Pastor Mike Jurek shares how the baptism in the Holy Spirit brings power, bold faith, and a deeper connection with God. This isn't something we purchase with spiritual performance. It's a loving gift God offers His children.He emphasizes that Scripture repeatedly points to speaking in tongues as a clear and practical way believers know that the Holy Spirit has come upon them. Whether the moment feels dramatic or simple, what truly matters is trusting God, asking for more of His presence, and continuing to walk in faith as He leads.#HolySpirit #SpiritBaptism #EmpoweredByGod #GoodHopeChurch #LearningToSwimSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/spirit-2-mjGiving 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 

Are you ready to move beyond the sanitized Christmas card version of Jesus and discover who he really is according to Scripture? This powerful message reveals three life-changing truths about the real Jesus that will transform how you understand Christianity, faith, and your relationship with God.Learn why Jesus truly understands your struggles, pain, and temptations. Unlike distant religious figures, Jesus experienced full humanity - exhaustion, hunger, difficult relationships, loss, and every form of temptation. He doesn't check the weather app from his warm bed; he walked in the cold himself. This makes him the perfect counselor who actually sees and hears you without interruption or distraction.Discover how Jesus combines perfect empathy with divine authority. While he sits with you in your pain, he also comes to transform your life completely. Jesus loves you exactly as you are but refuses to let you stay that way. His compassion never excuses destructive behavior - instead, it provides the foundation for real change and spiritual growth.Understand the unique forgiveness that only Jesus can offer. Having faced every temptation without sinning, Jesus offered his perfect life as a sacrifice for your sins. This means you can approach God with complete confidence, knowing that shame from your past doesn't have to define your future.Perfect for anyone seeking authentic faith, struggling with doubt, or wanting to deepen their relationship with God. Whether you're new to Christianity or have been a believer for years, this message will challenge cultural assumptions and reveal the Jesus who feels for you, fixes you, and forgives you completely.

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.

This sermon celebrates the third week of Advent by focusing on the theme of joy, teaching that true joy is not based on circumstances but on God's presence with us through Jesus Christ. It explains that Jesus' birth brings “good news of great joy for all people” because He is our Savior, Messiah, and Lord, offering salvation, restored relationship with God, and a life surrendered to His loving rule.

Christ did not come merely to create warm Christmas nostalgia, but to anchor our hearts to the unbreakable guarantee of a perfect eternity with our forgiving Creator.

Send us a textJesus warned that life doesn't consist in the abundance of possessions - yet we're bombarded with 4,000-10,000 ads daily telling us otherwise. This Christmas, what if we chose simplicity over accumulation and discovered that our deepest desires are satisfied not by what we can buy, but by the One we can receive?

"Speak the Word" is a powerful reminder that our words carry weight. Pastor Mike teaches that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and what we confess shapes our future. When we declare God's Word over our lives, we align ourselves with His promises - even when circumstances don't seem to change. Drawing from Job 22:28 and James 3:6, this message challenges us to speak life, trust God's timing, and boldly proclaim His truth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Forgotten Get Good News Ever felt like you were on the outside looking in? This week in Christmas Beyond Borders, Pastor Fitz takes us straight to the margins—the place where the Christmas story actually begins. From forgotten shepherds to people today who feel unseen, unwanted, or unqualified, the message is simple and disruptive: Jesus doesn't wait for us to clean up and come to the center. He comes to us—right where we are. And if we want to follow Him, we move toward the margins too. It's where joy breaks in, where lives get rebuilt, and where God's glory shows up in ways the masses often miss.

In Part 1 of Learning to Swim, Pastor Mike Jurek shares how the baptism in the Holy Spirit is about stepping into a deeper relationship with God — like diving into a lake rather than only sipping water from a glass. God doesn't want us to just feel a splash; He invites us to grow confident and strong in the fullness of the Spirit. This teaching is rooted firmly in Scripture — from Joel's prophecy to the ministry of Jesus and the movement of the early Church. Pastor Mike explains that salvation, water baptism, and Spirit baptism each have a unique purpose. The Holy Spirit is already present in believers, yet God promises even more — an empowerment He still offers to every follower of Jesus today. #SpiritLedLiving #GoodHopeChurch #LearningToSwimSeries #HolySpirit #EmpoweredByGod #PentecostalFaithSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/spirit-1-mjGiving 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

This sermon emphasizes that true peace cannot be earned through our own goodness or religious effort but is found only in Jesus, the promised Prince of Peace. Using Simeon's encounter with the infant Jesus in Luke 2, Pastor Mike highlights that real peace comes from knowing Christ personally—not from behavior, circumstances, or self-justification. Jesus brings peace for our past through forgiveness, peace in our present through His presence in life's storms, and peace for our future through the assurance of eternal life. The message concludes by urging believers to seek God first, pray continually, and trust Him in order to walk in His lasting peace.

We must practice a repentance that takes sin seriously, accepts whatever pain it requires, and works diligently to restore sincere obedience.
