This message explores the tension between reason and revelation—why God gave you a brain and also why he calls you to surrender it. From mind-blowing doctrines to uncomfortable truths, learn how to let God's Word be the final authority, even when it seems against human reason.Do you want to know more about God?

Believing in Jesus is the starting point—but it's not the whole story. Grace shapes your everyday life, your purpose, and the way you treat people, especially when it's hard. It's not about being perfect—it's about living real, bold love in a world that needs it.

This message looks at someone who messed up—and still got called back by Jesus to do his work.

Loneliness—it can stem from digital connections, the loss of a spouse, self-isolation, family rifts, or even feeling alone in a crowd. Pastor Mike Novotny shares from his book, "Lonely Less: 6 Steps to a Less Lonely Life."

Most people have an edited version of Jesus—miracles, cross, empty tomb, done. But in the extended cut, Jesus shows you even more truth that will give you confidence to believe. This message gets real about sin and why seeing it through Jesus' eyes is the only way to understand grace. Because when you see sin clearly, you finally see just how good Jesus really is.Do you want to know more about God? Or know someone who would like to know God?

"Living my best life" is a phrase thrown around in modern culture. But maybe more often than not, we feel lacking and circumstances keep us from living our best lives. Thankfully, Pastor Mike reminds us, God is with us and will use even our struggles and tough times for our good.Do you want to know more about God? Or know someone who would like to know God?

Being a Christian is both easy and hard. Jesus lived a perfect life, died for all sin, and rose for us; there's nothing we need to do to earn heaven. That's the easy part. But loving God above everything can seem difficult. In this message, Pastor Mike teaches from the book of Hebrews to remind us of a very important truth: God will help us through the hard parts of being a Christian.Do you want to know more about God?

Sometimes we may feel as though we're not blessed financially. Even though we live in a prosperous age, many factors determine the kinds of financial struggles we have. In the first message of this new series, "God's Promises to You," Pastor Mike explains a true and comforting promise of God. Namely, despite any struggle we have, God will be there for us.

Why are there certain topics Christians avoid talking about—especially in church?In this powerful conversation, Pastor Tim Ahlman sits down with Mike Novotny to unpack the taboo topics that are quietly affecting thousands of believers every Sunday. From pornography and sexual sin to abuse, politics, and shame—this episode dives into the real struggles Christians face and why bringing them into the light is the only path to healing.Mike shares his personal story of addiction, the turning point that changed everything, and why honest confession within Christian community is so powerful. Together, they explore how Jesus addressed difficult topics head-on—and why the modern church must do the same.If you've ever felt stuck, ashamed, or unsure how to talk about hard things… this episode is for you.

Dead doesn't stay dead when Jesus shows up—and that changes everything. Whether you need proof in your head or peace in your heart, whether you need something intellectual or emotional, Easter is your day. It gives you all these things AND the most important thing—eternal life with Jesus.

Jesus' Palm Sunday ride into Jerusalem wasn't the kind of entrance you'd expect from a king—and that's the point. Everything about how Jesus showed up flipped the script on power, purpose, and what it means to follow someone worth everything. Jesus showed up in a way that invites us to see him with fresh eyes and rediscover the joy of who he really is. It's not loud, flashy, or expected—but it's real, personal, and full of meaning.

What's the point of gaining everything if it costs you the one thing that matters most? In this message, Jesus challenges the way we think about success, sacrifice, and what we're really living for. It's a call to rethink what we chase—and why. If you've ever felt torn between the life you want and the one Jesus invites you into, this message will help you wrestle with the cost, the reward, and the deeper question underneath it all.

Traditions come and go, styles change, preferences shift, but Jesus points us to something solid—God's Word. This message reminds us that while church traditions can be helpful, they're not the foundation of faith. Jesus calls us to hold tightly to truth, not just routines. If you're looking for something real to build your life on, this is your reminder that God's Word is steady, unchanging, and worth clinging to.

“Following” usually means scrolling past someone's highlight reel. But Jesus calls us to something entirely different. Pastor Mike explores what it really meant when Jesus said, “Follow me”—and why some ordinary guys dropped everything to do it. You'll see that following Jesus isn't about casually liking his content but living under his direction. It's not always easy, but it's real, it's deep, and it leads to something far better than anything the world can offer.

How blessed you feel may depend on what you consider to be blessings, which means you may forget that you have blessings right in front of you every day. Pastor Mike challenges you to shift your mindset and open your eyes to the really good things from God that you often don't think about. In turn, you can become more grateful and feel more blessed.

In an age of podcasts, playlists, and on-demand spirituality, it's easier than ever to engage with faith from afar. But Pastor Mike challenges us to think about what might be missing when we do. This message takes a closer look at what happens when we move beyond consuming content and begin showing up in community. The result is a deeper reflection on presence, connection, and what God designed the church to be.

We live in a world where friendship is both highly valued and surprisingly hard to maintain. This message turns our attention to the kinds of relationships that help us feel known—and why some fall short. It slows us down to consider what builds real connection and what quietly pulls us apart. At the center is a deeper truth: No human friendship can replace the one we were made for first.

Family can bring deep connection—and deep complexity. Pastor Mike helps us think about the family relationships that shape us most, for better or worse, and how God speaks into them. This message points us toward a quieter strength that can reshape how we show up humbly at home.

Loneliness can show up even in the busiest, most connected parts of life. In the first message of the "Lonely Less" series, Pastor Mike teaches about where true connection begins—and what might be missing in the places we often look for it. Drawing from both Scripture and everyday experience, this message gently reframes the way we think about being alone. It invites us to consider a presence that doesn't depend on people, pace, or circumstance.

It's easy to feel less than when someone else's strengths seem so much clearer than yours. But Pastor Mike digs into why your unique wiring isn't accidental or interchangeable. It's designed by God intentionally. With honesty and biblical clarity, this message helps break down the lies that keep us stuck in comparison or frustration. It's a meaningful invitation to recognize your gifts, name them, and use them in a way that matters.

We often talk about being busy like it's just a season we're going through, but what if it has become our way of life? Pastor Mike explores the spiritual cost of constantly running at full speed. Drawing from the wisdom in Ecclesiastes, this message offers a clear, thoughtful challenge to the pace we've come to accept as normal.

Our daily habits are surrounded by screens and technology that shape our lives in ways we rarely stop to notice. Using one of Jesus' parables, Pastor Mike raises a deeper question beneath the scrolls, streams, and notifications: What are you making space for—and what might you be missing? This message offers time to pause, reflect, and consider what's quietly shaping the direction of your life—and to step back and realign your habits with what truly matters.

Pastor Mike launches this new sermon series by taking aim at one of the most accepted spiritual trends of our time—the kind that feels personal, flexible, and easy to control. But is it actually leading you anywhere solid? Rooted in Psalm 16, this message challenges you to consider who holds the authority in your life—and whether that's bringing the peace and purpose you're hoping for.

Pastor Mike is back with the annual special episode where he tackles tough questions from people like you. Hear what the Bible says about today's difficult topics.

Christmas is filled with moments of joy—family, gifts, traditions—but there's always something that keeps it from being perfect. No matter how much you love the season, it never fully satisfies. That's because Christmas was never meant to be the ultimate source of joy. The story of the wisemen reminds you that true joy and peace aren't found in a holiday but in a Savior who is worthy of your worship. Discover why Jesus is everything your heart is longing for, not just at Christmas but forever.

Promises are easy to make but hard to keep. We've all experienced disappointment when people let us down. But what about God? Does he actually follow through on what he says? The Christmas story isn't just a tradition; it's proof that God keeps his promises. What about the promises he has made to you? Pastor Mike explores why Christmas can give you real confidence that God is trustworthy, even when life feels uncertain.

Mary and Joseph's first Christmas wasn't picture-perfect. It was confusing, costly, and filled with uncertainty. Yet instead of resisting God's plan, they embraced it, even when it changed everything. What about you? When life doesn't go as planned, when faith asks more of you than you expected, how do you respond? This message explores what it means to trust God, even when it's difficult, and why his plans are always worth following.

Christmas isn't just a heartwarming tradition—it's history. But is it really for you? Many wonder if God's love extends to people who feel unworthy, overlooked, or weighed down by the past. As you explore the very first page of the New Testament in this message, you'll discover that Jesus came from a long line of nobodies and notorious sinners—proof that Christmas is for the broken, the struggling, and the searching. This season, embrace the hope that Jesus was born for you.

What if Christmas isn't just about what we've made it—but about something deeper, more human, and more hopeful? In this sneak peek at the upcoming sermon series "God's Kind of Christmas," Pastor Mike and Amber explore the tension between cultural expectations and the surprising heart of the original Christmas story. They speak candidly about the honest questions many people have—especially those who wonder if any of this could actually be true. It's a conversation that calls for belief, not just in a holiday but in a God who stepped into history for people like us.Learn more about this month's $375,000 Challenge Grant at https://bit.ly/48k2PEm.

Most religions teach that if we mess up a relationship with the divine, we have to fix it. If our karma is bad or our scale shows more bad deeds than good or if we've broken a few too many commandments, we'd better make up for it. And that's what makes Christianity different: God reconciled us. But what does that actually mean? Pastor Mike digs deep into one of the most emotional words in the Bible: reconcile. And he explains how it has changed our lives.

How can a good God allow suffering and evil in the world? Pastor Mike confronts that very objection, diving into the painful realities many face daily, from personal loss to global tragedies. But while it can feel overwhelming, Pastor Mike encourages a fresh perspective: Perhaps your struggles could lead to deeper faith and understanding. 

In our spiritual war, it's not just important to know the gospel—but to share it. But for many of us, fear keeps us silent. What if we say the wrong thing? What if it ruins a relationship? Even the apostle Paul, one of history's boldest evangelists, asked for prayers to share the gospel fearlessly. In this message, Pastor Mike helps you learn how to overcome fear, seize the right moments, and boldly proclaim the hope of Jesus in a world that desperately needs it. The battle is real, but so is the power of the gospel.
