 42, and a prepared song from Evnika, and closes with “How Deep the Father's Love for Us.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/FYbACQnFCKU 3709 2026-05-25T04:49:28+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-5-17-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-05-18 2026-05-18 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/yneymFeH_0c/maxresdefault.jpg Go and Make Disciples Three leaders walk the church through its next chapter: a renewed call to win souls and make disciples. Drawing on the parable of the great supper and the Great Commission, they press for a real, surrendered faith and share a simple 5-3-1 plan to choose five lost people, pray for them by name, love them, and walk them from stranger to disciple. The morning opens with two congregational songs, "As the Deer" and "Lord, I Offer My Life to You," and closes in prayer and the Lord's Prayer. It is honest, searching, and aimed squarely at the church's mission. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yneymFeH_0c 3604 2026-05-18T04:22:34+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-5-10-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-05-11 2026-05-11 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/H6EPiiN-9SA/maxresdefault.jpg The Joy That Holds in the Storm This week's message looks at joy as a fruit of the Spirit: not a passing happiness tied to circumstances, but a deep, spiritual peace that comes from knowing Jesus is with you and in control, especially in life's storms. Drawing on Psalm 42, John 15, and the lives of believers who suffered greatly, the preacher shows that lasting joy grows only as we abide in Christ. The service also includes hymns of redemption and mercy and a Mother's Day blessing for the church. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H6EPiiN-9SA 2711 2026-05-11T03:51:41+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-5-3-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-05-04 2026-05-04 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/ISTw8dPqRZQ/maxresdefault.jpg Love One Another as Christ Loved Us This week's message centers on love, the fourth and final love Jesus commands: love one another. Pastors Tim and Gennady walk through John 15 and 13 and 1 John 3 to show that real agape love is sacrificial and willing to correct a brother for his good, not just being nice, and that the world knows Christ's disciples by how they love. The morning opens with "Give Thanks" and "I Surrender All" and closes with "Holy of Holies," framed by a reading of Psalm 41 and prayer for the children. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ISTw8dPqRZQ 3309 2026-05-04T04:10:17+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-4-26-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-04-27 2026-04-27 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/wKMKnbVWJy8/maxresdefault.jpg Loving Your Enemies Because They Need It Pastor Tim and Pastor Gennady lead a discussion on loving your enemies from Matthew 5, working through what it means to love, bless, do good to, and pray for those who hurt us. They teach that we love enemies not because they deserve it but because they need it, just as Christ loved us while we were still his enemies, and they share testimonies of kindness and prayer breaking a hardened heart. The morning opens with worship including 'Holy, Holy, Holy' and '10,000 Reasons,' a reading from Psalm 40, and closes with 'Goodness of God.' https://www.youtube.com/embed/wKMKnbVWJy8 3484 2026-04-27T04:22:38+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-4-19-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-04-20 2026-04-20 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/l5ZftiPoFfY/maxresdefault.jpg Loving Your Neighbor With Wisdom Pastor Tim and Vlad lead a discussion on loving your neighbor, opening up the parable of the good Samaritan to show that our neighbor is anyone whose path we cross and who is in need. They also weigh the practical side: how to help wisely and lean on the Holy Spirit for discernment when someone may be taking advantage. The service opens with "Jesus Paid It All" and "Lord I Offer My Life to You," includes a reading from Psalm 39, and closes with "Behold Our God." https://www.youtube.com/embed/l5ZftiPoFfY 3743 2026-04-20T04:42:34+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-4-12-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-04-13 2026-04-13 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/7-0_2AySsXQ/maxresdefault.jpg Loving God With Heart, Soul, and Mind This week Pastors Tim and Gennady lead a discussion on what it means to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, drawing from Matthew 22:37 and the call to agape love that reaches even our enemies. They describe the Holy Spirit as the helper who transforms our hearts and lives into the image of Christ, and take questions from the congregation along the way. Worship includes "Sweet Hour of Prayer," "I Worship You Almighty God," and "There Is Power in the Blood," with a reading from Psalm 38. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7-0_2AySsXQ 3713 2026-04-13T04:11:58+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-3-29-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-03-30 2026-03-30 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/JcNsvbQaJJw/maxresdefault.jpg Loving God Through the Help of the Holy Spirit Pastor Tim and Pastor Henry lead a warm, practical discussion on how to love God, drawing from Jesus' teaching that those who love him keep his commandments. They explore how that love starts as a daily choice to obey and grows into real affection, and how the Holy Spirit, sent as our helper, teaches us, reminds us, and gives us strength to love God well. The morning also holds two hymns of the cross, a Palm Sunday reading, and Daniel's special song Give Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JcNsvbQaJJw 3972 2026-03-30T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-3-22-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-03-23 2026-03-23 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/3O1qbF3cbrE/maxresdefault.jpg Who Is the Holy Spirit This week the church works through who the Holy Spirit is: the third person of the Trinity, fully God, who lets every believer walk with Christ at all times. Pastors Tim and Henry trace the distinct persons of Father, Son, and Spirit through Genesis, John, and Revelation, answer a member's worry about the unpardonable sin, and show how knowing the Spirit changes the way we pray. The morning opens with Psalm 8 and 35 and the songs Above All and As the Deer, and closes with He Is Exalted. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3O1qbF3cbrE 3805 2026-03-23T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-3-15-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-03-16 2026-03-16 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/ysua_kaQaME/maxresdefault.jpg The Rooted Mind: Meditating on God's Word This week's message, The Rooted Mind, walks through Psalm 1 to ask why believers feel drained and anxious despite reading their Bibles, and answers that the difference is meditation: a mind that delights in and chews on God's word grows roots that hold through drought. The preacher challenges everyone to take just one verse this week and return to it day and night. The congregation sings Lord, I Lift Your Name on High, In Christ Alone, and Yet Not I, But Through Christ in Me, with a reading from Psalm 34. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ysua_kaQaME 2431 2026-03-16T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-3-01-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-03-02 2026-03-02 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/8EP7I-lXdFI/maxresdefault.jpg Feeding on the Word to Grow Tim teaches on dwelling in the word of God, showing that truth is God's to define and is settled in Scripture, and that a believer who does not feed on the word stays a spiritual infant while one who reads it is exposed, freed, and grown into maturity. The morning opens with worship in Shine, Jesus, Shine and Showers of Blessing, a reading from Psalm 33, and a special song from Sister Ally, Give Me Jesus, and closes with Behold Our God. It is a warm, plain call to make the Bible our daily food. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8EP7I-lXdFI 2848 2026-03-02T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-2-22-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-02-23 2026-02-23 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/qPzU6Nm1Bk4/maxresdefault.jpg The Living Water and the Spirit-Filled Life Pastor Tim teaches from John 4 and the Samaritan woman at the well that Jesus is the living water, the Holy Spirit our spirit needs to live. He warns that we can come to church for years yet never be born again, and that worship counts only when it is in spirit and truth, our cup filled by Christ rather than the works of the flesh. The morning opens and closes in congregational worship, ending with He Will Hold Me Fast and a call to draw clean from the source. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qPzU6Nm1Bk4 3658 2026-02-23T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-2-15-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-02-16 2026-02-16 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/QLm-Lcn8OUY/maxresdefault.jpg When the Winter Season Feels Stuck Brother Vlad preaches on the flat, stuck stretches of a faithful walk, the winter season when prayer feels like it hits the ceiling and nothing seems to grow. Through the road to Emmaus he shows that Jesus is already walking beside us unseen, and that like a tree in winter, God is growing roots we cannot yet see. The morning also holds two opening songs, a reading of Psalm 31, special music from Vicki and Esther, the appointing of new servants to ministry, and a closing in Holy of Holies. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QLm-Lcn8OUY 2594 2026-02-16T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-2-08-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-02-09 2026-02-09 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/m8xbUw-LF3I/maxresdefault.jpg If You're God, Do Something About It Visiting speaker Dave Glander shares a raw testimony of salvation: a childhood broken by abuse, lost years in drug addiction, atheism, and the occult, and the night at rock bottom when he prayed, “If you’re God, do something about it,” and surrendered his life to Christ. He testifies that God transforms anyone who comes to him in humility and challenges every listener to weigh where they will spend eternity. The morning opens with worship on “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” and “Thank You for the Cross, Lord,” a reading of Psalm 30, and closes as the Spirit moves through “Lord, I Offer My Life.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/m8xbUw-LF3I 3461 2026-02-09T05:21:59+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-2-01-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-02-02 2026-02-02 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/CDLZc2JWpsI/maxresdefault.jpg From Spiritual Birth to Spiritual Growth This message moves from spiritual birth to spiritual growth, asking what comes after we are born again. Walking through Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4, the preacher shows that the Holy Spirit is the living water within us, the one source that satisfies the soul when relationships, success, and the things of this world never can. The morning holds opening worship in Above All and Blessed Assurance, testimonies of answered prayer, and a closing song of Count Your Blessings, and ends with a man coming forward to receive Christ. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CDLZc2JWpsI 3854 2026-02-02T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-1-25-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-01-26 2026-01-26 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/RFLM-k29VCE/maxresdefault.jpg Born Again: Acknowledge, Repent, Accept Pastor Tim and Pastor Gennady continue their discussion on being born again, drawing from Jesus and Nicodemus to lay out three plain steps to salvation: acknowledge you are a sinner, repent and turn from your old life, and accept Christ as Lord and Savior whose blood makes you a new creation. They take questions from the room and press everyone to be certain of where they stand. The morning is framed by the hymns Victory in Jesus, How Great Thou Art, and Soon and Very Soon, and closes with prayer for healing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/RFLM-k29VCE 3853 2026-01-26T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-1-18-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-01-19 2026-01-19 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Rjf5-dYGtmE/maxresdefault.jpg Born Again: The First Step of Repentance Pastor Henry and Pastor Tim begin a series on being born again, working through Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3. They teach that beyond our natural birth we each must choose a spiritual birth, and that the first step is genuine repentance: acknowledging our sin and turning fully toward God to make Christ our Lord. The morning opens with worship in "Yet Not I But Christ Through Me" and "Come Thou Fount," and closes with "Wonderful, Merciful Savior" and prayer for those who are lost. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Rjf5-dYGtmE 3550 2026-01-19T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-1-4-2026-morning-star-church-of-boise-2026-01-05 2026-01-05 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Vn8xgTA9MGA/maxresdefault.jpg The Power of Fasting This week the teaching is on fasting: Pastors Tim and Gennady lead a discussion on what a true biblical fast is, a deliberate denial of the flesh and a commitment made before God to seek a breakthrough for a specific need. Walking through Isaiah 58, Jesus in the wilderness, and the fasts of Daniel, Esther, and Nineveh, and inviting testimonies from the congregation, they encourage starting small with a clear purpose. Worship includes Shine Jesus Shine, What a Friend We Have in Jesus, and Great Is Thy Faithfulness, with a tender special song by Sister Ally and the rededication of a brother named Roger. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vn8xgTA9MGA 3833 2026-01-05T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-12-28-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-12-29 2025-12-29 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Q60a13Oqk_E/maxresdefault.jpg Looking Back on a Year of God’s Faithfulness Looking back over the past year, the church celebrates God’s faithfulness with a slideshow of his work, from baptisms to community outreach, and a reflection that calls everyone to trust the Lord and let go of old hurts heading into the new year. The pastors then gather each ministry that serves the church, from the worship team and ushers to the greeters and kitchen, and speak a blessing over them. The congregation sings What Child Is This and Here I Am to Worship, and the service closes by speaking the Lord’s blessing over everyone for the year ahead. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q60a13Oqk_E 3366 2025-12-29T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-12-21-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-12-22 2025-12-22 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/55J5VrZVHTI/maxresdefault.jpg The Savior Born to Set Us Free On Christmas morning the message turns to the birth of Christ in Matthew 1 and asks who this child really is: God's Son, who came out of love to save us and to set us free from sin, and who becomes Savior when we make him Lord. The Morning Star youth choir offers a prepared Christmas program of carols and narration, and the congregation joins in hymns from “O Holy Night” to “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” A warm, celebratory service centered on the gift of the incarnation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/55J5VrZVHTI 3607 2025-12-22T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-12-14-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-12-15 2025-12-15 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/WQXhGi0_o8o/maxresdefault.jpg The Lord's Prayer and Breaking Free from Sin Pastors Tim and Henry lead a Q&A on how to pray the way Jesus taught, walking through the Lord's Prayer line by line: calling God Father, praising his name, seeking his will, asking for daily needs, forgiving others, and being delivered from the evil one. They then take the harder question of why believers still struggle with sin, drawing a clear line between God forgiving what we did and God cleansing us so a sin no longer holds us, and pointing to abiding in Christ as the trainer who knows our weak spots. Daniel offers What Child Is This as special music, the church sings Christmas carols, and one man rededicates his life with prayer. Warm, candid, and full of congregational testimony. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WQXhGi0_o8o 4059 2025-12-15T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-12-07-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-12-08 2025-12-08 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Vs4KNefwLgc/maxresdefault.jpg Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers This week's message is a Q&A discussion on why God doesn't always answer our prayers and how to pray. Pastors Tim and Gennady teach that unconfessed sin and selfish motives hinder prayer, that a righteous God often lovingly says no for our good, and that the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 is a model for praying honestly to the Father. Congregation members share their own doubts and faith as the leaders point them back to drawing near to God. The service closes with the congregation singing Hark the Herald Angels Sing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vs4KNefwLgc 3332 2025-12-08T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-11-30-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-12-01 2025-12-01 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/S-BjRuSfFhA/maxresdefault.jpg Honest Questions: Suffering, Doubt, and Purpose This week's message is a pastor-led Q&A working through honest questions people put in the box: how many will be saved, why a loving God allows suffering, how we can know God is real, and what our purpose is. Pastors Tim and Henry teach that suffering entered the world through free will and sin, that God himself suffered and so can carry us through pain, and that our deepest purpose is to be reunited with our Creator. The morning opens with congregational worship (It Is Well With My Soul and Grace Greater Than Our Sin) and closes with Jesus Paid It All, framing the whole service in grace and hope. https://www.youtube.com/embed/S-BjRuSfFhA 3496 2025-12-01T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-11-232025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-11-24 2025-11-24 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/CcuSMlmILFA/maxresdefault.jpg Always Give Thanks: The Joy That Outlasts Circumstances Pastor Tim preaches a Thanksgiving message on giving thanks to God always and in everything. Pointing to the Apostle Paul, who remained thankful through prison and hardship, he teaches that lasting joy and gratitude do not come from what we have but from who we have in Christ, who satisfies every need the world cannot. The morning opens with the worship songs “Thank You, Lord” and closes with “Showers of Blessing,” framed by a reading of Psalm 19 and a time of shared needs and answered prayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CcuSMlmILFA 2673 2025-11-24T04:51:57+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-11-162025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-11-17 2025-11-17 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/VpB4LnLxNbw/maxresdefault.jpg Do Not Covet: The Contentment That Frees Us This week's message walks through the tenth commandment, you shall not covet, and the contentment that frees us from it. Pastors Tim and Gennady lead an open, congregation-wide discussion, defining coveting as a jealous wanting of what belongs to others and showing through the story of Ahab and Naboth how it steals joy and peace and breeds further sin. The call is plain: be thankful for what you have, work honestly toward your needs, and bring your struggles to Christ for restoration. Worship includes Holy, Holy, Holy, Amazing Grace, and Victory in Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VpB4LnLxNbw 3972 2025-11-17T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-11-09-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-11-10 2025-11-10 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/c2OMmyFRfVU/maxresdefault.jpg You Shall Not Bear False Witness This week Pastor Tim and Pastor Gennady lead the congregation through the ninth commandment, you shall not bear false witness. Together they show that false witness is more than perjury: it is lying, gossip, and even careless words about what we have not verified, a sin God hates with real and devastating consequences, answered only by repentance, reconciliation, and walking in truth that builds Christlike character. The service also appoints Brother Vlad as worship leader, opens with Above All, and closes with Are You Washed in the Blood and I'll Fly Away. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c2OMmyFRfVU 3611 2025-11-10T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-11-02-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-11-03 2025-11-03 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/R9VxvzVuawI/maxresdefault.jpg The Eighth Commandment: You Shall Not Steal Pastor Gennady and Pastor Tim lead a discussion on the eighth commandment, “You shall not steal,” opening it up well beyond shoplifting to stealing time at work, taking credit for others' work, and withholding from God and from people in need. They take questions and stories from the congregation, point to the forgiven thief on the cross, and land on confession, repentance, and trusting God to provide. The morning also holds two opening hymns, a special rendition of “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” and a member's moving testimony of restitution and generosity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/R9VxvzVuawI 4068 2025-11-03T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-10-26-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-10-27 2025-10-27 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/bYC3Vrvhn8I/maxresdefault.jpg Who Am I? Created by God, Not by Chance A guest speaker, geologist Bill Hos of the Mount St. Helens Creation Center, tackles the question "Who am I?" by setting the evolutionary story against the biblical account of creation. Walking through the fossil record, the laws of thermodynamics, and famous scientific frauds like Piltdown Man and Nebraska Man, he argues that we are not cosmic accidents but image-bearers created by God with purpose and value, and he weaves in his own testimony of coming to Christ. The service opens with the hymns "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "All to Jesus I Surrender" and a reading from Psalm 14, and closes with "He Is Exalted." https://www.youtube.com/embed/bYC3Vrvhn8I 3859 2025-10-27T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-10-19-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-10-20 2025-10-20 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/tYjxwUBoU_Y/maxresdefault.jpg Engaged to Christ: The Seventh Commandment This week the church works through the seventh commandment, You shall not commit adultery, and what faithfulness really means. Pastors Tim and Gennady lead a discussion that takes the congregation through adultery of the flesh, the heart, and the spirit, teaching that sin starts in the heart and must be cut off, that intimacy belongs within marriage, and that every believer is engaged to Christ and called to stay faithful to him. The service opens with How Great Thou Art and To God Be the Glory and closes on In Christ Alone, with a clear invitation to examine yourself, repent, and come home to Christ. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tYjxwUBoU_Y 4094 2025-10-20T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-10-12-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-10-13 2025-10-13 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/I9wph4WPqFM/maxresdefault.jpg You Shall Not Murder: The Sixth Commandment Pastors Tim and Henry work through the sixth commandment, You shall not murder, showing how Jesus traces murder back to its root in hatred and envy in the heart, so that even unspoken hatred makes us guilty before God. They distinguish murder from killing in self-defense, weigh the cost of abortion, suicide, and violence against God's gift of life, and point to the only way out: repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation through Christ, who forgave his enemies from the cross. The congregation sings He Is Exalted, The Savior Is Waiting, and The Old Rugged Cross, and the service closes in prayer for needs and the Lord's Prayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/I9wph4WPqFM 3811 2025-10-13T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-morning-9-00am-10-05-2025-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-10-06 2025-10-06 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/nBE0bpNMk6E/maxresdefault.jpg From Promise to Prize Brother Tim teaches from James 2 that real faith always shows itself in works, using Abraham’s offering of Isaac and Rahab’s rescue of the spies to show that those who trust and obey God to the end receive his promise of eternal life. He urges the church not to sit on the good news but to go and make disciples. The morning also holds three songs of worship, a special song, and a brother’s testimony of God’s provision. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nBE0bpNMk6E 4029 2025-10-06T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-9-21-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-09-22 2025-09-22 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/ynC8H7rn0Wc/maxresdefault.jpg Honor and Obedience: The Fifth Commandment Pastors Gennady and Tim work through the fifth commandment, drawing a clear line between honoring your parents and obeying them: obedience can rightly end, but honor never does, even toward a parent who was absent or abusive. They show what honoring looks like in real life (forgiving, helping, refusing to slander, breaking generational patterns) and why it carries God’s promise of a life that goes well and lasts. The morning also holds two opening hymns, a reading from Psalm 9, and a special song from Mike and Vitali, and closes with prayer over several needs in the congregation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ynC8H7rn0Wc 3867 2025-09-22T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-9-14-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-09-15 2025-09-15 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/f-CAuLICTAM/maxresdefault.jpg Resting in Christ: The Fourth Commandment Pastor Tim and Pastor Henry walk through the fourth commandment, tracing the Sabbath from its Old Testament roots as God's gift of freedom to a people enslaved 400 years, into its fulfillment as a daily rest in Jesus Christ. Their central point: we no longer keep the Sabbath as a burden of rules but rest in Christ out of love, trusting him with our worries and coming boldly to him to break the bondage of sin. The congregation sings All to Jesus I Surrender, Give Thanks, and Blessed Assurance, and the service closes with prayer for jobs, housing, and healing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-CAuLICTAM 3610 2025-09-15T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-9-07-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-09-08 2025-09-08 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/9JIv9-Fw7eE/maxresdefault.jpg Honoring God's Name: The Third Commandment Pastors Tim and Henry lead a discussion on the third commandment, you shall not take the Lord's name in vain, working through four ways we misuse it: casual or empty speech, false oaths and broken promises, hypocrisy and a double life, and practicing righteousness to be seen by others. They show that honoring God's name means living what we profess, and that we need Christ's strength to do it, not our own. The service opens with Give Thanks and Blessed Assurance, a reading of Psalm 7, and closes with How Great Thou Art. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9JIv9-Fw7eE 3542 2025-09-08T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-8-24-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-08-25 2025-08-25 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/POZHQwpjZKI/maxresdefault.jpg Show No Partiality: The Heart of Christ Pastor Tim continues through James chapter 2, teaching that the heart of Christ shows no partiality: God loves the poor and the rich alike, and a church that overlooks the broken or runs after the wealthy has missed the royal law to love your neighbor as yourself. He calls believers to carry Christ's selfless love wherever they go, treating every person with respect and never chasing what this world admires over what is eternal. The morning opens with As the Deer and Behold Our God, a reading of Psalm 6, and closes with the hymn Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus and prayer over the congregation's needs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/POZHQwpjZKI 3477 2025-08-25T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-8-17-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-08-18 2025-08-18 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/7rNYyRS4FEs/maxresdefault.jpg Your Labor Is Not in Vain The message centers on laboring for the Lord: drawing on 1 Corinthians 15:58, the pastor teaches that whatever we do in the Lord, however small, is never in vain, and that God rewards the faithful laborer wherever they serve. The morning also honors Emma, who is stepping down from leading the church’s Saturday breakfast ministry, and commissions James as her successor. Worship includes a piano hymn, a youth song in Russian, and a closing congregational song before the church gathers for breakfast. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7rNYyRS4FEs 2582 2025-08-18T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-8-3-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-08-04 2025-08-04 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/PDDnR_EmYXg/maxresdefault.jpg Heirs of the Kingdom, Rich in Faith This message from James 2:5 turns the world's values upside down: God chooses the poor to be rich in faith and makes them heirs of his eternal kingdom. Brother Tim teaches that being rich in faith means depending wholly on God in every season, not only in crisis, and that those who call themselves heirs must carry themselves as ambassadors of Christ who reflect his image in a watching world. The service opens with congregational worship and a reading of Psalm 3, features special music from a group of brothers singing Hear My Song, Lord, and closes with the hymn There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PDDnR_EmYXg 3234 2025-08-04T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-7-27-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-07-28 2025-07-28 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/j2MeRlOzxxE/maxresdefault.jpg Show No Partiality: Love Every Person Equally This week's message is on showing no partiality. Teaching from James 2, Pastor Tim reminds the church that favoring the rich, the well-dressed, or the influential while overlooking the poor is sin, because every person is made in God's image and Jesus sat with rich and poor alike. The morning includes two opening hymns, a stirring special of It Is Well With My Soul sung by brother Daniel, and a closing song of trust in God's strength. It is a warm, practical call to love and respect every person who walks through the door. https://www.youtube.com/embed/j2MeRlOzxxE 3092 2025-07-28T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-7-20-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-07-21 2025-07-21 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/8hIixNM9kr8/maxresdefault.jpg The Lukewarm Church: Christ's Letter to Laodicea Pastor Henry closes his series through Revelation with Christ's letter to the lukewarm church of Laodicea, a rich and self-satisfied city that thought it needed nothing while Christ called it wretched, poor, and blind. He unfolds the counsel to buy refined gold through the fire of hard times, white garments of repentance, and to open the door so Christ may come in and dine with us, ending with a call to leave lukewarm faith behind and become zealous for him. The morning opens with congregational worship and a reading of Psalm 1, and closes on Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me. It is a searching, mirror-held-up message about whether our faith is warm, cold, or truly on fire. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8hIixNM9kr8 3571 2025-07-21T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-7-13-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-07-14 2025-07-14 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/jeO1WPEwnEA/maxresdefault.jpg Hold Fast: The Faithful Church of Philadelphia Pastor Henry continues his series in Revelation with the letter of Jesus Christ to the faithful church of Philadelphia, a small church praised not for power or influence but for keeping God's word and persevering, with the promise of being kept from the hour of testing and made a pillar in God's temple. The message calls each listener to truly obey Scripture and let Christ reign as king. The congregation worships with Come Thou Fountain, There Is None Like You, and Lord, I Lift Your Name on High. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jeO1WPEwnEA 3487 2025-07-14T04:05:16+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-7-06-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-07-07 2025-07-07 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/QgUuQp7uZYM/maxresdefault.jpg Wake Up: The Letter to Sardis This message walks through Christ's letter to the church in Sardis in Revelation 3, a church with a reputation for being alive that was in fact spiritually dead and asleep. Pastor Henry traces how wealth breeds self-sufficiency, self-confidence, and indulgence, and warns that a name can be erased from the book of life when we stop walking with Jesus. The call is plain: wake up, repent, and live an awake faith. The morning opens with the hymns As the Deer and What a Friend We Have in Jesus and closes with You Are My All in All. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QgUuQp7uZYM 3308 2025-07-07T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-6-22-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-06-23 2025-06-23 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/9Dji8Z_fu4c/maxresdefault.jpg The Church of Thyatira: Christ's Fiery Eyes Pastor Henry continues the Revelation series with the letter to the church of Thyatira, showing a Jesus whose eyes blaze like fire and whose anger, when it comes, is always for the good of his people. He commends the church's growing love, faith, and service, then warns against tolerating the Jezebel spirit that excuses sin as deep theology. The recurring call is to read these letters like a mirror: we are saved by faith but judged by our deeds, so examine your heart and repent before it is too late. Worship opens with The Old Rugged Cross and 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus and closes with You Are My All in All. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9Dji8Z_fu4c 3640 2025-06-23T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-6-15-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-06-16 2025-06-16 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/QIZfeWSfLgM/maxresdefault.jpg The Compromised Church of Pergamum Pastor Henry continues his series through Revelation with the letter to the church in Pergamum, the church that lived where Satan's throne was and held fast to the name of Jesus even when Antipas was martyred, yet tolerated idolatry and immorality within. His point: separation from the world is the mark of a true church, and Jesus calls a compromised people to repent before He comes with the sword of His mouth. This Father's Day service opens with "Grace That Is Greater" and "Victory in Jesus" and closes with "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior." A warm, plain-spoken study that ends with the Lord's Prayer together. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QIZfeWSfLgM 3795 2025-06-16T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-6-8-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-06-09 2025-06-09 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/1JJDp0-RNd0/maxresdefault.jpg Be Faithful Unto Death: The Church of Smyrna Pastor Henry continues his series in Revelation with the persecuted church of Smyrna, one of only two churches Christ does not rebuke. He teaches that just as myrrh must be crushed to release its fragrance, God allows believers to be crushed so they bear good fruit, and points to the martyr Polycarp as a model of being faithful unto death. The call is to stay faithful in small things now so that strength is there when bigger trials come, because to share Christ's suffering is to share his glory. The morning opens with two beloved hymns and closes on a tender invitation song. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1JJDp0-RNd0 3446 2025-06-09T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-6-1-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-06-02 2025-06-02 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Q9vxuaUAXh4/maxresdefault.jpg The Power of the Blood of Jesus Guest speaker Pastor Dan teaches on the power of the blood of Jesus, walking through Luke 23 to show that Jesus did not die from weakness but laid down his own life with authority, commanding his spirit to the Father. He shows that the shed blood of Jesus speaks mercy rather than revenge, washes us into new creatures, and covers and protects everyone who applies it to their life, closing with a call to be covered by that blood and an invitation to come forward. The service opens with The Lord Is My Light and Love Lifted Me, closes with Soon and Very Soon, and includes the presentation of baptism certificates. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q9vxuaUAXh4 3826 2025-06-02T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-5-25-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-05-26 2025-05-26 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/LSGlsb1XSC8/maxresdefault.jpg Return to Your First Love: The Letter to Ephesus This week Pastor Gennady continues his series in Revelation, finishing chapter one and turning to the letter to the church at Ephesus and its hard question: can you labor faithfully for God and still lose your first love? He shows how Jesus, the first and the last, walks among his people and praises their works, toil, and endurance, yet calls them to repent and let everything they do flow from love for Christ, because devotion matters more than doctrine. The morning opens with the hymns Great Is Thy Faithfulness and As the Deer and closes with Blessed Assurance. It ends with news of Allen's upcoming baptism and prayer for those who are sick. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LSGlsb1XSC8 3621 2025-05-26T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-5-18-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-05-19 2025-05-19 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/9L_jjCRXv6g/maxresdefault.jpg Following the Glorified Christ Pastor Gennady continues the church’s journey through Revelation, walking verse by verse through John’s vision of the glorified Christ in chapter 1 and the call to follow Jesus with an intentional, wholehearted life.

It is a teaching-rich Sunday that closes in worship and prayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9L_jjCRXv6g 3877 2025-05-19T16:00:00+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-5-11-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-05-12 2025-05-12 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/PxEqnVBSQ4g/maxresdefault.jpg God Looks at the Heart A visiting brother from the Tri Cities, Valentine, teaches that God does not look at outward appearance but at the heart, drawing on Samuel anointing David and the widow's two coins. He shows how Jesus lived out a gentle, humble, serving heart and calls everyone to lay down pride and serve one another. The morning includes congregational worship and a Mother's Day blessing over the church. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PxEqnVBSQ4g 2836 2025-05-12T04:00:56+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-5-04-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-05-05 2025-05-05 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/zqsXCAlaWX4/maxresdefault.jpg Revelation: Jesus Wins in the End Pastor Gennady opens a study through the book of Revelation, showing that it was written to be understood by ordinary people and that its message is simple: Jesus wins in the end, and those who endure in trusting him share that victory. He walks through the book's outline, explains how to read it rightly, and urges anyone living in sin to repent and come to Christ. The morning includes opening worship, a reading from Isaiah, and the hymn 'Yes, I Know,' and closes with prayer for a brother in need. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zqsXCAlaWX4 3427 2025-05-05T04:13:31+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-4-27-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-04-28 2025-04-28 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/dq24sFujiY4/maxresdefault.jpg Judas and the Danger of Hidden Sin Using the life of Judas, brother Tim warns that hidden, unrepented sin opens the door to the enemy and leads to destruction, while honest confession and repentance bring freedom through Christ's grace and mercy. The morning includes congregational hymns, a reading from John 11, and special piano music from two young performers, Esther and Robert. It is a searching, hopeful service that ends with a call to bring secret sin into the light. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dq24sFujiY4 3645 2025-04-28T04:13:45+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-4-20-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-04-21 2025-04-21 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/iA3gYTDPkIM/maxresdefault.jpg He Is Risen: Christ's Victory Over Death This Easter service centers on the resurrection of Christ, read straight from Scripture: the sealed tomb, the earthquake, the angel's announcement that he is risen, and the call to worship the King who conquered death. The congregation sings richly throughout, with Grace That Is Greater, Amazing Grace, and What a Lovely Name, and a recited poem retells the empty tomb. Short but full of praise, it is a celebration of the hope and new life the resurrection brings. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iA3gYTDPkIM 2313 2025-04-21T03:55:01+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-4-6-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-04-07 2025-04-07 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/wIlDvmishi8/maxresdefault.jpg Who Am I? Created in God's Image A visiting speaker, Jay Seager, takes up the question 'Who am I?' and answers it from the opening pages of Genesis: we are not cosmic accidents but people fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God, and our origin is what gives our lives their purpose. He walks through why the Bible can be trusted from its very first chapter, the staggering wonder packed into a single strand of human DNA, and how the way we answer this question shapes everything else. The morning opens with familiar hymns of trust and praise and closes with announcements, prayer requests, and an invitation to an afternoon baptism. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wIlDvmishi8 3489 2025-04-07T04:07:10+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-3-30-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-03-31 2025-03-31 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/e9XvzB3OWHY/maxresdefault.jpg Your Hearts in the Refiner's Hands Brother Vlad continues his series with part two of “Your Hearts in the Refiner’s Hands,” walking through four ways God shapes us in hardship: the thorn that keeps us humble, the refiner’s fire that purifies, the loving discipline of a Father, and the call to draw near to God before the crisis comes. He grounds each in Scripture, from Paul’s thorn in 2 Corinthians to the refiner’s fire in Malachi and the discipline of Hebrews 12, and points to one steady promise: God is committed to making us look like Jesus. The morning opens with congregational worship and a special song from brother Mark, and closes with prayer over the needs of the church. https://www.youtube.com/embed/e9XvzB3OWHY 3658 2025-03-31T04:14:21+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-3-23-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-03-24 2025-03-24 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/tYEfSwJzKZo/maxresdefault.jpg Your Heart in the Refiner's Hands Brother Vlad opens a two-part series, “Your Heart in the Refiner’s Hands,” teaching that real spiritual growth comes not from religious rule-keeping but from letting God transform the heart, renew the mind, and discipline the body through the power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing on Psalm 51, Romans 12, and Paul’s picture of the athlete in 1 Corinthians 9, he offers practical, everyday steps for each area and contrasts genuine transformation with empty legalism. The service opens with two songs of worship and closes with “I Surrender All,” a time of prayer for the congregation’s needs, and word of an upcoming baptism. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tYEfSwJzKZo 2538 2025-03-24T04:03:16+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-3-16-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-03-17 2025-03-17 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/gaPVZfkPQVY/maxresdefault.jpg By His Wounds We Are Healed This service is given to prayer for healing. The leader turns to Acts 3 and the account of Peter and the lame man to show that healing comes by God’s power and not by any person, shares the testimony of a woman once in a wheelchair who now walks again, and invites people forward to be prayed over one by one. The congregation sings He Touched Me and the brothers share What a Friend We Have in Jesus, Scriptures on God’s healing are read to strengthen faith, and a man named Mike gives his life to Christ before the closing song and prayers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/gaPVZfkPQVY 3079 2025-03-17T03:59:05+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-3-02-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-03-03 2025-03-03 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/z3qTPE6rBL4/maxresdefault.jpg Be Doers of the Word, Not Just Hearers This week’s message walks through James 1 with a call to be doers of the word and not just hearers, using the image of a man who looks polished but tracks mud everywhere he goes to ask what is really in our hearts.

He calls the church to invest in their spiritual life through prayer and the Word, and lifts up Jesus as the perfect gift who washes us clean and gives eternal life. The morning is framed by congregational worship, opening with “He Will Hold Me Fast” and “Come Thou Fount” and closing with “Are You Washed in the Blood” and “I’ll Fly Away,” and ends with prayer over the needs of the congregation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/siRHs5BLnUU 3051 2025-02-17T04:56:33+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-2-09-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-02-10 2025-02-10 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/heoWyi3h31M/maxresdefault.jpg Enduring Temptation: Flee and Pray In a message from James 1, the church looks at how to endure temptation.

The morning also holds two opening worship songs, a special song from brother Mark, and closes with “The Old Rugged Cross” and prayer for a brother in need. https://www.youtube.com/embed/heoWyi3h31M 3178 2025-02-10T05:04:32+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-2-02-25-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-02-03 2025-02-03 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/fSvw8N3aGXY/maxresdefault.jpg Storing Treasures in Heaven Continuing his series in the Book of James, Tim teaches from James 1:9-12 on where we place our hearts: the lowly brother can glory in his coming exaltation and the rich must hold their wealth loosely, because riches fade and our worth is never found in possessions. He calls everyone, poor or rich, to store up lasting treasure in heaven by serving God and others, which costs nothing. The morning also holds a testimony from Mike about answered prayer in a new job, special music from Daniel, congregational worship, and closing prayer for the needs of the church. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fSvw8N3aGXY 3412 2025-02-03T05:02:38+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-1-26-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-01-27 2025-01-27 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/s-HyxcUvxPk/maxresdefault.jpg The Flood That Really Happened A traveling guest speaker shares how he went from atheism and addiction to faith, then makes the case that Noah’s flood really happened and that the Bible can be trusted.

The morning opens with Draw Me Close to You and Jesus Paid It All and closes with How Great Thou Art, and the speaker even leads the room in a memorable song about the evidence. It is an encouraging look at why faith and the created world point to the same Creator. https://www.youtube.com/embed/s-HyxcUvxPk 3490 2025-01-27T05:08:51+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-1-19-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-01-20 2025-01-20 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/jJlf7PotfJA/maxresdefault.jpg Facing Trials with Patience and Wisdom Brother Tim continues the church’s study in James, teaching from James 1:2-8 on how to walk through trials. The heart of the message is simple: count trials as joy because they grow patience in us, and when we don’t know what to do, ask God for wisdom instead of leaning on our own understanding. Along the way the service holds two opening worship songs and a tender solo of “O Sacred Head Now Wounded,” and closes with prayer for several who are sick. It is a warm, practical morning for anyone carrying a hard season. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jJlf7PotfJA 3050 2025-01-20T04:56:58+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-1-12-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2025-01-13 2025-01-13 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Qp2iisg6P4k/maxresdefault.jpg Counting It Joy in Trials Brother Tim opens a series in the book of James on trials, teaching that hardship tests our faith and that real strength and wisdom come from turning to God rather than to people.

A member shares her own testimony of healing, and the congregation sings Amazing Grace, What a Lovely Name, and The Savior Is Waiting.

Working through verses 25–27, he makes the case that Christ’s death was not a senseless tragedy but a necessary, ordained, and glorious act: it atoned for sin, defeated the serpent, and opened the door to the greatest blessing, which is faith in the scriptures before seeing Jesus face to face.

The service opens with two beloved hymns and a spoken poem by Bella before the sermon, and closes with the invitation hymn “The Savior Is Waiting.” The overall feel is warm and grounded, a practical encouragement to shift focus from fleeting happiness to lasting joy in Christ. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kt4b7BHzQmg 2210 2024-08-26T03:42:07+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-8-18-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-08-19 2024-08-19 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/aHSWUS42Cnk/maxresdefault.jpg A Light at the End of the Tunnel This service centers on the hope of Revelation 21: a day when God will wipe away every tear, end all suffering and death, and dwell with his people forever.

The preacher draws on the story of Horatio Spafford and passages from John, Romans, and 1 Peter to show that suffering is part of a redemptive purpose bigger than any individual life. The congregation closes by singing 'Jesus Paid It All,' and the service ends with a blessing and an invitation to fellowship downstairs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/81rMAwWc48Q 3141 2024-08-05T04:08:37+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-7-28-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-07-29 2024-07-29 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/jALUcRIkm_E/maxresdefault.jpg God Is Love: Through Pain and Suffering Pastor Tim continues a series on God's love, addressing the hard question of why pain and suffering exist if God is truly loving. He traces the origin of suffering to the disobedience of Adam and Eve in Genesis, showing how sin introduced pain, toil, and death, while God responded again and again with patience, warning, and preaching before sending Jesus as the ultimate act of love. The service includes joyful congregational singing, a moving performance of 'Amazing Grace,' and closes with the Lord's Prayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jALUcRIkm_E 3157 2024-07-29T03:58:08+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-7-21-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-07-22 2024-07-22 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/XOxBUkoWBRc/maxresdefault.jpg Love Thy: God as the One True Love Pastor Tim opens a new series called 'Love Thy,' establishing that God alone is the source of all true love and that the world’s definitions of love fall short of the biblical standard. Drawing on 1 John 4:8, John 3:16, and Romans 5:8, he shows how God’s love is proved most fully in Christ dying for his enemies, and paints the entire Bible as a love story of God preparing a bride for his Son. The service includes two opening congregational hymns, a special group performance of 'To God Be the Glory,' and closes with 'Shine Jesus Shine.' https://www.youtube.com/embed/XOxBUkoWBRc 3067 2024-07-22T03:59:31+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-9-00am-mt-7-14-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-07-15 2024-07-15 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/KWOgyGorMn4/maxresdefault.jpg God’s Design: Creation vs. Secular Naturalism Guest presenter Jim Perkins delivers a detailed comparison of the biblical creation account and the secular Big Bang model, showing the logical and scientific gaps in secular naturalism and pointing to God as the only coherent eternal foundation.

The overall tone is warm and intellectually engaged, equipping believers to think clearly about faith and science. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KWOgyGorMn4 3465 2024-07-15T04:03:47+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-evening-service-5-00pm-mt-6-30-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-07-01 2024-07-01 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/OTEFyMbsgao/maxresdefault.jpg The Power of Speaking Life Brother Mike, a visiting pastor and counselor, delivers a message on the power and consequences of the words we speak, rooted in Proverbs 18:21 and James 3. He uses a memorable story about a pastor in Japan corrected by a friend for speaking unkindly about a colleague, and calls the church to accountability, wisdom, and heart renewal so that their words become a source of life, encouragement, and grace to others.

The pastor distinguishes knowing about God from knowing God personally, and calls the congregation to repentance, faith in Christ, and baptism. Special music by the ladies of the church and congregational worship round out a full and warmly devotional morning. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KMzTxUWI_vU 3638 2024-06-17T12:17:16+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-evening-service-5-00am-mt-6-9-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-06-10 2024-06-10 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Svo7DLkEmJw/maxresdefault.jpg Wake Up: The Essential Call to Prayer This service brings two sermons from different speakers. The first explores Matthew 5:14-16, calling believers to be lighthouses that guide lost people toward Christ rather than toward themselves. The longer main message opens Matthew 26:36-46 in Gethsemane, where Jesus found his disciples asleep three times, and calls the church to wake up spiritually and pray without ceasing so they stay connected to God and are not overtaken by temptation and the flesh. Worship includes “Give Thanks,” “I Worship You Almighty God,” “In Christ Alone,” and “The Old Rugged Cross.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/Svo7DLkEmJw 4467 2024-06-10T12:33:07+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-evening-service-5-00am-mt-5-26-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-05-27 2024-05-27 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/HYDfYvZkIic/maxresdefault.jpg The Living, Piercing Word of God Doug's sermon centers on Hebrews 4:12–13, exploring how God's word is living, powerful, and piercing—able to reach the innermost depths of the human heart. Drawing on Psalm 139, the parable of the sower, and passages from Deuteronomy and 1 John, he challenges the congregation to receive Scripture with open hearts rather than hardened ones. Earlier in the service, youth speaker Dmitri shared a message on the peace that comes from trusting God, illustrated through the story of David and Goliath. The evening included two opening hymns, a special poem, and a closing song of thanksgiving. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HYDfYvZkIic 3929 2024-05-27T12:17:47+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-evening-service-5-00am-mt-5-19-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-05-20 2024-05-20 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/pN-jGJG3AxY/maxresdefault.jpg Approved Before God: A Workman Unashamed This Pentecost Sunday service features two messages: Pastor Tim opens by teaching that the Holy Spirit is our daily life coach, training us to win spiritually, make right decisions, and not grieve God by growing cold. Doug then preaches from 2 Timothy 2:15, calling the congregation to be diligent workmen who present themselves approved before God, accurately handling the word of truth, walking in repentance, and doing all things for God’s glory. Worship throughout includes beloved hymns, and the service closes with the congregation singing “How Great Thou Art” and the Lord’s Prayer together. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pN-jGJG3AxY 4003 2024-05-20T12:11:56+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-evening-service-5-00am-mt-5-12-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-05-13 2024-05-13 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/2cKCvn-cHMI/maxresdefault.jpg Prepared as the Bride of Christ On Mother’s Day, Brother Peter delivers a sermon to the young people of Morning Star Christian Church on the reality that every believer is espoused to Christ as their true husband, drawing on 2 Corinthians 11:2 and Revelation 19. He calls the congregation to find their identity, joy, and confidence in Christ, to pursue purity in every area of life, and to see their time on earth as preparation for the marriage supper of the Lamb. The service includes congregational worship, a beautiful song performed by a group of ladies, and closes with “Amazing Grace.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/2cKCvn-cHMI 3126 2024-05-13T12:10:13+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-evening-service-5-00am-mt-5-5-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-05-06 2024-05-06 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/AyMAiZ_pIKc/maxresdefault.jpg Facing Giants: Overcoming Temptation Through Christ Two messages woven around the same theme: a first speaker opens with David and Goliath, showing that any giant we face falls before a God who has never lost a battle, and Pastor Tim follows with a frank, personal message on temptation from James 1:12, naming the unwise and the outright sinful as two kinds of giants that can quietly take over a life. Both speakers land on the same conclusion, that the only winning strength is Christ's. The service includes the congregational songs 'Open the Eyes of My Heart,' 'Still,' 'Jesus Paid It All,' and '10,000 Reasons,' and a program duet of 'Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me.' https://www.youtube.com/embed/AyMAiZ_pIKc 3558 2024-05-06T12:09:44+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-evening-service-5-00am-mt-4-28-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-04-29 2024-04-29 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/DM6b4hhXS94/maxresdefault.jpg Fight or Flight: What the Bible Says to Flee and What to Fight For This service centers on what the Bible calls believers to run from and what to stand and fight for. A guest speaker works through 1 Timothy 6, naming four things Scripture commands us to flee: the love of money, sexual immorality, idolatry, and youthful lusts. He then traces three things worth fighting for: personal faith, the faith of others through prayer and gospel witness, and unity within the church. Earlier in the service a brother delivers a shorter word on humility from Proverbs 22:4, showing through Nebuchadnezzar’s story that pride leads to a fall while humility yields riches, honor, and life. Worship includes ‘How Vast the Love,’ ‘Oh My Soul,’ ‘Lord I Offer My Life to You,’ a group’s performance of ‘I Know My Savior,’ and the closing ‘Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart.’ https://www.youtube.com/embed/DM6b4hhXS94 4820 2024-04-29T15:18:27+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-4-14-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-04-15 2024-04-15 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/QEIaQpQcZE4/maxresdefault.jpg Finding Fresh Strength at the Well A Great Commission Missionary School team from Portland, Oregon leads an evening service centered on the theme of drawing near to God for fresh strength. Students Dima and Lena share personal testimonies about learning to rely on God's grace rather than their own effort. The main message uses John 4 and the Samaritan woman at the well to call everyone who feels dry, burdened, or distant from God to come to Jesus for living water. An extended altar call closes the teaching, drawing the congregation into fervent corporate prayer for freedom and renewal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QEIaQpQcZE4 6419 2024-04-15T13:25:02+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-3-24-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-03-25 2024-03-25 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/3JSY1a1PzZ0/maxresdefault.jpg You Are the Light of the World Pastor Gennady teaches from Matthew 5:14–16 that Christ’s bold declaration “You are the light of the world” is a call for believers to live visibly and distinctly, drawing the lost toward God through their good works. Before the main sermon, brother Mike challenges the church to set aside internal division and theological debate in order to bring hope to a desperate and hurting world, grounding his appeal in the love commandment of John 13. The service includes two opening hymns, a congregational singing of “I Surrender All,” a beautifully recited poem by sister Emma, and closes with the congregation singing “Goodness of God.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/3JSY1a1PzZ0 4152 2024-03-25T12:19:12+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-3-17-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-03-18 2024-03-18 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Ri7m5s2oAqM/maxresdefault.jpg The High Cost of Serving Jesus Two preachers bring complementary messages on the high cost and privilege of serving Jesus. Pastor Tim draws from John 15 to explain why the world hates believers who stand apart from sin and calls the church to exalt righteousness rather than blend in. Brother Joel follows with Matthew 8, showing through the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law that God’s touch moves us from receivers into servants, and challenges every member to step out and reach someone for Christ. Congregational worship anchors the service, and a quartet offers a song of devotion between the two messages. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ri7m5s2oAqM 5245 2024-03-18T12:44:47+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-3-10-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-03-11 2024-03-11 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/N-xTwzoC7ug/maxresdefault.jpg God's Order, the Fall, and a Sustainable Faith Guest speaker Michael delivers an extended sermon tracing God's design from creation through the fall, the promise of Genesis 3:15, and the sweep of Old Testament history to the cross and resurrection, showing how Jesus fulfilled the very first gospel prophecy by crushing the serpent's head. Earlier in the service, a young member preaches a focused message on the danger of murmuring, using the Israelites in the wilderness as a warning. The service features four congregational songs and a special group performance of 'I Need Thee Every Hour.' https://www.youtube.com/embed/N-xTwzoC7ug 4841 2024-03-11T13:32:53+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-3-03-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-03-04 2024-03-04 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/7Smtlkmq_SE/maxresdefault.jpg Waiting on God and the Authority of His Word Brother Vlad opens the teaching with a sermon on waiting on God, tracing Joseph’s journey from slavery and prison to second in command in Egypt as a picture of patient, faith-filled trust in God’s timing. Brother Doug follows with a second teaching from 2 Timothy 3:16–4:5, urging the church to treat all of Scripture as God-breathed and authoritative, to memorize it, preach it even when unpopular, and hunger for it before the freedom to read it openly is taken away. The service includes two congregational worship sets and a special song by young soloists. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7Smtlkmq_SE 4224 2024-03-04T13:36:30+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-2-25-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-02-26 2024-02-26 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/LCAram5mtdI/maxresdefault.jpg Look Unto Jesus and Preach the Word Zach opens with a sermon from Hebrews 12:2 urging the church to fix its eyes on Jesus as the author and finisher of faith, drawing on Spurgeon's conversion and Peter walking on water to show what happens when believers look to Christ rather than to self or circumstance. Doug then delivers the first of a two-part series from 2 Timothy 3:16 through 4:4, making the case that the church has no choice but to become a Word church, a Bible church, a doctrinal church, because God breathed out every word of Scripture, commanded it to be preached, and the time is now. The service includes four congregational songs and closes with prayer requests and the Lord's Prayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LCAram5mtdI 4375 2024-02-26T13:24:18+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-2-18-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-02-19 2024-02-19 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/-TCTe-4A-cA/maxresdefault.jpg United Under God: One Nation in Christ This service features two sermons alongside rich congregational worship. Pastor Tim opens with a message on contentment, using the parable of a man who chased wealth while sitting on a gold mine, and calls the church to find full satisfaction in Christ alone rather than in the world’s fame, trends, or success. Pastor Gennady follows with a teaching on unity, tracing God’s judgment at Babel through to Christ’s prayer in John 17 and the commission in Matthew 28, showing that believers from every nation are called and empowered to be one people under God’s banner. Special music from the ladies of the church and a closing hymn frame a service marked by heartfelt worship and clear biblical teaching. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-TCTe-4A-cA 4494 2024-02-19T13:38:59+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-2-11-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-02-12 2024-02-12 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/K-471NJJiPA/maxresdefault.jpg The Unbroken Covenant: God’s Promise Through the Ages Two preachers share complementary messages about God’s relentless love and his unbreakable covenant. Mark opens with Hosea’s story of buying back an unfaithful wife as a picture of God pursuing each of us despite our sin and unworthiness. The second message traces the abrahamic covenant from Genesis through Paul’s letter to the Romans and Jeremiah’s prophecy, showing that God’s blessing over his people is irrevocable and that Gentile believers are grafted into that promise. The congregation also enjoys two opening worship songs, a special performance by a group of sisters, and closes with ‘The Power of Your Love.’ https://www.youtube.com/embed/K-471NJJiPA 4652 2024-02-12T13:35:27+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-2-04-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-02-05 2024-02-05 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/_oc8Z_WUshw/maxresdefault.jpg Growing in Grace and Knowledge Zach's sermon on 2 Peter 3:18 calls the congregation to honest self-examination about whether they are growing spiritually, exposing two distortions of grace and pointing to prayer, scripture, worship, and fellowship as the means of genuine sanctification. Dmitri opens the evening with a verse-by-verse walk through Proverbs 3, urging wisdom, trust in God, generosity, and Godly living. The congregation worships through three congregational songs, a classic hymn, and a special program song, and the service closes with prayer for a hospitalized brother and the Lord's Prayer together. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_oc8Z_WUshw 5272 2024-02-05T13:53:36+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-1-28-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-01-29 2024-01-29 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/EQjKHU6uf1o/maxresdefault.jpg Reaching the Lost: The Church's Call to Evangelize This service features two messages: Vlad shares a personal testimony about how business failures drove him to fully surrender his heart to God, preaching that a transformed heart means 100% commitment to Christ. Pastor Gennady then challenges the congregation with the church's duty to reach sinners, drawing on Jesus' example of sitting with tax collectors and urging every member to actively share their faith. The service also includes a brief Bible study announcement, a poem by Emma, and a tithing challenge rooted in 2 Corinthians 9. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EQjKHU6uf1o 3889 2024-01-29T13:23:03+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-1-21-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-01-22 2024-01-22 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/cZSkYixVIlI/maxresdefault.jpg A Firm Foundation in Christ This grand opening service features two sermons on building life on Christ as the unshakable foundation.

The congregation worships together through hymns and a duet, and the service closes with prayer and the Lord's Prayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cZSkYixVIlI 4076 2024-01-22T13:29:48+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-mt-1-14-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-01-15 2024-01-15 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/EXwZszmnczY/maxresdefault.jpg Cultivating Your Garden Two speakers bring messages on seeking God first in the new year. Vlad anchors the evening with a vivid garden illustration: the main goal of the Christian life is eternal life with God, achieved by loving God and loving your neighbor, and the weeds of distraction (social media, bad habits, wasted time) must be relentlessly removed so the true plant can grow. Dimitri opens with a shorter message on trusting God with your future, grounded in Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 16:9. Three worship songs frame the teaching, and the service closes with prayer for the sick and the Lord’s Prayer together. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EXwZszmnczY 2977 2024-01-15T13:06:49+00:00 yes no https://ms.church/watch/live-sunday-service-5-00pm-1-07-2024-morning-star-church-of-boise-2024-01-08 2024-01-08 yearly 0.6 https://img.youtube.com/vi/P-j9_1H4lRw/maxresdefault.jpg The Gospel Call: Born Again and Sent Out This inaugural English-language service at Morning Star Christian Church opens with two messages: a short welcome exhortation on reaching the lost, grounded in Mark 2:17, and then Pastor Gennady’s four-point sermon on the gospel, the new birth, and the Great Commission.
