Do Pastors Talk About the World Too Much? Pastor Mike Responds
Thursday, January 8, 2026
In this thoughtful segment, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries answers a listener asking whether pastors can talk about “the world” too much in their sermons. Pastor Mike explains the difference between faithful application of Scripture to real-life issues—business ethics, daily habits, personal struggles—and unnecessary attempts to be trendy or culturally entertaining. He emphasizes that preaching should be grounded in the Word, aimed at transforming lives, and not diluted with worldly gimmicks or pop-culture distractions. At the same time, sermons must connect biblical truth to everyday life, just as Jesus did in the Sermon on the Mount.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?

And yet, something remarkable is happening...Bible sales are skyrocketing! Make certain you know why.
