Pastor Mike discusses how to read the Old Testament with a sense of anticipation for Jesus as the Ultimate King and Messiah. He then presents an outline for the show, which includes looking at the need for a Messiah, examining potential false Messiahs, and finally, focusing on Jesus as the true Messiah. He uses Genesis 3 as a starting point, highlighting the sin of Adam and Eve and the subsequent need for a savior. Throughout the Old Testament, he points to figures like Cain, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Samson, and David, all of whom fail to be the promised Messiah because of their sins. Pastor Mike concludes by asserting that reading the Old Testament with this anticipation makes the arrival of Jesus in the New Testament all the more joyful, as he is the one who triumphs where others failed, ultimately fulfilling God's promises.

In an episode of No-Co Radio, Pastor Mike introduces a concept he calls "alphabet theology," which involves thinking through God's attributes from A to Z to properly reframe problems. Mike emphasizes the importance of "gazing on the Lord" rather than problems. He focuses on three specific attributes based on the acronym MCG: God's might, His care, and His grace, using verses from 1 Peter chapter 5 to illustrate each point. He argues that a proper understanding of these attributes can help individuals humbly accept their circumstances, cast their anxieties on God, and trust in His provision, even when facing difficult situations like job loss, family illness, or death. He highlights that God is strong enough to sustain people through their trials and that He cares enough to do so.

In 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 Christianity?". He emphasizes that the answers lie not in human actions (law), but in God's completed work through Jesus (gospel).

Pink plainly describes God’s decree as “His purpose or determination with respect to future things.” The Westminster Shorter Catechism is slightly more expansive saying; “The decrees of God are His eternal purpose according to the counsel of His will, whereby, for His own glory, He hath foreordained whatsoever comes to pass.” The most incredible [...]
