Mike Abendroth Mike’s passion is preaching the Bible in a verse-by-verse fashion and training other men to do the same. He graduated from The Master’s Seminary in 1996 (M. Div.), received his doctorate in Expository Preaching at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in May 2006 (D. Min.), and is an adjunct professor at EBTC (European Bible Training Center) and The Master’s Seminary (Doctoral Mentor). Pastor Mike is also the author of Jesus Christ: The Prince of Preachers (DayOne, 2007), The Sovereignty and Supremacy of King Jesus (DayOne, 2011), Things that Go Bump in the Church (Harvest House, 2014), Discovering Romans (Zondervan, 2014), Sexual Fidelity (NoCo Media, 2015) and Evangelical White Lies (NoCo Media, 2016). He is overwhelmed at God’s grace in his salvation and for his family (Kim, Hayley, Luke, Maddie and Grace). Mike has been the Senior Pastor at Bethlehem Bible Church (BBC) in West Boylston, MA since April 1997. When not enjoying his family, Mike is often seen on this.

Perry Noble is a "pastor" at NewSpring Church in South Carolina. During Easter service this year, he had "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC played. His intention was to get people mad. At a worship service. Pastor Mike here discusses a big issue with Noble - and that is his ecclesiology (theology of the church).
Our goal in a worship service should always be how to please the audience of one.. or Coram Deo. The "one" here is the king that we are worshipping, Jesus Christ. Worship is already going on in heaven (see Revelation 5). If we focus our worship services on "seekers", pleasing people, how we can get people in, etc.. we are missing the point. We should rather offend people than the Lord.
Far from repenting, Noble has defended what he did as have others like James McDonald.
Listen in as Mike discusses how we should view this disturbing ecclesiological issue.
