Sermons by Mike Baskett (Page 17)

Mike was born in Abilene, Texas in 1962 to parents who were serving in the U.S. Air Force. After living in Montana and Florida, his dad retired and moved back to Abilene in 1972. It was in Abilene that their entire family was introduced to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus and all began a new walk with Him! Mike was called into ministry his sophomore year at ACU and answered the call his junior year (he was a bit slow). While working on his degree in Ministry and Evangelism, Mike ministered at two local churches. He also spent a year as a missionary intern in Skelmersdale, England. Karen and Mike have served three congregations in our 21 years together, each one has been a unique and special blessing! They have three incredible children, Hunter (20), Colby (18), and Curry (13). They have a dog named Granger, two cats, and a gold fish. Mike consider myself one of the most blessed individuals in this world! But he will tell you… “I’m REALLY looking forward to the world to come. What a hope we have in Jesus!”

Using Supplication to “Overcome Overload”

This is the fifth lesson in Mike’s series, Overcoming Overload, based on the book of the same name. Prayer (supplication) is simply the process of drawing near to God; the process of bringing our lives into harmony with his. Understanding the power of prayer – the power of connection to your Creator – is the foundation of living…

Do You Need a Sanctuary?

The whole idea of rest and finding a “sanctuary” in order to enjoy that rest runs very counter to our 24/7 culture. In this lesson, Mike talks about the need for God’s people to find solitude, silence, and stillness in their lives.

Do You Need Your Space?

Today’s culture – the culture of “24/7” – leaves no room for rest. Does your life need some space? In this lesson, Mike teaches about “sabbath” and what relevance it has for you. God made the sabbath just for you, and Jesus consistently practiced the principle of “rest.”

Are You Tired of Being Tired?

Just the pace of life can be crushing. Activities. Responsibilities. Work. Kids. There are more and more and more things to do, but there seems to be less time to do them. In this lesson, Mike introduces the idea of “life overload” and details the three lies that Satan uses to manipulate our lives.

A Lesson from Paul the Apostle

Paul, the man who described himself as the very worst of all sinners. The lesson of Paul, as Mike shares in this lesson, is a lesson of hope. As Paul said, “Now I am on trial because of my hope in the fulfillment of God’s promise made to our ancestors (Acts 26:6 NLT).”
