Time of Grace With Pastor Mike Novotny

There isn't a "right choice" when it comes to education for Christians. This message explores the tension many families feel—wanting to protect faith while also preparing children for the real world. Through honest stories and biblical truth, Pastor Mike explores what it means to be in the world but not of it, no matter the classroom. This sermon challenges you to think deeply, live intentionally, and prioritize what matters most in shaping a lasting faith.

Politics is loud, divided, and everywhere—but following Jesus calls for something different. In this message, Pastor Mike cuts through the noise and focuses on what actually matters: how Christians show up in a culture that’s constantly choosing sides. Instead of getting swept up in the chaos, Jesus invites you to live with a kind of conviction that stands out.

How do we get past life's hurdles? The answer to our shame, sin, and weakness is in the Bible.

In the final message of “Confusing Things Christians Say,” explore what “being called” means. Often, when we have a strong desire to do something good or something that betters society, we tend to say we felt called to do it. But what does that actually mean in the Bible? Pastor Mike explains what being called as a child of God means and why that can be a source of comfort. He also explains why we need to be wary of what we "feel" called to do.

“Hate the sin; love the sinner” is something most Christians have heard or even said. But can that actually work? Our emotions are tied to the people we love while the same emotions are also tied to the sin that we know God detests. It can certainly feel like we’re walking on a narrow road. But, Pastor Mike says, we can walk that narrow road with the help of Jesus, our perfect example.

There's something we can take part in today—but it involves a confusing word called "fellowship." And fellowship requires work.
