Trust Me: Triple Bypass - Pastor Mike shares his journey through triple bypass heart surgery. The surgery itself was easy because he slept through it, but the recovery brought dark and lonely days—especially during the nighttime hours in the hospital. The deeper lesson was submission: surrendering fear, uncertainty, and control to God, trusting that He is still leading even in the darkest moments. 

Rejoice! with Pastor Robin Bjornson - Pastor Robin reminds us that Scripture repeatedly calls us to rejoice because it helps refocus our attention on God, reminds us of His salvation, provision, and protection, and keeps our emotions in the right place. While emotions are important, they should not lead our lives. As we rejoice in the Lord, our hearts are steadied, our perspective is renewed, and we are better able to love others with God's patient, enduring love. 

A Very Bad Day: Why? with Pastor Mike: Bad days raise two questions: “Did God do this?” and “Why did He allow it?” Both come from shaky theology—God isn’t the author of every tragedy, and His promises are general and ultimately eternal, not guarantees of ease now. Scripture shows an open world where God reigns and intervenes, yet events can come from five sources: God, the devil, our choices, evil people, and life in a broken world. Our response: reject fatalism, seek refuge in the Most High, and trust Him amid mystery.

Remember - Memorial Day with Pastor Mike: This Memorial Day, Pastor Mike reminded us of the deep connection between remembrance and gratitude. We paused to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedoms—individuals who lived with courage, served with honor, and made the ultimate sacrifice. 

To Know and Introduce Him Part V with Pastor Mike: Pastor Mike reminds us that God is not distant, harsh, or impossible to know. He is loving, patient, and constantly drawing us to Himself. He does not delight in punishment but rejoices in repentance. His invitation remains open—He longs for a deep, transformative relationship with each of us.
