Sermons by Mike Baskett (Page 2)

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!”

What can we see when we are in the darkness? “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light…(2 Corinthians 4:4).” In this lesson, Mike points out how Christians bring light into the world through Jesus.

Looking For Bare Feet

Taking a break from the series on 1 Corinthians, Mike’s lesson this week is taken from Galatians 6. The new year presents a whole new set of opportunities to impact the world. Interestingly, the word “opportunity” in the Greek language (kairos) is defined as “giving the right things the right measure of time.” “Therefore, as…

What Belongs to God?

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” The willingness of the Corinthian Christians to pursue lawsuits against fellow Christians illustrates that people will naturally pursue what they feel they deserve, even against fellow Christians. But what does that say to the world around us?

Standing for Morality

In this lesson, Mike unpacks the principles present in 1 Corinthians 5 and the reasons that Christians should obey God’s commands and hold themselves to a higher standard of moral conduct.
