Oct 21, 2018At War with SatanSeries: The Abundant LifeIn Revelation 12, we see the Dragon (Satan) and his angels at war with Michael the Archangel and his angels. Satan lost that war and was cast out of Heaven. His full-time job now is trying to keep us out of Heaven and trying to destroy Christians, so they cannot spread God’s Word to others.

Oct 7, 2018Are You Listening?Series: The Abundant LifeThe parable of the sower is about hearing the Word of God. It discusses those whose hearts are hardened against God’s Word, those who are weak and stumble under the weight of tribulations and persecutions, those who are unfruitful because they let the cares of this world become more important, and those who bear fruit. Matthew 13: 1-23 (NKJV)

Sep 16, 2018Learning to Use Your Left Hand In the MinistrySeries: The Abundant LifeMost people who are right-handed seldom use their left hand, other than to support the right hand, because it is uncomfortable. In a similar fashion, people often hang on to certain traditions in the church because they’ve always done it that way and it is comfortable. However, we run into trouble if the traditions become more important than God’s Word or they replace the Gospel as with the Pharisees in the Gospel of Mark. Mark 7: 1-13 (NKJV)
- Sep 9, 2018Liabilities in the Abundant Life
Sep 9, 2018Liabilities in the Abundant LifeSeries: The Abundant LifeWhat does the Abundant Life look like? If we think of the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5: 22-23), we see Love, Joy, and Peace. This sounds great and we definitely want those things in our lives. But as we continue to read in Galatians, the next fruit is Longsuffering. Longsuffering can mean several things, including trials and tribulations which Pastor Mike refers to as liabilities. God allows these liabilities in our lives to allow His purpose to be fulfilled. 2 Corinthians 11: 23-28; James 1: 2-4; Romans 5: 3-4; Psalm 40: 1-3; 2 Corinthians 4: 15-17; Ruth 1: 1-22; Ruth 4: 21-22 (NKJV)

Sep 2, 2018Christ Is In YouSeries: No SeriesColossians speaks to a mystery that once was hidden and now is revealed. That mystery is that, when you become a Christian, Christ dwells within you. This becomes our motivation to share the Gospel with others and to realize the Gospel is meant for all peoples on Earth. We should never discriminate when it comes to sharing God’s Word with others. Colossians 1: 24-29; Matthew 10: 5-6; Ephesians 2: 11-19; Romans 1: 16 (NKJV)
- Aug 26, 2018The Tongue
Aug 26, 2018The TongueSeries: The Abundant LifeRomans says to present ourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and our members as instruments of righteousness to God. The tongue is a little member of our body, but the Bible tells us it is an unruly evil, full of poison. The tongue is the organ by which the heart expresses itself and nowhere is faith more visible than by our speech. Romans 6:13; James 3:5-12 (NKJV)
- Aug 19, 2018Slave vs Servant & Ownership
Aug 19, 2018Slave vs Servant & OwnershipSeries: The Abundant LifeIn Philippians, Paul refers to himself as a bond-servant (slave). The difference between being a slave of Christ and a servant of Christ is control. Servants can choose how they wish to serve, but a slave cannot for he/she is owned by God. The word slave denotes that there is a Master. Psalm 24 tells us that everything and everyone belongs to God. Brother Mike expounds on this idea of slave vs. servant and God’s ownership of all things. Philippians 1:1; Psalm 24:1 (NKJV)

Aug 5, 2018Being PositiveSeries: The Abundant LifeBeing positive is not always easy. We are not commanded to direct our feelings because these cannot be controlled directly, only indirectly by controlling our will and our minds. If we are going to effective for God, we have to be positive. To have a positive outlook, we must trust God and be in God’s will. (Mark 4: 35-40 (NKJV)

Jul 29, 2018Must Be Right To Do RightSeries: The Abundant LifeAs we have discussed, the Abundant Life involves Justification, Substitution, and Consecration. These three areas create friction in our lives so we can walk with God. They enable us to “be right” with God and lead to Reconciliation, which enables us to “do right”. These four areas give our lives purpose. Today we learn how reconciliation helps us to “do right”. Galatians 6:; John 21 1-25; John 13: 37-38; Matthew 26: 31-35 (NKJV)
