Pastor Mike finishes up a two week study on what it means to have a Personal Relationship with Jesus, especially in the hectic season of Christmas. Week one, "What is a Personal Relationship with Jesus"? and today "How is it Developed"?. Most everything in life begins small and grows, relationships are no different. As we begin a new life with Jesus, there are many forces against this new relation...

This week Pastor Mike begins a short series on what it really means to have a "Personal Relationship" with Jesus. There are many "Christian-eze" words we use that may make sense to some but to the world they're meaningless. So when we speak of having a personal relationship with God, what is that? Especially as we near one of the busiest holidays of the year, we get so busy celebrating we forget w...

Pastor Mike teaches today on Water Baptism and what it means as an act of obedience following in the steps of Jesus. We discuss why it's important to be baptized in water, why it's important to be immersed as in being buried and then rising again to a new spiritual life. Being water baptized has a past, present and future tense meaning - I have chosen, I can identify, and I will be faithful... At...

Pastor Mike finally wraps up the messages on Life's Choices by discussing the most powerful force of the universe - being the power to choose. Even though this may seem in conflict with God being the most powerful force, He's the one that gave man the power to choose Him or reject Him. This is God's plan for how man can prove love for God is to ultimately have the Power not to choose God. This doe...

Pastor Mike continues the discussion on Life's Choices with what Jesus named as the "Greatest Choice" being LOVE. But what is love? What does it look like? How do we do love? What we discovered is love is more of a choice then an emotion. Certainly emotions are a part of love but true love blossoms when choice involved. Our emotions morph into a choice to commit to remain in love regardless of wha...

Pastor Mike continues with the challenges that come with our many choices in life when it comes to the questions that define us. These questions are many times morally neutral, yet extremely important as wise or foolish choices. These can be answered as good, better and best; the challenge given this morning is what do you want your life to be, good, better or best? You achieve best only by making...

Pastor Mike continues with the theme of life's many small choices and how they all equate to our character of who we are. This week, the focus is on beginning life with a long term goal in mind and the commitment to sacrifice the immediate pleasures of a short-term indulgence that would forfeit the long-term promise. The life of Esau is a good example of a man that was willing to sell his "birthri...

Pastor Mike continues down the discussion thread of - Life's Many Choices. Every choice and every word are significant even in the most minor detail, and that's gives us all a special purpose. Listen in to hear more about that and the meaning of our choices... The service opens with a special guest reciting a poem, titled "The Weary Hunter" written by Clarence Way, Pastor Mike's grandfather and re...

Pastor Mike begins a study on the thousands of choices that we make on a daily basis. Often we think the insignificant choices don't matter, yet when we realize that our big life choices are often a compilation of a host of minor choices we may begin to look differently at our daily choices. Today's message will help us makes the small choices which lead to big choices all based on God's Standard...

This week we are challenged in a multi-media message featuring Billy Graham's - My Hope for America. Pastor Mike applies the challenge to us all to be personal evangelists to the 'world' that we're all called to. This is one of those must hear messages because the call is so important and the time is so short. The video that is played and heard in this sermon can be viewed at http://myhopewithbill...

Celebrating Adoption Sunday by featuring a local family that adopted an infant from Guatemala. Moses was abandoned alone the river bank in rural Guatemala to die until found 2 days later by a farmer that took him to a local orphanage. Later, Toni and Rick Jakubowski's son Ricky became the director of the orphanage and hence Moses was introduced to Toni and Rick beginning a new life's journey. Mose...

Pastor Mike continues the discussion that began by declaring the Holiness of God, being set apart from all of His creation, and how He created man as Holy. Yet in a single act of disobedience, man gave up his Holy character and became enslaved to sin and to a new master, Satan. But God had a plan, thru Jesus so that once more by a single act of obedience, man can be Justified Holy to live a set ap...

Special Guest Pastor Ken Shelton gives an encouraging word to us in that we are seated at the right of the Father with Jesus. No matter how difficult life becomes, we're assigned a seat alongside Jesus our advocate and our provider. He is our source and our strength and He becomes all that we need so that we can enjoy life in the midst of it all. Listen in you will be blessed...

Pastor Mike continues the discussion of how a Holy God, set a part through His perfection and His justice, provides a path of justification for a sinful man. Mankind, though originally created perfect and Holy as in the image of God, freely gave legal ownership of himself to Satan as a result of sinning against God and thus cut himself off from communing with a Holy God. However, the story was not...

Pastor Mike is beginning a series discussing the only way a sinful man can have a relationship with a Holy God. This week we establish the absolute unequaled Holiness of God. He is so far above all that He created that there is no possible way we can begin to compare anything to Him. But yet, His love matches His Holiness for mankind that God, through the perfect life, painful death and resurrecti...

Pastor Mike discusses a mystery of how a perfect God chooses to use imperfect people to accomplish a perfect plan. Doesn't sound feasible albeit for the GRACE of God. God has a plan per Jeremiah 29:11 and his plan is for our welfare even with our imperfections. This is a promise for those that fear him. It's a promise that God will not back away from. God uses our imperfections to accomplish His p...

Pastor Mike and Chris spent the last 2 weeks visiting their daughter Aubrey in Kona, Hawaii who is staffing a Discipleship Training School (DTS) at the University of the Nations campus. This particular week was "Holy Spirit" week and we had the opportunity to share the power of the Holy Spirit with 90 young people readying themselves for ministry outreaches all over the world. During this amazing...

Guest Speaker and former pastor Ryp Hankins leads us into a discussion of the importance of intercessory prayer. Intercession on behalf of the body is biblical and an absolute requirement that will deliver the Church as a "spotless bride" to the bridegroom, being Christ, in the day that's coming soon. Come boldly before the throne of heaven with all kinds of prayers and requests and open the avenu...
