    Our church needs to be a place where broken people can recover.

    Today’s message is about recovery from brokenness. This has been a strength of MCC and I hope it always is. Jesus loves and heals broken hearted people. Let’s be a church that He can use in this process. Our passage for today is Luke 15(11-24). (Read Passage) Being lost or losing something is a ...read more

    This sermon attempts to address some of the divide in our church over worship music by recognizing the focus is not on our preference but on God.

    In the last month or so I have heard some interesting comments. I’ve heard, “we don’t sing enough of the old hymns,” or “I don’t like the new music,” and I have also heard “we are singing too many hymns,” or “we sing songs too slow.” Interesting isn’t it? Whenever people are involved there are ...read more

    The true meaning of worshipping in Spirit and Truth as shown in the story of Cain and Abel

    I think we’ve all done it at least one. We get up just a short while before the Sunday morning service, rush to get our clothes on, and zoom out the door we go. Many of you with children know how time consuming just getting the children ready to head out the door can be. I can note many times when ...read more

    An old fisherman used to amaze all the locals with how many fish he was able to catch. It didn’t matter what the weather was like, or how much other fishermen were able to catch, he always caught more than anyone else. The stories became legend, and soon reached the local game warden. He showed ...read more

    Sixth in a series on the early church. This message focuses on balancing the five purposes of the church.

    Balance is really important in our lives: • When we first learn to walk, the biggest hurdle we face is not usually that we don’t have enough strength; it’s that we have to figure out how to stay balanced • On our cars, it’s important to keep our tires balanced. Anyone who has ever tried to drive at ...read more

    Let the triumphal entry teach us about what it means to have a "cup up" mentality about worship.

    Church - Vision Or Memories?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 1, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,296 views

    To keep impacting those outside the church for Jesus, we must keep the vision we were given, and not replace that vision with the memories of yesterday. Nor can we replace our calling with our comfort.

    "What time is it for God’s people at this point in history?" That is the question the church must answer.

    WHAT TIME IS IT? Romans 13:11-14 INTRO: Many inventions have been contrived to provide the answer to this question. The sundial provided an answer only during the day.
