Pastor Mike Stevens shares an encouraging message about the importance of developing a daily walk with Jesus. While much of our faith journey happens outside the church walls and away from the eyes of others, our relationship with God is where true spiritual growth takes place.Through the example of Nicodemus, Pastor Mike reminds us that Christianity is not about following rules but about experiencing a life-changing relationship with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Learn four practical keys to building vibrant daily devotions and discover how consistent time with God can help you grow, hear His voice, and walk confidently in His purpose for your life.#DailyWalkWithJesus #PastorMikeStevens #GoodHopeChurch #DailyDevotions #SpiritualGrowth #BornAgain #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #HolySpirit #BibleStudySermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/our-daily-walk-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Pastor Mike Stevens concludes our series on The Full Armor of God by focusing on Paul's powerful request in Ephesians 6:18-20: "Pray also for me." This message reminds us that pastors, leaders, and every believer need prayer for wisdom, courage, and strength to share the Gospel faithfully. Even the Apostle Paul understood the importance of having others stand with him in prayer.As we finish this series, Pastor Mike challenges us to support our spiritual leaders by thriving in our own walk with Christ, working together as the body of believers, and standing firm in faith. When we wear the full armor of God and encourage one another, we are better equipped to fight the good fight, remain faithful to Jesus, and advance God's Kingdom together.#GoodHopeChurch #FullArmorOfGod #PastorMikeStevens #Prayer #Ephesians6 #StandFirm #Faith #ChristianLiving #ChurchFamily #FightTheGoodFightSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-7Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Pastor Mike Stevens continues the “Full Armor of God” series with a powerful message on “The Sword of the Spirit.” In this message, Pastor Mike unpacks how the Word of God is not just something we study, but something we actively live out through obedience, prayer, and faith-filled declarations. Through Scripture, believers are reminded that God has given them authority to resist the enemy, overcome fear, and walk in spiritual victory.This encouraging message challenges us to stop believing the lie that we are powerless. Pastor Mike Stevens explains how praying in the Spirit, speaking life, and standing on God's promises can help us push back against doubt, temptation, and discouragement. The Sword of the Spirit is more than knowledge, it is a weapon God has placed in the hands of every believer.#GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeStevens #FullArmorOfGod #SwordOfTheSpirit #Faith #SpiritualWarfare #Prayer #BibleTeaching #JesusChangesEverything #ChristianLivingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-6Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Pastor Mike Stevens continues the “Full Armor of God” series by focusing on the Helmet of Salvation and the confidence believers can have through Jesus Christ. Through Ephesians 6 and the story of Peter's transformation after the resurrection, this message reminds us that salvation is more than a moment, it is an unwavering awareness that changes how we live, face fear, and endure life's storms. When we keep our eyes fixed on eternity, we can walk in peace, courage, and purpose no matter what comes our way.This sermon also challenges believers not to trust in the “tinfoil hats” of the world like money, popularity, fear, or self-reliance. True security is found only in Christ. Pastor Mike Stevens encourages us to refocus on salvation, walk in the Spirit, and stand firm with confidence knowing Jesus has already conquered death.#GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeStevens #FullArmorOfGod #HelmetOfSalvation #Faith #JesusChangesEverything #ChristianLiving #SpiritualWarfare #HopeInChrist #Ephesians6Sermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-5Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Pastor Mike Stevens dives into the significance of the Shield of Faith from Ephesians 6, showing how real faith goes beyond belief and becomes something we actively live out. It's not enough to hear God's Word, we are called to respond to it. As we consistently walk in obedience and trust, our faith grows stronger and equips us to stand firm in the middle of life's battles.This message brings encouragement that while we may face trials, we don't have to be defeated by them. Through God's strength, we are able to quench every fiery dart, whether it's fear, doubt, or discouragement. When we position ourselves in Him and stay rooted in faith, we remain protected and steady. And as we stand together in unity, the Church becomes stronger and continues to move forward with purpose.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #ShieldOfFaith #ArmorOfGod #SpiritualGrowth #StandFirm #JesusChangesEverything #FaithOverFear #ChurchOnlineSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-4-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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 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.#GoodHopeChurch #ArmorOfGod #BreastplateOfRighteousness #FaithInAction #ChristianGrowth #TruthAndRighteousness #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-2Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Breakout: Rural Church Planting Strategies with Mike Stevens on Saturday, April 18, at 1:15 pm at the EQUIP Conference The post EQUIP Conference 2026 – April 18th Breakout with Mike Stevens appeared first on MDC.

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.#GoodHopeChurch #FullArmorOfGod #BeltOfTruth #SpiritualBattle #StandFirm #FaithInAction #JesusChangesEverything #TruthInChrist Sermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-1Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

BIN News anchors Vanessa Tyler and Mike Stevens continue their discussion of the week's top stories with Podcast Hosts Ramses Ja and Q Ward See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.#ResurrectionSunday #HeIsRisen #WakeUpSleeper #FaithInJesus #GoodHopeChurch #RunTheRace #NarrowRoad #EasterMessageSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/easter-2026Giving 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. Faith means engaging the fight, speaking truth, and living boldly in what God has called us to do.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #WeWalkByFaith #FightTheGoodFight #TrustGod #LiveByFaith #Courage #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-7Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

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.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #WalkByFaith #EyesOfFaith #TrustGod #JesusChangesEverything #FaithJourneySermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-6-msGiving 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 

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.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #WalkByFaith #TrustGod #SpiritualGrowth #HopeInChrist #FaithJourneySermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-4-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#WeWalkByFaith #FaithJourney #GoodHopeChurch #BelieveHisWord #VictoryInChrist #Provision #SpiritualGrowth #TrustThePromiseSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-3-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#WeWalkByFaith #FaithInGod #SavedByGrace #PurposeDrivenLife #Ephesians2 #2Corinthians5 #GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeStevens #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-1Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#LoveAndRespect #Relationships #Marriage #FaithInAction #BiblicalTruth #ChristianLiving #JesusAtTheCenter #GoodHopeChurchSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/love-respect30 Prayers: https://link.goodhope.ag/30-prayersGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens concludes the Unlocking the Psalms series by diving into Psalm 119 from Book 5. 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 119 reminds us that faith is not just about knowing God's truth but practicing it daily, building our lives on a firm foundation that cannot be shaken.The psalmist also shows us that discipleship includes perseverance, correction, and grace. Even in hardship, opposition, and moments of failure, God's Word becomes a source of strength, comfort, and renewal. As we take Holy Communion, we are reminded that there is no condemnation for those in Christ and that Jesus has already secured our freedom. This message invites us to remain faithful, coachable, and joyful as we continue walking in the ways of the Lord.#UnlockingThePsalms #Psalm119 #Discipleship #GodsWord #FaithInAction #BibleTeaching #HolyCommunion #GoodHopeChurchSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/psalms-5Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Here's part 2 of today's news recap with BIN News anchors Vanessa Tyler and Mike Stevens. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message from Unlocking the Psalms Part 3, Pastor Mike Stevens explores the laments found in Book 3 of the Psalms and what they teach us about walking through hardship. These psalms show us that expressing pain and confusion before God is not a lack of faith, but a step toward healing. When despair is processed honestly, hope has space to grow.Pastor Mike Stevens reminds us that bitterness pulls us away from God, even though His presence is what we need most. Worship plays a vital role during difficult seasons by helping us remember God's faithfulness in the past. When we remember what He has done, our perspective shifts and our trust is restored. #UnlockingThePsalms #BiblicalLament #HopeInGod #WorshipThroughTrials #FaithJourney #GoodHopeChurchSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/psalms-3-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#UnlockingThePsalms #Psalm44 #Psalm51 #Deliverance #FaithInHardTimes #Repentance #Worship #Prayer #GoodHopeChurch #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/psalms-2Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#UnlockingThePsalms #PastorMikeStevens #GoodHopeChurch #BibleTeaching #Worship #Prayer #Psalms #GrowInFaith #ScriptureSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/psalms-1-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

In Learning to Swim – Part 3, Pastor Mike Stevens shares how the baptism in the Holy Spirit is meant to be lived out daily, not just experienced once. It's a gift that strengthens us, builds our spiritual life, and helps us grow closer to God. Like learning to swim, it requires practice, trust, and a willingness to stay in the water instead of stepping back out.As we set our minds on God and learn to live in the Spirit, our connection with Him deepens and our faith becomes more resilient. This message from Pastor Mike Stevens reminds us that spiritual strength prepares us to face hardship with endurance and confidence. When we allow God to work in us continually, He equips us to stand firm and move forward no matter what comes our way.#LearningToSwim #HolySpiritLife #FaithAndGrowth #SpiritualStrength #WalkingInTheSpirit #GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/spirit-3-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

This week, Pastor Mike Stevens teaches about the incredible gift of the Holy Spirit's baptism. Something God generously gives, not something we must work for or deserve. Instead of viewing the Holy Spirit like a transaction, Pastor Mike encourages us to simply receive what God pours out.He also talks about the powerful sign of spiritual baptism: praying in tongues. The Bible shows this gift appearing again and again as believers are filled with the Spirit. Every believer's experience may look different, but when we seek God and walk in faith, we can trust that He is moving—sometimes in ways that grow clearer over time.#HolySpiritBaptism #SpiritFilled #LearningToSwimSeries #FaithSteps #GoodHopeChurchSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/spirit-2-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

In Part 1 of Learning to Swim, Pastor Mike Stevens explains what the baptism in the Holy Spirit truly is — an immersion in God Himself. Just like jumping into a lake is a deeper experience than drinking water or getting rained on, the Holy Spirit invites us into a life fully immersed in His presence. We aren't meant to jump in and get right back out — we are meant to learn how to swim and live daily in the Spirit. This baptism is found throughout Scripture — in Joel's prophecy, in all four Gospels, in Acts, and the New Testament letters. Pastor Mike shows that salvation and Spirit baptism are distinct experiences, and that water baptism is different yet again. Even if someone hasn't been baptized in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit is still at work in their life — and God's promise is that every believer can receive this gift today. #HolySpirit #LearningToSwim #SpiritFilledLife #GoodHopeChurch #Pentecostal #FaithJourney #BibleTeachingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/spirit-1-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens teaches on Core Value #5: This should not be the last generation of pastors. Jesus still calls people to ministry, and the need remains great. The church must create room for the next generation, resist the temptation to “eat pastors alive,” and encourage those stepping into their calling. Scripture reminds us that while not everyone is called to vocational ministry, every believer must be willing if God calls.Pastor Mike also warns that ministry is both full and challenging — Jesus Himself sent His disciples out “as sheep among wolves.” Those called must put on the full armor of God, and those not called must avoid becoming wolves through biting, destroying, or discouraging. Instead, we are called to be ladder-bearers who lift up future leaders. Every believer has a next step with Jesus, and embracing that step leads to the abundant life Christ promised.#GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeStevens #VisionSeries #CoreValues #NextGeneration #MinistryCalling #RiseUpReachOut #FaithInAction #ArmorOfGod #RunYourRaceSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-7Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#GoodHopeChurch #VisionSeries #CoreValues #SpiritFilledChurch #LeaveThe99 #OnMission #ReachUpRiseUpReachOutSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-6Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

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.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #WhatAreWeDoing #NoLonelyChristians #PastorMikeStevens #LoveOneAnother #JesusChangesEverything #ChurchFamily #Forgiveness #CommunityInChristSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-5Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens continues our “What Are We Doing?” vision series, focusing on Core Value #2 — Believers Should Have Resources to Advance in Their Faith. 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.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #GrowInFaith #SpiritualGrowth #JesusChangesEverything #VisionSeries #CoreValues #PastorMikeStevensSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-4Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

In this week's message, Pastor Mike Stevens continues our vision series “What Are We Doing?” by focusing on Core Value #1: Everyone Should Have a Chance to Hear the Gospel.We're reminded that today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:1-2), and it's our calling as the Church to make sure everyone hears the good news of Jesus. From global missions and personal evangelism to the work of the local church, we're all called to “row together” in reaching the lost.Let's live out an authentic, Spirit-filled faith that shows people Jesus through both our words and our lives.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #ReachUpRiseUpReachOut #PastorMikeStevens #WhatAreWeDoing #CoreValues #GospelSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-3Giving 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 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 

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

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 

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 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
