The God Who Answers by Fire (4/6/25)

Too many believers seeking the Bread of Life wind up settling for burnt toast. Pastor Mike says that’s what happens when our devotion is divided between God and… well, anything else. In this message, he talks about a biblical “trial by fire” that teaches us a vital lesson about allegiance to the Lord. Discover how your relationships, your faith, and your senses of purpose and peace can change when you live life wholeheartedly.

From Pasture to Palace (3/30/25)

Ever feel ordinary, overlooked, or stuck waiting for something to happen? Join us as Pastor Mike dives into the remarkable story of David—the shepherd who became a king—and discover how God loves to take ordinary lives and turn them into extraordinary stories. You'll walk away encouraged, inspired, and equipped with practical ways to trust God's timing, embrace your purpose, and anchor your hope in promises that never fail.

Mustard Seed Church (3/2/25)

If you want to accomplish big things, start by thinking small—as small as a mustard seed. Guest speaker John Dixon (Crest Community Church, Riverside) explains why the church's strength lies not in its size or resources but in the radical obedience and love of its members. Discover how small gestures, supercharged with love, can lead to monumental change both in your individual life and in the broader community.

Protection, Presence & Peace (2/16/25)

When Christians pray, we often ask for the Lord’s blessings. This week, Pastor Mike will focus on some of the heavenly blessings we already have, but sometimes don’t experience. He’ll present and unpack key questions that’ll help you diagnose any disconnects and plug in to a promise God made to his people way back in the book of Numbers. You’ll learn to experience God's protective care, feel His comforting presence in your daily life, and find true peace that transcends circumstances. 

The Grace Contagion (2/9/25)

What if holiness wasn’t just about avoiding sin, but about spreading grace? In the Old Testament, impurity multiplied like muddy shoe prints on white carpet, but in Jesus, God engineered a reversal, making holiness contagious. In this message, Pastor Mike will diagnose the way the Lord redefined holiness and taught us to propagate healing and transformation through person-to-person contact. Discover how to become a fully-infected carrier of the “Grace Contagion” as you join us.

Unyielding-The Mystery of the Hardened Heart (1/26/25)

Does God deliberately turn some people against him? After all, the Bible says that the Lord “hardened” Pharaoh’s heart. If that’s the case, where do free will and human responsibility kick in? Pastor Mike will clear up the controversy in this message as he talks about how God can use even human rebellion to accomplish his purposes and outlines ways we can keep our own hearts open to the Lord.

Vayikra

The book of Leviticus (“Vayikra” in the original language) has an undeserved reputation for being difficult and boring. But in this message, Pastor Mike will connect the dots from this ancient text to the words of Jesus, teaching us that God is near, cares for His people, and desires to guide us toward a life of love, justice, and holiness. Discover how to live your life as a “portable Temple” in a world that desperately needs to see our faith in action.

God Has a Name - Many, Actually (1/19/25)

Join Pastor Mike as he unpacks the meaning behind some of the names the Bible uses to describe God. Along the way, you'll uncover a deeper understanding of your own identity, learn to embrace your unique place in the universe, and find a kind of peace so heavenly that it makes no earthly sense.
