Some people think that you have to live a perfect life to have fellowship with God…they believe that the only hope for forgiveness for sins is to live a perfect life. The Bible says that all have sinned, so it’s impossible to live a perfect life. But God has still offered forgiveness for your sins. Today, Pastor Mike will explain the difference between walking in darkness and walking in light. Pastor Mike will help you to understand what you need to do in order to have fellowship with God.

any people have preconceived ideas of who God is…even before they come to know Him as their Lord and Savior. After becoming a Christian, you need to be careful where you go for information, when you’re learning about God’s character. Will you believe that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God…or trust in human ideas and philosophy? Today, Pastor Mike will explain that you don’t need to look anywhere else, except in the Bible, to have an accurate view of God.

One false teaching of many religions is “what the religion can do for the people”. Some people might hope that their religion could give them superior wisdom…or monetary gain. Even as a Christian, it can be really easy to focus on your own problems and how God can help you…instead of putting aside your own desires and focusing on learning about who God is. Today, Pastor Mike will explain that your focus as a Christian must be on God and knowing who He is.

From where does your joy come? Are you looking for worldly experiences to provide you with happiness? As Pastor Mike shares in today's message, everlasting joy comes only from the Lord. All other joy is fleeting, quick to disappear when the next struggle arises. How do you find this complete joy? You turn to Christ and incorporate Him into your everyday experiences. You open your heart to Him and burden Him with your questions. You rest in His presence and contemplate all the promises He has for you.

The Lord provides Christians with many blessings. However, the Christian life is not guaranteed to be easy or absent of hardships. As Pastor Mike shares in today's message, you can still experience joy no matter your circumstances. In a world filled with sin and evil, you have the power to push back. The Lord will provide you with the strength to resist the evil one. Our fullness of joy comes despite living in a deprived world. The Lord's blessings are all around you, and His joy is bottomless.

One way to know if you've been saved is to look at how often you share the good news of salvation with others. As Pastor Mike shares in today's message, why would you want others to miss out on experiencing a relationship with the Lord? You've likely experienced freedom from sin. Or you are living your life with a guilt-free conscious thanks to your relationship with Christ. There are others out there trapped in their sin, living with guilt and shame. You can offer the solution, the way out. What a great gift to share!

One trap Satan sets is that of habitual sin. A stronghold that sucks you in and doesn't let go. But as Pastor Mike shares in today's message, with Christ, you have the power and strength to overcome any sin. This is a beautiful blessing from the Lord. Being trapped in habitual sin is overwhelming. Thanks to Christ's redemption, you can be set free. Are you accessing the power available to you in Christ’s name? Have you stumbled into a sin you need freedom from? Call upon the Lord and be set free.

Accepting Christ isn't a leap into the dark, hoping that you'll land on some truth. As Pastor Mike encourages you in his message today, once you've accepted Christ, the Lord will provide evidence that He is active in your life. Everyone has a different experience. Some may hear the voice of the Lord, others may feel His presence, and still, others will experience a miraculous act. No matter the experience, you will know that the Lord is alive in your heart. If you are questioning His existence today, quiet your heart and listen for Him.

If you came to Christ later in your life, you likely had a different way of thinking before knowing Christ. A World View is much different than a Christian View. As Pastor Mike shares in today's message, you put aside the flesh’s desires once you are born again. Sin and evil may not have bothered you previously, but now that your eyes have been opened, you can see how deprived our world is. This new view should also create a desire in you to share Christ with others so that their eyes can be open too.

Many people question the Christian faith. How does one verify Scripture as truth? In today's message with Pastor Mike, he shares how the first four books of the New Testament were written by four different individuals yet contain many similar stories. Four witness statements are more substantial than one, especially when they are consistent. Secondly, we know many of the prophecies in the Bible that have come true. We can also know the Bible is valid because of the many lives changed due to its teachings.
