WHO IS WISE AND UNDERSTANDING AMONG YOU? This is the question James poses in the third chapter of his letter and the jumping off point for his encouragement and challenge to live by heavenly wisdom and not the wisdom of this world. That's where Pastor Mike is taking us in over the next three episodes starting in this episode of Moments with Mike.

TRUE AUTHORITY COMES NOT FROM A TITLE, BUT FROM WHO AND HOW WE ARE. Jesus taught as one with authority. He wasn't simply reciting dogma or ethical code. He embodied His words; lived them out. Being God, He carried with Him the authority of the Father, empowered by the Spirit and it was recognizable to everyone around Him. The question for us is this: How does that authority inform your life? Pastor Mike opens a story about how even demons recognize the authority of Jesus in this episode of Moments with Mike.

GOD MAY NOT COME WHEN YOU WANT HIM, BUT GOD IS ALWAYS ON TIME. The hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness" has the line "There is no shadow of turning with Thee". While we may fluctuate and our human leaders falter, The One we are called to follow first is steady, faithful, reliable. Are there areas where you have prioritized following something or someone else over follow Jesus? It's not too late. Jesus invites you to turn now and follow Him and nothing else. We look at two pairs of people choosing to do just that in this episode of Moments with Mike.

"THE LORD GETS HIS BEST SOLDIERS OUT OF THE HIGHLANDS OF AFFLICTION." -CHARLES SPURGEON Before any public ministry for Jesus Christ came a time of private testing. Not only that, but temptation by the Satan. Challenge is very real in our lives, but provides in the wilderness a template for facing it. How he does that as well as how it's presented both in Mark and elsewhere is what we're talking about in this episode of Moments with Mike.
