Pastor Mike Stevens

Welcome to our latest video where Pastor Mike explores the profound and challenging truths found in Matthew 7:13-14, “The Narrow and Wide Gates.” This passage presents a counter-cultural message that is difficult to accept but crucial to understand. Let's delve into what these verses mean for us today and how we can respond.

Pastor Mike discusses the stark reality that many find destruction rather than life, but highlights how we can make a difference by living according to God’s Word. Inspired by Paul’s transformation, he emphasizes taking responsibility to pray, get involved, serve, and give, moving beyond consumer Christianity to active faith.

Understanding God’s redemption plan and the necessity of free will, Pastor Mike explores the importance of trusting churches that bear good fruit and being discerning without judgment. He encourages self-evaluation as true disciples and living a life full of the Spirit’s fruit.

Finally, Pastor Mike considers the possibility that Matthew 7:13-14 applies not only to the afterlife but also to our current lives, offering a path to a fuller, Spirit-filled life.
