    We'll have unity when we have humility, we'll have humility when we do like Christ did, and we come all the way down. I hope that every time you read that passage you'll not only think about Christ but you'll compare yourself to the standard because ...

    Opening illustration: Bill, a college student, was a new Christian. According to author Rebecca Manley Pippert, one Sunday he visited a church near campus. He walked in barefoot and was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. The service had already started, so he walked down the aisle looking for a seat. ...read more

    Is there something in your life that if it was taken away your life could not go on? Is there something you just can't stop doing? You may be addicted. In fact, even many Christians are addicted to something they are not even aware of - the flesh. How to

    What's your addiction? I know that's a pretty strong statement but I want us to think about that. Put another way, what controls you? What can you not do without? What, if taken away, would mean your life was over? You might say "I'm not addicted to anything!" If that's true, then halleluiah. But ...read more

    Are you going to have a happy new year, or will the social, moral and political corruption continue to destroy your peace of mind and hopes for the future of our nation and the world? It's time to stop worrying about the things that are beyond your control.

    Turn to Proverbs 25:28, as we talk today about the secret of success for the new year. The question is, are you going to have a happy new year, or will the social, moral and political corruption continue to destroy your peace of mind and hopes for the future of our nation and the world? Listen. ...read more

    The Holy Spirit not only give us spiritual gifts to use in our service to God, He also gives us the power, love and self-discipline to utilize them effectively.

    Last week we began a series of 3 messages on the nature and responsibility of having Spiritual Gifts. If you were here you might remember that we read from Romans 12 and 1 Peter 4. And we learned that every believer has at least one spiritual gift. These are God given abilities distributed among ...read more

     | 7,658 views

    This is the 2nd sermon in Max Lucado’s Fearless Campaign and deals with the fear of "Do I Matter?" Uses woman caught in adultery and how she mattered because Jesus loved her.

    Fearless #2 The Fear of Not Mattering I remember the first WVCOG state ministers meeting I attended after I moved here. It was crowded with ministers but I knew none of them. That leaves a person out of the loop, an outsider, you don’t matter. Then I saw a familiar face, a guy I went to school with ...read more

    Looking at Man's rules and God's views. This is the 3rd sermon in the series James, Faith in action. We need to be guarded against what our tongue can say and what our anger can do and we need to see what faith in action is all about...

    Well this is our third Sunday in the book of James. Last week we looked at James 1:19-25 and this week we are primarily looking at James 1:26-27, but I want to back to James 1:19-21. One of you asked last week if I just skipped over the controlling your tongue and anger thing on purpose. Have no ...read more

    Discovering and applying what Jesus taught about self.

    Masturbation, The Spiritual Battle Against The Flesh

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 24, 2024
     | 3,469 views

    Some say that the Bible does not mention masturbation or self-gratification or “solo sex,” as it’s sometimes called. They say that it is silent on the subject and that the Bible does not state whether or not masturbation is a sin.

    I was asked about masturbation and what I thought of it. He then offered up, “Why is masturbation classed as a sin?” “I’m on Christian sites where people are saying that it’s all wrong and that you shouldn’t being stuff like that but surely God wants us to love either with a partner or ourself.” ...read more

    Getting Over Yourself One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. AND BTW MGCC - that is a really good thing to do at times. To leave the noise and the crowd (yeah, they’ll be fine without you) and to get alone with God. IN FACT – for some in this room that is exactly what you need to do this ...read more

    This a powerful teaching on controlling the tongue as a New Year resolution.

    Title: A Renewed Mouth Topic: New Years Message A truth worth grasping today is found in Isaiah 53:10. I love the way the New American Standard Bible translates it, “But Lord was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to grief. If He would render Himself as a guilt offering. He will see ...read more

    Fruit And Flesh

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 27, 2022
     | 1,157 views

    Are we living by the Holy Spirit's power, or are we living by the control of the flesh?

    We all have sinful desires (flesh), but in order to follow the Holy Spirit, we must deal with these issues. We cannot ignore them. The spontaneous works of the Holy Spirit is fruit. We cannot get them unless we allow Christ to work in us through the Holy Spirit. In verses 16-18: Paul depicts the ...read more
