Anxiety can be something we all feel, and it's good to know the Bible gives guidance on what do when when feeling this emotion. Jesus clearly discusses this topic in his sermon and we cover that and more in the latest lesson of our Greatest Sermon Series.

In section three of our Greatest Sermon series, Jesus encourages all those who heard his sermon then and now to have right motives in their spiritual disciplines. Specifically in the areas of giving, prayer, fasting, and investing in treasures.

In section two of our Greatest Sermon Series, we see Jesus challenge the status quo of righteous living in his day. Jesus takes this opportunity to address the heart issue of many areas of every day life.

Jesus delivered his famous "Sermon on the Mount" at the height of his popularity. He used this opportunity to tell his listeners what the life of being His disciple would look like. In this first lesson of "The Greatest Sermon" series, we dive into Jesus' formula for a truly happy life and the effect of that happiness on others.

Holding a friend accountable can be intimidating and out of your comfort zone, but Scripture tells us, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend." In this lesson, we discuss the right approach, attitude, and timing when holding our friends accountable by delivering a biblical "wound." *Because of technical issues, the intro and outro were not included in this episode.*

We continue our "Verses You Forgot About" series with a brief lesson from I Corinthians 3. We should have the right perspectives of ourself and those around us realizing that God is the one in charge of fruit and results in our lives.

Pride is something we all struggle with. It is as the very root of all sin. In the second lesson of our summer series, Verses You Forgot About, we discuss how pride shows itself, the consequences of pride, and how to battle against pride in our lives.

In this first episode of our summer series, Verses You Forgot About, we cover the encouraging truth that Isaiah 55:8-9 gives us. We all have things in our life that we forgot about, but all the memories come back when someone brings it up. We have the same feelings with certain passages of Scripture. This series will cover well known verses and why they are essential to the Christian life.

There is nothing too difficult for our God, and His grace is amazing. We explore the omnipotence of God and his grace in this lesson of the Nature of God series.

In this lesson of The Nature of God series, we explore the love of God and His holiness. These attributes of God do not conflict, but are consistent with the biblical description of who God is!

God's wisdom is infinite and His faithfulness is constant. In the second lesson of our Nature of God series, we explore these two attributes of God and the implications they have on our daily lives.

How often do we stop and think about the true nature of God? If we were honest, we often have a view of God that has been promoted by culture or our own line of thinking. God, without needing to do so, has revealed so much of Himself in Scripture. This series dives deeper into the attributes of the God we serve, and this specific lesson centers around God's self-existence and self-sufficiency.

"The fastest way to kill something special is to compare it to something else." - Craig Groeschel We conclude our mental health series discussing the invisible enemy of comparison.

Statistics show that many college students because of pressure, responsibilities, trauma, and stress cope through methods of self-harm, and even have thoughts of taking their own life. So many around us, many times those we wouldn't think, are struggling quietly. In this lesson of our mental health series we explore some of the reasons for self-harm, coping, and suicidal tendencies, and what w...

All of us battle anxious thoughts and experience loneliness. This can be something we deal with sporadically or for some, daily. Thankfully, the Bible has a lot to say about these two areas that can help us experience the power and presence of God that gives us peace of mind through any situation.

Although we may feel alone when feeling insecure, struggling with insecurity is not uncommon. Some of the most confident people on the outside struggle the most with insecurity on the inside. In this stand alone lesson, we discuss how to battle different areas of insecurity with the truth of Scripture.

We should all desire to pursue God's will when it comes to our calling in life. Discerning this call takes prayer, time, surrender, and action. We explore this and more in the third lesson of our "Discerning God's Will" series.

How do you know if it's God's will for you to date someone or, more importantly, marry that person? Are you truly ready to date? If someone is a Christian, is it always ok to date them? We explore this and more in lesson two of our "Discerning God's Will" Series.

We are kicking off this Semester with a brand new series discussing the will of God. In lesson one, we focus on the formula for knowing God's will found in Romans 12:1-2 as well as other passages of Scripture that clearly tell us what God's will is. God's will is not distant, it's daily. This series will cover topics like dating, career paths, post-graduate plans, and choosing a ch...

James encouraged the early church to not let prejudice and favoritism be present in the assembly. We are all tempted to show favoritism based on external and material factors, but we are called to treat others with respect no matter what our perception is. There is a difference between preference and prejudice, and in this stand alone lesson, we explore that difference and more!

It's always good to be reminded of our calling as a follower of Jesus and the "why" behind what we do. This stand alone lesson describes the invitation and mission of our college ministry at Mikado, but more importantly, the mission of our life as a Christian.

In the final lesson of our Healthy Boundaries Series, we discuss the importance of boundaries in our standards. This includes modesty, social media, music, and entertainment.

All of us need to be aware of how we spend our money. Money can be a tremendous burden or blessing depending on what boundaries we have established in our life. Thankfully, Scripture deals directly with this issue in multiple places. In part 3 of our Healthy Boundaries Series, we discuss this and more!

We all make intentional decisions with how we spend each moment of our day. Learning to say "no" so we can say "yes" to what is best will help us maximize time for our priorities and personal rhythms.
