This Summer Noah tackled the subject of Unity. As we look around our country we are so divided. Jesus desires we be unified in Him
John 12:20-21 states: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
Come check out our YouTube channel featuring this and other relevant topics.
Family Ministries Resource Page | We live in a complex world. Raising the next generation to own their faith has never been more challenging—or more necessary. Yet, in the Scriptures, we see three institutions that God created: The Family, The Church, and the Nation—but the family is the foundation of society.
At MBC, one of our core values is building strong families. One of the ways we do this is by equipping parents and their children to navigate the difficult issues of the day. This page is for you. Below you will find some suggested resources to help you answer the most pressing issues of the day. Don’t see something? Ask us a question below!
MBC Kids Philosophy of Discipleship |We are passionate about discipleship. This resource was written to explain how we aim to lay the foundation for kids to grow in God’s Word while they are a part of our MBC Kids ministry. Download this document for more on our philosophy.
Several times a year we offer seminars for MBC families and those in our community. We run these events to equip families to navigate the difficult cultural terrain we are living in. Here are examples of past seminar topics:
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Women of all ages are invited to participate in a group study of Colossians on Sunday mornings.
Pastor, author and speaker, Paul David Tripp, says he would entitle Colossians, “Jesus at the Center.” Jesus is the ultimate embodiment of the grace of God!
Colossians focuses on the supremacy and the sufficiency of Christ Jesus. Jesus is in every passage and every verse of Colossians. The apostle Paul has one thing that he wants us to know: that there is no gospel apart from His person and work.
There will be a rotating schedule of leaders and we will use the Bible as our guide for learning and discussion. Join us as we dive deep into God’s Word and experience His fullness like never before.

“I will restore the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” (Joel 2:25)

Esther Goetz
About Esther: I was born and grew up a missionary kid in war-torn Ethiopia. I now live in rural New Jersey in a house surrounded by perennial gardens where you will find me digging in the dirt or basking in the glory of it all.
When I’m not on a date with my husband of 30 years, I’m writing, watching crime shows, figuring out the cures for all the world’s problems with a friend, or being a mom to four grownish kids and one adorable preschool grandson.
I have a fierce passion to restore hope for the sacred space where our hearts and our homes meet. This includes faith, marriage and motherhood.
My husband wrote this haiku for me and it’s who and what I hope to be and share with you:
We are excited to announce a new Bible study series on the book of John featuring Lysa TerKeurst, author of Finding I Am: How Jesus Fully Satisfies the Cry of Your Heart.

Tuesdays AM – YFMB:
The Tuesday AM Women’s Bible Study will resume in September 19,2023, at 10am, in the Youth & Family Ministry Building.
Small group leaders: Chris MacBurney, Marian Miller and Fernne Good
This small group will dive deeper into Psalms and Proverbs.
Small group leaders: Linda Clark, Jenn Dowden, Ruth Grose, Sharon Lima and Linda Rigdon
Topic: Discussing the sermon series, “Rise Up and Build.” We are discussing the music language of our lives.
The Women’s Tuesday PM Edition will meet on Tuesdays at 7pm (beginning September 19th). This semester we will meet in YFMB Room 201 and on Zoom.
They will be covering the book “Jesus in Me” by Anne Graham Lotz. There is a video as well as streaming.
In Jesus in Me, Anne Graham Lotz draws on her rich biblical knowledge as well as her personal journey—including her recent cancer diagnosis—to help us understand that the Holy Spirit is not a magic genie, a flame of fire, or a vague feeling. He is a Person who prays for us, guides us in our relationships and decisions, comforts us in pain, and stays by our side at all times. In this seminal teaching, she explores seven key aspects of the Holy Spirit that will revolutionize how you understand and relate to this vital third Person in the Trinity.
Risen Motherhood is a small group that meets on Tuesdays from 8pm-9pm via Zoom. Reach out to Krisana Ukritnukun via email for the Zoom link. Small group is scheduled to resume in the fall of 2023.
MBC “Risen Motherhood” Podcast Group is an online community that gathers weekly to reflect on the gospel-hope for moms with young children. Each podcast is about 20 minutes long and brings gospel truths to everyday topics of motherhood. Partner with us during this season of motherhood on Zoom every Tuesday, 8pm.
“You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.” – Risen Motherhood
Thursdays 7PM – YFMB: Leader: Kim McLaughlin
The women meet on Thursdays from 7pm-9pm in the YFMB 2nd floor conference room. We are currently studying Acts 18 and will resume on September 7th.
How did the church explode from a tiny group to a worldwide force in just a few years? After Jesus left His followers with a mission, the Spirit of God moved mightily through them to fulfill it. Luke’s account of how the gospel was carried from Jerusalem to Rome―despite every conceivable obstacle―inspires the church today and helps us live out our individual mission in the world. Discover the exciting and challenging first few years of the church, the things we have in common with them today, and how that applies to our faith in the modern-day church.
Come and join us for a relaxing Christmas celebration with music, food and friends! Dress fancy (if you would like), bring an appetizer or dessert to share as we mingle in the newly renovated Fellowship Hall.
Take a little time for yourself to pause and fill up your bucket before we pour them out to the ones we love this Christmas.
Invite your mother, neighbors, high school teens, old friends and new. Whoever the Lord is bringing to mind, we would love to have them. If you have any questions contact Jenn Dowden .

The Morning Edition
Romans 1-7; The Gift of God by Timothy Keller
Tuesday Mornings, 9:30am, YFMB
We want to be right in the eyes of the law of our land, of those we respect, of our loved ones, of those we work with. We strive to gain and then keep this right standing.
But there is another, far better and more important righteousness. A righteousness which changes and liberates every aspect of our lives, and yet which none of us can earn or maintain ourselves. It s a righteousness from God.
Romans 1-7 is all about that righteousness. It shows us why we don’t have it, why we need it, and how we can receive it. It thrills us that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6 v 23).
These seven studies will help you to understand one of the most-read, most written-about parts of the Bible. And, as they enable you to you unwrap God s precious gift of right standing with him, they ll transform your hearts, lives, identities and perspectives.

What is the deep cry of your heart? The ache in your soul that keeps you up at night? The prayer you keep repeating? Jesus not only cares about this deep, spiritual wrestling, but He also wants to step in and see you through it.
Join Lysa TerKeurst on the streets of Israel to explore the seven I AM statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Through this interactive, in-depth study we will be trading feelings of emptiness and depletion for the fullness of knowing who Jesus is like never before.
The workbook is $15, payable by cash or check. Please invite your friends to come. Contact Irm Smith (908-397-3128) with any questions.
