To Know and Introduce Him Part III

To Know and Introduce Him Part XIII with Pastor Mike: This week Pastor Mike reminds us Jesus gave us a clear commission: Go, make disciples, baptize, and teach (Matt. 28:19–20). Salvation is through Him alone (John 3:16, Acts 4:12), and we’re called to reach all nations. In Acts 1:8, we’re told to be His witnesses—starting locally and going global. Be ready at all times (2 Tim. 4:2, 1 Pet. 3:15) because people will believe through our lives (John 17). We are the salt and light of the world (Matt. 5:13–16)—let’s live like it.

David and God with Pastor Mike: Pastor Mike’s message today reminded us that we all fall short, but God is always ready to forgive. He shared four key observations from David’s story: we often see others’ mistakes more easily than our own (v.5), we need people like Nathan to speak truth into our lives (v.7), our choices have consequences (v.10, 14), and God isn’t eager to punish but eager to forgive (v.13). Though David sinned, he responded with repentance, and from his example we learn five powerful lessons: he got up, cleaned up, worshipped, returned to his responsibilities, and comforted others (v.20–24). When we mess up, we can still choose to move forward, trust God’s grace, and be a source of strength to those around us.

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. Drawing from Psalm 33:12a, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,” Pastor Mike challenged us to consider what it means for our nation to seek God's blessing. 

Chase the Delight, Not the Dream with Pastor Ben Romportl: Pastor Ben asked two key questions: Are you delighting in Jesus? and Do you long to be in His presence? We are created to delight, and what we delight in shapes our identity and desires (Ecclesiastes 3:11, Matthew 6:21). Misplaced delight leads to fragile identity, but delighting in God brings stability and purpose (Psalm 1:2-3). True delight in Jesus transforms what we want (Psalm 37:4), reminding us that God is our Father, not our servant (Isaiah 55:8-9).  Don’t chase the dream—chase the delight found only in Him.

Mother's Day with Annie Haseltine: Join Pastor Mike and his mom, Annie, for a special Mother’s Day conversation! This week, they’ll talk about Annie’s life growing up, what it was like raising Pastor Mike and his three brothers, and how Jesus transformed her heart and story along the way. Don’t miss this heartfelt tribute to motherhood!

To Know and Introduce Him Part XII with Pastor Mike: 

This week, Pastor Mike reminded us that the core of our faith is simple but challenging: love God and love people. Loving God means giving Him our whole heart, mind, and life—not part-time devotion (Mark 12:28–30; Matthew 10:37–39). He asks, “Do you love Me?” Loving people means showing compassion in action. The Good Samaritan (Luke 10) shows us how—by opening our eyes, hearts, hands, schedules, and wallets to those in need. Real love, as taught in Isaiah 1 and 1 Corinthians 13, is just and selfless. Jesus calls us to love as He did (John 13:34–35). Let’s live it out this week.
