    God's Promises to You: He Will Help

    Being a Chrstian is both easy and hard. Jesus lived a perfect life, died for all sin, and rose for us; there's nothing we need to do to earn heaven. That's the easy part.

In this message, Pastor Mike teaches from the book of Hebrews to remind us of a very important truth: God will help us through the hard parts of being a Christian. We are all seeking rest and relief in our fast paced society and hope for the uncertain days ahead.  There's only one place to go to find what we seek and that is to Jesus.  Kick off 2025 by seeking Jesus every day with a new Time of Grace daily devotional called Daily Promises.  We invite you to look to God in the year ahead to meet your every need and give you strength.   Request your copy with your financial gift to Time of Grace.

    Behind the Series: God's Promises to You

    Next time something difficult or unexpected happens, will you go into a place of panic, uncertainty, and worry? Or is there a beautiful narrow path of peace and hope that you can take? That path is the promises of God—the topic of Pastor Mike's next sermon series, "God's Promises to You." Join Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson as they talk about why it's best to memorize God's promises BEFORE something bad happens, how to keep ourselves free from the love of money, how amazing things can happen when we let ourselves become vulnerable, and the problem with how most people use one of the most popular Bible verses. Pastor Mike mentions the brand-new Time of Grace devotional, "Daily Promises." This easy-to-use, 365-day devotional invites you to look to God in the year ahead to meet your every need and strengthen you for all that life brings. Each inspiring devotion includes promises from God’s Word and practical wisdom to help you shine for Christ no matter your circumstances.

    Confusing Things Christians Say: "God Called Me"

    In the final message of “Confusing Things Christians Say,” we explore what “being called” means. Often, when we have a strong desire to do something good or something that betters society, we tend to say we felt called to do it. But what does that actually mean in the Bible? Pastor Mike explains what being called as a child of God means and why that can be a source of comfort. He also explains why we need to be wary of what we "feel" called to do. We all struggle with loneliness at times.  We'd like to encourage you with Pastor Mike's new book Lonely Less: 6 Steps to a Less Lonely Life.God made you to enjoy a vibrant relationship with him.  This book will give you practical steps to do just that.  Request your copy with your financial gift to Time of Grace.

    Confusing Things Christians Say: "Hate the Sin; Love the Sinner"

    “Hate the sin; love the sinner” is something most Christians have heard or even said. But can that actually work? Our emotions are tied to the people we love while the same emotions are also tied to the sin that we know God detests. It can certainly feel like we’re walking on a narrow road. But, Pastor Mike says, we can walk that narrow road with the help of Jesus, our perfect example. We all struggle with loneliness at times.  We'd like to encourage you with Pastor Mike's new book Lonely Less: 6 Steps to a Less Lonely Life.God made you to enjoy a vibrant relationship with him.  This book will give you practical steps to do just that.  Request your copy with your financial gift to Time of Grace.
