In Part 1: The Situation, Pastor Mike Stevens reminds us that today is the day of salvation — the moment to walk with God, live in His truth, and embrace eternal life. Yet many still miss it. 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.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #Salvation #FollowJesus #ReachUpRiseUpReachOut #PastorMikeStevensSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-1-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

In this week's message, Part 1: The Situation, Pastor Daniel Stevens shares how today — not someday — is the day of salvation. God's invitation is open right now, but many overlook it. Pastor Daniel teaches that following Jesus means more than attending church; it's about turning away from darkness and living daily in God's light. Through repentance and obedience, we step into the fullness of life Jesus promised. Let's continue to Reach Up, Rise Up, and Reach Out in faith and purpose.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #Salvation #RepentAndFollow #ReachUpRiseUpReachOut #PastorDanielStevensSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-1-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

In Part 1: The Situation, Pastor Mike Jurek unpacks what it truly means to respond to God's call. Today is the day of salvation — the time to receive forgiveness and start walking in new life. Pastor Mike reminds us that the narrow gate isn't about religion but about relationship — choosing to turn from sin and follow Jesus as Savior and Lord. When we do, we become part of God's great plan to share hope with the world.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #HopeInChrist #SalvationMessage #ReachUpRiseUpReachOut #PastorMikeJurekSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-1-mj Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #HearingFromGod #PastorMikeStevens #Obedience #TrustGod #CourageOverComfortSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-6-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #PastorDanielStevens #HearingFromGod #WalkInFaith #TrustHisPlanSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-6-mnGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

Hearing from God requires more than just open ears — it takes an open heart. Pastor Mike Jurek challenges us to look honestly at the times we resist God's voice because it asks something hard of us. Whether it's Jonah running from grace or the rich young man clinging to comfort, the message is the same: God's way leads to purpose, peace, and a better life than we could build on our own.Choose courage over comfort and faith over fear — because God's plan for you is always worth hearing.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #PastorMikeJurek #HearingFromGod #Obedience #GodsPlan #CourageInFaithSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-6-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #HearingFromGod #SpiritualGrowth #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-5-ms (Pastor Celia used Pastor Mike Steven's Notes)Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

Hearing from God can feel intimidating—what if we make a mistake? The truth is, even in the Bible, people often misunderstood what God was saying. In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens shares biblical examples of common mistakes we make when trying to hear from God. Whether it's only catching part of the message, letting love cloud our judgment, or letting hate distort our perspective, we are reminded to stay prayerful, discerning, and humble before the Lord.Join us as we learn how to avoid these pitfalls and grow in hearing God's voice clearly.#GoodHopeChurch #HearingFromGod #FaithForToday #SpiritualDiscernment #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-5-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

Do you ever feel unsure about whether you're truly hearing from God? Pastor Mike Jurek shares how even biblical leaders struggled with this, sometimes getting it only partly right or letting personal feelings affect their interpretation. From Daniel's discernment to Paul's calling, and even the Pharisees' mistakes, Scripture shows us the dangers of letting love, fear, or hate cloud our spiritual hearing.This message encourages us to rely on prayer, discernment, and humility as we grow in recognizing God's voice in our lives.#GoodHopeChurch #HearingFromGod #FaithForToday #BibleTeaching #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-5-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

Hearing from God can be difficult when life is filled with noise—worry, fear, distractions, and inner struggles. In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens unpacks how we can quiet the chaos through spiritual disciplines, learning to come to peace with life's messiness, and putting our faith in God's power and control.Fasting, prayer, and intentional silence help us clear away the clutter so we can hear the still, small voice of the Lord. God wants to speak, and when we quiet the noise, clarity and peace come. #GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #HearingFromGod #JesusChangesEverything #FastingAndPrayer #SpiritualDisciplinesSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-4-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

It's not easy to hear God's voice when our lives are filled with so much noise—stress, temptations, and distractions. In this week's message, Pastor Daniel Stevens encourages us to take practical steps to quiet the noise. Through spiritual practices like fasting, prayer, and resting in God's presence, we can make room for His voice.True peace comes when we shift from asking “Why?” to “What now?” and trust that God is both in control and leading us forward. By stepping into intentional quiet, we open ourselves to fresh revelation and a renewed sense of direction. #GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #HearingFromGod #JesusChangesEverything #PrayerAndFasting #QuietTheNoiseSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-4-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

With all the noise in our world—anxiety, pride, busyness, and even our own guilty conscience—it can be overwhelming to hear from God. Pastor Mike Jurek shares how fasting, prayer, and faith help us push back the noise and draw near to God.When we choose to get quiet before Him, we learn to distinguish His voice from our own thoughts and distractions. This is how we find peace, strength, and clarity to live out our faith in a noisy world. #GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #HearingFromGod #JesusChangesEverything #PeaceInChrist #FastingForClaritySermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-4-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#GoodHopeChurch #HearingFromGod #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #HolySpirit #ConscienceGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#GoodHopeChurch #HearingFromGod #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #WalkInTheSpirit #ConscienceSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-3-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

In Hearing from God: Part 3 – Your Conscience, Pastor Mike Jurek unpacks the role of our conscience as the primary way God guides us from within. Instead of waiting for doors to open or close, we are called to discern the Spirit's quiet prompting and align our lives with His will.Pastor Mike challenges us to recognize the state of our conscience—whether guilty, weak, or hardened—and to let Jesus cleanse and restore it. Through His grace, we gain a renewed conscience that leads us in truth and empowers us to serve God wholeheartedly.#GoodHopeChurch #HearingFromGod #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #SpiritLed #ConscienceSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-3-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#HearingFromGod #SpiritualDiscernment #GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeStevens #HolySpirit #FaithJourney #BibleTeachingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-2-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#HearingFromGod #SpiritualGrowth #GoodHopeChurch #PastorDanielStevens #HolySpiritPower #BibleTruth #ChristianLivingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-2-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#HearingFromGod #Discernment #GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeJurek #SpiritLed #ChristianFaith #HolySpiritSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/hearing-from-god-2-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.DOWNLOAD THE SERMON NOTES HERE#HearingFromGod #BibleTruth #FaithStrong #GodsWord #GoodHopeChurchSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.DOWNLOAD THE SERMON NOTES HERE#HearingFromGod #BibleFoundation #GodsVoice #FaithJourney #GoodHopeChurchSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.DOWNLOAD THE SERMON NOTES HERE#HearingGodsVoice #BibleTruth #FaithBuilding #GoodHopeChurch #ScriptureFirstSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

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.#SpiritualWarfare #FaithOverFear #ArmorOfGod #PrayerPower #IdentityInChrist #FightTheGoodFight #KingdomCulture #BoldFaith #ReviveUs #GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeStevens #ChurchOnline[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ]STAY CONNECTEDSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
