AnaPauo: A Beautiful Pause

Lame In Lo-DeBar

Can you be a worshipper God desires if you never sing a single song?  Is there any hope for those of us who just don't connect with contemporary worship and struggle with the whole experiential thing?  Today Mike addresses what worship is and how the greatest act of worship is always the riskiest.  Check us out at anapauoministries.com

God doesn't want your fear!

So what does it mean "to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ?"  (2 Cor. 10:5)  In this 30 minute lesson, Mike looks at the problem of modern-day rules and regulations and instead challenges us to allow temptations to lead us into intimacy with the heart of God.

Embracing Our Sexual Temptations

John 14:1-4 is typically one we hear when we're at a memorial service.  We are reminded Jesus is preparing a room for when we die and spend eternity with him.  What if that "room" was not meant to be a place for us in the future but for us today?  Listen to Mike share how Jesus and the Father desire for you to be present with them here and now.  Check us out at www.anapauoministries.com
