All Things New: Living As a Child of God, Part 1

All Things New: Living As a Child of God, Part 1

September 12, 2021 Mike Minter Sermons Galatians, Romans

Many of the fundamental truths of the Christian faith become diluted over time. But grasping those basic concepts is crucial in helping us live out what God says is true of us.

Unwise: How to Lose at the Comparison Game

Unwise: How to Lose at the Comparison Game

November 19, 2017 Mike Minter Sermons 2 Corinthians, Colossians

Comparison makes idols out of what we don’t have.

No Greater Love, Part 2: Love Your Neighbor

No Greater Love, Part 2: Love Your Neighbor

September 17, 2017 Mike Minter Sermons Galatians, Romans

The more you love Jesus, the more you will love people. The more you love people, the less in love you will be with the world.

Watch / Listen
Proverbs: A Life of Wisdom, Part 9

Proverbs: A Life of Wisdom, Part 9

March 5, 2017 Mike Minter Sermons 1 Samuel, Proverbs, Psalms

Envy and jealousy stem from idolatry. Our idolatry is our identity. But our true identity is the fact that we are pilgrims in this world, that we are forgiven, and that we have eternal life in Christ.

Proverbs: A Life of Wisdom, Part 7

Proverbs: A Life of Wisdom, Part 7

February 19, 2017 Jason VanDorsten Sermons Proverbs

Lord, let me view my life through the lens of Your Word, so that, whether I have a lot or a little, it would be clear that Jesus is the Hero of my story.

Matters of the Heart: Lessons from Counseling

Matters of the Heart: Lessons from Counseling

September 25, 2016 Paul Goodnight Sermons James, Proverbs, Psalms

James: Living Out Our Faith, Part 2

James: Living Out Our Faith, Part 2

September 20, 2015 Mike Minter Sermons James

When driven by our desires, we fill our insecurities with things that only wind up creating more insecurities. The ultimate desire that must replace all others is to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.

Remember, Part 1: The Consequences of Forgetfulness

Remember, Part 1: The Consequences of Forgetfulness

June 8, 2015 Mike Meyers Sermons Deuteronomy, Judges

The blessing of remembrance is the enjoyment of God and all His benefits, but when we choose to forget God, there are relational and generational consequences. Only in Christ do we have the power to remember as we should.

Philippians: A Journey Toward Humble Joy, Part 10

Philippians: A Journey Toward Humble Joy, Part 10

January 13, 2014 Mike Minter Sermons Hebrews, Philippians

The eager expectation of eternity is one of the great neglected truths of our day.

Taking God Seriously, Part 2

Taking God Seriously, Part 2

November 25, 2012 Mike Minter Sermons Jonah

Jonah needed some dramatic encounters with God’s all-knowing, all-powerful presence to take Him seriously – including being swallowed alive by a great fish. Such divine discipline is painful, but God can use it to bring us closer to Him and to prepare us for greater ministry.

Life Will Be Better When… Part 2

Life Will Be Better When… Part 2

October 9, 2011 Mike Minter Sermons

The future “whens” of life are a temporary fix to an eternal problem – as soon as one “when” is realized, another pops up to take its place. If we do not keep future “whens” in check, they will become idols and keep us from present joy in the Lord.

Watch / Listen
Moses: A Reluctant Leader, Part 6

Moses: A Reluctant Leader, Part 6

September 4, 2011 Mike Minter Sermons Exodus

Pastor Mike takes a look at the anatomy of deception as we continue our study on the life of Moses. We lie because, deep down, we believe the benefits of lying outweigh the consequences of telling the truth. Lies cover idols, and we must be ruthless in weeding them out of our hearts and mouths.

Addiction, Part 3: Cause, Consequence, Cure

Addiction, Part 3: Cause, Consequence, Cure

February 28, 2011 Mike Minter Sermons James, Psalms

In the last part of our Addiction series, Pastor Mike teaches through Psalm 115 and looks at the cause, consequences, and cure for addictive behavior. Addiction is a matter of worship, and you become like what you worship. What hope is there for the addicted?

Watch / Listen
Addiction, Part 2: Addictive Behaviors

Addiction, Part 2: Addictive Behaviors

February 20, 2011 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis, Romans

Human beings have a built-in bent toward addictive behavior. Pastor Mike takes look at two men in Scripture – Esau and Haman – and the destructive power of addictive behavior in their lives. Whether we need instant gratification, recognition or other addictive behaviors, these things are only symptoms of a deeper idolatry. Our idols dictate behavior and drive addictions.

Addiction, Part 1: The Nature of Addiction

Addiction, Part 1: The Nature of Addiction

February 13, 2011 Mike Minter Sermons Proverbs, Romans

Addiction is slavery to any sinful behavior or habit in direct conflict to the revealed will of God. Popular culture tends to label addiction as a disease, but this distinction must be made – you catch a disease; you choose an addition. We are not victims of some random outside influence; addiction is simply the result of the eyes of a man never being satisfied. It is a desire – even a godly desire – that is out of control. It is, in essence, idolatry.
