Behind the Series: What Is Love? Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

How do you even tackle a subject as big as love, especially when considering that God is love?

Pastor Mike and Amber give us a sneak peek at August's TV message series, "What Is Love?" Pastor Mike and Amber talk about whether love should be tough or tender—with Pastor Mike and Amber each revealing whether they are tough or tender. Spoiler for Amber: she has likely sent camp kids to therapy. The two take a deep dive into love, including showing love to those who disagree with you, whether our loves are ordered correctly, and how to love "those" people.

"What Is Love?" kicks off this Sunday, August 6.

What's the Point? Keeping My God Connection Jul 09, 2023

Show notes

Let's be honest. It's too easy for us to forget God. When times are good, we're lost in the blur of blessings and forget about him. When times are bad, our hearts focus on the pain and we forget about him. So the big question is: how do we remember God? As Pastor Mike finishes teaching from the book of Esther, we discover—with great specificity and practicality—how we can always remember God and stay connected to him constantly .

What's the Point? What to Do When I Fall Short Jul 02, 2023

Show notes

Many of us claim to follow Jesus, but so often we fall short. We have the potential to love, to forgive, not to worry, to trust in God, not to fear cancer, to stand out in the crowd. But too often we fall short of that potential. So what can we do? Continuing through the book of Esther, Pastor Mike encourages us with these three things to remember as we live our lives for Jesus.
