The Pastor’s Table Blog

Welcome to The Pastor’s Table, our MBC church blog. As the pastors and leaders of MBC, our vision is to “Expand the Table … for the Glory of God.” We are passionate about loving Jesus, loving people, and extending an invitation to everyone God’s table.

This blog is our invitation to you to pull up a seat and have a conversation with us. Here you will find theological musings, ministry updates and pastoral encouragement for our church body and for our broader community.

Whether you are a Christian or just someone seeking truth and answers about God, we welcome you here to take a seat at our table. We hope our blog will inspire, encourage you and challenge you while you sit with us at the table.

Day Seven - Holy Saturday Text: (Matthew 27:62–66) The Saturday of Easter weekend is a "forgotten day." It is often overlooked compared to the rest of what is a very eventful week. Saturday is a day we don’t talk about much. It’s the day in between the darkest day in...

Day Three – Tuesday Texts: (Matthew 21:23–26:5, Mark 11:27–14:2, Luke 20:1–22:2, John 12:37–50) The theme for today’s devotional is “authority.” As we consider Holy Week and all that Jesus was and is, ask yourself, “Who has the right to rule in my life?” Who’s the boss? Remember that 80's TV...
