Stay the Course: Is Religion a Crutch?

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMay 18, 2021 Leave a comment0

Is religion a crutch?

Stay the Course: Is God Obligated to Do All He is Able?

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMay 13, 2021 Leave a comment0

Is God obligated to do everything He is able to do?

Stay the Course: Becoming People of Encouragement

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMay 4, 2021 Leave a comment0

Are you more discouraged with life than encouraged by life? Bear the burdens of others by becoming a person of encouragement.

Stay the Course: Simple Answers to Complex Questions

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseApril 27, 2021 Leave a comment0

Can God create a rock so large He couldn’t lift it? How can you trust the Bible? Hasn’t science proven the Bible isn’t true? We all come across difficult questions, but often the answers are simpler than we think.

Stay the Course: Eight Questions I Ask Married Couples

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseApril 13, 2021 Leave a comment0

Your spouse is likely harboring things they’d love to correct in you. We’ll admit to the surface stuff, but are you willing to go deeper? Stepping into their world with open, humble dialogue is key to cultivating a marriage that thrives.

Stay the Course: Dealing With Sin

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseApril 1, 2021 Leave a comment0

You can’t just “stop sinning.” And with sin, there’s always something lurking behind the surface. Ask the Lord to examine your heart. Once you determine the root cause, then you can apply the eternal perspectives of the gospel.

Stay the Course: The Trajectory of Sin

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 26, 2021 Leave a comment0

We often think we have a handle on our sin, but Scripture shows us a different picture. It may look tame on the surface, but what lies beneath? Sin is always trying to take us further than we ever though we’d go.

Stay the Course: Wisdom, Part 9

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 19, 2021 Leave a comment0

Be wise by recognizing that human pride is the greatest barrier to true dialogue. Have a humble, teachable spirit and set aside your pride.

Stay the Course: Wisdom, Part 8

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 17, 2021 Leave a comment0

Be wise by navigating adversarial dialogue with civil words. Gracious words, seasoned with kindness, will tear down barriers.

Stay the Course: Wisdom, Part 7

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 15, 2021 Leave a comment0

Be wise in dialogue by determining to prepare through prayer — especially when the dialogue is adversarial.

Stay the Course: Wisdom, Part 6

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 12, 2021 Leave a comment0

Wisdom in dialogue is determining to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger (James 1:19). When you enter into dialogue, put your expectations aside. Expectations are an invitation to disappointment.

Stay the Course: Wisdom, Part 5

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 10, 2021 Leave a comment0

Wisdom in dialogue seeks to learn the other person’s story. Until you understand someone’s story, you’ll likely have more judgement than empathy.

Stay the Course: Wisdom, Part 4

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 8, 2021 Leave a comment0

Terminology today tends to be a moving target, so genuine dialogue is key. Wisdom seeks to understand before seeking to be understood so as not to perpetuate misunderstanding.

Stay the Course: Wisdom, Part 3

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 5, 2021 Leave a comment0

How do we apply wisdom? Start with the Word. Understand how to discern between things you can change, and things you can’t or you’ll default to what is wise in your own eyes.

Stay the Course: Wisdom, Part 2

Mike MinterPastor Mike, Resources, Stay the CourseMarch 3, 2021 Leave a comment0

Where do we get wisdom? Start by fearing God. Wisdom doesn’t guarantee you won’t have problems in life, only that you won’t be the cause.
