  • We desperately need to let theology tell us how to feel and think when we are suffering. "Glory in tribulation"

    Truly a man of God. Many people are not sent rather they went. No doubt Mike is one of those sent (appointed) by God to be a voice in this generation. Lord keep raising up leaders that are aligned with your heart.

    Oh man, how I needed this. I was feeling terrible over something I'm going through again, so I walked from my room to school (I'm in University) because my WiFi wasn't strong enough. I couldn't read the Bible on my own right now, so I really wanted to watch a sermon, anything. I'm glad I watched this one. Thank you Mike, I'm not in a rush to get better now, I'm going to endure this season in my life, God is good and purposeful. He can take away our problems instantly, but if He does not it's not because He can't but because there's a lesson. Thank you.

    Pastor Mike, I absolutely needed this sermon today. Thank you! I’m so glad it came up on my suggested videos today. Our family is going through a tribulation and I feel so at peace. I almost felt like I was being naive but your message was a clear message from God.

    I've always understood "Too heavenly minded to be any earthly good" to mean "loudly praying and responding to everything with 'praise the Lord' while not doing any tangible good for anyone else.

    That’s where I am. Suffering in trials atm and I know the theology but it’s the battle of heart change that I feel only God can give me. I’m willing with all my heart but I need Christ to reset me and give me another empowerment of the HS. 😢💕🙏🏻

    I have been doing study along with your videos on the Bible. The thing I really like is that you show it by going to scripture, not just your own versions. I admit that every sermon, I write down the scriptures used so that when home, I can read the entire thing myself to see it myself. I am so blessed to say that the church I am fortunate to attend is a Bible preaching, Bible only type of church. That's why your style of teaching is so good. One thing, in this video, at the end, you mentioned the CS Lewis "Pilgrims Progress" type of philosophical progress, I listened and relistened and couldn't catch title. I would like to listen to it. What was the name of it. Thanks and God Bless.

    I’ve been in the face of adversity and still had a sense of joy because I knew the Lord was in control.

    For five weeks now I’ve been laid aside and had the oppotunity to follow your and other great preachers. Blessing in pain this is

    Hay Pastor Mike I’m going trough the book of Romans with you ...today is 3/20/20, what a powerful teaching as the world is going through the COVID19 Virus. I hold these truths in chapter 5 dear to my heart but hearing them really rekindled what I know to be true as we experience this lockdown through-out our nation and the world. It may be a good idea to refer to this teaching for brothers and sisters to listen to on one of your life streams. May the Lord continue to bless you, your family and your ministry!

    For the past year or so I've been going through trials that have been very hard for me and I'd completely despair and cry to God for help like my life depended on it. Then God would come with his grace and I would be so relieved and thankful. But then I would think, God is faithful, why am I despairing like that?? God is good! God is full of compassion! And I would feel bad about it -- my reaction to trials. As time went on and I went through trials regularly, I continued to react the same way, but each time sooner and sooner I would realize how I reacted and feel bad about it and I realized that I just kept doing it over and over again... I was like, man! God, why do I keep reacting this way?! I want to grow through these trials but I just suck... And now a year later, the moment of despair and the moment of clarity are starting to overlap and I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to remember that God is faithful while I'm in the trial! It's not perfect lol but still God is working on me and I'm grateful even though it's been gruesome at times lol. Praise God and God bless all of you in your trials. ♥ Hope in him.

    I have been watching your videos for a while and let me say they are much appreciated. Thank you for Sharing your knowledge and ability to articulate the study of scripture as you do. I was happy to find that you did this verse by verse study on Romans. What a blessing! I do find myself rebuked in the area of persevering in ministry in a church. Thank you. I believe the Lord wanted me to hear it.

    Our heavenly bodies will resemble those of Christ, Moses and Elijah at the rapture. Also like Christ was able to eat/appear in rooms etc but WASN'T A GHOST after His resurrection, so will we be in heaven.

    Hi Mike, thank you, thank you for your teachings! it's been helping me so much in my bible studies which is new for me (about 6 months). Theology is what I was lacking in my Christian life, since digging into scripture, I came to learn how worldly I was and that I had been living as a Carnal Christian since I got saved and as a result I felt no peace with God, in fact I would turn away from Him at times due to the fears that He was disappointed in me like you said here (I felt immense conviction). I really needed to hear this today, it definitely helped me, especially the part about a ceasefire with God and no peace with Him. God bless you Brother, please keep up the great work you do, you're touching lives far and wide with your teachings! :)
