Being a Chrstian is both easy and hard. Jesus lived a perfect life, died for all sin, and rose for us; there's nothing we need to do to earn heaven. That's the easy part. But loving God above everything can seem difficult. In this message, Pastor Mike teaches from the book of Hebrews to remind us of a very important truth: God will help us through the hard parts of being a Christian.
We are all seeking rest and relief in our fast paced society and hope for the uncertain days ahead. There's only one place to go to find what we seek and that is to Jesus. Kick off 2025 by seeking Jesus every day with a new Time of Grace daily devotional called Daily Promises. We invite you to look to God in the year ahead to meet your every need and give you strength.

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.

Sometimes we may feel as though we're not blessed financially. Even though we live in a prosperous age, many factors determine the kinds of financial struggles we have. In the first message of this new series, "God's Promises to You," Pastor Mike explains a true and comforting promise of God. Namely, despite any struggle we have, God will be there for us.

In the final message of “Confusing Things Christians Say,” we 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.
We all struggle with loneliness at times. We'd like to encourage you with Pastor Mike's new book Lonely Less: 6 Steps to a Less Lonely Life.

“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.

It's been said that taking 10,000 steps a day is beneficial for our physical health. And just like walking physically, we walk spiritually too. In this message, Pastor Mike unpacks three essential connections between our daily, physical steps and our spiritual walk with God. He also provides encouragement for aligning our paths with God’s promises, because by walking with God, we can live fulfilling lives.

Loneliness affects our personal health. But what can we do to stop this loneliness epidemic when work is online and relationships take the form of texts and social media? There's something we can take part in today—but it is a confusing word called "fellowship." And fellowship requires work. In this message, Pastor Mike explains what kind of work goes into the meaningful Christian relationships we define as “fellowship.”

"It's a relationship, not a religion” is something often said in Christian communities. But is it possible to live somewhere in the middle of those two words? Can we be religious and seek a relationship with God at the same time? Pastor Mike teaches that the two words truly mingle and that being a Christian means you are a part of a “religious relationship.”

Even though there are meaningful, rich, and even profound sayings in the church, sometimes they do not make sense. Understanding them comes before appreciating them. And that is what Pastor Mike will help us do in this series, “Confusing things Christians Say.” In this episode, Pastor Mike outlines what the phrase “born again” means, from repenting and believing in God to having our very own spot in heaven.
