Continuing our study through 1 Corinthians, Pastor Mike Jurek shares a practical and challenging message centered on one unforgettable truth: Love Notices. The gifts God has given us are designed to encourage, strengthen, and serve others. When we intentionally look beyond ourselves, we begin to reflect the compassion and heart of Christ in meaningful ways.
This sermon invites us to create a church culture where every person feels seen, welcomed, and valued. As we remember how faithfully Jesus notices us, we're challenged to extend that same love to those around us through our words, actions, and everyday interactions. It's a timely reminder that love doesn't simply exist. Love takes action.

In Part 5 of our 1 Corinthians series, Pastor Mike Stevens explores a simple but powerful principle: Love Notices. Spiritual gifts are meant to build up the body of Christ, not draw attention to ourselves. Whether in worship, fellowship, or serving others, we are called to notice the people around us, encourage them, and reflect the heart of Jesus in everything we do.
This message challenges us to move beyond simply attending church and begin intentionally seeing those who may feel overlooked, forgotten, or alone. As we follow Christ, love becomes more than a feeling. It becomes action that welcomes, values, and builds others up. Through the example of Jesus and the teaching of 1 Corinthians, discover how a life that truly notices others can transform both the church and our communities.

In Part 5 of our 1 Corinthians series, Pastor Daniel Stevens reminds us that genuine love pays attention. Spiritual gifts are wonderful blessings, but they are meant to strengthen others rather than elevate ourselves. This message encourages believers to use every gift, conversation, and opportunity to reflect the heart of Christ by caring for the people around them.
God notices every person, and His Church should do the same. From welcoming guests to encouraging fellow believers and serving with humility, this sermon challenges us to become people who intentionally see, value, and love others. Join us as we discover how living with the mindset that "Love Notices" can change our churches, relationships, and everyday lives.

This message highlights how every believer has value and purpose, reminding us that spiritual gifts are designed to strengthen the body of Christ, encourage fellow believers, and glorify Jesus above all else.

Be encouraged to discover how He wants to use your life for His Kingdom.

Pastor Mike Jurek continues our series in 1 Corinthians by exploring Paul's strong words about church discipline and the importance of protecting the body of Christ. This message reminds us that God calls His people to respond differently to those seeking restoration than to those who deliberately lead others into harm. Grace and truth always work together.
As we pursue a healthy and united church, we are challenged to forgive those who truly repent, establish wise boundaries where needed, and remain focused on God's mission. A church that walks in both love and integrity is a powerful witness to the world.

As Pastor Mike Stevens continues our journey through 1 Corinthians, we take a closer look at one of the Bible's most challenging passages. While Paul calls the church to confront unrepentant sin, the heart of the message is not condemnation but protection. There is a clear difference between broken people who need grace and wolves who seek to harm others. The church is called to love, restore, and forgive those who genuinely repent while also maintaining healthy boundaries that protect the body of Christ.
True unity isn't achieved by ignoring sin. It is built on integrity, truth, forgiveness, and a shared commitment to following Jesus. As believers encourage one another and speak the truth in love, the church becomes stronger, healthier, and better equipped to fulfill God's mission.

Join Pastor Daniel Stevens as we continue our study through 1 Corinthians and discover the balance between grace and accountability within the church. In this message, Paul reminds believers that while every broken person is welcome, the church must also guard against those who intentionally bring harm. God's desire is always restoration, but healthy boundaries are an important part of protecting His people.
This message challenges us to pursue unity that is rooted in truth, integrity, and genuine repentance. When the church extends forgiveness while remaining faithful to God's standards, it reflects both the love and holiness of Christ to the world.

In Part 2 of our 1 Corinthians series, Pastor Mike Stevens looks at the connection between spiritual maturity, humility, and unity. Paul makes it clear that constant quarreling and division are signs that believers still have room to grow. Pride pulls people apart, but humility helps bring the body of Christ together.
Rather than focusing on who is the most right, God calls us to live right, stay teachable, and work together for His mission. As we build our lives on the foundation of Jesus, we are called to value people, pursue unity, and live in a way that creates an eternal impact.

In Part 2 of our 1 Corinthians series, Pastor Mike Jurek challenges us to consider how pride and division can limit our spiritual growth. Paul teaches that fighting and quarreling among believers reveal spiritual immaturity, while humility and a willingness to learn help lead us toward greater unity.
The goal is not simply to win arguments or prove that we have the right answers. God calls us to live faithfully, build on the foundation of Christ, and unite around the mission of reaching people for Jesus. A humble, teachable life leaves an impact that lasts far beyond the debates and disagreements of today.

In Part 2 of our 1 Corinthians series, Pastor Daniel Stevens explores what true spiritual maturity looks like and why unity matters so deeply in the body of Christ. Paul points to quarreling and division as signs of spiritual immaturity, reminding us that pride leads to disunity while humility creates the foundation for unity.
God cares about more than simply proving who is right. He calls us to live right, walk humbly, remain teachable, and unite around the mission He has given us. When we build on the foundation of Christ with humility and love, our lives can make an eternal impact that stands the test of time.

As we begin our journey through 1 Corinthians, Pastor Daniel Stevens explores God's call for His Church to live in unity. While believers may have different personalities, preferences, and backgrounds, our identity is found in Christ, not in the groups or leaders we follow. The Church is strongest when it reflects the unity Jesus prayed for and works together as one body.
This message reminds us that division weakens our witness, but love and unity point people to Christ. Whether we differ in traditions, perspectives, or experiences, we are called to stand together around the gospel and remember that Jesus alone is the foundation of our faith.

In this opening message from the 1 Corinthians series, Pastor Mike Stevens shares how God's desire has always been for His people to walk in unity.

What does it really mean to "put up with others" in a Christlike way? In this message, Pastor Daniel Stevens reminds us that even the greatest heroes of the Bible faced conflict, disagreements, and difficult relationships. Instead of avoiding people or demanding our own way, we're called to follow Jesus' example by putting others first, refusing to judge, and choosing forgiveness.
Through powerful biblical examples, this sermon challenges us to reflect the heart of Christ in our relationships. As we learn to extend grace, show compassion, and forgive as we've been forgiven, we become a living testimony of God's love to those around us.

In this practical and encouraging message, Pastor Mike Newcomb reminds us that the Church is called to be united, even when we don't agree on every issue. Looking at Romans 14-15, he challenges us to stop allowing opinions over secondary matters to create division and instead focus on what truly matters: loving God and loving one another. When we put others ahead of ourselves and extend grace, we reflect the heart of Christ.
Rather than simply tolerating people, Jesus calls us to genuinely love and accept one another just as He has accepted us. This message encourages believers to let go of judgment, embrace unity, and create a church where everyone has the opportunity to encounter God's transforming love.

In this encouraging message, Pastor Mike Jurek explores what it means to truly put up with others by keeping the main thing the main thing. Looking at Romans 14-15, he reminds us that disagreements over secondary issues should never become barriers to unity in the body of Christ. Instead of judging one another, we're called to encourage, accept, and love others just as Jesus has loved us.
As followers of Christ, we are challenged to lay aside our preferences, extend grace, and make room for people who are growing in their faith. When we remember how much God has forgiven and accepted us, we can better reflect that same love to those around us. This message is a powerful reminder that the Church is strongest when we choose unity, humility, and Christlike love over division.

Pastor Mike Jurek delivers an encouraging message about overcoming life's spiritual battles by standing in the victory Christ has already provided. While believers continue to face temptation, struggles, and the attacks of the enemy, God's Word assures us that Jesus has defeated sin and Satan. Our role is to believe God's promises, walk in faith, and live out the victory that has been given to us.
Throughout this message, Pastor Mike challenges listeners to reject fear, resist the enemy's tactics, and grow in wisdom through a Spirit-led life.

Pastor Daniel Stevens teaches on what it means to fight from victory instead of fighting for victory. Through Christ's finished work on the cross, believers have been given authority over sin and the schemes of the enemy. Rather than living in defeat, Christians are called to stand on God's promises, walk in obedience, and trust in the victory Jesus has already secured.
This encouraging message highlights the importance of resisting the enemy's lies, embracing God's grace, and speaking faith-filled words over life's challenges. Pastor Daniel reminds us that spiritual victory comes as we submit ourselves to God, rely on His strength, and confidently declare His truth in every circumstance.

Pastor Mike Stevens shares a powerful message about living from the victory Christ has already won. While believers face two major enemies, the devil and their own sinful nature, Scripture reminds us that Jesus has defeated both through His death and resurrection. The challenge for Christians is not to earn victory, but to walk in it daily by submitting to God, resisting the enemy, and pursuing a life led by the Spirit.
This message explores the balance between legalism and cheap grace, showing how true wisdom and spiritual victory come through a growing relationship with Christ. Pastor Mike encourages believers to stand firm in God's promises, reject the lies of the enemy, and speak words of faith over every situation. No matter what battle you're facing, you can fight from a position of victory because Jesus has already won the battle.

Money touches nearly every area of life, and our relationship with it can either bring peace or create pain. Pastor Mike Stevens explores what it means to fully submit our financial lives to Christ, recognizing that money is not meant to master us, but to serve God's purposes. Through obedience, trust, and Spirit-led giving, believers can experience freedom from fear, covetousness, and unhealthy financial patterns.
This message reminds us that generosity is part of spiritual growth. As our faith matures, our giving matures as well. Whether through tithes, offerings, or acts of generosity, God calls us to seek His kingdom first and trust Him with every area of life, including our finances. When money serves God instead of ruling our hearts, we are better equipped to serve others and advance His kingdom.

Pastor Mike Jurek teaches that finances are not simply a practical matter but a spiritual one. God invites us to trust Him fully, including with our resources, and to allow our money to become a tool for His purposes rather than a source of anxiety or control. Healthy stewardship begins with obedience and grows through faith.
This encouraging message highlights how generosity strengthens both individuals and the church community. By placing God first and giving as He leads, believers can develop greater trust, overcome a scarcity mindset, and participate in the work of God's kingdom. When Christ is at the center of our finances, we discover lasting freedom and purpose.

In this message, Pastor Daniel Stevens shares how our approach to money reflects our trust in God. Financial stewardship is more than budgets and giving. It is about surrendering every area of life to Christ and allowing Him to shape our priorities. True freedom comes when we stop serving money and instead let God direct our hearts and decisions.
As believers grow in faith, generosity becomes a natural expression of spiritual maturity. Through Spirit-led giving, obedience, and trust, we learn to break free from fear and develop an outward focus that blesses others. God desires not only to meet our needs but also to transform our hearts as we seek His kingdom above all else.

In this message, Pastor Daniel Stevens wraps up The Full Armor of God series by highlighting Paul's request for prayer in Ephesians 6. Paul didn't ask for comfort or an easier path. He asked for God's words and the courage to speak them boldly. That same prayer remains essential for believers and church leaders today.
Pastor Daniel encourages us to strengthen our churches by supporting our pastors, serving faithfully, and growing in our own relationship with Christ. Together, we can stand firm against life's challenges, encourage future generations of leaders, and continue the mission God has called us to fulfill.

Teaching from Ephesians 6 and the life of Peter, this sermon highlights how the reality of salvation gives believers strength, boldness, and peace even during difficult seasons. Because Jesus conquered death, we can live with confidence and trust Him fully with our lives.
Pastor Mike Jurek also warns against putting hope in temporary things that eventually fail us.

Pastor Corey Pond unpacks the powerful meaning behind the Shield of Faith in Ephesians 6 and challenges us to move beyond simply believing in God to actively living out that belief. Faith isn’t just something we hold onto in theory, it’s something we take up daily through obedience, trust, and action. As we grow in God’s Word and apply it to our lives, our faith is strengthened and becomes a defense in the spiritual battles we all face.
This message reminds us that we may not avoid every challenge, but through God’s power, we can quench every fiery dart the enemy throws our way. Doubt, fear, anxiety, and discouragement don’t have to take us out. When we walk closely with God and stand firm in faith, we protect our hearts and remain strong. And when we stand together as the body of Christ, united in faith, we don’t just survive the battle, we advance.

In this message, Pastor Daniel Stevens continues the Full Armor of God series by exploring what it means to wear the Boots of Readiness described in Ephesians 6. After reviewing the Belt of Truth and the Breastplate of Righteousness, he emphasizes that readiness is about living a daily walk with God so that when the Holy Spirit prompts you to act, you are prepared to respond. A life of prayer, Scripture, and faithful service keeps believers spiritually prepared for the moments God places in front of them.
Pastor Daniel also points to examples in Scripture that show how readiness involves surrender. The rich young ruler wanted eternal life but was not willing to release what held his heart, while Peter was ready for a fight but not ready for Jesus’ path to the cross. True readiness means being willing to prioritize Jesus above everything else. When believers live with that kind of obedience and expectation, they position themselves to experience the life and purpose God has prepared for them.

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens continues the series The Full Armor of God by focusing on the Boots of Readiness from Ephesians 6. After recalling the Belt of Truth and the Breastplate of Righteousness, he explains that readiness means living with a heart prepared to respond whenever God calls. A believer who has their “boots on” is actively walking with God through prayer, Scripture, obedience, and participation in the life of the church so they are ready for the opportunities God places before them.
Pastor Mike shares how this readiness shaped his own journey into ministry and how ordinary faithfulness often leads to extraordinary calling. He also highlights biblical examples like the rich young ruler and Peter, showing that people can be motivated yet still not truly ready to surrender everything to Jesus. True readiness sometimes means giving up good things for God’s greater purpose. When believers live prepared to obey, serve, worship, and love others, the enemy loses his ability to disrupt God’s plan. The challenge is simple but powerful: put on the Boots of Readiness and be ready when God calls.

In this sermon, Pastor Mike Jurek continues the Full Armor of God series by teaching about the Boots of Readiness found in Ephesians 6. Building on the Belt of Truth and the Breastplate of Righteousness, he explains that readiness means living in constant expectation that God will lead you into opportunities to serve, love, and share your faith. When believers stay connected to God through prayer, Scripture, and obedience, they remain spiritually prepared for those moments.
Pastor Mike also reminds listeners that readiness requires surrender. Many people want the blessings of following Jesus but hesitate when obedience requires sacrifice or change. Through biblical examples and personal reflection, he challenges believers to live with their “boots on,” ready to act when God calls. When a church lives in that kind of readiness, it becomes unstoppable in fulfilling God’s mission.

In this message on The Full Armor of God: The Breastplate of Righteousness, Pastor Mike Jurek teaches from Ephesians 6 about guarding our hearts through righteous living. The breastplate of righteousness represents a life committed to doing what is right before God. It’s not only about avoiding sin but about actively choosing obedience and integrity in everyday decisions.
Pastor Mike Jurek reminds us that making excuses or ignoring conviction leaves us spiritually exposed. But when we seek the Lord, love His ways, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we grow stronger in faith and clarity. God calls us to keep learning, keep growing, and respond to His voice by doing the good we know to do, even when no one else sees.

In this message, The Full Armor of God: The Breastplate of Righteousness, Pastor Mike Stevens continues exploring Ephesians 6 and what it means to truly put on the armor of God. He reminds us that righteousness isn’t just about avoiding wrong choices, but about actively choosing what is right. The breastplate of righteousness protects our hearts when we commit to doing the right thing the first time, even when no one is watching.
Pastor Mike Stevens challenges believers to reject excuses and embrace a life of truth and obedience to God. When we twist the truth or justify wrongdoing, we leave ourselves spiritually vulnerable. But when we love God, follow His ways, and rely on the Holy Spirit, we grow stronger in faith day by day. God is patient and forgiving, and He calls us to keep growing, learning, and responding to His voice by doing the good we know we should do.

The breastplate of righteousness guards our hearts when we commit to doing what is right, not just when others are watching, but in the quiet moments when our character is truly tested.
Pastor Daniel Stevens encourages believers to stop making excuses and instead pursue a life shaped by truth and obedience to God. When we rely on the Holy Spirit and choose righteousness, we protect ourselves from the lies and temptations that try to pull us away from God’s will. As we grow in spiritual maturity, we learn to recognize what builds us up and what harms our walk with Christ, choosing daily to honor the Lord.

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens begins a new series on The Full Armor of God from Ephesians 6:10–20, focusing on the first piece of armor: the Belt of Truth. Scripture reminds us that we are in a spiritual battle, but God has provided protection so we can stand firm. Pastor Mike explains that “putting on” the armor of God is not just something we say or pray about, but something we live out daily through obedience and transformation in Christ. When we truly live out God’s truth, we are able to stand against the schemes of the enemy.
The Belt of Truth represents living a life rooted in honesty, integrity, and God’s Word. In a culture filled with half-truths, deception, and confusion, believers are called to love the truth, believe the truth, and walk in the truth. When we fail to do this, the enemy’s “flaming arrows” often come in the form of lies we begin to believe about ourselves, others, or even God. Pastor Mike challenges us to identify and reject those lies and instead embrace the truth that Jesus loves us and has a purpose for our lives. As we put on the Belt of Truth, we begin to build a strong foundation for the rest of the armor God gives us to stand firm in the battle.

Scripture teaches that believers are engaged in a spiritual battle, but God has not left us defenseless. Pastor Mike explains that putting on the armor of God goes beyond words. It means living out the transformation God has done in us and allowing His truth to guide every part of our lives.
The Belt of Truth reminds us that our spiritual stability begins with truth. When we believe and walk in God’s truth, we are able to resist the enemy’s lies and stand firm during difficult times. However, when we allow twisted truth or deception to influence our thinking, it opens the door for the enemy’s attacks. Pastor Mike encourages believers to examine their hearts, reject the lies they may be holding onto, and embrace the life-giving truth of Jesus. As we do, we grow stronger and more equipped to live faithfully in the spiritual battle.

In this teaching, Pastor Daniel Stevens launches a new series on The Full Armor of God from Ephesians 6:10–20, beginning with the Belt of Truth. The Bible makes it clear that believers face a real spiritual battle, but God has equipped us with the armor we need to stand strong. Pastor Daniel emphasizes that putting on the armor of God is not simply a symbolic act or a prayer we repeat. It means actively living in the new life Christ has given us and allowing His truth to shape our daily choices.
The Belt of Truth calls believers to become people who believe, speak, and live according to God’s truth. In a world full of distorted truth and deception, followers of Christ must remain grounded in what God says. When we fail to walk in truth, the enemy’s lies can take root in our hearts and minds. Pastor Daniel encourages us to recognize those lies, reject them, and instead hold firmly to the truth of God’s Word. When we live in truth, we gain stability and strength to stand against the enemy’s schemes.

On Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Mike Stevens reminds us that the empty tomb is the greatest moment in history. Jesus did not simply die on the cross. He rose again, conquering sin and death and offering eternal life to anyone who believes. Because of His sacrifice, we are invited into a restored relationship with God through faith. The message “Wake Up, Sleeper” challenges us to awaken our faith and recognize the incredible promise found in Christ.
Pastor Mike Stevens points to the words of Ephesians 5:14 and calls believers to step onto the narrow road that Jesus described. Following Christ means fixing our eyes on Him, throwing off the sin and distractions that slow us down, and running the race marked out for us with perseverance. God has a purpose for every life, and through His help we are destined to overcome. Resurrection Sunday is a call to stop delaying faith, fully trust in Jesus, and live the life He created us to live.

Jesus’ resurrection proves that sin and death have been defeated and that new life is available to everyone who believes. Through the cross, Jesus became the perfect sacrifice so that we could be brought back into God’s grace. This message invites listeners to wake up spiritually and embrace the life Christ offers.
Pastor Daniel Stevens challenges believers to respond to that truth by following Jesus wholeheartedly.

When we fix our eyes on Jesus and trust Him daily, we step into the destiny God prepared for us. With His strength, we can overcome life’s hardships and live faithfully for Him.

In Part 7 of We Walk by Faith, Pastor Mike Jurek reminds us that following Jesus means stepping into the fight of faith. Paul’s encouragement to Timothy shows us that even when confidence is lacking, calling still remains. Faith requires us to move forward, trust God’s voice, and engage with what He’s placed in front of us.
Through the example of the Israelites, we see how easily fear can hold us back from God’s promises. Caleb and Joshua stood firm in faith, while others allowed doubt to take over. That same choice is in front of us today. Will we shrink back, or will we step up? God has called each of us to shine, to trust Him, and to take action. It’s time to stop holding back and start living out the faith we’ve been given.

In Part 7 of We Walk by Faith, Pastor Mike Stevens challenges us to “fight the good fight of the faith.” Drawing from Paul’s encouragement to Timothy, we’re reminded that faith isn’t passive. It requires action, courage, and a willingness to trust God even when fear is loud. Just like Timothy, we may feel called but not confident, yet God invites us to step forward anyway and contend for what truly matters.
Looking at the Israelites on the edge of the Promised Land, we see a powerful contrast between walking by faith and walking by sight. While Caleb and Joshua trusted God’s promise, others gave in to fear and missed out on what God had prepared. The message is clear for us today: we are not meant to sit on the sidelines. God has called each of us to step up, trust Him fully, and take the shot. Faith means engaging the fight, speaking truth, and living boldly in what God has called us to do.

In Part 7 of We Walk by Faith, Pastor Celia Gauthier encourages us to actively “fight the good fight of the faith.” Through Paul’s words to Timothy, we see that faith is something we must pursue with intention. Even when we feel unsure or inadequate, God still calls us forward, reminding us that confidence comes from Him, not from ourselves.
The story of the Israelites at the Promised Land highlights the difference between fear and faith. Caleb and Joshua chose to believe God’s promise, while others focused on obstacles and backed away. That same tension exists in our lives today. We’re not called to observe from a distance, but to step into what God is asking of us. When we trust Him, speak faith, and move forward despite fear, we begin to live out the purpose He’s placed on our lives.

In this message, Pastor Mike Jurek continues the We Walk by Faith series with a teaching called “Eyes of Faith.” He explains that faith is needed both before and after a miracle. We need faith to believe God will answer our prayers, but we also need faith to recognize when He has already done it. Too often we explain away God’s work as coincidence instead of acknowledging His hand in our lives.
Pastor Mike Jurek reminds us that many divine moments happen in the middle of ordinary life. The Bible shows that God often speaks and moves in quiet and subtle ways rather than dramatic ones. When our lives are too fast and too full, we may miss those moments. By slowing down and becoming more aware of what God is doing, we can begin to see His presence in everyday situations.

In this message from the We Walk by Faith series, Pastor Mike Stevens shares “Eyes of Faith,” a reminder that faith is required not only before a miracle but also afterward. We often pray and believe God will work, but when the answer comes, it can be surprisingly easy to dismiss it as coincidence. Recognizing when God has answered prayer is a vital part of growing in faith.
Pastor Mike Stevens highlights how God frequently works through ordinary moments rather than spectacular displays. Throughout Scripture we see that God often moves in subtle ways, speaking quietly and guiding through everyday decisions. When life becomes rushed and noisy, those moments can pass by unnoticed. Learning to slow down and pay attention helps us see the divine at work in places we might otherwise overlook.

In this message, Pastor Daniel Stevens continues the We Walk by Faith series with “Eyes of Faith,” reminding us that faith is needed both before and after a miracle. We need faith before the miracle to believe God can move, but we also need faith afterward to recognize that He actually did. Sometimes we are tempted to explain answered prayers away as coincidence, but learning to recognize when God has moved is an important part of growing spiritually.
Pastor Daniel Stevens also teaches that many of God’s greatest moments happen in ordinary circumstances. From Abram’s journey to the quiet moments when God speaks, Scripture shows that the divine is often found in subtle ways rather than dramatic ones. When life is constantly busy, it becomes easy to miss what God is doing. Slowing down, paying attention, and keeping our eyes open allows us to notice the sacred moments God places right in the middle of everyday life.

In “We Walk by Faith // Part 5: Words of Faith,” Pastor Mike Stevens shares how faith grows when believers not only trust what God has spoken but also declare it with their words. The Christian life begins with faith and continues the same way. As we hear God’s promises in Scripture, we are called to believe them in our hearts and speak them with confidence, rather than allowing our circumstances to shape what we say.
Pastor Mike Stevens reminds us that our words carry great power. Scripture teaches that the tongue can guide the direction of our lives, which means what we speak can either strengthen faith or weaken it. By guarding our hearts and choosing words that agree with God’s promises, we position ourselves to live by faith and encourage those around us to do the same.

In this message from the We Walk by Faith series, Pastor Mike Jurek focuses on the importance of speaking words that align with faith. Faith begins with believing what God has said, but it is also expressed through the words we speak. When believers allow their speech to reflect God’s promises instead of their fears, they begin to strengthen the faith that is already in their hearts.
Pastor Mike Jurek encourages believers to guard their hearts and pay attention to the direction their words are taking them. Just as a small rudder steers a ship, our words can guide our lives toward faith or toward doubt. By speaking life, declaring God’s truth, and holding onto His promises, we grow stronger in faith and help point others toward hope in Christ.

In this message, “We Walk by Faith // Part 5: Words of Faith,” Pastor Daniel Stevens teaches that faith is not only about believing what God has said, but also about speaking in alignment with that belief. Scripture shows that faith begins in the heart and is expressed through our words. When we believe God’s promises, our speech should reflect that trust rather than what we see or feel in the moment. Speaking faith is a skill believers grow in as they learn to declare God’s truth instead of giving in to doubt or discouragement.
Pastor Daniel Stevens explains that our words have real influence over our lives and even our spiritual direction. Just as the tongue can steer a ship, the words we speak can steer our hearts toward faith or toward fear. When we guard our hearts, speak life, and declare what God has promised, we strengthen our faith and encourage others around us. Believers are called to speak words that build faith, call up hope, and align with the truth of God’s Word.

In Part 4 of the message series We Walk by Faith, Pastor Mike Jurek shares that faith grows the same way muscles do, through consistent exercise. Faith begins by believing what God says, and it continues to grow when we trust His promises even when circumstances do not make sense. Living by faith means choosing God’s truth over what our eyes may see in the moment.
Pastor Mike Jurek encourages believers to actively strengthen their faith. Hope stretches us toward what God has promised. Choosing to believe Scripture builds spiritual strength. Acting on what we believe allows faith to grow in real life. Even hardships can shape and strengthen our faith when we allow God to work through them. When we nourish our faith with God’s Word, prayer, fasting, and spiritual rest, we build the strength needed to endure life’s challenges and walk confidently with God.

In Part 4 of the We Walk by Faith series, Pastor Mike Stevens teaches that faith is something that grows stronger over time. Like a muscle, faith develops through use. The Christian life begins with believing what God has spoken, and it continues the same way. When we choose to trust God’s promises instead of relying only on what we can see, our faith begins to deepen and mature.
Pastor Mike Stevens highlights several ways faith is strengthened. Hope stretches our faith beyond what we currently see. Believing the truth of Scripture builds spiritual confidence. Taking action on what God says allows faith to move from belief into practice. Even trials and suffering can become powerful training that produces perseverance and hope. By feeding our faith through God’s Word, prayer, and spiritual discipline, we can be ready when difficult seasons come.

In Part 4 of the series We Walk by Faith, Pastor Daniel Stevens reminds us that faith is not just something we possess, it is something we develop. Just like a muscle, faith grows stronger when it is exercised. Scripture teaches that we walk by faith and not by sight, and that faith begins by believing what God has spoken. When we choose to trust God’s promises even when we cannot see the outcome, we begin strengthening our faith.
Pastor Daniel Stevens explains that faith grows through several spiritual practices. Confidence in what we hope for stretches our faith. Believing the truths we read in Scripture builds it. Acting on what God tells us moves faith from theory into practice. Even seasons of suffering can become spiritual training that produces perseverance and hope. As we nourish our faith through God’s Word, prayer, fasting, and spiritual rest, we become prepared to stand strong when life’s challenges come.

In Part 3 of We Walk by Faith, Pastor Mike Stevens brings us back to a foundational truth: What has God actually said? Faith is not wishful thinking. It is standing on the Word of God. Pastor Mike walks through powerful promises about provision, freedom from temptation, joy and peace, healing, spiritual victory, and God working through difficulty. Each promise reveals a partnership. We seek His Kingdom. We submit to God and resist the devil. We pray and humble ourselves. Then God does what only He can do.
Through personal stories and Scripture, Pastor Mike Stevens encourages us to believe God at His Word even when circumstances say otherwise. Trouble may come, but so does peace and overcoming power. God’s promises are alive and active. When He speaks, it is settled. This message will strengthen your faith and remind you that every promise rests on the finished work of Christ.

In Part 3 of We Walk by Faith, Pastor Mike Jurek calls us to anchor our lives in what God has spoken. Faith is more than inspiration. It is confidence in the unchanging Word of God. Pastor Mike explores promises about provision, freedom from sin, peace over anxiety, healing, national restoration, spiritual authority, and God’s ability to redeem even our darkest seasons. Each one invites us to respond in obedience and trust.
Pastor Mike Jurek reminds us that God’s Word accomplishes what He sends it to do. Even in hardship, God is working for good. Even in temptation, there is a way out. Even in trouble, we can stand firm. This message will challenge you to believe fully, walk boldly, and rest in the certainty that when God speaks, it is already accomplished.

In Part 3 of We Walk by Faith, Pastor Daniel Stevens challenges us with one powerful question: What did God say? If faith begins by believing what we heard, then it continues by standing firmly on what God has spoken in His Word. From provision in Matthew 6 to freedom in Christ, from peace in the Holy Spirit to strength in spiritual battles, Pastor Daniel reminds us that God’s promises come with both His part and ours. We seek first His Kingdom. We submit and resist. We humble ourselves and pray. And He moves.
This message walks through practical, real life faith for provision, freedom from temptation, mental health, healing, our nation, and even enduring hardship. God does not waste pain. He works all things for good. When He speaks, His Word is not empty. It accomplishes what He desires. Pastor Daniel Stevens calls us to live with bold confidence in every promise of God because if He said it, it is done.

In Part 2 of “We Walk by Faith,” Pastor Mike Jurek brings us back to a simple but life changing truth: the Christian life begins and continues by faith. We are not saved by performance, and we do not mature by sight. We grow by believing what God has spoken. From forgiveness to personal transformation, from marriage to freedom, faith is the pathway forward.
Pastor Mike Jurek highlights how God often speaks identity and promises over us before we ever see them come to pass. Just as Abraham received a new name before the promise was visible, we are called to trust God’s voice in the unseen places of our lives. Healing, breakthrough, and growth require courage to believe. Take time to ask the Lord where He is calling you to walk by faith, and choose to trust Him there.

In “We Walk by Faith – Part 2,” Pastor Daniel Stevens invites us to reflect on the foundation of our spiritual life. Salvation does not come through effort or rule keeping. It begins by believing the message of Christ. If our relationship with God starts by faith, then every next step forward must also be taken by faith. Hearing God’s Word is powerful, but transformation happens when we truly believe it.
Pastor Daniel Stevens points to the disciples asking for more faith and reminds us that even small faith can produce big results. Yet we are not meant to stay small. God calls us into new identities, new levels of obedience, and new trust long before we see visible evidence. Whether you are believing for healing, growth, freedom, or restoration, the invitation is clear: trust what God has said and walk it out. What is God speaking to you today?

In Part 2 of “We Walk by Faith,” Pastor Mike Newcomb challenges us to examine how we are truly living. Are we walking by faith or by sight? Our relationship with God begins by believing what we heard, not by earning it or striving through works. Faith is not just how we start our journey with Christ, it is how we continue it every single day. From salvation to forgiveness to personal growth, everything in the Christian life flows from believing God’s Word.
Pastor Mike Newcomb reminds us that even mustard seed faith can accomplish incredible things, but we are called to grow beyond that. Faith shapes our identity, just as Abram became Abraham by believing what God declared over him before he ever saw it fulfilled. Whether it is healing, freedom, restoration in marriage, or breakthrough in finances, the call is the same: believe Him when He speaks. Where is God asking you to walk by faith right now?

Pastor Mike Jurek opens the series We Walk by Faith by pointing us to 2 Corinthians 5:7 and the powerful truth that believers are called to live by faith, not by sight. Faith anchors us in the unseen reality of eternity and gives us confidence that God’s promises are true. Reflecting on Hebrews 11, Pastor Mike Jurek explains that faith means trusting in who God is and believing that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Turning to Ephesians 2:8–10, Pastor Mike Jurek reminds us that salvation is a gracious gift that must be received through faith. It is not earned, but it must be embraced. Beyond salvation, we are created intentionally by God for good works prepared in advance. Living by faith moves us from simply believing to actively stepping into the purpose God has designed for us, trusting Him to renew us and lead us forward.

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens launches the new series We Walk by Faith, grounded in 2 Corinthians 5:7, reminding us that there are two ways to live: by sight or by faith. Faith means trusting in what we cannot yet see, especially the promise of eternal life and the assurance that to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord. Drawing from Hebrews 11, he explains that faith is confidence in the unseen and belief that God both exists and rewards those who seek Him. Faith always has an object, and for believers, that object is God Himself.
Pastor Mike Stevens also unpacks Ephesians 2:8–10, showing that salvation is a gift of grace received through faith. Like a present waiting to be opened, the gift of salvation must be received. But we are not only saved from something, we are saved for something. We are God’s workmanship, created with purpose and prepared for good works in advance. When we live by faith, we step into both salvation and calling, trusting God to make us new so we can live out His vision to Reach Up, Rise Up, and Reach Out.

In this message, Pastor Daniel Stevens begins the series We Walk by Faith by challenging us to consider how we are living: by what we see or by what we believe. Centered on 2 Corinthians 5:7, he reminds us that faith gives us confidence in the promise of eternal life and the hope of being with the Lord. Through Hebrews 11, Pastor Daniel Stevens highlights that faith is assurance in what we cannot see and trust that God rewards those who seek Him wholeheartedly.
Looking at Ephesians 2:8–10, Pastor Daniel Stevens emphasizes that salvation is a gift of grace, freely given and received by faith. Like a gift waiting to be accepted, it becomes ours when we believe. Yet salvation is only the beginning. We are God’s handiwork, created with intention and purpose. God has already prepared meaningful works for us to walk in. Living by faith means embracing both the gift of salvation and the calling God has placed on our lives.

In this sermon, Pastor Daniel Stevens unpacks two powerful biblical principles that are essential for strong relationships: love and respect. He explains that these values are meant for every relationship we navigate, not just marriage. Scripture shows us that loving others and honoring them well is a defining mark of following Jesus, even when it feels difficult or countercultural.
Pastor Daniel Stevens then applies these truths to marriage, highlighting how God places a special emphasis on love and respect in different ways. When relationships feel off balance, adding more love and more respect can change everything. The message ultimately challenges us to evaluate our relationship with Jesus, not just as Savior, but as Lord, trusting His guidance and allowing His love to shape how we live and love others.

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens shares two biblical keys that shape healthy relationships: love and respect. Drawing from Scripture, he reminds us that these principles are not limited to marriage or dating but apply to every relationship we have. Jesus calls us to love others sacrificially and to honor one another with genuine respect, even when it goes against our natural instincts. When love and respect are practiced consistently, they have the power to transform families, friendships, and communities.
Pastor Mike Stevens also explores how love and respect function within marriage, emphasizing that both are needed by both people, but often in different ways. Husbands are called to love like Christ loves, and wives are called to show honor and respect, all within a framework of mutual submission to God. When relationships are strained, the answer is not less love or respect, but more. Ultimately, this teaching points us back to our relationship with Jesus as both Lord and Savior, calling us to trust Him fully and live out His example.

Pastor Mike Jurek teaches on the biblical foundation of love and respect as essential keys to thriving relationships. This message makes it clear that these principles extend beyond marriage and speak to how we treat everyone around us. Jesus calls His followers to love deeply and honor sincerely, setting a higher standard for how believers engage with others.
Pastor Mike Jurek also walks through how love and respect uniquely strengthen marriage when practiced intentionally. When expectations fall short or challenges arise, choosing to respond with greater love and respect can bring healing and growth. The message closes by pointing us back to Jesus as both Lord and Savior, inviting us to fully trust Him, submit to His leadership, and receive His grace as we grow in faith.

In this message, Pastor Celia Gauthier, guest pastor at our Alborn location, leads us through Psalm 119 as the final chapter in the Unlocking the Psalms series. This psalm highlights what it looks like to be a joyful disciple, someone who loves God’s commands, learns His ways, and lives them out with perseverance. It shows how obedience to God’s Word brings wisdom, stability, and deeper connection with Him.
The psalmist also reminds us that following God does not mean a life without difficulty. There are trials, opposition, and moments of correction, yet God uses all of it to shape and refine us. As we share in Holy Communion, we celebrate the grace of Jesus that frees us from condemnation and calls us to faithfulness no matter what comes our way. This message encourages us to remain committed, humble, and rooted in God’s truth.

This powerful psalm reveals the heart of a true disciple, someone who loves God’s Word, meditates on it, and lives it out with joy and obedience.

Psalm 90 shows Moses wrestling with human frailty while trusting in God’s eternal nature. Even in wandering and waiting, God remains near, offering wisdom and calling His people to live each day with purpose and faith.
As the message moves into Psalms 105 and 106, we see a clear picture of God’s steadfast love and covenant faithfulness. Despite Israel’s unfaithfulness, God continues to rescue, restore, and invite His people into praise. Pastor Celia reminds us that the Psalms teach us how to respond to God’s goodness, worship Him publicly, and remain faithful through every storm we face.

This message highlights God’s faithfulness to His covenant, even when His people struggle with gratitude or obedience.

In Unlocking the Psalms Part 3, Pastor Celia Gauthier walks through Book 3 of the Psalms and highlights the powerful role of lament in our faith. These psalms remind us that God invites honesty. It is okay to express sorrow, doubt, and deep emotion, because lament often becomes the pathway that leads us back to hope. When we allow ourselves to process despair instead of avoiding it, we make room for God to meet us there.
Pastor Celia Gauthier also challenges us to guard our hearts against bitterness and to stay near to God in seasons of difficulty. Worship becomes a key practice, not because circumstances are easy, but because worship helps us remember who God is and what He has already done. As we remember His faithfulness, even in hard times, our hearts are renewed and anchored in hope.

In this teaching from Unlocking the Psalms, Pastor Daniel Stevens walks through Book 2 of Psalms, a section focused on deliverance. The Psalms are not meant to simply inform us, but to shape our faith, helping us experience God’s presence in moments of pain, confusion, and worship.
Looking closely at Psalm 44 and Psalm 51, Pastor Daniel explains two kinds of deliverance. Psalm 44 encourages perseverance and trust when suffering feels undeserved, while Psalm 51 models sincere repentance when sin is the cause of our brokenness. Whether facing hardship from the world or consequences of our own choices, God invites us to come to Him with honesty and humility.

In this message, Pastor Mike Jurek unpacks Book 2 of Psalms as part of the Unlocking the Psalms series, emphasizing the theme of deliverance. The Psalms help believers internalize truth, reminding us that God sees injustice, understands our failures, and desires a real relationship with us.
Through Psalm 44, Pastor Mike Jurek shows how God calls His people to stay faithful during unjust suffering. Through Psalm 51, he points to God’s mercy when repentance comes from a truly broken heart. These passages reveal that deliverance may come from external hardship or internal sin, but God responds to sincere faith and genuine repentance.

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens continues the Unlocking the Psalms series by exploring Book 2, which centers on the theme of deliverance. Rather than offering information alone, the Psalms move truth from our heads to our hearts. They remind us that God understands our pain, sees our struggles, and invites us to bring every emotion to Him in prayer and worship.
Pastor Mike highlights Psalm 44 and Psalm 51 as two powerful examples of deliverance. Psalm 44 speaks to unjust suffering, calling believers to remain faithful even when God feels distant. Psalm 51 addresses personal failure, showing that true repentance requires a broken and humble heart rather than empty religious actions. Together, these Psalms remind us that God brings deliverance both from the brokenness of the world and from our own sin.

In this message from Unlocking the Psalms Part 1, Pastor Daniel Stevens introduces the Book of Psalms as more than poetry or songs, but as a pathway into deeper relationship with God. He emphasizes that reading Scripture is not just learning information, but spending intentional time with God in conversation. Drawing from Psalm 1, Pastor Daniel shows how grounding our lives in God’s Word leads to blessing, stability, and spiritual growth.
The message also explores how the Psalms shape our worship and prayer life. Pastor Daniel reminds us that worship is directed to God alone and that expressing praise strengthens our connection with Him. Through the Psalms, we also learn how to pray with focus and authenticity, allowing our thoughts and words to align before God. The message concludes by pointing to messianic Psalms that reveal Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice, inviting us to reflect on His love as we respond in communion.

In Unlocking the Psalms Part 1, Pastor Mike Jurek offers a foundational look at the Book of Psalms and why it plays such a vital role in the life of a believer. He encourages us to read the Psalms not as a routine task, but as a meaningful exchange with God Himself. Through passages like Psalm 1, Pastor Mike explains how meditating on God’s Word day and night keeps us spiritually healthy, rooted, and growing.
Pastor Mike also shares how the Psalms deepen both worship and prayer. Singing and praising God is shown as an expression of love that strengthens our relationship with Him, regardless of musical ability. In prayer, the Psalms help guide our hearts so that our thoughts and words remain aligned with God’s presence. The message closes by reflecting on messianic Psalms that point to Jesus’ sacrifice, reminding us that through Christ, we are invited into a restored relationship with God.

In Unlocking the Psalms Part 1, Pastor Mike Stevens walks us through a big picture overview of the Book of Psalms, focusing on why these writings matter so deeply in our everyday faith. Rather than approaching Scripture like a textbook, Pastor Mike reminds us that reading the Psalms is an invitation into a real, living conversation with God. Rooted in passages like Psalm 1, we see how meditating on God’s Word helps us stay spiritually nourished and firmly planted instead of withering under life’s pressures.
Pastor Mike also highlights how the Psalms expand our capacity to worship and pray. Worship is not about performing for others but about expressing love directly to God, just as praise deepens any meaningful relationship. The Psalms also teach us how to pray with sincerity, aligning the words of our mouth with the meditation of our heart. As the message closes, we are pointed to messianic Psalms that reveal Jesus’ sacrifice, reminding us that through Him, we can truly know and draw near to God.

In this teaching, Pastor Mike Jurek continues the Vision Series by focusing on Core Value #4: There Should Be a Spirit-Filled, Life-Giving Church in Every Community. He points out that Core Values 1–3 take root when vibrant, Spirit-filled churches exist—churches that share the gospel, develop believers, and create communities where no one walks alone.
Pastor Mike Jurek shows how the Jerusalem church enjoys an incredible season, but God’s mission reaches far beyond one place. When they stay comfortable, the gospel still spreads because God moves them outward. We stand in that same moment now. When we pray, serve, give, invite, and embrace the role God has for each of us, the church becomes united and the mission becomes unstoppable.

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens continues our What Are We Doing? Vision Series by teaching on Core Value #4: There Should Be a Spirit-Filled, Life-Giving Church in Every Community. He shows how Core Values 1–3—sharing the gospel, growing in faith, and walking together—only come to life when healthy, Spirit-led churches are planted and strengthened everywhere.
Pastor Mike highlights the tension the early church feels in Jerusalem. They enjoy an amazing, thriving community, but God is calling them to go after the one. Even persecution pushes the mission forward and reminds them of God’s heart to seek and save the lost. That same tension exists for us today. When each believer chooses to pray, serve, give, invite, and take action, we unite around the Great Commission and truly row together.

Today, Pastor Daniel Stevens leads us through Core Value #4: There Should Be a Spirit-Filled, Life-Giving Church in Every Community as part of the Vision Series. He explains how the early believers naturally build and multiply churches because they live out the first three core values—everyone hearing the gospel, believers taking responsibility for their growth, and Christians supporting one another.
Pastor Daniel describes how the Jerusalem church experiences something incredible, yet God continues calling them outward. When they stay comfortable, circumstances push them back into mission. We face the same choice today: remain settled or carry God’s heart for the one who needs Jesus. When we cheer others on, step into our calling, and partner together through prayer, serving, giving, and inviting, the mission moves forward and lives change.

Pastor Daniel Stevens continues our “What Are We Doing?” vision series with Core Value 3: There should be no lonely Christians. The message challenges us to invest in each other — to be good friends, quick to forgive, and ready to show grace. When we give more than we take in our relationships, we reflect the love of Christ and strengthen His Church.
True community isn’t about events or programs; it’s about hearts transformed by God’s love. Let’s choose connection over isolation, and allow the Holy Spirit to renew how we relate to others.

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens shares about one of the core values of our church: There should be no lonely Christians. Following Jesus means learning to give more than we take in our relationships — showing kindness, forgiveness, and genuine friendship. When we all “row together” with love and grace, the Church becomes what God intended it to be: a family that reflects His heart to the world.
We’re reminded that fellowship isn’t about programs or Sunday services — it’s about living out God’s love daily, being good friends, and forgiving one another as Christ forgave us. Let’s let the Holy Spirit renew our hearts and help us build strong, life-giving relationships.

Pastor Mike reminds us that spiritual growth is both personal and communal. Each believer must take responsibility for their own development while the Church comes alongside to equip, encourage, and strengthen one another. Like a team training together, we “row” in unity toward the vision of Matthew 16:18 — seeing God’s Kingdom built through a healthy, thriving church family.
We’re called to grow strong in faith, to help others do the same, and to build a community where everyone advances together in Christ.

He reminds us that personal growth in Christ is our responsibility, but we’re not meant to do it alone.

As we grow stronger individually and as a community, we become the kind of Church Jesus spoke of in Matthew 16:18 — one that the gates of hell cannot overcome.
Let’s commit to spiritual strength, unity, and revival together!

Through Scripture, Pastor Mike explains that entering the narrow gate begins with two simple but life-changing steps: repent and follow Jesus. This is more than religion — it’s relationship, transformation, and mission. Let’s rise up and live out the vision to Reach Up, Rise Up, and Reach Out together.

When it comes to hearing from God, sometimes the biggest barrier isn’t noise, confusion, or distraction — it’s simply that we don’t want to hear what He has to say. Pastor Mike Stevens explores the story of Jonah and the rich young ruler, both of whom heard from God but didn’t want to follow through. Through these examples, we’re reminded that obedience takes courage, and true freedom comes when we trust that God’s way is always better than our own.
Don’t let fear or stubbornness hold you back from what God wants to do in your life. Step forward with courage, faith, and love for others — even the ones that are hardest to love.

Sometimes the hardest part about hearing from God is being willing to listen when He challenges us. In this week’s message, Pastor Mike Newcomb (Guest Pastor at our Cloquet Location) shares how Jonah and the rich young ruler both resisted God’s direction — one out of hate, the other out of comfort. But God’s love and purpose always lead us toward life and blessing when we’re brave enough to follow.
It’s time to let go of fear and excuses and lean into God’s voice. His plan is always good — even when it’s uncomfortable.

Choose courage over comfort and faith over fear — because God’s plan for you is always worth hearing.

Sometimes hearing God’s voice feels confusing, and we worry about getting it wrong. But the Bible shows us that mistakes are part of the journey of learning. In this message, Pastor Celia Gauthier highlights three common errors: missing part of what God is saying, misinterpreting His direction because of love, and letting negative emotions twist His words.
Through examples from Scripture, we see the importance of staying close to God in prayer, seeking His wisdom, and keeping our hearts clear so that we can hear His voice more fully.

Pastor Mike Jurek shares how even biblical leaders struggled with this, sometimes getting it only partly right or letting personal feelings affect their interpretation.

In this week’s message, Pastor Daniel Stevens encourages us to take practical steps to quiet the noise.

In Hearing from God: Part 3 – Your Conscience, Pastor Daniel Stevens explores how God often speaks through the inward witness of our conscience. While outward signs may seem easier, relying on the Spirit’s quiet leading builds stronger faith. When our spirit and the Holy Spirit align, we sense God’s direction and live with confidence.
Pastor Daniel shares how the Bible warns against weak, corrupt, or seared consciences that can mislead us, and shows how Jesus restores our hearts to hear clearly again. Through Him, we are freed to live with integrity and to walk closely with God.

In Hearing from God: Part 3 – Your Conscience, Guest Speaker, Pastor Mike Newcomb teaches how our conscience acts as an inward witness of the Holy Spirit. Unlike seeking constant outward signs, learning to recognize God’s still small voice within brings clarity and direction. A conscience aligned with the Spirit transforms us from the inside out, helping us move beyond rules into true relationship.
Pastor Mike also explains the dangers of ignoring our conscience—whether it becomes weak, corrupt, or even seared—and how Jesus restores us to a clear conscience so we can walk in freedom and faithfully serve God.

Hearing from God begins with Scripture as the foundation, but it doesn’t stop there. In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens unpacks the next step: learning spiritual discernment. God created us as spiritual beings, and through the Holy Spirit, we can commune directly with Him. Hearing His voice isn’t about straining. It’s about recognizing His presence within us.
Pastor Mike explains that the things of God are spiritually discerned, not just understood with our minds. As we grow in maturity, our spirits become more capable of receiving what God wants to reveal. Just as a child can’t grasp advanced lessons until they grow, we too must nourish and develop our spirits to better understand His voice.

In this teaching, Pastor Daniel Stevens emphasizes that hearing from God requires more than head knowledge. It calls for spiritual discernment. The Bible gives us the foundation, but the Holy Spirit enables us to truly grasp the things of God. We aren’t just bodies and minds; we are spirits, and through the Spirit of God, we can draw closer to Him than any human relationship allows.
Pastor Daniel reminds us that spiritual truths can’t be fully understood with intellect alone. As we grow in our walk with God, our spiritual maturity allows us to receive deeper truths. God speaks to those who are ready to hear, and our job is to keep growing, listening, and discerning His voice.

Pastor Mike Jurek shares that hearing from God is rooted in the Bible, but it flourishes through spiritual discernment. As spiritual beings, we are invited to commune daily with the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. This closeness to God means His thoughts and guidance are never far away. It’s up to us to tune in.
He also highlights that the deeper things of God are spiritually discerned, not simply figured out with our minds. Growth in the Spirit takes time, nourishment, and practice, much like developing strength or wisdom in life. As we grow, God reveals more of His truth, leading us into a closer walk with Him.

In this message, Pastor Mike Jurek shares that the Bible is the key foundation for hearing God’s voice. God isn’t silent—He’s already spoken through His Word. As we read Scripture, we become familiar with the way He speaks, making it easier to recognize His leading in our daily lives. The Bible also equips us to stand strong against deception and discern what truly comes from Him.
Set aside time today to read and reflect on God’s Word—try Ephesians 3:14–21—and allow His Spirit to guide your thoughts.

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens teaches that hearing from God begins with His Word. God has already spoken to us through Scripture, and when we read it, we learn to recognize His voice. Just like recognizing an author after reading their books, the more familiar we are with the Bible, the easier it is to discern God’s guidance. Without Scripture, we risk being deceived by other voices, but with it, we find clarity, direction, and strength.
Take time today to pause on a passage—like Ephesians 3:14–21—and let God speak to you through it.

In this teaching, Pastor Daniel Stevens reminds us that God still speaks, but the foundation for hearing His voice is His Word. The Bible is our guide, shaping our ability to recognize when God speaks and protecting us from deception. Just as you’d recognize the voice of an author after reading all their works, Scripture trains our ears to know the Shepherd’s voice.
Take a moment to slow down with the Word—read, reflect, and let God’s truth sink deep into your heart.

In Growing with God Part 14, Pastor Daniel Stevens reminds us that true spiritual maturity isn’t just about what we know, but how we live out our faith daily. Using the story of Israel’s journey, he points out that trust and obedience are what actually carry us into God’s promises. Growth takes place when we remain rooted in Christ, allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, and choose faith even when it’s uncomfortable.
Pastor Daniel encourages us not to settle for surface-level faith but to embrace God’s refining process—because every step of obedience moves us closer to His plan for our lives.

In this powerful Memorial Day weekend message, Pastor Mike Stevens opens our eyes to the unseen war being fought over our identity, security, and emotions. Drawing from 2 Corinthians, Luke, Matthew, and 2 Chronicles, he reminds us that spiritual warfare is real, but God has equipped us with divine weapons — prayer, Scripture, and community.
Through stories like the Apostle Paul’s struggles and the temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness, we learn that even heroes of the faith wrestled with insecurity and emotional weight. But we also discover how to respond: by listening to God's voice over the enemy’s lies, standing on God’s Word, and leaning on our brothers and sisters in Christ. Now is the time to rise, pray bold prayers, and fight the good fight — not in fear, but in faith.

In “The Road Ahead,” Pastor Corey Pond casts a bold, clear vision for navigating life’s narrow path with unwavering faith. Drawing from Matthew 7:13–14, he challenges us to choose the road less traveled—one that leads to life, though it is often difficult and demanding. With Hebrews 11:1 and 11:6, he reminds us that faith is our foundation, calling us to trust God even when the future feels uncertain.
This message also speaks powerfully to the heart, offering hope and healing through scriptures like Psalm 34:18 and 147:3. Pastor Corey urges us to let go of what lies behind (Isaiah 43:18–19), forgive as we’ve been forgiven (Matthew 6:14–15), and encourage one another in community (Hebrews 10:24–25). God isn’t done with us—Philippians 1:6 promises that what He started, He will complete. The road ahead may be hard, but it’s filled with promise, purpose, and divine presence.

In this heartfelt and transformative message, Pastor Mike Jurek unpacks God’s original design for marriage as a sacred covenant, not just a contract. Drawing from Ephesians 5:22-33, he shows how the relationship between husband and wife is a mirror of Christ’s love for the Church—a love marked by sacrifice, service, and mutual respect. Pastor Mike challenges us to lead with intentionality and grace, laying down pride and selfishness in favor of love that elevates the other.
Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between, this sermon offers timeless wisdom and practical steps to build relationships that are healthy, Christ-centered, and deeply fulfilling. From praying together to growing spiritually as a couple, Pastor Mike invites us to reflect God’s love in everything we do—because anything worth having is worth investing in.

In this powerful message, Pastor Daniel Stevens dives into the transformative moment in history when the Holy Spirit ignited the birth of the Church.

The message of redemption is central to the New Testament—Jesus came to fulfill God’s plan of salvation, paying the price for humanity’s sins. Pastor Daniel Stevens explores key events, from John the Baptist’s call to repentance to Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and resurrection. Through Christ, God’s Kingdom is revealed, offering freedom, grace, and a path to redemption for all.
Jesus didn’t come to condemn but to seek and save the lost. His mission was to transform hearts, moving beyond rules to a faith rooted in love and understanding. As we remember His sacrifice through Holy Communion, we embrace the true meaning of redemption—our sins aren’t just forgiven, but fully paid for. Let’s walk in that freedom and share this powerful truth!

"The Road to Redemption" is a powerful sermon series exploring God’s plan for salvation, and this is just the beginning! In Part 1, we focus on John the Baptist, the messenger sent to prepare the way for Jesus. His message was urgent and clear: Repent!—turn your heart back to God—and Be Baptized! as a public sign of transformation. John lived outside the norms of society, yet he was deeply in tune with God’s Spirit, calling people to genuine faith rather than empty religion.
John’s mission wasn’t about himself but about pointing people to Jesus. His message still speaks to us today—revival begins with repentance. As we dive into this series, let’s examine our own hearts. Are we ready for the Lord? Are we willing to turn from distractions and truly follow Jesus? If so, let’s take action—seeking deeper faith, embracing baptism, and preparing the way for what God wants to do in our lives. Stay tuned for the rest of this series as we journey through God’s plan of redemption!

Pastor Mike Newcomb's sermon challenges the idea that God "needs" our money. Instead, Jesus desires our hearts, calling us to surrender every aspect of our lives—including our finances. Many people struggle with "Spiritual Compartment Syndrome," where they give Christ their afterlife but resist giving Him control over their thought life, time, and money. However, true spiritual formation begins with Christ in us, shaping our thinking and ultimately transforming our behavior. When we embrace this, financial stewardship becomes an act of worship rather than obligation.
Biblical principles show that honoring God with our finances brings His grace and favor, making generosity a win-win for both the giver and the church. At Good Hope Church, "Spirit-Led Giving" encourages believers to seek God's guidance rather than feel pressured. The goal is not just to fund a church but to shift from a consumer mindset to a commitment to the cause of Christ. Ultimately, God doesn’t need our money—He desires our hearts.

When life throws unexpected pain our way, it can shake our faith. “Lord, I love You, so why did that happen?” Scripture is full of both miraculous rescues and tragic losses. The reality is, while we are not promised a life without suffering, we are promised that Jesus will walk with us through it. The key is to move from asking “Why?” to “What now?”—trusting that God can bring growth, healing, and redemption from our trials. Like Mary and Martha, we may struggle when God doesn’t act as we expect, but the end of this life is not the end of the story for those who trust in Jesus.
Embracing grief is a necessary step toward healing, just as the Bible shows us. But eventually, faith must be added to our pain so that suffering leads to perseverance, character, and hope. Paul reminds us in Philippians that to live is Christ and to die is gain—either way, we are called to stand firm in faith. If you’re in a season of heartache, may you find peace, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose in the Lord.

Feeling burned out in your faith? You're not alone. In I Love You, Lord, But… I’m Burned Out, Pastor Daniel dives into the struggles believers face when spiritual exhaustion sets in. Through powerful scriptures like Matthew 11:28-30, Isaiah 40:28-31, and Romans 12:21, we’re reminded that God doesn’t want us stuck in burnout—He offers renewal and strength.
Looking at Jesus’ life, we see how He avoided burnout: engaging in meaningful work, prioritizing rest, and handling divine interruptions with grace. By following His example, we can refill our spiritual tanks and walk in God’s promises. Don’t let burnout hold you back—step into faith, take action, and experience true renewal.

In I Love You Lord, But I’m Busy!, Pastor Daniel Stevens challenges believers to examine how busyness impacts their relationship with Jesus. Drawing from the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13), he highlights how worldly distractions—whether harmful habits, idle gossip, or even well-meaning commitments—can choke out spiritual growth. Pastor Daniel encourages replacing bad habits with godly practices, reminding us that even "good busy" can become a stumbling block if it crowds out time with Jesus. "If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy!"
This message is a call to prioritize God amidst life’s demands. Pastor Daniel urges us to trade busyness for godliness, embrace contentment through Christ, and remember that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Don’t miss out on the better life God has for you by being too busy for Him!

In I Love You Lord, But… Part 1, Pastor Mike Stevens challenges believers to examine the "buts" that hinder full surrender to God. Many fear that saying "yes" to God means giving up comfort, control, or even moving to Africa! But Jesus’ call to "Follow Me" is both a great challenge and an even greater promise. Through powerful scriptures like Matthew 10:38-39 and Luke 9:23-24, Pastor Mike reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just take—He gives a new and improved life now and eternal life to come.
The message also distinguishes between truly following Jesus and being burdened by toxic religion. Bad religion destroys, but Jesus leads to life! Like Peter, who jumped out of the boat too soon (John 21), we must learn to follow God's timing. In the end, God’s expectations are not unreasonable—He calls us to trust Him, and whatever He asks will ultimately be worth it. If He does call you to Africa, you’ll love Africa!

Pastor Daniel Stevens’ sermon emphasizes God’s plan for growth and expansion in our faith and communities. Reflecting on Philippians 1:3-6, he highlights how the Apostle Paul’s journey mirrors our calling to believe for “more to come.” Pastor Stevens reiterates Good Hope Church's vision—“Reach Up, Rise Up, Reach Out”—and explores Core Value #4: fostering Spirit-filled, life-giving churches in every community. This aligns with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) and the transformative power of Acts 1:8. Churches must not become stagnant or toxic but instead embrace their role in spreading hope.
He encourages believers to adopt a “YES until no” attitude, prioritize God’s long-term plan over personal attachments, and identify their unique role in advancing this mission—whether through going, giving, praying, or staying. Sacrifices, like Jesus leaving Heaven for humanity, are necessary but eternally rewarding. Together, we can empower the faithful to embrace the value of reaching the “one” while strengthening the “99.”

In this inspiring message from Pastor Daniel Stevens, we reflect on God’s plans and the core values of Good Hope Church, emphasizing that there’s always more to come! Drawing from Philippians 1:3-6, Pastor Daniel reminds us that just as Paul believed God had more in store for the Philippians, we too can trust that God has greater things ahead for us in 2025.
The sermon focuses on one key value: Everyone should have a chance to hear the Gospel. This call to action is rooted in Christ’s mission on Earth and passed on to believers through scriptures like Matthew 28:18-20. Pastor Daniel highlights that God’s justice and love meet through the Cross, offering redemption to all. He challenges us to reflect: Is this the message you need to hear today? Are you ready to go from an enemy of God to a follower of Jesus? For those already following Christ, it’s time to embrace the mission and ensure that no one is left without the light of the Gospel.

2024 was a monumental year for Good Hope Church, but Pastor Daniel believes 2025 holds even greater promise—"More To Come!" Reflecting on Philippians 1:3-6, the Apostle Paul’s message to Philippi inspires us to celebrate past victories and trust that God’s work is far from finished. From life-changing moments like Lydia's conversion to the miracles in a Philippian jail, we see how perseverance and faith open the door to God’s transformative power.
Good Hope Church’s journey mirrors this message. From its humble beginnings in 2010 to launching multiple campuses in 2024, the vision to "Reach Up, Rise Up, Reach Out" continues to drive its mission. With new challenges come greater opportunities, and just like Paul’s encouragement to Philippi, we’re reminded: God’s plans for you are still unfolding.
Join us in believing there’s "More To Come" for your life and our world!

He invites us to step out from the shadows of religion and false saviors into a real, transformative relationship with God. Let’s stop “looking for a Savior in all the wrong places” and celebrate the hope and favor we have in Jesus.

In this heartfelt message, Pastor Daniel Stevens shares how thankfulness is a powerful force that transforms our lives. Drawing inspiration from Matthew 14, he reflects on Jesus’ miraculous provision of feeding the 5,000, even in a moment of personal grief and scarcity. Pastor Daniel reminds us that thankfulness isn’t just a reaction to blessings—it’s a catalyst for them. Rooted in scripture like 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and Colossians 2:6-7, this message encourages us to give thanks both in anticipation of God’s provision and after experiencing His grace.
Whether in life’s trials or triumphs, gratitude shifts our perspective and invites God’s blessings. Let’s embrace thankfulness as a lifestyle, choosing to be grateful in every circumstance and reflecting on Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for us.

In this week’s installment of Your Sacred Journey, Pastor Daniel Stevens dives into the essence of godliness, defining it as true Christ-like living—not just outward actions, but genuine transformation from within. Using 2 Peter 1:3-7 and passages like Luke 6:43-45, Pastor Daniel unpacks how the fruits of godliness flow from a vibrant relationship with God, much like love flows naturally in a healthy marriage. This isn't about checking boxes or “fake” godliness; it’s about nurturing the Spirit’s tree within us to bear fruit like compassion, humility, and grace.
If you’re feeling stuck or distant from true godliness, Pastor Daniel encourages us to “fertilize” our faith by revisiting the basics: faith, goodness, knowledge, perseverance, and self-control. The journey starts with cultivating a deep, authentic connection with Christ—because godliness isn’t something we do; it’s who we become.
Scriptures referenced: 2 Peter 1:3-7, Luke 6:43-45, James 2:14-26

In Your Sacred Journey, Part 5, Pastor Kayla Stevens shares a powerful message about perseverance in our walk with Christ, using 2 Peter 1:3-9 as a foundation. He explains that our spiritual journey has stages: the initial steps create something beautiful, the next stages protect it, and the final stages reveal its fruits. Pastor Kayla encourages believers to stay the course even when the journey feels tough, looking beyond immediate challenges to a heavenly reward. Drawing on verses from James, Hebrews, and Timothy, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining a "heavenly perspective" by keeping our eyes on the finish line—eternity with Christ.
Pastor Kayla also warns about persevering in the wrong way, using the church in Ephesus as an example from Revelation 2:1-5. While the Ephesians held fast in action, they lost the love they had at first, demonstrating the importance of persevering with both heart and action. He concludes with Paul’s example from 2 Timothy, urging us to finish strong in faith and love.

In Pastor Mike Newcomb's sermon "Your Sacred Journey: Part 4," he emphasizes the importance of self-control within a Christian's spiritual progression. Drawing from 2 Peter 1:3-11, he explains that while self-control is often seen as an initial requirement, its true power lies in maintaining and protecting one's faith after foundational virtues like goodness and knowledge are established. He illustrates this through the story of Joseph from Genesis, highlighting how self-control in different contexts—whether through words, resisting temptation, or managing anger—plays a crucial role in a believer’s journey.

He assures listeners with James 1:19-20 and 1 Corinthians 10:13 that through God's divine power, escape from temptation and sustaining righteousness is possible. The sermon concludes with encouragement to seek divine strength and protect what is spiritually beautiful.

In Your Sacred Journey Part 3, Pastor Daniel explores the importance of building spiritual knowledge as a next step in our walk with God. Drawing from 2 Peter 1:5-9, he outlines how faith, when acted upon, deepens into true knowledge—knowledge that isn't just intellectual but heart-centered. Pastor Daniel contrasts learning life's lessons the "easy way" (through others' experiences) with the "hard way" (our own trials) and emphasizes that true understanding arises not from religious arguments but from living out God’s teachings in love, forgiveness, and humility. Referencing scriptures like 1 Timothy 1:5 and James 1:22, he encourages applying faith actively to grow closer to God and find freedom in following His word.
Pastor Daniel closes by inviting reflection on Christ's love, highlighting the importance of remembering His sacrifice and extending that grace to others.

Pastor Daniel Stevens' sermon on the Ten Plagues dives into the story of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, showing how God’s plan unfolds even when it’s not immediately apparent. Drawing from Exodus, the sermon illustrates how God can be working on prayers before we realize it. Pastor Daniel emphasizes the importance of trusting in God’s promises, even when circumstances seem bleak, like when Pharaoh continues to harden his heart despite the plagues.
The message highlights key lessons: God's patience shouldn't be abused, the enemy’s counterfeits pale compared to God’s miracles, and God's protection is unwavering. Pastor Daniel also points out that following Christ requires both wisdom and resilience, encouraging believers to run to God when their faith is challenged, rather than away.

Her story speaks of redemption and the hope that no matter where we’ve been, God’s grace is greater.

n Part 4 of the Good Hope Vision series, Pastor Daniel Stevens focuses on the importance of dreams, goals, and kingdom strategies. He emphasizes that while the mission from Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 12:28-31 remains constant, the strategies must evolve. Pastor Daniel encourages empowering believers to take action by giving them meaningful tasks, investing in ministries that resonate with them, and supporting multi-site ministries, like those at Good Hope Church. He underscores the need for collective efforts, drawing from Exodus 17:8-13, where Moses, Aaron, and Hur work together to help Joshua win the battle—showing that everyone plays a role in advancing God’s Kingdom.
Pastor Daniel challenges listeners to set both faith-based outcome goals (e.g., being a better father, helping others find Christ) and practical input goals (e.g., daily prayer, intentional acts of love). He likens this to abiding in Christ as seen in John 15:5, where small, consistent actions lead to fruitful outcomes. The key to growth, he argues, lies in receiving more of Christ and the Holy Spirit into our lives.

In Part 4 of the Good Hope Vision series, Pastor Mike Stevens focuses on the importance of dreams, goals, and kingdom strategies. He emphasizes that while the mission from Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 12:28-31 remains constant, the strategies must evolve.

In this second part of the Good Hope Vision series, Pastor Daniel Stevens emphasizes the transformative power of a real relationship with God, urging believers to "Rise Up." Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:17, he explains that true faith should result in visible spiritual growth, much like how physical training leads to improvement. Just as a year at the gym without progress would be frustrating, a year walking with God without change makes no sense. Believers are called to be different, embodying Christ-like behavior daily, which not only improves their own lives but has the power to change the world.
Pastor Daniel shares three key points to help followers rise into the person God created them to be: (1) See God as a Father who lovingly disciplines, (2) Be intentional about spiritual growth, and (3) Learn from life's pains and challenges. With scriptures like Ephesians 4:22-24 and James 1:2-4, he encourages listeners to shed the old self and embrace their new identity in Christ. The message closes with a call to take off negative traits such as anger and fear and put on virtues like love, grace, and faith.

In this sermon, Pastor Mike Jurek delves into the story of Esther, highlighting the challenges she faced in the powerful kingdom of the Medes and Persians. Despite being a young Jewish woman in a precarious position, Esther rose to become queen and was pivotal in saving her people from annihilation. The sermon emphasizes how Esther, guided by wisdom and courage, exemplifies the "Spirit Led Life," making crucial decisions that aligned with God’s plan. Pastor Mike also contrasts the brutal reality of the Old Covenant, where justice often meant vengeance, with the New Covenant brought by Jesus, where forgiveness and grace prevail. He encourages us to embrace this spirit-led approach in their lives, allowing wisdom and the Holy Spirit to guide their actions toward love and forgiveness.

In Part 10 of "The Spirit Led Life," Pastor Mike Stevens delves into the lives of Stephen and Phillip, two early church leaders introduced in Acts 6. He emphasizes that great things often start small, as seen when Stephen and Phillip began by solving a seemingly minor issue in the church, which later became pivotal in spreading the Gospel. Stephen's journey highlights the courage and wisdom that come from living a Spirit-led life, even in the face of intense persecution. In contrast, Phillip's path shows how the Holy Spirit can guide us to unexpected places, leading to revival and transformation. Though their lives took different turns, both men exemplified the extraordinary adventures that await those who follow God's leading.

In Part 9 of the "Spirit Led Life" series, Pastor Daniel Stevens delves into the story of Job, a prosperous man from the time between Abraham and Moses. Despite his righteousness and wealth, Job faces intense trials when Satan challenges his faithfulness to God.
Pastor Daniel emphasizes that Job's story teaches us key lessons: the goodness of God versus the schemes of the Devil, the importance of resisting Satan, and the need for forgiveness and faith in the face of suffering. Even when well-meaning people say hurtful things, Job’s example shows the power of prayer and restoration.
Pastor Daniel concludes with a powerful reminder to equip ourselves with the full armor of God, as outlined in Ephesians 6:11-20, to withstand the "day of evil" and live empowered by God's Spirit.

In his sermon "The Spirit Led Life – Part 8: Prosperity," Pastor Daniel Stevens discusses an alternative to a life driven by selfish pleasure or dead religion, presenting the "Spirit-led life" as the "third option." Referencing Mark 8:35 and the story of the Rich Young Man from Mark 10:24-31, Pastor Stevens highlights the balance between living for this life and the next. He emphasizes that while sacrifice is necessary, serving Jesus offers profound benefits in the present, including fulfillment and a sense of community.
Pastor Daniel also explores the concept of prosperity, discussing the importance of laying down material possessions and embracing a life of faith, as exemplified by Hebrews 11:6. He speaks to the current generation's quest for purpose, noting that material indulgence doesn't equate to happiness. Concluding with 1 Timothy 6:6-12, Pastor Daniel invites the audience to embark on the adventure of a devoted life for Christ, finding joy and purpose in the present while anticipating eternal rewards.

In Pastor Daniel Stevens' sermon "The Spirit Led Life: Part 7 - Kingdom Mindset," he emphasizes the importance of adopting a mindset focused on God's Kingdom. He contrasts the often seen options of selfish pleasure-seeking and dead religion, advocating instead for a Spirit-led life. This mindset, exemplified by Jesus in Luke 22:42 and illustrated through Acts 2:42-47, transforms how believers see and interact with the world, urging them to share God's love and plan of redemption.
Pastor Daniel challenges the congregation to move beyond judgmental, consumerist, and complacent attitudes, instead embracing a Kingdom Mindset that prioritizes evangelism and abundant life in Christ. He stresses that having this mindset means believing in the reality of Heaven and the role each believer plays in bringing God's good news to others. Concluding with a call to live a life of victory in Christ, he prepares the audience for next week's topic on prosperity.

In Part 6: Surrender, Pastor Daniel Stevens dives into the concept of fully surrendering to God as the foundation for living a Spirit-led life. He references Acts 5:40-42 to highlight the unwavering commitment of the apostles despite persecution, contrasting it with the likely reaction of modern American Christians. Pastor Daniel emphasizes that true surrender means being led by God's will rather than personal desires or societal pressures. He also introduces a mini-series within the sermon series, focusing on "Surrender," "Kingdom Mindset," and "Prosperity," in that specific order.
Using the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17-23, Pastor Daniel illustrates the difference between a consumer mindset and genuine surrender. He challenges believers to embrace the teachings of Mark 8:34-36, underscoring that true freedom and joy come from surrendering to Christ. Citing Paul the Apostle's example in Philippians 3:4-14, he demonstrates that giving up worldly gains for the sake of Christ leads to greater, eternal rewards. Pastor Daniel concludes by urging the congregation to pray for the faith to surrender, just as Jesus did in Luke 22:42.

In Part 5 of Pastor Daniel Stevens' series, he emphasizes the church's vision statement: Reach Up, Rise Up, Reach Out. He explains that a genuine relationship with God is transformative and calls for action. Referencing John 15:1-8, Pastor Daniel discusses the importance of remaining in Christ, noting that while breakthroughs are significant, maintaining a daily connection through abiding is crucial. He urges believers to actively seek God daily, improving their listening skills in prayer and finding personal ways to connect with God.
Pastor Daniel provides four common ways to connect with God: reading the Bible, praying, worshipping, and serving. He encourages finding individual methods within these practices, such as pairing Bible reading with coffee or listening to an audio Bible while running. Pastor Daniel also addresses potential blocks in connecting with God, like bitterness, chronic sin, and apathy, and shares personal anecdotes to illustrate overcoming these barriers. Ultimately, he stresses the importance of consistently working on one's relationship with God to experience true spiritual growth.

In Part 4 of his series "Spirit Led Life" Pastor Daniel Stevens explores why some Christians risk their lives for the Bible while others neglect it. He emphasizes the importance of reading, believing, and practicing the Scriptures, referencing John 8:31-32. Pastor Daniel outlines four steps: Believe, Do, Know, and Free, applying them to loving enemies as taught in Matthew 5:43-48. He warns against common pitfalls such as neglecting Bible reading, treating it as a mere religious duty, seeking rules over wisdom, and accumulating head knowledge without heart change.
Pastor Daniel encourages believers to see the Bible as a map to God, not God itself, and to seek wisdom and the heart of God rather than legalistic rules. He stresses the importance of a heartfelt connection with God and warns against the dangers of dead religion.

In "The Spirit Led Life: Part 3," Pastor Daniel Stevens delves into the critical quality of faith for living a Spirit-led life. Building on last week's theme of hearing from God, he explores Matthew 14:22-33, where Jesus walks on water and Peter steps out of the boat in faith. Pastor Stevens emphasizes the importance of replenishing our spiritual energy by spending time with God, as it’s hard to maintain faith when we are spiritually dry. He points out that faith is not just a vague belief but is specifically about who we place our faith in—God. Just as Peter trusted Jesus and walked on water, we are encouraged to find what God is doing and believe in His promises.
Pastor Daniel reminds us that faith involves stepping out and taking risks, much like Peter did, instead of staying in the boat with the other disciples. He acknowledges the obstacles and "giants in the land" that challenge our faith but encourages us to persevere, as overcoming these obstacles is a part of our faith journey. The sermon concludes with a call to action: believe God for something today, whether big or small, and trust in His promises. For those who have been hurt or disappointed in their faith journey, Pastor Daniel offers empathy and encouragement, urging them to keep going, as God honors and loves their faith. For prayer and support, viewers are invited to reach out to prayer@goodhope.ag.

In this sermon, Pastor Daniel emphasizes the importance of learning to listen for God's voice rather than trying to force communication. He shares his story of recognizing dreams from God and challenges us to avoid common mistakes, such as assuming we can't hear from God, focusing on negatives, being impatient, mistaking emotions for the Spirit’s leading, mixing the Spirit’s guidance with human ideas, and taking the path of least resistance. Instead, Pastor Daniel advises us to always evaluate against Biblical truth, engage in intentional prayer, fasting, Spirit-led giving, and to be obedient quickly. He encourages us to pray and seek wisdom from God, believing in His promise to guide us.
Thank you for watching. May you grow in your ability to hear God's voice and live a Spirit-led life!

Last week, we explored Water Baptism. Now, we move forward to discuss the Spirit Led Life. Often, it seems like there are only two options: selfish pleasure seeking or dead religion, both leading to negative outcomes. But there is a third, much better option: the Spirit Led Life, offering true fulfillment beyond the emptiness of dead religion and the pain of selfish living.
I've experienced all three paths. While I led a relatively boring life, I understand selfish pleasure and the entanglements of dead religion, which often leads to bureaucracy and conflicts. However, my early walk with God involved prayer, Bible reading, and daily communication with Him. This Spirit-led journey inevitably led me to church, where the challenge is to keep it God-focused rather than organization-focused.
Jesus exemplifies the Spirit Led Life, as shown in Matthew 4:1-11, where He overcame wilderness temptations through His connection with God. Romans 8:1-17 emphasizes the freedom and guidance found in living by the Spirit, particularly in verses 8:2, 8:9, and 8:14.
If you feel stuck between two bad options, it’s time to embrace the Spirit Led Life. This path offers true fulfillment and spiritual growth. Let's seek the Spirit Led Life together, praying to be filled with the Spirit and to walk in His steps, as highlighted in Ephesians 5:15-16.

Handing down faith to the next generation is a monumental task. While Moses successfully passed the mantle to Joshua, Joshua's successors struggled, as noted in Judges 2:10-12. In contemporary America, we face similar challenges.
In this video, we delve into the successful handoff from Elijah to Elisha and uncover timeless principles applicable today. Elijah experienced both incredible triumphs and deep despair. From calling down fire on Mount Carmel to fleeing in fear, his journey was tumultuous. Yet, God guided him to find Elisha, leading to a powerful transition of leadership.

Welcome to Part 7 of our series, "Seeing Others Through God’s Eyes." This message focuses on dealing with cognitive bias, based on Matthew 7:1-6, 12. Jesus' teaching, "Judge not, that you be not judged," urges us to reflect on how we judge others, knowing that our judgments can influence our own eternal outcomes. Instead of engaging in straw man arguments, we're encouraged to help others build their strongest cases and seek truth over simply winning debates, following James 1:19.
Matthew 7:3-5 addresses our tendency to overlook our flaws while criticizing others. Jesus uses the metaphor of specks in our eyes to urge honesty about our shortcomings. This honesty, along with responsibility and personal growth (Ephesians 4:22-24, Philippians 2:12-13), allows us to genuinely help others. Matthew 7:6 reminds us to be wise and discerning, protecting our relationship with God. The Golden Rule in Matthew 7:12 sums it up: by seeing things from others' perspectives, we can eliminate biases.

Welcome to Part 3 of Pastor Mike's sermon series: "The True Vine"! In this insightful message, Pastor Mike highlights four key points:
Productivity Expectations: God expects us to be productive, not just in John 15:2 but throughout Scripture. He delves into the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:24-30), emphasizing the importance of action to our faith.
God's Assistance: Aligning with God's plan ensures His presence and help in our endeavors. By seeking His will and partnering with Him, we experience His guidance and support.
Finding Joy in Service: Christianity offers purpose and fulfillment in serving others. Pastor Mike emphasizes the excitement of being actively involved in God's mission rather than being passive spectators.
Facing Opposition: While there may be opposition, victory comes to those who remain connected to the True Vine (John 15:5). Pastor Mike encourages us not to be discouraged by challenges but to remain steadfast in our faith.
Join us as we pray to be connected, growing, and productive in our faith journey! 🙏 #BearingFruit #FaithInAction #ChristianCommunity #PastorMikeStevens

In Part 2 of Pastor Mike's sermon, the focus is on the journey of improvement that the Lord expects from believers. The sermon emphasizes three main points: pruning, unity, and becoming a friend of Jesus. Through the analogy of pruning in John 15:2-3, Pastor Mike highlights the necessity of letting go of harmful or distracting elements in our lives to reach our full potential in Christ. This includes shedding selfish ambitions and grudges, as exemplified by the early disciples.
Unity and love for one another are emphasized as essential components of spiritual growth. Despite the disciples' struggles with infighting and ambition, Jesus redefines greatness as servant leadership, emphasizing the importance of serving others. The sermon concludes with a call to transition from merely being obedient servants to becoming friends of Jesus, embracing the joy of friendship with Him and aligning with His mission. Attendees are encouraged to mature in their faith and look forward to further exploration of bearing fruit in the following week's sermon.

Pastor Mike Stevens delves into 1 John 4:7-21, emphasizing the profound connection between God's love and our love for others. He introduces the "drive pulley concept" to explain the importance of a continuous flow of love within the Body of Christ, emphasizing the command to love God, neighbors, fellow believers, and even enemies.
Pastor Mike highlights the diagnostic nature of love, stating that a lack of love indicates a problem in the connection between individuals and the love they've received. He illustrates this with a car analogy, urging not to force love but to cultivate it authentically by understanding and embracing God's love, allowing it to flow to others.
Four hindrances to this flow of love are identified: mimicking without internal transformation, seeking God's love erroneously, relying on false idols, and being unaware of God's love and purpose. The sermon concludes with a call to self-reflection, emphasizing the need to understand God's grace, love one another, and envision the transformative potential if love were genuinely embraced.

Evil exists in various forms in our world, and it can often feel overwhelming and disheartening. However, the Bible offers us guidance on how to respond to evil in a way that promotes love, peace, and justice. Romans 12:21 encourages us to not be overcome by evil, but to overcome evil with good.
Throughout this message, we will explore the significance of turning tables on evil. We'll discuss the idea of responding to evil acts with acts of kindness, forgiveness, and compassion. By doing so, we can break the cycle of negativity and contribute to a more harmonious and loving society.

Todd Marshall, MN District Worship Arts Director
‘Worship is Life’ is a mission with a message from God for the Church.
Todd Marshall says, “Mother’s Day 2013 started a 72 hour period when I heard the voice of God three times like I had never heard before. The third time I heard him speak he said these words to me, ‘I have given you a message for my Church about worship and I am positioning you so this message will have a greater influence.’”
‘Worship is Life’ is a call to the Church to maximize her potential in growing God’s kingdom. While there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9) this message uses the language of worship to challenge and encourage the Church to rise up and love God and love people like never before; worship equals relationship!
Two questions lie at the heart of the ‘Worship is Life’ message: what is the connection between a worship service and a life of worship and why does is it matter? Because…
Unless what happens when we gather
Translates into what happens when we scatter
Then what happens when we gather
Doesn’t matter!
Our mission statement is ‘Growing God’s Kingdom through Connecting Worship to Life’ and our vision statement is to ‘Take the Worship is Life message to the body of Christ on every continent’.
So we invite you to join the mission!

[ Video version of the message here ]
In 1996, Drew surrendered his sexuality to the Lordship of Christ, leaving behind a homosexual relationship. Drew chose to trust Christ with his future, believing that the Word of God was trustworthy and that Christ would be faithful to give him a life worth living outside of a homosexual identity or relationship. This surrender began a process of transformation and healing confronting the issues of same-sex attraction and overall relational dysfunction in his life.
Drew began full-time ministry to the sexually and relationally broken in 2004, joining the staff of Portland Fellowship, a para-church discipleship ministry in Portland, OR. Drew spent ten years in ministry there, ending his time as the Assistant Director to found A Living Letter Ministries in 2015.
Drew’s life and testimony stand in stark contrast to the current cultural narrative about sexual identity, demonstrating instead what Christ can do for a sexually broken life submitted to His Lordship. With the current shifts in ideology regarding sexuality, identity, gender, and God’s transformative power, Drew's ministry, experience, and insight stand as a redemptive voice of truth to the body of Christ.
Drew is a graduate of Multnomah Bible College, holding a Bachelor's Degree in Ministry and Leadership. In addition to being the Founder and Director of A Living Letter Ministries, Drew serves as a Teaching and Counseling Pastor at Living Waters Church in Medford, OR. Drew released his first book, Are We There Yet? in 2018, adding author to his list of accomplishments.
Of all the roles and titles he carries, his most prized titles are that of husband and father. Drew and his wife Suzanne have been married since 2004 and together they have the joy of raising their three daughters.

Drew chose to trust Christ with his future, believing that the Word of God was trustworthy and that Christ would be faithful to give him a life worth living outside of a homosexual identity or relationship. This surrender began a process of transformation and healing confronting the issues of same-sex attraction and overall relational dysfunction in his life.
Drew began full-time ministry to the sexually and relationally broken in 2004, joining the staff of Portland Fellowship, a para-church discipleship ministry in Portland, OR. Drew spent ten years in ministry there, ending his time as the Assistant Director to found A Living Letter Ministries in 2015.
Drew’s life and testimony stand in stark contrast to the current cultural narrative about sexual identity, demonstrating instead what Christ can do for a sexually broken life submitted to His Lordship. With the current shifts in ideology regarding sexuality, identity, gender, and God’s transformative power, Drew's ministry, experience, and insight stand as a redemptive voice of truth to the body of Christ.
Drew is a graduate of Multnomah Bible College, holding a Bachelor's Degree in Ministry and Leadership. In addition to being the Founder and Director of A Living Letter Ministries, Drew serves as a Teaching and Counseling Pastor at Living Waters Church in Medford, OR. Drew released his first book, Are We There Yet? in 2018, adding author to his list of accomplishments.
Of all the roles and titles he carries, his most prized titles are that of husband and father. Drew and his wife Suzanne have been married since 2004 and together they have the joy of raising their three daughters.

[ Video Version of Sermon ]
In the last three years God has ordered our steps. We preach/lead worship all over the country and world. We were determined early on to pray and fast and let God open every door of opportunity. Therefore, we do not call or email pastors, leaders, directors or market our ministry. We ask God to open the doors for us. When we are asked to come and minister we recognize that it was God that brought us there and not our own doing. We love partnering with local church leaders and help equip/build into the region and place with what God is already doing there.
Tom and Patti desire to reach the lost to plant the church.

We are definitely living in interesting times. Down is up, up is down – wrong is right, right is wrong. What used to be considered honorable is now despicable. Integrity, Christian values?

Guest Speaker: Pastor Corey Pond from our Morgan Park campus.
Do you want to be great?? How about; Do great things for your Lord and Savior? I hope so. But, what does greatness look like in the Kingdom of God??
Pastor Mike Stevens finishes his series on the Holy Holidays. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 that we can learn some things from looking at ancient Israel in the Old Testament.
Merry Christmas!! Now is when we celebrate the birth of Christ! Very important holiday! We are going to take a couple of weeks and look at some Old Testament holidays from the Bible. Major Christian holidays and “holy days:” Christmas, Easter, Communion once a month, Sundays… Special days to remember and/or celebrate. Same in Old Testament, but different events. They had a lot of holidays in ancient Israel. 7 important ones are described in Leviticus 23.
This is the opposite side of the design argument from last time. Romans 1:20.Look how bad things are, so there must not be a loving God in charge of this.
Science and Religion need not be in conflict for the honest follower of Jesus. Romans 1:16-20
Short answer is YES!! If you are cool with that, great! I think you will still get something good.
This series is in the line of apologetics/defending the faith. Not really about theological differences between Christian groups
The idea isn’t just that when we die we go to heaven, but that Jesus is coming back here!!!
400+ years after Jacob comes Moses. Joseph – Egypt has been good and bad. Now time to go.
Just like his grandfather, Abraham, Jacob gets a new name. His new name will be Israel! But first, there must be a transformation. Jacob is not necessarily a good guy.
We will look at two great acts of faith on Abraham’s part, and one not so great moment.
This series we go through the major events and people of the Bible. (We will miss a lot!!)

Love this verse! However, this is only a partial truth and if taken as a universal generalization it can be quite misunderstood.
The misunderstanding of this verse is sort of a mix of out of context and not the full story.
This is a great verse!! It is an example of a verse that is absolutely true, but only tells half of the story.
This is probably the most known verse in the Bible. - Why? Because this is a wonderful verse! This one really means what it says. So, lets dig in deeper.
