No Compromise Radio - NoCo (Series) PodcastEternal AssuranceThe main theme of this No-Co Radio episode is comfort, specifically regarding the security and assurance found in Romans 8:1: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". Pastor Mike emphasizes that a believer's justified standing before God is permanent, secured by Christ's perfect righteousness and finished work. This strong language of "no condemnation" means it is "impossible" for a Christian to be condemned, as all sins—past, present, and future—have been paid for, providing immediate assurance for both living and facing death.

No Compromise Radio - NoCo (Series) PodcastLooking for Jesus in JobPastor Mike discusses how to read the Bible by using the Book of Job as a guide. He explains that since the Book of Job is believed to be the first book written, it can be a "decoder" for understanding the rest of the Bible through the questions it raises. Mike proposes that the Book of Job foreshadows three key questions that are answered throughout the Bible: Does God forgive sin? Is there a mediator? And, is there a resurrection? He argues that these questions, prompted by Job's suffering, lead readers to look for Jesus in every part of the...

No Compromise Radio PodcastDo vs DoneIn this episode of No-Co Radio, Pastor Mike discusses the theological concepts of “Law and Gospel” drawing on the works of Martin Luther and other theologians. Pastor Mike explains that the "law" represents a command, something you must “do”, and serves to show unbelievers their sin and need for a Savior. In contrast, the "gospel" is the good news of what has been “done” through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He argues that understanding this distinction is key to answering core Christian questions, such as "How do you know you're a Christian?" and "What is the essence of Christian...

He recounts a story from Luke 9:49, where John tells Jesus they tried to stop someone from casting out demons because "he does not follow with us". Mike uses this as a starting point to argue that Christians should rejoice when Christ is proclaimed, even by those with different theological views, such as those from Calvary Chapel or Arminian denominations.

No Compromise Radio PodcastScripture\'s Sufficiency Over MysticismPastor Mike focuses on the dangers of mysticism within evangelicalism, which he considers a significant problem. Mike defines mysticism as receiving God's truth from internal, subjective sources like feelings, intuition, and personal revelations rather than from the external source of the Bible. He argues that human nature is totally depraved since Adam's fall, making internal impressions and feelings unreliable and untrustworthy. Mike champions the sufficiency and authority of Scripture, citing passages like 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Psalm 19 to support the idea that the Bible is the only true guide for life and godliness.  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VPHcLmoSPaA Produced/E...
