Operation Christmas Child 2024

by

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. They ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease.

At MBC, we love to participate in OCC! Boxes and brochures are available in the foyer. Drop off boxes at MBC by November 17, and be sure to enclose a $10 donation for each box. You can write 1 check to cover all the boxes you submit, or donate online and check Follow Your Box to track it to its recipient(s). For more info or ideas on packing a shoe box, check out their website here

Collection date is Sunday, November 17.

The Unveiling, Revelation of Jesus Christ

by

Revelation of Jesus Christ

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is an unveiling. It is an unveiling of the true person and work of Christ against the powers of darkness, an unveiling of the Spiritual Realm and an Unveiling of the future and an unveiling of the mysteries of John’s visions. We will explore the timeless truths and profound revelations woven into the fabric of this extraordinary biblical story. From the triumphant Lamb of God to the cosmic battles between good and evil, the book of Revelation was a letter that serves as both a warning and a source of hope for believers of all ages.

 

Join us as we navigate the vivid imagery, decipher the symbolic language, and discover the enduring message of victory, redemption, and the ultimate fulfillment of God’s divine plan.

Band of Brothers

Band of Brothers

 

Band of Brothers meets on Thursday nights at 7pm in YFMB 202

 

At Band of Brothers, we aim to cultivate an environment where young men can support each other through fellowship, Bible reading, and prayer. Our goal is to grow in the Lord as we tackle various topics and read challenging chapters of Scripture. We will delve into the deepest parts of our existence because the Lord Jesus is coming back, and we must be ready. Each of us has a divine assignment and spiritual gifts that we intend to discover and embrace. In short, we are cultivating spiritual warriors for Jesus.

 

Our Goals: Cultivate a Biblical Worldview. Bear one another’s burdens. Confess sins to one another. Adopt a Biblical view of masculinity. Establish biblical character. Till soil where seed can be planted, watered and bear fruit. Establish ourselves in the ways of the Lord.

Luke-Act V: Final Week of Jesus

by

Luke ACT 5, Final Week of Jesus

The final five chapters of bring us to the end … the final week of Jesus’ first coming. He enters Jersulam, he tells his followers about the end of the world, he has a last meal with them … and then he goes to the cross. He takes our sins on himself. It is the culmination of his mission: to seek and save the lost. This is why Jesus came. The cross is how he will save the world … and the cross has changed the world. Do you want to be saved? You cannot miss this final section of our series.

Luke Series Overview
Have you ever lost something … something that was precious to you? It could be a family member, a wedding ring, a career, or, today, even you phone. Parts of our lives are precious to us. The question is: how far would you go? If someone or something is lost, how far would you go to seek and save them? We live in a world fill with lost people. People are searching, seeking, something bigger and better—something to fill the gap we sense in our hearts. People are longing for salvation but finding it in the wrong places. We need a savio

The Gospel of Luke is the story of God himself, Jesus Christ, coming to earth to seek and save the lost. Luke is a long book, but it shows us many dimensions of Jesus. In every section we see Jesus seeking us. He comes as a baby through the incarnation … seeking us. He performs miracles to show his power .. as he seeks us. He walks along the road with us as we ask questions. He dies for us … but then he rises again. And now, he sends his followers out into the world to seek the lost.  

It’s the call of Jesus. How far would you go … to seek the lost?  

What is the point? These books begin with hope, but end in disappointment. The spiritual state of the people are unchanged. The political and social reforms don’t address the core concerns of the heart. The book points us forward to the need for the new covenant which would renovate the human heart as prophesied by Jeremiah (ch 31) and Ezekiel (ch 36).
