This year’s study, Exile and Return, invites you on a powerful journey through the Old Testament, where God’s people were called to build His kingdom in a foreign land. Their story is our story—we, too, are strangers in a broken world, called to build for His glory. As we explore how God equips and positions His people, we’re challenged to ask: Am I building my life for Christ? Exile and Return reminds us that our time to build is now.


Books included in this year’s study: Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah, Nehemiah, and Malachi.

 

Questions? Contact: John Drew, Men’s Class Administrator, or Priya Mamidi, Women’s Class Administrator.

Women will meet in the YFMB (Youth & Family Ministry Building). Men are in the Sanctuary.

Most of our Bible study throughout our Christian lives focuses on understanding God and learning how to live in right relationship to Him, ourselves and each other-and this is certainly vital to our spiritual growth. However, the Bible also teaches us how to live in right relationship to every aspect of God’s creation, which includes society, culture, art, economics, education and politics just to name a few. Furthermore, the Bible helps us understand how to properly order (or re-order) the fallen world as we join Christ in his work of restoring all things. This is where a “Christian worldview” proves vital.

Ours is a world where the “powers and principalities” are actively working to dis-order God’s good creation in areas such as marriage, family, human sexuality, and personhood. As disciples of Christ, we cannot truly love our neighbors and remain indifferent to ideas and actions that do harm to people and God’s creation. The fact is “ideas have consequences and bad ideas have victims.” Because we care about the victims of “bad ideas,” we are pleased to partner with the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in bringing the Colson Fellows Program to MBC.

The Colson Fellows Program is a transformational course that compresses a lifetime of Christian wisdom…into nine months. This program will establish a solid foundation for those who are new to the study of Christian worldview, and for those who are well-versed in worldview and apologetics; you will gain new insights into today ‘s rapidly changing culture. Colson Fellows-in-Training go beyond understanding worldview as mere arguments and facts, and develop instead, the critical thinking skills or wisdom to discern what is or is not true, good, and beautiful in every issue that assails us today so they can understand the times and engage others thoughtfully and with grace.

 

Program Overview

Beginning each August, Colson Fellows-in-Training follow a carefully curated curriculum that helps them understand and identi­fy worldviews and how they manifest in today’s ideas, philosophies, policies and practice. You will learn how to analyze and understand culture and its influence. Additionally, we will examine current cultural flashpoints such as race relations, pro­gressive sexuality, religious liberty, the role of government, economics, and sanctity of life. Finally, Colson Fellows-in-Train­ing will examine the concept of “calling” and develop a “Personal Ministry Plan” that will help them discover their calling, identify their unique gifts and sphere of influence.

LEARN MORE

Other features of the Program include:

  • 24/7 /365 access to the Colson Fellows Online Learning Platform;
  • Monthly Meetings facilitated by Bob Erbig, Lead Pastor for Preaching, Family Life and Mission, a commissioned Colson Fellow.
  • Twice-Monthly Video Webinars in which you are able to interact with authors from the reading list

  • Assistance developing a teaching practicum in which you will teach on a topic you’ve learned;

  • Strengths Finder assessment;

Palm Sunday

by

April 13th, 2025 at 9am & 10:45am

Join us this Palm Sunday as we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and conclude our Resilient sermon series. As Jesus rode into the city, the crowds waved palm branches and shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Mark 11:9). It was a moment of joy and expectation, yet we know the week ahead would test His endurance in ways no one could have imagined.

Palm Sunday reminds us that true resilience is found in Christ. Though He entered Jerusalem as a King, He would soon take the path of suffering for our salvation. As we conclude our Resilient series, we will reflect on how Jesus endured the cross so that we might stand firm in faith, no matter the trials we face.

We will have palms available for everyone to take as we remember this powerful moment in Jesus’ journey to the cross. Come ready to worship, reflect, and prepare your heart for Holy Week as we look to the One who overcame for us.

Hosanna in the highest!

Easter Sunday

by

April 20th, 2025 at 8am & 9:30am & 11am

He Is Risen! This Easter Sunday, we gather to celebrate the greatest victory in history—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His triumph over sin and death is the foundation of our faith and the source of our eternal hope.

In 2 Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul reminds us of the life-transforming power of the resurrection. Because Christ died and rose again, we no longer live for ourselves but for Him (v. 15). Through His sacrifice, we are made new—“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (v. 17). This is the miracle of Easter: God, in His mercy, has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ.

The empty tomb is more than proof of Christ’s power over death; it is an invitation to new life. Paul declares that we have been given the ministry of reconciliation (v. 18), called to share the good news that God no longer counts our sins against us because of Jesus. In a world filled with brokenness, this message of reconciliation and renewal is more needed than ever.

As we celebrate Christ’s resurrection today, let us reflect on what it means to be a “new creation.” What areas of our lives need His renewing power? How can we live as ambassadors of His grace, proclaiming the victory of the risen King?

This Easter, may we rejoice in the hope we have in Christ, embrace our identity as God’s redeemed people, and proclaim with confidence: He is risen indeed!

Good Friday

by

April 18th, 2025 at 7pm

Join us this Good Friday as we gather to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. On this solemn night, we reflect on the weight of His suffering, the depth of His love, and the power of His final words: “It is finished” (John 19:30).

The cross is where our salvation was won. Jesus, the innocent Lamb of God, took upon Himself the sin of the world, bearing the punishment we deserved so that we might be reconciled to God. Though darkness covered the earth, and hope seemed lost, we know that this was not the end of the story.

This service will be a time of Scripture, reflection, and worship as we remember Christ’s ultimate act of love. Let us gather in reverence and gratitude, preparing our hearts for the joy that is to come on Easter morning.

Come, and behold the Lamb who was slain for us.

Living Lord’s Supper

by

April 17th, 2025 at 7pm

MBC invites you to share in an evening of remembrance and reflection as we witness the meal that changed the world.
A small band of men joined together to celebrate the Passover with their Rabbi. Although they were like many of those who gathered in Jerusalem that day, the meal they were about to share would mark the start of a weekend that would change history forever. Their teacher would announce that after three years of traveling, teaching, struggling, and experiencing miracles together one of them would betray him. Was it to be one of the violent Nationalists looking for a military leader to free them from Roman rule; the Judean who kept control of the group’s finances; the former tax collector who was hated by his own people; one of the fishermen of Bethsaida; the one who could only believe in what his own senses revealed; one of the brothers of thunder; or the one in whom the teacher could find no deceit?
Gather with the disciples as they share the memories of those closest to Jesus and struggled to grasp which of them would turn against their master, teacher, and friend and what that would mean for them and the Kingdom of God, and by extension, each one of us. We encourage you to invite your friends, family and neighbors. Admission is FREE.

Resilient Life

by

The Resilient Life

We live in an anxious age. Our 24 hour news cycle, social media hype, and globally connected world fuels our fears. Danger seems to be lurking around every corner. To counter this, the secular world has crafted “safe spaces” to shield the next generation from pain and suffering. But is this the solution? Are we meant to avoid stress and live a comfortable?

Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians tells a different story. With boldness and love, Paul exhorts the believers: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8-9, ESV).” In short, he calls the Corinthian Christians, and us, to love the resilient life?

What is the resilient life? We are able to recover quickly, because we know where our hope lies. As Paul writes, “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison (2 Cor. 4:16-17, ESV).” This series will look at themes in 2nd Corinthians and draw from the five practices of resilience outlined in the book Faith for Exiles. By the end of this series, we hope you will be prepared to live a RESILIENT LIFE for Christ.

Training for women in Côte d’Ivoire

Girl Empowerment Curriculum: Trafficking and Domestic abuse

Project Cost: $6,000.00

Donate

The Project
Provide a training to women in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa to facilitate the Girl Empowerment Curriculum with their young girls to prevent sex trafficking and domestic abuse.

The Problem
According to the Trafficking In Person report on Cote d’Ivoire, traffickers exploit Ivoirian women and girls in sex trafficking, especially in Abidjan. Traffickers are increasingly using technology to fraudulently recruit victims for jobs and subsequently exploit them in sex trafficking. They bring girls from rural Cote d’Ivoire and other West African countries to Abidjan ostensibly to go to school or receive professional training but subsequently exploit them in domestic servitude; these girls are also vulnerable to sexual exploitation. Children living in Cote d’Ivoire without identity documents cannot enroll in school past the elementary level, increasing their vulnerability to trafficking.
According to the 2023 Trafficking In Person report on Cote d’Ivoire, the government maintained insufficient efforts to prevent trafficking. They have increased their efforts, but more is needed.

Ultimate Goal
To prevent girls and women from being trafficked. Through their engagement with the Girl Empowerment training, girls and women will learn to recognize if someone is trying to groom and recruit them, practice using their voices and asserting their boundaries, recognize signs of someone who is being trafficked and exploited, identify a list of safe people to address difficult situations, and be able to identify and avoid or thwart abusive or unhealthy relationship patterns.
