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.
Part of the NoCo   series (NoCo)

No Compromise Radio-Always Biblical, Always Provocative, Always in that Order. Pastor Mike continues Part II on his discussion of Church growth, vision statements, Christian maturity, and what the goal of a local church should be. The goal of BBC and NoCo is: proclaiming Christ Jesus so that everyone will become a mature Christian. It is time to grow up and become a spiritual adult. Paul wrote in Colossians 1:28: Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. Is it time to start reading your Bible again? Are you a Christian stuck in infancy? Is your Pastor preaching the Word of God? Are you staying at a watered down church because of friends and family? Is your church listening to Journey? The goal of the local church is NOT: new buildings, more people, two services, financial gain, or having bumper cars in the parking lot. Our Calling is to preach Christ Jesus. You should be in a church that wants you to grow. Mature Christians will know how to: deal with temptation, council others, evangelize, talk to someone on their deathbed, preach the Gospel, confront someone in sin, pray for someone, etc. They will be ready to lead at home and in the Church. Other verses mentioned: Ephesians 4:12
