Next time something difficult or unexpected happens, will you go into a place of panic, uncertainty, and worry? Or is there a beautiful narrow path of peace and hope that you can take?

That path is the promises of God—the topic of Pastor Mike's next sermon series, "God's Promises to You." Join Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson as they talk about why it's best to memorize God's promises BEFORE something bad happens, how to keep ourselves free from the love of money, how amazing things can happen when we let ourselves become vulnerable, and the problem with how most people use one of the most popular Bible verses.

Pastor Mike mentions the brand-new Time of Grace devotional, "Daily Promises." This easy-to-use, 365-day devotional invites you to look to God in the year ahead to meet your every need and strengthen you for all that life brings. Each inspiring devotion includes promises from God’s Word and practical wisdom to help you shine for Christ no matter your circumstances.
