Romans 1-8, But Now: Hope for All Who Fall Short

A Journey though Romans, Sermon Series  

The book of Romans has been called “the greatest letter ever written.” Theologian N.T. Wright said: “Romans is by common consent Paul’s masterpiece. It dwarfs most of his other writings, an Alpine Peak towering over hills and villages.” Over the next few months we will begin to unpack this amazing treatise and we will discover or rediscover God’s amazing doctrines of grace. We will learn about justification, sanctification and glorification, all doctrine which leads to duty or practical application in our lives. The first part of this series will discuss questions such as “Why do we need God’s righteousness?” (1:18 – 3:20). “What is God’s righteousness?” (3:21 – 5:21), and “How does this affect me?” (ch 6-8). The book of Romans was written to “establish” us (16:15) in the Gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation (1:16). This is the foundation upon which we can build our entire Christian lives. This series will deepen your faith, strengthen your walk, and encourage you to live in the victory of the Holy Spirit.

Advent Conspiracy 2019

Advent Conspiracy, Sermon Series  

Are you tired of how consumerism has stolen the soul of Christmas? This year make a difference! Join the groundswell of Christ-followers who are choosing to make Christmas what it should be–a joyous celebration of Jesus’ birth that enriches our hearts and the world around us, not a retail circus that depletes our pocketbooks and defeats our spirits. Substitute compassion for consumption by practicing four simple but powerful countercultural concepts: 

1) Worship fully… because Christmas begins and ends with Jesus. 

2) Spend less… and free your resources for things that truly matter. 

3) Give more… of your hands, your words, your heart.

4) Love all… including the poor, the sick and the forgotten. This year we will have a Christmas worth remembering, not dreading. Because Christmas can still change the world when you, like Jesus, give what matters most – your presence.

Expanding the Table for the glory of God, 2020

Expanding the Table 2020, Vision Refresh 

Have you ever stopped and asked the question… what is God calling our church to be? This mission of every church should be to bring glory to God by living out the Great Commandment and Great Commission. But… how is God specifically calling our church to fulfill this mission in our context? Over the next few weeks, we are going to talk about the vision of MBC. At the end of the day the church is a family… and we are meant to live on mission… we are meant to invite more people to the family table. Our hope is this: That we would be moved, that we would be compelled to expand our table for the glory of God. As we do this… barriers would be broken, relationships would be deepened, and the mission would be fulfilled.

Seven Churches of Revelation

In a culture that is increasingly hostile to the Christian faith, people often ask if the Bible is still relevant for today? Is God still speaking? Of course He is. The real question is: Are we listening? Imagine if our church received a letter from Jesus Himself. What would He say about our love for God? Endurance in trials? Faithful service? Would His words bring commendation… or condemnation?

 

We do, in fact, have such a letter. In Revelation, the last book of the Bible, Jesus’ words to 7 churches are as relevant & today as they were in the 1st century. In this 7-week series– Seven Churches of Revelation — we’ll read Jesus’ 7 letters to 7 churches and

learn how to experience God’s blessing and serve Him effectively in a culture that’s increasingly hostile to faith.

Salt Light and Barbecue Sauce

Salt Light & Barbecue Sauce. Building a longer table, not a higher fence.

A Sermon Series on Sharing your faith in your own backyard.

How do you share your faith in a natural setting? You’re not a high pressured sales person and you don’t want to get into a religious debate, you just want to be obedient to the Lord. Why is it that sharing our faith can feel scary or awkward? How do you open up spiritual conversations? Imagine you are having a BBQ and you have invited non-Christians to your home. You are sharing your gift of hospitality but would also like to talk to them about the most important thing in your life – the gospel. This series will break down the process in simple steps and equip you to be able to open up a dialogue with those you know about the gospel. Be equipped and encouraged through this exciting new series on personal evangelism.
