This week Pastor Mike examines how the work of Christ radically unifies those who were once far-off and hostile toward one another and forms them into a diverse-and-united community.

In our final sermon in this series, Pastor Mike explores why we did this series in the first place. It is not merely for people to think more about friendship, or try to make friends. But it's to find friends who will help us grow together. The whole point of this series is building friendships whereby we can grow together in drawing closer to Christ.

In this message, Pastor Mike Oaks teaches from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 on what it means to live a life of ceaseless prayer. Through Paul's encouragement to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances, we are invited into a deeper relationship with God that extends beyond occasional prayer into everyday life. Pastor Mike explores how starting with joy, understanding God as our Father, and learning to walk with Him throughout the day transforms prayer from a routine into an ongoing conversation. As we grow in this relationship, we discover that God's will is not simply that we pray more, but that we live in constant communion with Him.

And therefore […] The post The Steps of Forgiveness Part 2 first appeared on Hope Worth Having.

This sermon in our series called Practical Proverbs, Pastor Mike teaches that true friendship is powerful and essential in the Christian life, drawing from Proverbs to show that godly friends sharpen us, correct us, make us wiser, and should be chosen carefully. He encourages believers to intentionally build strong friendships through community, such as church groups and service teams, rather than living life alone. Ultimately, the message concludes that while godly friends are important, the most important friendship anyone can have is a personal relationship with Jesus, who is the friend who stays closer than a brother.    

God is at work, advancing the gospel one testimony at a time.

Pastor Mike walks us through some of his thoughts and notes for the weekly bible reading

On March 17th, many people celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. For most people, that means wearing green and joking about leprechauns! But what is St. Patty’s Day all about? Pastor Mike Fabarez shares the real-life story of the man we all know as St. Patrick. You’ll be inspired by his true legacy of bold evangelism.

For today's episode, Pastor Mike and Bryan sit down with a special guest from the Shepherds conference, Gary Kim the owner of 316 publishing.

Pastor Mike Overstreet continues our springs series on the New Testament Book of Galatians!

All too often in our churches a pastor is put in a position where he can never be just one of the guys.  The pressures, responsibilities and expectations on a pastor make it so he can't let his hair down and be himself.   On today's program, we will meet a special pastor who is able to do that within and outside his church. We will learn about the difficulty of many other pastors who aren't able to do that. Most pastors might go years without being able to relax and truly just be one of the guys. The expectations on many pastors make it hard on not only himself, but on his family as well.  

Are you overwhelmed by the constant "noise" of life? 

Pastor Mike preaches on how humanity, in spite of God's good gifts and disclosure of himself in those gifts, denied him and as St. Paul said, "Exchanged the truth for a lie." 3rd Sunday in Lent. Year A: Exodus 17:1-7; Romans 1:16-32; John 4:5-26, 39-42

In Part 4 of the message series We Walk by Faith, Pastor Mike Jurek shares that faith grows the same way muscles do, through consistent exercise. Faith begins by believing what God says, and it continues to grow when we trust His promises even when circumstances do not make sense. Living by faith means choosing God's truth over what our eyes may see in the moment.Pastor Mike Jurek encourages believers to actively strengthen their faith. Hope stretches us toward what God has promised. Choosing to believe Scripture builds spiritual strength. Acting on what we believe allows faith to grow in real life. Even hardships can shape and strengthen our faith when we allow God to work through them. When we nourish our faith with God's Word, prayer, fasting, and spiritual rest, we build the strength needed to endure life's challenges and walk confidently with God.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #WalkByFaith #TrustGod #ChristianFaith #FaithStrength #GrowInFaithSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-4-mjGiving 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 

This morning Pastor Mike will continue our study of the book of Galations LIVE NOT BY LIES with a sermon about the LIE OF PERFORMANCE.  We hear all the time in church that we are not saved by our own deeds but by faith in Christ -- what does that really mean?  Pastor Mike will teach today about a confrontation between Paul and Peter that shows how still today we work to attain salvation rather than simply having faith and accepting God's grace.  ---ACC Website: http://www.arundelcc.org/Give Online: https://arundelcc.churchcenter.com/giving---CCLI License #1588415

“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.

The sermon introduces a new series called “Practical Proverbs,” encouraging believers to read the Book of Proverbs and apply God's wisdom to everyday life rather than living by feelings or impulse. Using Proverbs 4, the message teaches that godly wisdom is passed down through spiritual mentors, but each person must take personal responsibility for their devotion by listening to God's Word, guarding their hearts, and being intentional about their actions, speech, and influences. Ultimately, believers are called to walk faithfully with God because living according to His wisdom leads to a blessed life now and prepares them to live as people of eternal life through Jesus.
