Teaching by Speaker: Mike Minter
What Do You Think God Thinks About You?, Part 3 – Shame
Shame comes from not meeting a cultural standard. What shame do you bear in your soul that would make you feel “naked and ashamed” if people knew about it? What would it look like to apply the Gospel to that shame?
Watch / ListenWhat Do You Think God Thinks About You?, Part 2 – Guilt
Guilt comes when we violate the moral code of God and having no sense of forgiveness. Guilt has been ingrained in humanity since the fall in Genesis 3, and mankind has been trying to hide ever since.
ListenWhat Do You Think God Thinks About You?, Part 1
In this series, Pastor Mike Minter will deal with the subject of the sense of guilt and shame we often feel when we assume what God thinks of us. Freedom from this is found in the Gospel, where we have certainty in regards to how God views us.
ListenWhat the Bible Says About Itself – Part 3
The Bible is a book of revelation and every time we open it, we go into the unknown. Pastor Mike finishes “What the Bible Says About Itself” by answering this question: How does the Bible speak directly to us, and how do we apply it?
ListenWhat the Bible Says About Itself – Part 2
Exegesis and hermeneutical interpretation can all be useful tools in getting into the Word – but we need to know what the Word itself tells us regarding how to understand it. Pastor Mike gives ten guiding principles from Scripture for Scripture.
ListenWhat the Bible Says About Itself – Part 1
Amongst the many church activities and programs available to Christians, one thing often missing is teaching people how to feed themselves from the Word of God. Pastor Mike begins a 3-part series on the whys and hows of delving into the Word, which is a gift of revelation from God.
ListenYou Be the Judge, Part 4: Judging Grey Areas
There are many topics that Scripture does not expressly address, certain “disputable matters” that lie in the realms of conscience, wisdom and personal conviction. How do we judge righteously in these grey areas?
ListenYou Be the Judge, Part 3: Judging Righteously
The goal of righteous judgment is to humbly seek the restoration of our brothers and sisters to the glory of the Father. We would be wise to remember that a speck in our brothers eye could be a log in our own.
ListenYou Be the Judge, Part 2: Consequences of Judging
We often pass judgement in an unrighteous way when we don’t have all the information – which makes us fools, according to Scripture. Unrighteous judgement comes from jealousy; jealousy comes from idolatry.
