  • Succeed Against Lust Through The Gospel | 8/3/25

    Pastor Mike teaches how lust cannot produce sin until it’s conceived in your heart, but when the gospel is conceived in your heart it births good fruit. Audio>  

  • Don’t Change Your Words. Change Your Thinking.

    Length: 7 Minutes

    Confession is very misunderstood in the church today. It’s either dismissed or it’s taught as the means by which we receive from God. Confession is important, but not because of what it is, but because of what it indicates.

  • Being A Slave Means It’s Easy (Righteousness And Life)

    Length: 12 Minutes

    If you were to read Romans 5-7 (and a bit of chapter 8) you would find words like “reign, slave, dominion, captivity, and law (as in a governing authority).” There are a lot of words describing a slave/master relationship. That’s because, before we knew Jesus, we were slaves to sin and death. Those were the two things that came through Adam. Likewise, we now have a new slavery to righteousness and life – the opposite of what Adam enslaved us to. Romans 5 calls it “righteousness and grace.”

  • Submission Without Fear – Part 2

    Length: 6 Minutes

    In our last part, we introduced the concept that Peter spoke of, regarding submission without fear. This world submits for fear of consequences or for the control that they feel someone has over their life. But we submit to authority voluntarily, for the Lord’s sake, without any fear or terror.

  • Submission Without Fear – Part 1

    Length: 7 Minutes

    In Christ, all believers have the same thing, through the same cross. None of us differ in the grace that we have received from God, because we received it through the same payment. And while that is true, while we are growing, we don’t all play the same role, not in this world, in a family, or a ministry. God has us perform different jobs so that we are not all doing the same thing (1 Corinthians 12:4-7). And in these various structures that God has set forth, there will be authority figures for us to submit to, but there’s a right way to do that.

  • Your Inevitable Outcome (Slave Means Stuck)

    Length: 5 Minutes

    When you’ve gone through some addiction, habit, sickness, or pain for a long time, many people, and unfortunately many believers as well, feel sort of trapped or stuck, wondering if this thing will ever go away. I’ve got good news for you. As a believer you are a slave to righteousness and God’s life-giving power. That’s the only thing you’re stuck in. Let’s unpack that.

  • Reality Check (It’s Too Good To Close Your Eyes)

    Length: 5 minutes

    People without Jesus need constant “escapes from reality.” They try to drown out the reality of their world with things like drugs, alcohol, parties, TV, video games, vacations, and even sleep. They are happiest when they are not remembering the real world, but for a believer, it’s all the contrary. We are happiest when our eyes are opened to our world.
