    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.#FullArmorOfGod #BootsOfReadiness #PastorMikeStevens #GoodHopeChurch #FaithInAction #BeReady #ChristianLiving #SpiritualGrowth #Ephesians6 #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-3Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

    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.

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.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #WalkByFaith #EyesOfFaith #ChristianLiving #JesusChangesEverything #GrowInFaithSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-6-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

    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. #GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #WalkByFaith #SpeakFaith #HopeInChrist #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-5-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

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.

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.
