Pastor Mike speaks on the power of God's unconditional love and the great motivator that it is. This love is like God is, immeasurable, uncontainable, and unlimited in it's ability to motivate and fulfill our lives. How does one love God back - "conditionally" based on what God does for us or "unconditionally" like God loves us because He's God and we're His creation? This and other questions are...

Pastor Mike talks about how victorious Christian handles the adversity of life when it seems the hardest.

Jesus had opportunity to compromise His mission to become the perfect sinless sacrifice for our sin, and only through His deliberate action and intention of thr...

Pastor Mike concludes the series on Jesus Letters to the Seven Churches with this discussion on the church of Laodicea. This is a hard sermon to preach in a church that is striving to live a life pleasing to the Lord. Yet even so, it's the truth of God's Word and we need to proclaim it and apply it as it needs to be. Jesus always sees and declares what is truth, and He does so because He loves us...

Pastor Mike is continuing in the series of Jesus letters to the seven churches. This week we discuss the 2nd of two churches Jesus finds no rebuke with.

We find Jesus delighting in them as they are willing t...

Pastor Mike is continuing the study of Jesus's letters to the 7 churches. This week we speak about the church in Pergamos or Pergamum. Jesus sees that they do not renounce God even while living in the place where Satan lives, and yet there is a form of false teaching that is becoming prominent in their midst. This false teaching is in the form of a "stumbling block" as in the way of Balaam. As we...

These letters were given to the Apostle John while he was imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos around 95 AD.

We see in our discussion that they had a very simple choice to make that involved just...

Pastor Mike honors fathers today on Father's Day. The challenge for all men that aspire to be fathers is what is the "Legacy" they leave behind. There are many things in life that cannot be controlled, and being remembered after death is one of them - however, the man can influence HOW he's remembered. Is it good enough to be remembered just as a "good man" or is there more to it? What's the diffe...

Then God is able to work on our b...

Special speaker Janenne Pung inspires us with a wonderful Mother's Day message focusing on the power of "Words" in our lives.

God's Word is full of instruction and encouragement in how we speak into our own lives an...

Many questions are discussed and answers provided as we look into God's...

Pastor Mike asks a somewhat strange question: Is Heaven Really For You? Seems like a strange question to ask. Of course it is, why would you ask? Well, then lets take a look at our lives and see if we're preparing to be in Heaven. Until we understand more about Heaven, how can one say that it's where we want to spend eternity? So this week, we look at Heaven and then look at our lives and see how...
