Time of Grace With Pastor Mike Novotny ·

2023/11/26

To be grateful for the hard times in your life is difficult. Pastor Mike asks: Do you think it’s possible that you could only get to certain places spiritually if you had first passed through the difficulties of pain, suffering, and hardship?

How to Talk About Jesus 101

Time of Grace With Pastor Mike Novotny ·

2023/11/05

If the good news about Jesus is so good, then why don't Christians share more about it? Maybe it's because we feel inadequate and don't know what to say. Or we are terrified of how our friends and family would react. Pastor Mike can relate. And that's why in today's message, he opens up the Bible to see how the greatest sharer of faith, the apostle Paul, teaches us to talk about Jesus. In just a few short verses, Paul gives us a crash course on how to share the Good News with our friends

The Bible is challenging to read. There are weird words and weird names in it. There’s an Old Testament and a New Testament. There are prophecies and prophets. And if you’re new to the Bible, if you’ve never deeply studied it, it can leave you confused. That's why in this message, Pastor Mike helps us learn how to approach the Bible.

2023/09/10

Is it okay if couples—who aren't married but love one another—live together? In our 21st-century culture, it's not unusual for couples to look for certainty in compatibility by living together first; not to mention doing so also saves on rent, bills, and expenses. But what does God say? Does the Bible actually prohibit cohabitation? Pastor Mike wrestles with this real and relevant topic by asking two foundational questions: Does living together make us happy? Does it make us holy?If you

Love. Some define love as speaking the truth, no matter how hard it is to hear. Others define it as acceptance, approval, and applause. Love, according to the apostle Paul, is actually both tough and tender—but love is not equal parts of both.
