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.
