    Dealing With Contradictions

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,212 views

    As Christians, we live in world that is foreign to us. We live in a world that contradicts the life that Jesus lived - a life that He said we could also live. This message examines the reasons why we face contradictions in our lives and how to deal with them.

    In the Gospels, Jesus uses a method of teaching known as parables to communicate principles about the kingdom of God. A parable compares two things by placing them side by side. By using parables, Jesus compares the unfamiliar, the kingdom of God, to the familiar, nature and life experiences. ...read more

    Before The Beginning Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 4,106 views

    Had God alone been there from the beginning, there would be no thing or no one for Him to love. But God was not alone. The Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit were three in one. So God is relational before anything else.

    The Bible is a single story. It doesn’t appear to be one story. The Bible is a long book, written over 1,500 years and in numerous different genres. But if you look closely enough, you’ll find one cohesive story. It is one single story with unity and a compelling narrative. And we can summarize ...read more

     | 2,063 views

    We have been pointing toward Pentecost! We want to know what it means to be awakened by God's Spirit!

    May 24, 1998 John 17:20-26 THERE WAS A BIG HOLE IN THE SKY. A loud silence! Jesus was gone! They stood there with their faces turned up and their mouths open. Two shining beings brought them confirmation of what somehow they already knew: they knew this was a forever kind of change. Things were ...read more

    As we prepare go back inside our sanctuary for Worship, let's celebrate our Spiritual Connection which is a precious gift from God through Christ Jesus.

    SPIRITUALLY CONNECTED Our prayer and plan is that today is our last Sunday as a group outside the sanctuary. • It has been an adventure being outside Sunday after Sunday. • On March 15th of last year, church was cancelled because of COVID-19. • The following Sunday, March 22nd we held our 1st ...read more

    The Prayer Of Love Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 14, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,142 views

    John 17 is the longest prayer of Jesus in the entire Gospels. It's sometimes referred to as Christ's High Priestly prayer... but I regard that as being a far too sterile description of what is truly Jesus' prayer of love for His bride.

    Children have very simple views of life… and of love. The following are children’s views on the topic of love. A 7 year old said – “If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” A 5 year old boy – “Once I’m in kindergarten, I’m going to find me ...read more

     | 4,230 views

    To guard against the encroaching effects of the sin in the world, we must serve others unconditionally.

    There are a couple of big questions on the minds of many people: Do I or don't I get the vaccination? And if I am going to get the vaccination, when? The question becomes more complex when a person is frail for one reason or another. Then there is the matter of believing in the science and the ...read more

    Are We On God's Team?

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 4, 2021
     | 3,031 views

    Jesus was concerned about the current generation of disciples then and every generation of disciples that would follow. That is why He prayed this prayer in John 17:20 – 26 with both a present tense and a future tense.

    ARE WE ON GOD'S TEAM? (May 15, 2010) Text: John 17:20 – 26 Just recently there were many who celebrated in the National Day of Prayer. This was the 59th annual celebration of the National Day of Prayer. There were some who were opposed to the observance of this day. Keep ...read more

    Jesus is praying for us to be a community of unity.

    One weekend, a pastor was giving a children’s sermon to all the kids in church. A bright-eyed three-year-old girl was listening intently as he explained how God wanted them all to get along and to love one another. She was tracking with her pastor until he said, “God wants us all to be one.” The ...read more

    Thankology

    As we begin our trek into the holiday season, I thought it would be best to review and study the importance of being thankful. I have decided to recall a word I adopted as my own a few years ago: Thankology.

    As we begin our trek into the holiday season, I thought it would be best to review and study the importance of being thankful.

    This message explores the biblical basis for our understanding of the Godhead. It discusses the nature of the Trinity and explores how it is reflected in both the old creation and the new creation - the church.

    THE GLORIES OF CHRIST Message 3: The Holy Trinity A. What is the Trinity? What do we mean by the ‘Holy Trinity’? The adjective ‘triune’ literally means ‘three in one’.

    Divided We Are Falling/Failing

    The division (fueled by things like - COVID, masks and a presidential election...etc) between people who were redeemed and set free by the blood of Jesus and who claim to be following after Him... must stop!

    Divided We ARE Falling/Failing Good morning MGCC. TODAY – is January 17 of the year 2021… YEAH – I know a lot of us were looking forward to the new year, wanting to put the year 2020 behind us.

    A Celebration Of Unity

     | 11,247 views

    Deep divisions over politics, pandemic responses, vaccines, racial and ethnic justice, and many other issues abound. The church should be a safe haven from the divisiveness. How do we live together in unity that the psalmist celebrates? What does it mean to live in unity with today’s realities?

    Are you struggling to keep the doors open? Stop! God is most likely calling you to a better pasture because yours is brown.

    "What God does not ordain, He does not sustain." - Unknown This may well be why so many church starts fail. Intentions may have been good and demographics screamed, "GO!", but the still small voice of God said, "No" or "Not now" or "Not you." It ...read more
