They come through tears, sleepless nights, and whispered cries of, "God, where are You?" Psalm 119:145–168 reminds us that faith isn't pretending everything is okay—it's choosing to cry out to the One who hears, to keep seeking Him when the answers seem delayed, and to discover a peace that can settle the soul even before the situation changes. This Sunday, we'll walk through one of the most heartfelt sections of Psalm 119 as we explore crying out, seeking God's deliverance, and finding peace in His presence. Whether you're carrying heavy burdens, waiting on God, or simply longing to hear His voice again, this message is an invitation to come honestly, expectantly, and together. We'd love to have you with us. Join us Sunday at 8am or 11am for one of our worship services! -Pastor Ben Key Verse - Psalm 119:145-146 - "I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord and I will obey your decrees.

Maybe they're learning how to clean their room for the first time, or perhaps they're supposed to remember to take out the trash. Whatever the task may be, one thing is certain—you'll probably have to remind them...again and again. The truth is, children aren't the only ones who forget. We all do. We forget responsibilities, conversations, commitments, and even the lessons God has faithfully taught us. Throughout Scripture, we see this pattern repeatedly. The people of Israel were continually reminded of God's faithfulness because they were so quick to forget all He had done for them. In many ways, we are no different. As we've journeyed through Psalm 119, you've probably noticed how often the psalmist repeats himself. He continually returns to the beauty, greatness, and power of God's Word. He speaks again and again of his love for Scripture, his delight in it, and his commitment to obey it. At first, it can seem repetitive—but that's exactly the point. The psalmist knows that God's Word is so precious and so life-giving that it deserves our constant attention.  The question for us is this: Has that truth taken root in our hearts? Are we seeing God and His Word with the same delight as the psalmist? Or have these truths become so familiar that we've stopped listening? Join us this weekend at 8:00 or 11:00 AM as we continue our journey through Psalm 119. Together, we'll be reminded once again of the beauty of God's Word, the righteousness of our God, and why these timeless truths are worth hearing again and again. - Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49627414 Have you ever tried to give a child directions?

As they built, crafted, and explored together, they discovered an even greater truth from Ephesians 2:10—that each one of us has been intentionally crafted by Christ for His purposes. Throughout the week, they learned the story of Scripture: God created us to be with Him, sin separated us from Him, we could never fix that separation on our own, but Jesus came to do what we never could by dying and rising again to restore us to God. - Pastor Ben Key Verse: Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) - "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Whenever we are faced with commitment, questions and fears often begin to swirl in our minds. What if they let me down? What if it isn't enough? What if things don't turn out the way I hoped? Commitment can feel risky because it requires us to release control and entrust ourselves to someone or something beyond ourselves. Every one of us wrestles with commitment in some way. Rather than fully committing, we often try to keep one foot in and one foot out. We convince ourselves that this gives us a sense of security—that if things go wrong, we can simply say, "I knew it wouldn't work." Yet this kind of divided allegiance only keeps us from experiencing the fullness of what God desires for us. Jesus calls us to wholehearted trust, and the longer we try to live in the middle ground, the more our hearts drift away from Him. As we continue our journey through Psalm 119, we will see the psalmist repeatedly place his confidence in God's Word. It is through trusting the Lord and delighting in His Word that he experiences its wisdom, joy, and life-giving power. Together, we will explore what it means to fully trust God's Word, consider the cost of wholehearted commitment, and discover the greater joy and freedom found on the other side of surrender. Join us this Sunday at 8:00 or 11:00 AM as we discover why releasing control and entrusting ourselves to the Lord is not only one of the hardest steps of faith we can take, but also one of the most rewarding. We would love to worship with you as we learn together what it means to wholeheartedly trust the God who is always faithful. - Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49627411 One of the most vulnerable things we can do is place our trust in someone or commit ourselves to something.

If you were entering a battle, you would want to know that the strength behind you far exceeds the strength of the enemy before you. The reality is that we, too, are in a battle. Scripture reminds us that we are engaged in a spiritual war against the kingdom of darkness. That raises an important question: Do we have the power to stand against the enemies that surround us? The psalmist wrestled with this very question. Throughout Psalm 119, we have watched him face relentless opposition. He has been vulnerable, afflicted, and at times felt as though he were at the brink of death. Yet through every trial, he continually places his hope in God's Word. Rather than relying on his own strength, he trusts in the promises and faithfulness of the Lord. As we continue our journey through Psalm 119, we will discover that God's Word is far more than a collection of promises—it is the powerful revelation of the God who spoke the universe into existence. The same Word that created all things continues to sustain, strengthen, and transform His people today. When we place our faith in God's Word and in the God who stands behind it, we experience His power at work in our lives. Join us this week as we explore the power of God's Word and discover how it is living, active, and sufficient for every battle we face. Together, we'll be reminded that our confidence is not found in our own strength, but in the God whose Word never fails. - Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49627409 In times of war, one of the most important questions is this: Who has the greater power?

As we look at the brokenness of the world around us, it is easy to become discouraged and wonder what God is doing. Like the psalmist in Psalm 13, we may find ourselves crying out, "How long, O Lord?" At times, it can seem as though the world is spinning out of control, leaving us to wonder where God is at work in the midst of it all. As we continue our study of Psalm 119 this week, we find the psalmist still wrestling with the affliction brought on by the "arrogant" and the "insolent" who oppose and mock him. Yet we also see the psalmist honestly acknowledging his own weakness and suffering. Rather than abandoning him in his affliction, God—whose steadfast love (HESED) never fails—uses even life's hardships for His glory and for the good of His people (Romans 8:28). The psalmist trusts that, even in the darkest moments, God is at work, using suffering to shape, restore, and draw him closer to Himself. That same hope is available to us today. When life feels uncertain and tragedy seems ever-present, we can turn to God's Word and to the God who inspired it. In Him we find lasting hope, unshakable peace, and the assurance that He is working all things according to His perfect purposes. Join us this week as we wrestle with the difficult question, "Why does God allow evil to exist?" We will approach this question not as skeptics seeking to discredit God, but as His children, longing to find comfort, wisdom, and hope in the presence of a gracious Father who delights in meeting us in the midst of our struggles. -Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49615482 The question of evil is one of the most difficult questions Christians face.

Every day, we are surrounded by countless blessings—from the basic needs He faithfully provides to the simple gift of waking up each morning. Scripture reminds us that "every good and perfect gift is from above" (James 1:17). When we reflect on God's goodness and generosity, how should we respond? Last week, we saw the psalmist facing both external pressures and internal struggles. Yet even in the midst of hardship, he never loses hope. Instead, he continually turns to God's Word, finding comfort, strength, and assurance in its truth. Through every trial, the Lord has proven Himself faithful, meeting the psalmist in his time of need. As he reflects on God's steadfast care, his heart overflows with peace, joy, and gratitude. How does the psalmist respond to God's faithfulness time and time again? He responds with obedience. The psalmist understands that God desires more than our meditation on Scripture; He desires our response to it. True obedience is an act of worship. It is our way of acknowledging that God alone sits on the throne and that we gladly submit our lives to His loving authority. While obedience is often one of the most difficult aspects of the Christian life, it is also one of the most necessary and rewarding. Join us this week as we discover the joy that comes from walking in obedience to the Lord. Together, we will see that when we faithfully follow God's Word, it not only brings joy to our hearts but also keeps us firmly anchored to the One who is faithful in every season. - Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49615478 Have you ever paused to consider all that God has graciously given you?

Trials and seasons of sorrow are an inevitable part of living in a broken world. At any given moment, we are either coming out of a difficult season, walking through one, or heading toward one. In those moments, how we view God and respond to His truth will shape our faith and determine whether we truly lean on Him in times of trouble. As we continue our time in Psalm 119, we see the psalmist facing enemies who plot against him and wrestling with his own weakness during a season of sorrow. Yet, in the midst of his lament and weariness, he turns to the Lord. With a heavy heart, what does he plead for? He asks for God’s Word to remain near to him and for his understanding of it to deepen. The psalmist knows that the words of God reveal the very character of God Himself. In times of trouble, Scripture becomes a source of comfort, strength, and hope that he can cling to. He seeks to remember all that God has done and to understand what God is doing even now. Though chaos surrounds him, he trusts that God is in control. He knows that God is sovereign, and he holds fast to truth as an anchor in the rough seas of life. So, whether you are currently walking through a hard season or will face one again in the future, remember this: God’s Word—and by extension, God Himself—is the anchor that holds us steady. He is near to the brokenhearted, faithful in every trial, and worthy of our trust.

When we encounter beautifully crafted works of art, we cannot help but be drawn into them and experience the range of emotions they evoke. Why is that? Why are we so captivated by certain lyrics or so engaged in the plot of a movie? It is because God has hardwired us that way! We have been endowed with God-given emotions that long to connect with things that stir our hearts. Just as a piece of art reveals something about its creator, Scripture reveals something about our Creator. Scripture is the Word of God and therefore bears His character and nature. So, just as we might dive into a good book to understand the author's intentions, we are invited to dive into Scripture in a way that reveals God's intentions. Scripture is not merely a book written by men; it carries the truth and teaching of who God is, who we are, and the greatest story ever told. It is a book whose depths can never be fully explored and whose applications to our lives are endless. It is a marvelous masterpiece, filled with artistic beauty that should leave every reader in awe of the God who inspired it. Yet it is easy to grow dull or bored with such a long book. I would be lying if I said I don’t have days when reading Scripture feels more like a task than a joy. It is in those moments, when we pause and ask the Holy Spirit for help, that we begin to see once again the beauty of Scripture, the wisdom it contains, and the joy it can bring. Join us this week as we begin our journey through Psalm 119. Together, we will not only discover the beauty of Scripture but also encounter the God who inspired it. - Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49615474 Have you ever had a moment when you read an amazing book, listened to a masterfully composed song, or watched a movie that completely captivated your attention and kept you on the edge of your seat?

Together, we will not only discover the beauty of Scripture but also encounter the God who inspired it. - Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49615474 Have you ever had a moment when you read an amazing book, listened to a masterfully composed song, or watched a movie that completely captivated your attention and kept you on the edge of your seat?

He messed up really bad! The story of David and Bathsheba is one of the really ugly episodes in the Old Testament. Just like David, the holes we dig for ourselves can seem too much to overcome. It’s easy to feel like we are beyond God’s reach. David was clearly at that point. He had worked extremely hard to cover sin after sin. Psalm 51 is David’s response to this moment. It is his repentant and broken spirit before a holy and pure God. It is David asking for what none of us DESERVE or can ever hope to EARN. That is forgiveness and restoration from a perfect and holy God. No matter what you’ve done or where you’ve been, God can heal and restore! In fact, he is ready and waiting! Come join us this Sunday as we dive in to Psalm 51 and study about God’s forgiveness and restoration. - Brad Ronne Key Verses - Psalm 51:10-12 (NIV) - Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

When He called fishermen from the shores of Galilee, His invitation was more than “come believe in Me.” It was, “Follow Me, and I will send you out…” Following Jesus meant leaving comfort behind, stepping into the work of ministry, and learning to trust Him through pruning, sacrifice, rejection, and perseverance. The same invitation still stands today. In a world where it’s easy to settle for comfortable Christianity, Jesus calls His people to something deeper—to remain in Him, bear much fruit, and join Him in His mission to seek and save the lost. The question is not simply whether we believe in Jesus, but whether we are truly following Him. And while the pruning can be painful, the life He produces through surrendered disciples is worth it. Join us this weekend as we open God’s Word together and re-think what it really means to follow Jesus. Come be encouraged, challenged, and reminded not to lose heart in the process God is using to grow lasting fruit in your life. -Pastor Ben Key Verses: Matthew 9:37-38 (NIV) - Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49597919 Jesus never hid the cost of following Him.

It is deeply rooted in our history and remains one of the primary areas we feel called to emphasize as a church. While this is true of many healthy churches, when we look at the emphasis of Scripture, it becomes clear that discipleship is one of the central callings of the Christian life throughout the New Testament. Yet even with this clear direction from Scripture, why do we sometimes struggle to live it out? It may be because of busyness, fear, uncertainty, or simply not knowing where to begin. Whatever the reason, God’s Word not only gives us the command to disciple others, but also provides the wisdom, tools, and example we need to faithfully walk it out. We must resist the pull of a culture that keeps us consumed with things that only matter for the moment and instead fix our eyes on what will matter for eternity. Join us at 8 AM or 11 AM as we dive into Paul’s encouragement to walk alongside and learn from those who are further along in the faith. Together, we will also look to Jesus—our ultimate example—and explore what it practically looks like to disciple those around us, including within our own families.

While that is absolutely part of missions, the New Testament also shows us another side of it — a church that faithfully encourages, supports, prays for, and walks alongside those who have been sent out. In Philippians 4, Paul rejoices because the church in Philippi refused to let him become “out of sight, out of mind.” They showed concern. They shared in his troubles. They supported him in his needs. Their worship of God overflowed into tangible care for those serving on mission. This weekend in our Re-Think series, we’re going to examine what it means to rethink missions biblically. What if missions is not just about going, but also about faithfully sending, encouraging, supporting, and partnering by sharing the Gospel at home?

Without realizing it, our perspective is constantly shifting, like a small boat caught in waves with no anchor. And what’s most concerning is how easy it has become—even for the church—to live this way. We feel the instability, the confusion, the pull of competing "truths"… but what if the problem isn’t the noise around us as much as the foundation beneath us? This weekend, we’re opening up 2 Timothy 3 and stepping into a powerful reminder: God has not left us to figure this out on our own. His Word is not just ancient writing—it is living, active, and God-breathed. It doesn’t bend to culture; it stands above it. It doesn’t just inform our opinions; it transforms how we see everything. When Scripture becomes our filter, clarity begins to break through the chaos—and we start to stand firm in a world that feels anything but steady.

At Christmas, we celebrated “With Us”— Emmanuel! God drawing near in Jesus. But on Good Friday, everything shifts. In John 18–19, we walk through the betrayal, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus and see a wide range of responses: rejection, fear, indifference, and even quiet faith. What happens when the One who was with us is suddenly taken away? For three days, it seems like hope is gone—like everything is now without Him. But the story doesn’t end there. In John 20, we encounter the resurrection—and once again, we see different responses: confusion, doubt, awe, and belief. The empty tomb forces a question each of us must answer: What will I do with the risen Jesus? Easter moves us from without to with Him, inviting us not just to observe the story, but to step into it personally by realizing the joy of our relationship with Jesus!

As news spreads that He has raised Lazarus from the dead, the crowds begin to swell with awe and expectation… while opposition quietly intensifies with deadly intent. Some are ready to crown Him as King, others are determined to see Him crucified. In this moment, one truth becomes unmistakably clear: there is no neutral ground when it comes to Jesus. Join us as we walk through John 12 and wrestle with the question—who do you say He is? From Mary’s humble act of worship as she anoints Jesus for burial, to the growing plot against His life, to His tearful and triumphant entry into Jerusalem, we’ll see Jesus as the Anointed One, the Dangerous One, and the Glorified One. Even as the crowd shouts His praises, the shadow of the cross looms—and Jesus remains fully surrendered to the Father’s will, declaring that everything ahead will bring glory to God. Come and discover the kind of King Jesus truly is—and why following Him will always require a response. - Pastor Ben Key Verse - John 12:13 (NIV) - They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!"

Some are ready to crown Him as King, others are determined to see Him crucified. In this moment, one truth becomes unmistakably clear: there is no neutral ground when it comes to Jesus. Join us as we walk through John 12 and wrestle with the question—who do you say He is? From Mary’s humble act of worship as she anoints Jesus for burial, to the growing plot against His life, to His tearful and triumphant entry into Jerusalem, we’ll see Jesus as the Anointed One, the Dangerous One, and the Glorified One. Even as the crowd shouts His praises, the shadow of the cross looms—and Jesus remains fully surrendered to the Father’s will, declaring that everything ahead will bring glory to God. Come and discover the kind of King Jesus truly is—and why following Him will always require a response. - Pastor Ben Key Verse - John 12:13 (NIV) - They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!"

In John 10, Jesus draws a powerful contrast between false leaders who use and burden people—and Himself as the One who leads, protects, and gives life. He doesn’t trap people in religion… He is the Gate to freedom, the Shepherd who calls His sheep by name, and the One who leads them into something better. But Jesus doesn’t stop there—He makes a bold claim: “I and the Father are one.” He’s not just a teacher or a good example—He is the Son of God. And that leaves us with a question we all have to answer: whose voice are we listening to? Come join us this weekend as we explore what it looks like to hear His voice, follow Him, and experience the abundant life He offers. You’re invited—we’d love to have you with us. - Pastor Ben Key Verse - John 10:14 (NIV) - “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—" For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49567373 This weekend, we’re diving into what it really means to know Jesus as the Good Shepherd.

Philippians 1:3–6 “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this: that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Paul and Timothy are filled with gratitude because of the Philippian believers’ partnership in the gospel. Their support and faithfulness encouraged them and sustained them throughout their ministry and travels. What a reason for joy—to know that you are united with other believers who are praying for you and caring for you out of the blessings God has given them! As a church, how are we doing in partnering together for the mission? Do we pray for one another? Do we care for and support each other? I know we do these things—but I also believe we have even greater opportunities ahead of us to grow in these ways and glorify Christ together. This weekend, we’re excited to explore what it means to partner in the mission of the gospel at MBC as we continue to grow in Christ and move forward for His glory.

And when we don’t understand something, our instinct is usually simple: avoid it. In John 6, the crowd finds Jesus because they want more of what He gave them before. But instead of offering another miracle, He offers something far more... uncomfortable—Himself. Not a formula. Not a checklist. Not something they can earn. Just a call to believe. And the moment faith replaces effort… the crowd begins to drift. Here’s the tension we all have to face: what happens when Jesus stops giving us what we want—and starts inviting us to trust Him for who He is? When the Provider no longer looks like our version of provision… when “my way” collides with the Way… do we lean in, or quietly walk away? This weekend, we’re going to wrestle with a hard question most of us avoid: if Jesus truly has the words of eternal life… why is it sometimes so difficult to keep following Him? - Pastor Ben Key Verse - John 6:35 (NIV) - "Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life.

He had tried on his own for some time to find healing, but now he looks directly into the face of someone who can COMPLETELY heal him — physically AND SPIRITUALLY!!! Will he take Jesus at His word and take his first step or will he continue to lay down in disbelief? We all have hurts and wounds from which we need healing. The question is: where are we seeking for healing? Everyone seems more than willing to provide an answer… (often for quite the financial drop, too, am I right?). Some offer solutions that have been formed solely in the mind of man. Others make their advice sound pretty spiritual by using God’s name and word, but the root is self-righteous and leads to legalism. The truth is that real healing comes when we turn our eyes solely to God, fall on His grace and take the steps He tells us to take.

Other things we buy out of necessity. In this week’s message we step into the moment when Jesus intentionally walks into uncomfortable territory and meets a woman who came looking for water—but discovered something far greater. In John 4, we see what happens when Jesus crosses barriers, exposes what’s really going on in a heart, and offers living water to someone who did not expect it. Together we’ll ask three simple but powerful questions: What have you lost? What have you found? And what will you do now? The disciples lose their comfort and discover a harvest. A woman loses her old thirst and finds the truth. An entire community loses its separation and finds the Savior of the world. This moment is about more than a story from Scripture—it’s an invitation to recognize what Jesus may be helping you lose and find in your own life, and how your story might point someone else to Him.

Rather than asking what it truly takes to enter the Kingdom of God, we often assume we know what is best. We walk a path we have deemed worthy simply because it feels right to us. This mindset can lead to what I would call “soft universalism.” We may claim the name of Christ, yet quietly choose the parts of Scripture we like while setting aside the parts that challenge us. We begin to shape our own understanding of what it takes to enter the Kingdom of God and pursue that version instead. Tragically, this can lead to the sobering reality Jesus speaks of in Matthew 7, when some will hear the heartbreaking words, “Depart from me, I never knew you.” So the question still stands: How do we enter the Kingdom of God? Jesus, in His love and clarity, does not leave us without an answer. This week, as we dive into John 3:1–21, we will look at His interaction with Nicodemus, where He addresses this very question. Nicodemus wrestles with Jesus’ answer because of the spiritual darkness that blinds him—and, if we are honest, can blind each of us as well. Yet Jesus makes it abundantly clear that we must enter the Kingdom on His terms, not our own. Would you join us this Sunday and prayerfully prepare your heart to consider this life-shaping question: How do we enter the Kingdom of God?

Tables were flipped, money scattered, and Jesus declared, “Stop turning my Father’s house into a market.”His anger wasn’t about chaos—it was about something sacred being crowded out. And when they demanded proof of His authority, Jesus pointed beyond the building and straight to Himself. The real temple was standing in front of them. Here’s the uncomfortable question for us: when was the last time you cleaned something because it actually needed it—not because someone was coming over? Sometimes the place that needs cleansing first is the church—not the building, but the body. Over time, good things can become untouchable things. Preferences turn into sacred cows. Ministries stay because “that’s how we’ve always done it.” Comfort starts to matter more than mission. And at the same time, we quietly learn to tolerate what Scripture tells us not to—gossip, slander, hidden addictions, sexual sin, and spiritual compromise. Paul reminds us that a little yeast changes the whole batch. What we allow to remain eventually shapes who we become. But Jesus doesn’t stop with His church—He comes for your home and your heart. Scripture says you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. So the real question is not whether Jesus cares about holiness—it’s whether we do. Are there rooms in your life you keep closed to Him? Habits you manage instead of confess? Sin you explain instead of expose? You were bought at a price. And the same Jesus who once cleansed the temple still has zeal today to cleanse whatever no longer belongs in a house that carries His name. - Pastor Ben Key Verse - John 2:17 (NIV) - "His disciples remembered that it is written: 'Zeal for your house will consume me.'"

In that culture, it meant shame, not inconvenience. Nearby sat six empty stone jars, ordinary and overlooked, meant only for ritual washing. Jesus didn’t make a scene or give an explanation. He simply gave an instruction. What happened next would reveal who He really is—but only to a few. John calls this Jesus’ first sign, the moment He revealed His glory. Not in public, not with power on display, but in hidden emptiness. Joy replaced lack. Ritual gave way to transformation. And somehow, the best was saved for last.

That’s just what it is to be a parent some days! My question is, what are you inviting others to come and see? Jesus gives this simple invitation to two of John’s disciples who are wondering if He is the Messiah John claims Him to be. He invites them to come and see, and when they did they found exactly what they were looking for! This led to Peter, Phillip, and Nathaniel all coming to see Jesus as well. Invitation is common with Jesus. Weather it is the initial “come and see”, or the more intense “follow me” we have been invited into a true, growing relationship with the God of the universe. He doesn’t leave us in invitation, but follows it up with a commission to “go and get”. Have you responded to Jesus? Have you come to see who He is? Have you taken steps to “follow Him”? Are you on mission to “go and get”? Wherever you are, from seeker to missionary, Jesus is inviting you to follow Him.

Wow! What a spiritual experience! He is riding high and life is going to feel like a cakewalk from here on out, right? I think oftentimes we have a Disney-worldly view of Christianity that doesn’t align with God’s word. A cakewalk is not the reality of what happens next for Jesus. This weekend, we will see that Jesus sets an example for us in how we can respond to temptation. He shows that our greatest, basic need is not physical: not food, not affirmation or position. Our primary need is spiritual in nature: it is relationship with God. It is through this relationally grounded mindset that Jesus overcomes temptation. As believers, our faith will be tested, and we will all be tempted in various ways. Will we choose to look to God and His word for wisdom to proceed His way, or are we going to take the easy out? Thankfully for us, Jesus did not take the short cuts offered to him, but he endured the cross and the Father’s wrath for our sin. His victory over temptation shows us why He is the worthy Lamb of sacrifice for the sins of the world and the High Priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses. - Pastor Ken Key Verse - Hebrews 4:15 - “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.” For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49543683 Jesus has just been baptized, His identity was declared by God the Father, and he saw the Holy Spirit descends like a dove. Wow! What a spiritual experience! He is riding high and life is going to feel like a cakewalk from here on out, right? I think oftentimes we have a Disney-worldly view of Christianity that doesn’t align with God’s word. A cakewalk is not the reality of what happens next for Jesus. This weekend, we will see that Jesus sets an example for us in how we can respond to temptation. He shows that our greatest, basic need is not physical: not food, not affirmation or position. Our primary need is spiritual in nature: it is relationship with God. It is through this relationally grounded mindset that Jesus overcomes temptation.

To have someone you respect acknowledge you publicly as someone they are proud of. That can be extremely meaningful! In fact, many of us have walked through life longing for that very experience, and even comprising ourselves in attempts to gain it. The difficulty of all this is that we already have the thing we long for. Approval, acceptance, and love… it’s all found in Jesus if we just are willing to look to Him for it! Jesus received the public approval of His Father in heaven as He was baptized by John the Baptist. This would have been a joyous moment for Jesus, and encouraging to continue walking in obedience to a baptism of suffering that was still ahead of Him. His baptism was one of declaration instead of repentance. Declaring His approval of John’s ministry. Declaring the connection He has with the people around Him also being baptized. The Father and Spirit declaring the identity of the Son in perfect unity. What a beautiful display of God’s plan in motion! For us the question becomes how can we follow the example and call of Jesus? What does it look like to find our approval in Him? Join us Sunday as we dive into His word to see what He has to say about all of this! - Pastor Ben For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49543681 What does it feel like to be approved of?

That you would know Him! And what better way can we know Him than by looking at Jesus, the visible image of the invisible God. So often I have preached to people all over that they need to follow Him, but I wonder how hard it has been to follow someone you may not know. As Jesus’ story continues from His birth, we see Him grow and show more of what He knows. He learns and studies. Grows and discovers. At the age of 12 He clearly is becoming aware of who He is and what the scriptures say about Him. For us we can learn in this section of scripture just how important identity is! Knowing who you are, showing who you are, and growing who you are all matter greatly as we live out our faith!

And yet, as we read through the Gospel of Luke, that’s not what we find. Instead, we encounter ordinary—and if we’re honest, somewhat unassuming—people who play some of the most meaningful roles in Jesus’ story. Luke gently reminds us that Jesus is not only the Messiah for the rich and famous, but the Savior for everyone. This week, we’ll be looking at Simeon and Anna and seeing how God uses faithful, well-seasoned lives to proclaim Jesus as the Messiah—the consolation of Israel. Simeon carries no title, rank, or prestige, yet he recognizes Jesus for who He truly is when many others miss it. Anna, a woman in a world that often preferred women to remain unseen and unheard, becomes one of the boldest voices proclaiming the truth about Jesus. They are ordinary people marked by extraordinary faithfulness to all that God had promised. Simeon and Anna lived with deep conviction and patient hope, trusting that God would bring the salvation they had long awaited. Jesus is the long-promised sign for Israel, and through His work, many would follow Him and live with the same purpose and hope. Yet others would reject Him and choose their own way instead. We’re faced with that same choice today. Will we live with the hope and purpose of Simeon and Anna, or will we pursue our own paths—paths that ultimately lead us away from life? Join us this Sunday at either the 8 or 11 AM service as we look at Jesus the Justifier and discover the purpose He invites each of us into. - Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49533720 If anyone deserved to have His name announced by the most important religious and cultural leaders of His day, it would have been Jesus.

Jesus’ birth marks a pivotal moment in history—when God took on flesh and dwelt among us. Emmanuel, “God with us.” This moment is astonishing on every level. The Maker and Creator of all things entered His own creation to redeem what had been lost. Angels filled the heavens with praise as the Father accomplished this extraordinary work of salvation. We love Christmas and the familiar story of Jesus’ birth, but what if we don’t know it as well as we think? Too often, we admire the beauty of the story without truly beholding the Savior at its center—and it shows in how we live out our faith. My prayer this season is that you would discover the deeper truth behind why angels sang, shepherds searched, Mary treasured these things in her heart, and people marveled. I pray you would experience the peace that comes from truly knowing Him—Emmanuel, God with us. To do that, we must intentionally refocus our hearts and attention on Him. Join us for a special Christmas Eve service at 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM as we look beyond the familiarity of the story and behold the glory of Christ. — Pastor Ben Key Verse: Luke 2:14 (NIV) - "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49533718 Merry Christmas!

There are so many delicious flavors from classic apple and strawberry rhubarb, to mincemeat and chocolate silk. None of these compare to one flavor, though. This kind of pie is homemade every time, though sometimes it’s served up by others to you. It can be made unintentionally, or with intense purpose. It’s no one’s favorite flavor, but it is the one we should all learn to love. I know for myself that while I hate the taste, I also often love the benefits of choking it down. What flavor is it? Humble pie. Humility throw us off so much because of our desire for self gratification and self promotion. To willingly give that up often comes with a slightly bitter taste left in the back of your mouth. The choice to be humble truly is one that brings so much greater reward than anything we could gain by our prideful action. In the Christmas story we get to see this choice play out for Shepherds, Kings from the east, and Herod the ruler in Jerusalem. Their decisions of how they would try to approach the new born King would be significant examples for us of what it looks like to approach Jesus. In your life you have the opportunity to come before the King, and you need to decide the posture you will do that with. Join us this Sunday as we look through what it means to humble ourselves before the King! -Pastor Ben Key Verse - Matthew 2:2 (NIV) - "and asked, 'Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?

Sammis and Daniel B. Towner puts it this way: “Trust and obey. There is no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey.” I always have found these lyrics to feel like a set of sheets made of fine sandpaper. Not because they aren’t true, or the melody isn’t catchy, but because they call out a reality I don’t want to face. I want happiness on my own terms. I don’t want to find joy only in my obedience, but instead I wish that joy could be produced through seeking after whatever my heart desires. This is the posture of our sin nature. Rebellion against the design and plan of God, and a belief that we know better than He does what is best for us. Joseph found out that his betrothed was pregnant, and everything in him was ready to cut ties with her, and run after the life he wanted. Staying connected to Mary would have meant ridicule from all angles, and Joseph had done nothing to deserve that. He knew that what he wanted to do was justified by the Law of Moses, and no one in their community would have questioned it once the news broke. Then God sends an angel… And Joseph has a choice… Trust and obey, even though it may cost you greatly… or go your own way and trust your own judgment. Obedience is not easy. It costs. Sometimes a lot. Yet we are still called to it, and blessed by it as we walk in it. Joseph’s choice to obey meant that he became part of the incarnation story, where God came to dwell with man. Emmanuel. God with us. Join us this Sunday as we dive further into the “With Us” God, and how He uses people like Joseph, and you, for His glory and our good! -Pastor Ben Phillips Key Verse - Matthew 1:24 (NIV) - "When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife."

Maybe they didn’t follow through on a promise or weren’t there when you needed them most. Moments like these can shake our confidence and make us wonder if we can truly trust them again. We’ve all felt that sting. But the good news is that Jesus never fails to keep His promises. Just as He fulfilled the prophecies of His birth spoken centuries before it happened, we can trust that He will continue to be faithful to His promises for us today and for tomorrow. This Sunday, we’ll be diving into Luke 1:26–38 and looking at Jesus’ birth announcement—seeing how every part of His story fits into a much bigger promise God made long before. As we consider what it means to trust Him as Immanuel, “God With Us,” we’ll discover that if He kept His promises in the past, we can confidently trust Him with our future. - Pastor Brandon Marchetti For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49517148 Have you ever had a friend, spouse, family member, or someone close to you let you down?

While many people will be celebrating all over the world, there is a sad disconnect between the holiday and the Savior we celebrate on it. Who is Jesus really? It’s a question that everyone needs to ask at some point, and I pray they do. The gospel accounts of Matthew and Luke both include answers to this important question. They display everyone’s favorite part of any “Bible in a year” reading plan… Genealogies! Matthew records from Abraham to Jesus on Mary’s side, and Luke comes from Joseph’s side all the way to Adam. One gives Jesus legal credibility to the Jews, and one gives connection to all of humanity as we could all be traced back to the very first man, Adam. These lists of people contain som interesting characters and ultimately point us to God’s redemptive power and providence to be able to use whoever He desires to accomplish His perfect will. Join us this weekend as we launch our Christmas series “With Us”, looking at Immanuel! It truly is a powerfully important thing to know the One who has come, God in flesh with us, Jesus. -Pastor Ben Key Verse - Luke 3:23 (NIV) - "Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry.

We serve an incredible God! He has truly been at work here at Mitchell Berean over this last year, just has he has been in the 70+ years of people gathering in this local body. We are seeing people come to faith in Jesus, disciples multiplying, the Gospel going out, missionaries being sent, shepherds being raised up, saints being equipped and serving faithfully, and God providing for us from His abundant riches. It is truly a blessing to sit back and reflect on who He is, what He has done, and how He is moving. Those three areas are where we want to focus as we gather for our Celebration Sunday this week! Who God is, and the unbelievable truth that He has sought after relationship with us. This alone is worthy of endless celebration, yet He goes beyond and has blessed us by doing so much for us! Then He invites us to be part of His mission and works through us! This all should have us overwhelmed with joy! Ephesians 1 teaches us about the blessings we received in Jesus that are ours in the heavenly places.

Over the thousands of years people have studied, learned, and read about Jesus it feels that we have forgotten just how truly radical He was, and is! From His personal walk with the Father, to His intense focus on accomplishing the mission He came for, there are radical things we should be in awe of. One thing that we see in Jesus as his compassion. Intense, deep, gut turning moments for Him where He “should” have been focused on Himself, and yet we see Him care deeply for those around Him. Imagine if we had radical compassion like Jesus did in Matthew 9 as He saw the crowds and cared for them because His compassion was for their real condition. Join us this weekend as Greg Stier, the founder of Dare 2 Share Ministries shares with us about what it looks like to be Radical Like Jesus. -Pastor Ben Greg Stier Bio - Greg witnessed the Gospel radically transform his tough, inner‐city family before he reached adolescence, sparking his passion for evangelism. In 1991, as a young church planter, he founded Dare 2 Share to equip teens to reach their peers with the Gospel. Three decades later, millions of students have been trained and mobilized across the U.S. and around the world. Greg and his wife, Debbie, have been married for 35 years and have two adult children, Kailey and Jeremy, and Jeremy's wife, Kat.

This weekend we take a look at our first person from the New Testament, and it is someone whose God-given purpose was to “prepare the way of the Lord.” (Matthew 3:3). He was prophesied about in the Old Testament, born the son of a priest and given the Holy Spirit before birth. His purpose in life was clear, and he spent his life fearlessly fulfilling the purpose of pointing to the One to come, Jesus. 
While you and I were not granted the Holy Spirit before our birth or individually prophesied about in Scripture, our purpose of pointing to Jesus is similar. We may do that in different ways depending on who God created us and the specific gifts the Holy Spirit has granted each person, but all of us as believers can find true fulfillment in life when we realize our one goal, one objective and purpose in life is to point to Jesus.

We are called to be consistently, and constantly, praying. The Most High God over all the universe desires to be in connection with us, and to hear from us. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY!!! I know how inconsistent I am, how full of complaint and selfish requests, and how unworthy I am to be in connection with Him. Why would He want to hear from me?! The simple answer: He loves us. God made us to be in relationship with Him, and gives us the opportunity to be brought into his family through faith in Jesus. He pursues as a father pursues his child, and invites us to enter His throne room with boldness. There are some great examples of people who consistently prayed in the Bible. One of them is Daniel, who fervently prayed throughout Israel’s exile in Babylon. Daniel prayed so consistently that his enemies were able to use it against him. They manipulated the law to their benefit and made it illegal for Daniel to continue with his regular pattern of prayer. When Daniel saw this he went up to his room and prayed, just like he always did. He knew the risks, but he also knew the one to whom he was praying. Daniel’s radical faith powerfully held him to trust in God even in the midst of dangerous times. Join us Sunday for our worship service where we will dive in to how we can be more radical in our prayer life. - Pastor Ben Key Verse: Daniel 6:10 (NIV) - "Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before." For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49496620 Prayer.

I find myself functioning from a realist mindset based in what I have determined is most likely to happen. While it’s not wrong to have a realistic view of things, there are definitely moments that God calls us to walk by faith and trust him to be the God who can do impossible things! When Moses saw a bush burning on the side of a mountain and went over to check out what was happening I don’t think he was expecting God to speak to him. I don’t think that was even on his radar as a possibility! His reactions to what God had called him to showed a struggle of identity in self, and also in God‘s identity. The Great I AM was ready to answer Moses’s doubts, and walk Moses to faith filled obedience. Moses was not ready. Sometimes God calls, and we want Him to call someone else. But when He calls, He equips, and He goes with and before us. Radical trust in Him leads to incredible things!

Your reputation? Your job? Your life? This question may seem intense, but as we think through radical faith as a church I find that more and more the answer to this question determines a lot about the faith we walk in. Some of us would give everything, while others of us would be more cautious. Wherever you are at the call has been clearly given to us by Jesus to “die to yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Me.” What would it look like to have a faith willing to do that? Radical. Elijah had radical faith. He came on the scene at a time of great idolatry in the nation of Israel. Following the rule of king Ahab and his wife Jezebel they had committed themselves to the false god Baal, who was supposed to be the weather god, controlling the provision of water needed for rich harvests. Elijah begins by declaring the LORD’s power over weather with a 3 year drought, and then came straight at Baal on Mt. Carmel. He shows us radical faith in his bold, public stand for the LORD in the midst of a fallen people. His boldness to trust in God set the stage for one of the most clear displays of the One True God’s authority over all. Elijah was willing to risk everything to call people back to God. Join us this weekend for a worship service where we will dive into this moment in the life of Elijah, and grow in our understanding of what it looks like to be Radical Like Jesus! - Pastor Ben Key Verse: 1 Kings 18:21 - "Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing."

Of course there are! We live with people who are not always trustworthy, and this has taught us to question and guard against trusting things outside of ourselves. This is no different when it comes to our trust of God. Though He has never been untrustworthy, He often seems to lead us into places that feel risky, difficult, and unwanted. Instead of trusting Him, we run. Instead of following Him we try to lead. Instead of submitting to His strength and will, we look at the circumstances and lean on our own understanding. Gideon was just like us. He had grown up in a time where trust with God was broken. Israel was under constant attack from the Midianites, and it seemed as though God had fully abandoned them. So when God showed up to call Gideon to follow Him into battle, it makes sense that Gideon was doubtful. I would have been too! Even in his doubt God was the Good Shepherd who lead him through, and helped him learn how trustworthy The Lord actually is. Gideons faith didn’t start radical, but God did radical things through Gideon’s willingness to trust just a little more with each step. Join us this weekend for a worship service as we dive into what it looks like to be more radical in our faith! - Pastor Ben Key Verse: Judges 7:2 (NIV) - "The Lord said to Gideon, “You have too many men.

We now have the incredible opportunity to meet people where they are with the truth of the gospel of Jesus. What an open door! Let’s walk through it confidently, led by the Holy Spirit. But I want to ask: how should we act, speak, and live when public opinion about Jesus and Christianity is unpopular? It wasn’t that long ago that people were being deplatformed, doxxed, ridiculed, and persecuted in various other ways for speaking truths that you and I know come from God’s Word. Was it easy to speak the truth when we knew something was wrong? Was it easy to openly identify as a follower of Jesus? As we continue in our Radical Like_ series, this weekend we will look at Esther. Her incredible courage to reveal the truth is evident in the way she confronted the hateful actions of an enemy of God’s people. Approaching the king without an invitation was forbidden and punishable by death, yet Esther knew she had been placed in her position as Queen of Persia “for such a time as this” to plead on behalf of God’s people. God used her faith in powerful ways to bring deliverance to the Israelites. I’m looking forward to worshiping with you, communing with Christ with you, and learning from God’s Word with you.

Sometimes we have a great understanding of how we think something should go. We set things up for it, plan for it, build to it, and then wait for it. It is so rare that things actually go according to our plan! Nehemiah had finished the work he had come to do in Jerusalem. He had planned for it, set things up for it, built for it, and then gone back to serve the king believing 100% that he had done all he needed to do to make sure Jerusalem would honor God. When he came back to visit he learned that all that he had worked for have been set aside. This wasn’t easy, and Nehemiah pleaded with God to remember him for the good that he did and not the results that he got. For us, we need to think about not just our plans to do good, but also how to “keep the house clean”. Are there rooms of your life still set aside for your flesh? Join us this weekend for one of our worship services as we finish up the book of Nehemiah together! - Pastor Ben Key Verse - Nehemiah 13:14 (NIV) - "Remember me for this, my God, and do not blot out what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services."

Sometimes we have a great understanding of how we think something should go. We set things up for it, plan for it, build to it, and then wait for it. It is so rare that things actually go according to our plan! Nehemiah had finished the work he had come to do in Jerusalem. He had planned for it, set things up for it, built for it, and then gone back to serve the king believing 100% that he had done all he needed to do to make sure Jerusalem would honor God. When he came back to visit he learned that all that he had worked for have been set aside. This wasn’t easy, and Nehemiah pleaded with God to remember him for the good that he did and not the results that he got.

It is because God cares about the details! If you have ever been in charge of planning an event, you know there is a moment where you switch from the big picture to the small details because they matter. It matters who was selected to work in the temple. It matters who was to take part in dedicating the wall. It even matters that each priest went through each step of purification before they served in the Temple. Details matter! In Nehemiah 11-12, there were questions around "Who was going to live in Jerusalem?", "Who would be responsible for the Temple?", and even "Who is going to watch over the storerooms?" The great reality is God had long ago decided and been orchestrating things to the point of being able to answer those questions. He long ago put the right people in the right spots and brought their stories to this pinnacle point where they could walk into what God has for them. I believe this is still true today! God is working the details of YOUR story so YOU can walk into what God has for you. The question for the Israelites and for us today is how are we going to respond? Join us this Sunday as we look at how God is actively shaping our lives for where He is leading us and even where He is inviting us to have a few more parties.

Life is best understood looking back in the rear view mirror. Psalm 37 is a Psalm that was written by David when he was an old man. He’s looking back and writing this song based on the faithfulness and mercy of God. He addresses a problem that has plagued the people of God since the dawn of time. “Why do the wicked seem to prosper while the righteous suffer?” Whether we will admit it or not, it is also a problem with which we’ve wrestled with from time to time. Sometimes, it almost seems like God favors to bless the wicked and cause suffering for the righteous. Psalm 37 helps us to process this question and to gain a proper perspective.

We can treat prayer as a time for us to make known what we want to God, and in turn we end up feeling that prayer isn’t as powerful as we were told. Prayer is an exercise of faith, calling us to depend on God as the source of all we need. He is the provider, but also He is the Most High God worthy of ALL Praise! Do out prayers reflect that? In Nehemiah 9 we see the people come in sackcloth and with dust on their heads, mourning over their sins and the sins of their ancestors before God. They approach Him humbly in prayer that reflects the heart of Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 6 as we see them praise God for who He is and what He has done. They make requests and admit their sins in true confession. The chapter ends with a unified moment of submission to God as they yield to His authority, protection, care, forgiveness and wisdom. It is clear these people were understanding that prayer was a relational connection with God, rather than a personal list of desires being presented to someone who can give me what I want. Join us this weekend as we dive into prayer together, looking at the powerful tool God has given us for approaching Him. -Pastor Ben Key Verse: Nehemiah 9:3 - "They stood where they were and read from the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for a quarter of the day, and spent another quarter in confession and in worshiping the Lord their God."

Those meetings have a purpose, and have led to the salvation of many, but true revival is not a move or service of man. It is a work of the Holy Spirit as He moves on the hearts of people with conviction. Passion for the word of God grows, sins are confessed and removed, people are drawn to Christ for the first time. Revival is something we desperately need in our community and nation! Throughout history true revival was always sparked, sustained, and strengthened through prayer. People praying for God to move, and continuing to pray. Praying for revival in their own hearts leading to revival around them. In Nehemiah we have seen a man of prayer who desires to see revival in the people. A revival of their dedication to God, and in chapter 8 we see just that begin to happen! Ezra reads from the law, teachers explain understanding to the people, the people gathered together begin to worship God as they face the conviction of sin with the celebration of God’s provision! It is a beautiful thing to see happen, and I believe can, and must, happen again in our church and community. Join us this week as we look through the revival in Nehemiah 8, prayerfully seeking God to revive us as well! -Pastor Ben Key Verse: Nehemiah 8:6 - "Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen!

There were some who had either not been taken into captivity or had escaped that were doing the work to keep things together until the grand reunion and restoration of Israel. This wasn’t an easy or rewarding responsibility, yet through God’s provision, these people had a God-given burden of their own to ensure the necessary work got done, even though they surely felt short-handed. What a joy they must have felt when they saw the full circle completed with the people of Israel’s return. We’ll learn this week of Hananiah, who is described as faithful and God-fearing. Really, he was faithful BECAUSE he was God-fearing. If the people around us were asked what kind of people we are, what are the characteristics that define you and me? Would it be faithful? Would it be God-fearing? These two attributes alone encompass a whole swath of implied characteristics as well, don’t they? Let’s let faithfulness and being God-fearing be how we are seen as we put into practice what we believe, even in seasons of our life that haven’t seem come full-circle yet.

History has proved again and again how empires have fallen when facing internal weakness and external pressure. From the Persians seeing Alexander the Great sweep across the known world, to the Inca and Aztec’s falling to Spanish conquistadors, and the Western Roman Empire collapsing under the attacks of small Germanic tribes, it is amazing how opposition exploits weaknesses. Nehemiah and the people were making great progress on the walls, but Sanballat, Tobiah the Ammonite, the Arabs, and men of Ashdod were not ok with Jerusalem coming back to power. They began use weapons of mass disruption by taunting the workers and ridiculing their efforts. Sadly, this would likely be enough to deter many today from the Lord’s work. The people held strong through prayer, but then faced the threat of physical attack. This was no longer a group of bullies, but a real life threatening situation with enemies on all sides growing impatient, and putting their destruction. This brought on the natural discouragement of doing hard work under pressure, and the constant fear of attack and failure. For each of us today these same things plague our lives. From ridicule and threat, to discouragement and fear we all constantly see opposition from outside and within. There is a reality of an enemy who hates us. There is the sinful flesh that distracts us. Both of these desire to destroy us. How do we battle them and keep walking in obedience to God’s call?

What did you do? Avoiding it won’t get it done. Stressing out about it frustrates not only ourselves but everyone around us. Have you tried taking it to God and laying your burden before Him and letting Him open the doors then walking through as He provides? Have you asked your church family for help? That’s why we are here! God placed a burden on Nehemiah’s heart for the walls of Jerusalem to be rebuilt. This week, we see how God opens the door for Nehemiah to talk with the king about his burden, and it is even further opened for him to have time off and to make requests for resources from the king. Nehemiah’s heart and attitude that has been practiced in private comes out clearly in public, then he boldly makes requests knowing that the hand of God is moving. This keeps him confident even in the face of opposition. Key Verse - Nehemiah 2:17 - Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.” For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49450996 Have you faced a project that seems insurmountable but you knew it needed to get done?

Like the constant voice of an enemy reminding us of our shortcomings, burdens can bring us to our knees in a crippling fashion. These are the every so common, and constant status of people all over the world. One of the greatest burdens we feel is the one to please God. It can feels impossible to lift, likely because on our side apart from Christ it is. This kind of burden we are called to lay down in trusting dependence on God. As we step into Nehemiah there is a burden we see not land on his shoulders as many burdens do, but this one sinks into his heart. This kind of burden is different… Instead of pressure to perform, there is an urgent need to act. An unrelenting draw and call that caused Nehemiah’s heart to ache and his spirit to feel weak. This kind of burden we are called to take up and run with endurance until it is resolved. What kind of burden do you carry today?

When I was a child I remember crawling under a shelf in the shape of an elephant. There was a cool “cave-like” feel to the space underneath, and I had ventured there many times before, but this time was different. I had grown, and when I twisted myself into the hole, I realized I was not going to be able to turn around and crawl out… Panic set in as I felt like I may never escape this.. At that moment our family dog stuck her head in the entrance hole, and began bearing her teeth and growling at me, as she could not see who I was, but I was in her favorite place… I knew I was a goner! I was trapped, with no way out, and the one opening I could possibly make it through was blocked by an angry animal… This is what Idolatry does to us. We seek some sort of feeling or experience that promises to be fulfilling, only to find that it was a lie to trap us in a painful, dangerous, and shame filled cycle of giving into our sinful nature. Idolatry is the root sin that leads to every other. If we don’t deal with it at the root, we will find it very hard to avoid the traps. The beauty of God’s word shows us a way of escape even when there seems to be none, and reminds us that God Himself is on our side! Even if it means discipline to correct us, exposure of our sin to bring light to our eyes, or stepping in to do what we cannot and freeing us. His way’s are always for our good! Join us for a service this weekend to look at the idolatry of Israel that led them to become captives, just in the same way we fall captive to sin today. THERE IS FREEDOM FROM IT IN CHRIST!

We may be able to see the target, but there is a reason why competitions are held in accuracy. In the book of acts we have seen a target come into focus when it comes to Church Structure. How God planned, and designed the church to function for His glory above all else. As a church we want to walk in accordance with the word of God, that we in this local expression of the Body of Christ may bring Him glory, honor, and worship that is due His name. In Acts chapters 1-6 we see the gathering of the church in its original formation. From chapter 7-14 we see the spread of the church from the Jew to the Samaritan, to the Gentile! Just as Jesus proclaimed and called them to do in Acts 1:8. Finally we see the establishment of churches throughout the known world with structure, leadership and focus on the mission in Acts 14-28.

There is just something about a personal letter in the mailbox to break up the constant barrage of bills and ads.

How did he know where to go? How did he know he would care? Because of the consistency of this person’s life AND his commitment to always speak the truth in love. While we don’t have control over a person’s reception of the message of the Messiah, we can sow seeds and pray diligently for God to do His work in the person’s heart to open their eyes. Then, when the person is ready, they know who to come to, and we can play a part in the eye-opening by sharing Jesus as the Messiah. We are wrapping up the final text of Acts this weekend. Paul is under house arrest and gathers the leaders and later a larger group of influential people. He spends an entire day trying to convince them of the kingdom of God and of Jesus the Messiah. Some are convicted, but still others are blinded. Paul didn’t pick and choose with whom he shared this truth; he shared it with everyone who showed up. Who is it that you can influence? Pray for opportunities — that God would open your eyes to when and where you should be speaking truth in love. Let’s be a church in which everyone humbly prays, “God, open my eyes,” then is ready to move as God leads. Key Scripture: Acts 28:30-31 - "He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance."

One who desires our demise, hates the image we are made in, and seeks to destroy us in whatever way he can. For many believers in Jesus today there is a blindness to this reality, and it is time we opened our eyes to the schemes of the devil. When we become aware of his attacks it helps us to see the powerful authority of Jesus, and our safety within Him. The attacks against us are not often the ones we want to claim. Flat tires, burnt tongues from hot coffee, and accidental auto-corrects are tough to blame Satan for, because in scripture we see him being much more cunning. Instead of just using frustrating inconveniences, he often uses distractions, half-truths, and manipulations through shame in order to bring us down. This is where our strength and ability is often weak, but our Lord who is with us is the strength in our weakness that we can boast in! Paul, coming to the end of his journey to Rome, could have easily been distracted by what were potentially attacks to discourage him. He was shipwrecked, snake bitten, and imprisoned. These struggles would take most of us out today! He also was seen as a god by people who worshipped many false gods. He could have easily bought into the lie for his own glory, as most people would. Instead we see Paul remain focused for the Glory of God. He did this because He understood the ever present truth that God had penned through him in Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Join us for church this weekend at Mitchell Berean as we step into the last chapter of our study though Acts. -Pastor Ben Key Verse - Acts 28:15 (NIV) - "The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us.

That is why it is so important for us to know the words Jesus himself spoke to describe who He is! There is no need for a guessing game, arguments, or stretches of the imagination to know Him. He has made Himself known clearly. Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15). He is God in flesh, who has dwelt among us (John 1:1-14). He is the Lamb of God who has taken away the sin of the world (John 1:29). He is the One through whom all things were made (John 1:3). Each of these statements of who Jesus is could be seem as claims from others about Him… So what does He Himself claim to be? John 14:6 tells us that Jesus claims to be “The Way, The Truth, and The Life”. This is a HUGE claim from Him, and if it is correct it changes EVERYTHING. Spoiler alert… It IS correct!

His disciples, who were with Him for 3 years hid in fear. The women who followed Him stood in shock. The world itself grew dark and shook with grief as the wrath of the Almighty God was poured out on His perfect Lamb. As we come together for Good Friday, we remember the atonement for sin that Jesus made on our behalf at the cross. This image of Jesus brings to mind many differing views of Him. We have looked over the last 2 weeks at who the World says He is, and who your circle says He is. No we zoom in even more to ask the same question Jesus asked His disciples: “Who do YOU say that I am?” We all have versions of Jesus that we create in our minds, yet each of them truly falls short to the reality of Him shown in His word.

So when the world tries to answer questions about Jesus on their own apart from the Word of God, the conclusion they reach is misaligned with who Jesus actually is and the real reason why he came. Last week’s zoomed-out view studied 4 erroneous beliefs we see the world has concluded about Jesus. We’ll zoom in a little further on Sunday to look at what our circle, the people living around us, may think about Jesus and how we can direct their thinking toward truth. Or maybe some of us have been deceived. Pray that we can come to understand the real Jesus as He really is. This weekend, we will allow God’s word to answer questions about Jesus such as: Was Jesus fueled by selfish motives? Does Jesus really care what pathway to God we’re on? Is it Jesus’ primary concern that I receive whatever makes me happy? And what do I need to do to ensure I stay on Jesus’ good side? Let’s point well to Jesus together! The real Jesus of the Bible.

This can be a dangerous way to live, as not eery opportunity is the best thing for us, or even more specifically, in agreement with God’s will. There are opportunities, however, that we as believers are supposed to jump at. The opportunity to share the Gospel! In this week’s section of Acts we find Paul presented with three opportunities before eh rulers of the both Jews and Gentiles to give the truth of the Gospel, and he takes them! Rejecting his own opportunities to defend and escape for himself, he instead focuses on the purpose to which he had been called by Jesus. Paul wasn’t the only one who faces opportunity.. The people who hear the Gospel from him also have an opportunity. How do they respond? Well… not great… These same responses are seen to this day when Gospel opportunity comes up, and we as believers need to be ready to walk with people through them.

It’s a story that includes our life before Jesus, then what Jesus did to bring us to Himself, then an after-Jesus ending that is still being written and will be fulfilled in eternal life in Heaven. It’s an exciting story that shouldn’t be kept to ourselves. When we bury our story, how does God get the glory for the redemption He accomplished in our life and how does the world hear the message of hope so they can enter into new life? As we look at Acts 22-23 this weekend, we see Paul not shying away from telling the shameful things he did before Jesus but rather using these things to show his need for a Savior. He gives God credit for intervening and changing the course of his life. Jesus himself then ministers to Paul after his testimony and encourages him to “[t]ake courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome” Paul is just telling his God story and testifying about God, then he is entrusting the results and his future up to God - he is commended by Jesus Himself for doing this! We are so tempted to try to orchestrate everything going on around us rather than trusting God and walking in simple obedience to what he has called all believers to do. Can we take that next step of faith together as a church family and walk into what God has for us, even if it means we don’t know what that exactly looks like? We will be faithful to God’s call and will watch for what He does. We will trust Him and His plan for us and tell of all He has done in the meantime!

I think of my good friend Colleen Howard and her recent passing, and I cannot help but be full of joy and conviction. Joy at the fact that we have a home prepared for us in Heaven by a Savior who was willing to stay committed, whatever the cost, to the mission He was on. Joy that Colleen knew Jesus well, walked with Him in life, and now knows Him in greater ways than I can understand. Conviction because of the example set by Colleen and many others who have lived lives committed to Christ and His Cause. I think of my own walk and desire a deeper commitment, connection, and purpose to drive me. The Apostle Paul was one of these people, and as we look at Acts 21 we can see his unwavering commitment to Christ, His Cause, His Church, and His Cross. The surpassing value of knowing Christ drove Paul to be willing to lose everything and take hold of the treasure of Jesus. This weekend, my prayer is that we as a church can take steps towards this same heart. Committing ourselves more fully to the One who has given all for our sake. Praise God for Jesus! Praise Him for His forgiveness and grace! Praise Him for His promises we can stand firmly on! Praise Him for the truth of the Gospel, and the hope we have! Let that be the cry of our hearts, echoing the “great cloud of witnesses” who have led by example with lives that truly proclaim “to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Join us this weekend for one of our worship services at 8am or 11am.

(It was the first time Christina had seen it… can you believe that?) There is a scene in which Westley and Buttercup approach the Fire Swamp. Despite rumors of no one ever surviving the forest due to random bursts of flame, hidden quicksand and R.O.U.S.’s (look it up), Westley neared it confidently. His state of mind remains unfazed as each obstacle comes, and he cares for Buttercup through every trial, talking casually while the forest throws its best challenges to ensnare them. I imagine this mentality in Paul as he receives insight from the Holy Spirit that there is trouble awaiting him ahead. Why does he keep going when this is revealed to him? Because the larger gospel mission to which he has been called bears much more importance. He even states that he doesn’t even value his own life that much, saying, “I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Do you see that Paul’s perception of his value in life that propels him forward comes from the purpose God gave him? Some of us are pursuing things that we think have value but will leave us empty. Is growing your business something that you think will increase your value? It won’t. Is getting yourself navigated into the right social circles what you value? Let me tell you, it isn’t worth much. There are so many other things that we are pursuing, but the only thing of worth is this: accomplishing the purpose for which God put you on earth. When we discover that God-given purpose, then we can walk through life’s flames and hidden quicksand with a confidence that is out of this world — because it truly is from out of this world. As Paul encourages the church leaders in this passage, he confidently states that his conscience is clear because he did not withhold teaching about anything; he had taught them the whole counsel of God and has no regrets about running his race well. Let’s live with purpose and on purpose, completing the task(s) to which God has individually called us so we can state with confidence that our conscience is clear before God.

Like the crashing waves of the ocean, or the wind of a building thunderstorm, when we come across something powerful it can cause many different reactions. In the same way, the power of God displayed through the life and work of Jesus and His followers causes many different reactions and responses from the surrounding world. In acts 19-20 Paul is used by God in Ephesus to display His power. Power to heal, unite, save, redeem, restore, and protect.

Not because we’re all quitters, but because it is a constant temptation we all face as people! The easy thing would be to walk away when things get difficult or uncomfortable. On the other hand though… what do we miss out on if we give up? What else does God have planned for us if we persevere? It is time for us as a church to find out the answer to those questions! To persevere in our personal and cooperate walks with Jesus, willing to face trials, persecution, struggle, or anything else because of the great reward that we have in Him! As we study Acts 18, I pray you will see the purpose of walking in trust of God, as He often calls us into situations that are not the easiest. Situations that require us to stick with it even in the face of adversity.

Whether we are the one reacting, or someone else, the thought of a bad reaction will keeps us from saying, doing, or experiencing so much in life. There may be good reason for some things to not happen, but when it comes to sharing our faith we need to be able to overcome fear of reactions and take action steps for the sake of the lost. Paul in Acts 17 continues his missionary journey, boldly proclaiming the truth about Jesus even in the midst of some interesting responses from mobs, religious groups, and political establishments. As Paul focused on the mission, God brought the fruit. People from every place responded to the Gospel and joined the growing movement of Jesus followers. We as believers today have much we owe to the movement happening in this chapter of Acts, as the boldness of Paul fueled the spread of the Gospel in Europe, eventually bringing the truth to us.

It can be humorous, frustrating, comforting, and confusing depending on the circumstances. Spiritually there are times where we find what seem to be closed doors. Moments and opportunities we hoped would come, but God seems to have other plans about. When these closed door moments happen, what is your typical response? Obedience and patience? Frustration and confusion? Whatever it is, my prayer is that we as believers can learn to trust God in His good pleasing and perfect plans. Paul and his ministry team faced a solidly closed door in Acts 16, where they tried to enter Asia for ministry, but God needed them to go to Europe. I am sure there was frustration and confusion for Paul, but because of his trust of God it was made clear pretty quickly that God wanted to move in another direction. This direction was full of open doors for ministry that sparked movement and encouragement into the church even to our current time. When God says no, listen. When God says go, listen. When we listen it is AMAZING what He will do. Join us this weekend for one of our worship services as we look deeper into the journey of the Gospel through Acts, and how we continue that journey today. -Pastor Ben Key Verse: Acts 16:31 (NIV) - 'They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”' For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49379530 All of us have likely experienced a locked door.

Especially something that they clearly do not deserve. It makes us uncomfortable, confused, and even ashamed at times because of the reality we know, that we could never earn or deserve what we’ve received. In the early church there was a great struggle that arose because of this very situation. The Gentiles had received salvation, but they hadn’t gone through the same grueling process that the Jewish believers had. Some from among the Jewish believers were having a very hard time accepting that salvation could be as easy as Jesus said, and they began to teach something called legalism. Legalism is an idea that there needs to be something else I do in order to help pay for my sins. Something I need to add in order to make it real or official. Jesus did not pay only part of the bill… He paid it all, in full! And not just for your table, but for the whole restaurant! There is no need to add legalistic requirements to salvations, because every legal requirement was met in Jesus’ death. Every victory was won at His resurrection. Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life. Join us this Sunday at 8am or 11am as we dive into Acts 15 together and see how the church, and we, should respond to legalism. -Pastor Ben For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49377353 One of the most difficult things for people to understand is when they or someone close to them receives something for free.

If we have no plan or objective in our life, then we have no choice but to follow our feelings and impulses to make ourselves more comfortable and surface-level happy. But when we embrace the mission that God has given to us, He supernaturally gives us a steadfastness to remain focused on the things of eternal importance. In Acts 14, the highest of highs are experienced through miracles of God while at the same time the lowest of lows are seen in undermining and even murder. Through it all, the apostles stay focused on the mission and return home from their first missionary journey with testimony of all that God had done in the region.

We celebrate the coming Messiah, enjoy(mostly) time with our families, and give gifts to one another that represent joy and love. It truly is a wonderful time! The first Christmas, however, was not so wonderful for everyone. There were many different reactions to the birth of Jesus, and while some were positive, many were very against Him. Apathy, fear, anger, and scheming on one side met by rejoicing, praising, seeking, and sharing on the other. What has been your response to Jesus? Do you find yourself reflected in one of those responses? Jesus was not just promised to come in Bethlehem, but also promised to come again. We have time now to consider our response to who He is, what He has taught, and what He has done, but that time grows shorter every second leading to His return. The gift of life through Him is free.

The prophecies spoken about Jesus’ birth in the Old Testament often come with dual meaning. Sometimes there is an imagery angle in an Old Testament character like Moses, Joshua, or David, but also point clearly to Jesus. Other times there is a prophecy that is fulfilled not just by one moment in Jesus’ life, but by several moments and characteristics seen in the Savior. This week as we look into the prophecies declared fulfilled in Matthew 2:19-23 my hope is that we as a church can direct the glory in our hearts back towards the one who truly deserves it.

Prophesied some 700 years earlier, God through the prophet Isaiah predicted the Messiah’s birth, that God would be with us. Matthew 1 quotes Isaiah’s foretelling in verse 23: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name ‘Immanuel’ (which means, God with us).” We as God’s people realize that God’s presence is among us now because of the redemptive work Jesus accomplished on the cross.

However, the more you look at “the reason” the more miraculous it becomes. Did you know Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies? Many of these prophecies began taking place during the time of His birth. Prophecy is more than a foretold event. Rather prophecy is a revelation of God’s heart and will. Prophecy is more than simply evidence that Jesus is the Messiah, but in addition, prophecy reveals to us who the Messiah is and who we are. This is why we are so excited for our next series “As Promised.” We are going to discover more about the nature of Jesus, the nature of man, our purpose, and how we can practically live out “the reason for the season.” Come join us this week as we discover the fulfilled promise of an awaited king born in a little town called Bethlehem. Key Scripture - Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

The Jewish believers of the early church felt this and struggled heavily with the ways God chose to move among the Gentiles. As they worked on understanding and accepting the direction God was leading in Acts 11 He just kept moving forward! There is truth to understand that nothing will be able to hinder God’s plan from being accomplished in His timing, and for His glory! His word and character help us to trust in the midst of confusing movement, but, like the Jewish believers we see throughout the New Testament, we don’t always take the help they offer… If you’ve ever found yourself in a place where God was doing something, but you were not aware, ready, or comfortable with how He was doing it you will find good company in the beginning of Acts 11. The call to us as believers is to still find ways to trust and praise God as He moves, because when we do we witness Him going far beyond what we could ask or imagine. The book of Acts started with Jewish Followers of Jesus, but at this transition point we see the explosion of the faith in the Gentile world. It was among the Gentiles even that the term Christian was first used to describe the followers of Jesus.

They had a good image going for being very spiritually rich, and full of devotion to God, but it was surface level at best and down right corrupt at its worst. This week as we look into Acts 7, Stephen gives a sermonette to the religious Jews who were accusing him falsely, about this very reality. They had lost their way. They had forgotten their founding faith, worshipped wrongfully the idols of the surrounding cultures and self, and rejected the redeemers God had sent them again and again to draw them back to Himself. We as Christians today aren’t often much better… We walk in surface level religion instead of true faith. We worship whatever promises to fulfill us, abandoning whatever may get in our way. We often live lives that believe we can take care of ourselves instead of trusting in the Redeemer. This is a culture for the glory of me rather than the glory of God!

It feels good, looks good, sounds good… Nobody will question us for doing good! The reality the early church faced in Acts 6 was one where doing what was good could cause them to abandon the greater calling. No one would have questioned them.

The result is a wide-sweeping reverential fear across the whole of God’s people. In contrast to the irreverent behavior of these two at the beginning, we see the boldness of the Apostles as they share the gospel confidently in the midst of opposition. It is here we see their fear of the Lord played out as they all say, “We must obey God rather than man.” God sees our hearts and knows if we are completely sold out to him or if we are holding back a portion for ourselves. God also calls us to fear and obey him no matter what the earthy consequence may be.

This is the same man who denied Jesus three times on the night of His betrayal, and now he is drawing others’ attention to their denial of Jesus and need for repentance and belief in Him for eternal life! For us to be on mission as a church, we need to be looking to help with the physical needs of others and remembering their greater need of a Savior in Jesus.

Once we started having kids and the family was growing those values became all the more important for us to hold to and keep focused on! In the early church we see values come in quickly that identified them as followers of Jesus, united them as one body, and launched them forward towards the mission.

In the early church we see values come in quickly that identified them as followers of Jesus, united them as one body, and launched them forward towards the mission. The Church today is called to be driven by the same values towards the same mission, but are we? Join us this weekend to dive into the next part of our series through the book of Acts, “A New Tribe”. -Pastor Ben Main passage: Acts 2:42-47 For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49315845 When my wife and I got married and formed the initial framework of a new family we began to identify values that focused us.

This "ekklesia" refers to a community dedicated to a divine cause. Jesus' intent was to establish a movement with a mission to glorify God by reaching every nation. This purpose is highlighted in Acts 2:1-41, where the diverse language groups gathered in Jerusalem witnesses the birth of a new community—the Church. This new movement, birthed at Pentecost, signifies a shift in God's plan for humanity. Instead of a single nation, God now seeks worshipers from every tribe and tongue, uniting them in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Rev. 5:9-10 The Church, therefore, is not just a building or social organization but a global, transformative body empowered by and indwelt with the Spirit and committed to spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. This mission is anchored in the resurrection of Jesus, who promised that belief in Him leads to eternal life. The Church's role is to boldly declare this message and live out its divine mission and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to make disciples who will make disciples and change the world.

We can study maps and pictures, but the real thing is often different than what we can visualize through graphics. Or perhaps you have helped start a new group, organization, or club. Whenever a new group forms there is excitement and often times some confusion. What should we do? How should we do it? In Acts chapter 1 we see A New Tribe forming. The mission and even locations that the New Tribe is given are given are new. They have never done this before. Yet they have peace and direction because of the Word of Christ. He did not leave the New Tribe directionless to figure things out on their own. Rather He gave them the Truth needed to be established in God’s love and purpose. Come join us this Sunday as we study how the “New Tribe” navigated their new beginnings.

We see this as people are drawn to various kinds of communities. Community can provide a sense of identity, belonging, and simply being involved with something that is bigger than yourself. This can come by way of sports teams, a job, a hobby, community support groups, home school groups, AMWAY groups, etc. Yet there is something that separates Christian community, or at least should. Christians are not connected based on ethnicity, economic status, political bend, shared interests, a set of morals, or even a common goal. Christians are connected based upon a Person, Jesus Christ. Jesus gives us His Spirit that connects us at a deeper level than anything else on this planet can. Our fall series will take us through the first 11 chapters of Acts as we look at how “A New Tribe” was birthed. How God developed a unique community by the Person of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the truth of God’s Word.

Maybe you've served in the military and have been sent on missions full of intense complexity. Maybe your mission has looked more like having to find the correct brand of almond milk from the grocery store. Either way, mission demands a certain mindset. A laser focus on what you set out to accomplish, and a passionate loyalty to see it through to the end. This attitude of mission is exactly what we as believers in Jesus are called to carry every day. The intensity is high because the stakes couldn't be higher. People every day are dying, separated from the One who can bring them hope and life. As the Church we are called to carry the powerful message of the Gospel, to make disciples, and to lovingly care for each other as we push one another on to see the mission accomplished. I will be honest with you... It's not an easy thing... But you were made for it!  Join us this weekend to finish up our "Seeing Clearly" series with a deep look into the mission before us. - Pastor Ben Main Passage: Matthew 28:18-20 For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49299627 Have you ever been on a mission?

This is commonly stated, but is not exactly true. Jesus did talk about money a lot, but He usually was not really talking about money. He was usually using money as a topic to take a look at a deeper heart issue. We all know that money can have a way of dominating our life.

Or maybe you had been hearing someone speak and then realized you couldn’t remember anything that they said? Welcome to human nature! It is our natural instinct to be bad listeners. In fact, while finishing my Masters degree I found an incredibly interesting study that detailed how almost all pastors said they were good listeners. Yet when their congregation was interviewed most pastors were discovered to be very poor listeners. They were quick to interrupt and quick to assume they had the right answers before carefully listening. Jesus did not need a psychological study to know this about human nature.

We have a consistent talk of self-promotion that declares us fully justified in our action, or lack there of. This has led us to a very similar place as the people of Jesus’ time. They believed that through the Law they were able to fully justify themselves. Jesus consistently taught that the Law itself pointed out our need for a savior, not that if we are good enough we can be our own savior. As we look through the parable of the Good Samaritan we can see how Jesus turned the dime on the self-justified culture, and called them(and us) to realize our brokenness and inability to justify ourselves.

The “inner-pirate” in me loves the adventure, passion, and pursuit. People will give everything they have chasing after gold that may or may not exist, but I want you to image that you have found a treasure you weren’t expecting. Something far greater than gold. Something so valuable it causes everything else in life to pale in comparison. What would you give to gain that treasure? Our values can often be found in our bank statements, because we spend on what we care about. Our culture thrives on having what we want, taking what we want, or longing for what we want. This is not the way of a Christ follower! We are to live differently because we are citizens of a Kingdom that is more valuable than anything this world has to offer.

What an interesting animal for God to use as a description of us! They are not the strongest, fastest, smartest… in fact they don’t really have much to offer at all! God doesn’t use this term to be as descriptive of us as it is used to be descriptive of Him. He is the Good Shepherd. We are His flock. He cares, guides, corrects, directs, provides, and protects us. How does He do those things today? Through “under-shepherds”. God works within the local church to raise up Elders who are called to shepherd the flock for Him.

Did you get the impression that everything was going to be comfortable and God was going to erase all your problems away once you got saved? Did you think that the ease of life would then make you happy? This self-serving view of salvation is not what Scripture speaks about.

This Holy Week mini-series is titled “The Pledge, The Turn, The Prestige.” Some of you may know that these are the three parts of a magic trick. “The Pledge” is the part of a trick when an object is shown to the audience to be ordinary. The presenter then causes the object to disappear in the next part of the trick called “The Turn.” The audience is left wondering in bewilderment and confusion what has happened and where the location of the object is. During the final step, “The Prestige,” the object is then presented again through a seemingly impossible action, and sometimes the object is better than it was before. This first weekend of the series, Palm Sunday, we will be looking at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus, God’s selected Lamb for the passover sacrifice, and the peoples’ acceptance of Him as a savior from their political oppression. Had the people known God’s Word, they would have known that “The Turn,” Jesus’ death, was coming, and He would be hidden away in a tomb for a time. They also would have known that Jesus would then return in an astounding “Prestige” by raising from the dead. Our real need isn’t a situational savior who delivers us from hardships here on earth but rather a Savior who can redeem us from our sin into eternal life and restored relationship with God Himself! The Pharisees rejected God’s selection for the Sacrificial Lamb. Will we accept or reject God’s selection: Jesus?

Does it come from being right, smart, or confident? 1 Peter instructs us that our clean conscience comes from Christ Himself as we honor Him first in our heart. However, there are many attacks from sin, the world, people, and even our own thoughts that want to drive us to live with a guilty, angry, and clouded conscience. Without a clean conscience we warned in Scripture that we are headed for “shipwreck in the faith.” Come join us this week to find how we can honor Christ in our hearts and trust the One with all authority and power!

When the church forms, in the book of Acts, one thing that happens quickly is a community is formed. These new believers in Jesus start to spend time together and build relationships. This is called The Gathering and there is a strategy and a purpose to it. In Acts 2:41 there are about 3000 adults who respond to Peter's message regarding Jesus. The following verse tells us what they began to do together. They devoted themselves to four things that make up Biblical Fellowship among believers.

As we work our way to Christmas we are viewing the Christmas story through the eyes of those who lived it. This weekend we look through the eyes of the Shepherds. The shepherds were common people who were faithfully doing their job on the night Jesus was born. On guard duty, protecting their sheep, without warning an Angel appeared cutting the dark night with power and light. Soon the armies of heaven were on display as these messengers proclaimed to them the coming of the Messiah. Once the Shepherds went to see Jesus they went throughout the small town of Bethlehem telling everyone what they had seen. I wonder what it was that convinced you that Jesus is real and that what the scriptures teach was actually going to play out in your life. What was it that caused you to be so amazed that you had to tell someone what had happened to you? Join us this weekend for a sermon about what happens to us when we see the glory of God.

In this series we are looking at the coming of Jesus through the eyes of different characters who lived the story. This week we will try to gain the perspective of the Wise Men who came from the East to see Jesus. Likely with information handed down from Daniel over 500 years before them, they were watching and waiting with anticipation for the arrival of this divine leader. Because they were watching, they saw his star in the sky and quickly set out to find him and Worship Him. This response by gentile Astrologer/Priests is profound. Though Jesus is a King to the Jews these leaders travel far to see him, and they come to Worship! This should be our response as well. Jesus came to the Jewish people but as Matthew's gospel tells us at the end, his salvation is available to all the world. Will you come and worship him with us this weekend?

In this series we are looking at the coming of Jesus through the eyes of different characters who lived the story. This week we will try to gain the perspective of the Wise Men who came from the East to see Jesus. Likely with information handed down from Daniel over 500 years before them, they were watching and waiting with anticipation for the arrival of this divine leader. Because they were watching, they saw his star in the sky and quickly set out to find him and Worship Him. This response by gentile Astrologer/Priests is profound. Though Jesus is a King to the Jews these leaders travel far to see him, and they come to Worship! This should be our response as well. Jesus came to the Jewish people but as Matthew's gospel tells us at the end, his salvation is available to all the world. Will you come and worship him with us this weekend?

This year we will be experiencing the Christmas story through the eyes of several different individuals who actually lived it out. This first weekend we will view the arrival of Jesus the Son of God, through the eyes of his earthly human father, Joseph. Joseph was not Jesus' biological father due to the fact that Jesus was placed in Mary's womb by the Holy Spirit. This created an awkward situation for Joseph who was engaged to Mary and planning to be married. In Jewish culture Mary's pregnancy, by someone other than Joseph, would have been so disrespectful and shameful that because of it, the marriage would not have taken place. Join us this weekend as we see the Christmas story through Joseph, a man who surrendered his plan to God's plan despite the cost.

Would you tell him to hide so he doesn’t suffer the same fate as you? Would you plead with him to be careful where and when he proclaimed the Gospel? Would you warn him not to tell the authorities about your friendship so as to avoid scrutiny? This was the actual situation the Apostle Paul found himself in at the end of his life. Sitting in possibly the most dreaded dungeon Rome could offer, Paul chose to write a final letter to his beloved friend and co-laborer in the faith, Timothy. We can learn so much from this beautiful letter. On Sunday we will bear down on chapter 2; specifically, we will consider the instruction Timothy received on continuing the mission and continuing to spread the Gospel of Christ. Paul gives his friend encouragement, warnings, and direction regarding the monumental task he is about to undertake. I am praying that Sunday morning we can learn more about the obstacles in the early church, God’s plan for overcoming those obstacles, and how we too can be “Timothys” in the present church; strong in the grace that is Christ Jesus.

In this series we have been working our way through the book of 1 John. In this letter written to first century believers, we have been refocusing on our fellowship or relationship with God through Jesus. This final chapter of the book is focused on an important theme that we must live out if we are to accomplish the mission Jesus has called us to. The theme of the final chapter of 1 John is OVERCOMING. We have all faced big challenges in our lives, challenges that could stop us from becoming the people we are called by God to be. God is working to change us and we must work with him in this process. We are called in this chapter to be overcomers in this world for God. It is through faith that we become children of God. Once in His family we obey Him because we love Him. It is through obedience to God that we stay in fellowship with Him. This fellowship with God is what ensures that we will win the battle against the evil world we live in. Join us this weekend for the final message in this series called PERFECT LOVE.

In this series we are praying that everyone in our church experiences the power of perfect love. In order to follow Jesus you can't just know about Him, you need to know him personally. This requires that you meet Him and respond to His love and forgiveness. In the letter of 1 John we are learning about the nature of this fellowship or relationship with God through Jesus. This week we come to the difficult topic of Love. Not love for God but love for other believers. This is hard because other believers are not perfect and act, at times, in ways that make them hard to love. John pushes us past our issues with others behavior, to act like the Disciples of Jesus that we are. This means that we will be able to love each other well even when we don't behave well. Jesus puts His life in us and that life makes us soft hearted towards other believers even when they hurt us.

This will be the fourth message in this series as we work our way through 1 John. In this series we want everyone in our church to experience the power of perfect love. God's love changes everything in our lives and this weekend we will learn about how it transforms us. God's love awakens us to understand who we were really created to be. God created us to reflect him and so in and through Jesus our sins can be forgiven and our spirits can be brought to life. This work of God allows us to be called children of God. 1 John 3:1 tells us this fact, we can see how much the father loves us because he calls us his children. Being called children of God gives us a new identity. Your identity will determine how you live and so having this new identity calls us into a different way of life. As a child of God you have fellowship or a relationship with him. The evidence that you have a relationship with God is revealed in how you live, especially how you act towards others. A relationship with God will drastically change these things.

We will be learning from 1 John the type of connection we can have with God through Jesus. John, who was one of the twelve disciples, actually knew Jesus. He lived with him for three years and in that time his life was transformed. He continued to follow him through the Holy Spirit's presence in his life even after Jesus returned to Heaven. This personal connection we can have with God through Jesus is available but in order to experience it we must choose to be close to God. The apostle John continues the theme of the importance of fellowshipping (having a relationship) with God. He explains that a relationship with God is active not passive. In order to experience God we must turn from our sin, hatred, and bitterness, and must turn to love and forgiveness. This is all rooted in the fact that Jesus did the same for us. He died for us, He loved us, and He forgave us while we were still sinners and against Him (Romans 5:1-11). Out of our love and gratitude from experiencing the love of God we too must walk as He walked… in love!

God's love is perfect and because it is perfect it has the power to change and transform us. We learn in the scriptures that we will only experience this change if we experience his love. How much power does Love have? The power to change everything in your life. God's love has the power to give us new life, to make our past go away and give us a new beginning. This weekend we will see the power that God's love has through the story of Nicodemus. He came to Jesus skeptically and left, transformed by God's Love.

Next Weekend is Kickoff Weekend where we will lay out the growth plan for this fall. We do a growth campaign every fall so we can grow in a specific area, all together as an entire church. This fall the Growth Campaign is called "PERFECT LOVE". We need to experience the power of perfect love in our lives. The Bible tells us that God is Love and so knowing Him is the only way we can experience PERFECT LOVE in our lives. Perfect Love drives out fear and transforms us into the people God created us to be. This weekend we will be examining Ephesians 2:8-10. In these verses we discover how to have a relationship with God and what that relationship is intended to do in us. Verse 10 tells us that we are God's MASTERPIECE, the greek word translated masterpiece is POIEMA which is where we get our English word Poem from. You are a work of God and from the moment you were knit together in your mothers womb, God has been shaping you. I want you to discover who you are and then begin to discover the beauty God intended for you to add to this world. You are a one of a kind POIEMA, specifically formed to add beauty and goodness to this world. You can only fully understand that beauty and goodness by experiencing the power of the perfect love of God.

The Bible tells us that God is Love and so knowing Him is the only way we can experience PERFECT LOVE in our lives. Perfect Love drives out fear and transforms us into the people God created us to be. This weekend we will be examining Ephesians 2:8-10. In these verses we discover how to have a relationship with God and what that relationship is intended to do in us. Verse 10 tells us that we are God's MASTERPIECE, the greek word translated masterpiece is POIEMA which is where we get our English word Poem from. You are a work of God and from the moment you were knit together in your mothers womb, God has been shaping you. I want you to discover who you are and then begin to discover the beauty God intended for you to add to this world. You are a one of a kind POIEMA, specifically formed to add beauty and goodness to this world. You can only fully understand that beauty and goodness by experiencing the power of the perfect love of God. Join us this weekend as we get ready to grow through our Fall Growth Campaign called PERFECT LOVE.

Is it possible to really be secure? Life is complex. You constantly face uncomfortable situations that rob you of peace and security: relationships that drain the life out of you, a job you find no purpose in, responsibilities you carry every day and see no hope of change. Isaiah 30:1-15 describes people who faced similar challenges. In the midst of confusion, they were reminded true peace and security can be found in returning to the relationship they were created for.

This has been a labor of love for the team putting it all together. I am thrilled to have an event like this in our community. There are many believers in positions of influence in our valley and with these positions come the ability to make an impact for Jesus. This festival is a great opportunity to introduce many to "Jesus Music". Music speaks to everyone and God uses it to touch people's lives with His presence, power, and truth. We are thankful that God has raised up a movement of artists who point people to Jesus in our nation. Through the Horizon Music Festival, some of the top artists in our nation are coming to us. Let's join together at 8am at MBC for one service and then go join others in our community as we worship together. I believe that Jesus wants us to worship together and show this valley that there is one Lord and Savior over all and that is Jesus. At our 8am service we will be looking at Act chapter 1 where Jesus leaves his followers and sets them on track to continue the movement that he started. Jesus came on mission to change the world by bringing forgiveness of sins and peace with God. We must continue to spread this message by "Being the Church". There is one kingdom, one mission, and one future that matter to God. Let's join together at 8am for one service all together at Mitchell Berean with a message called, Living On Mission in our Community.

Jesus addressed the condition of our hearts and exposed the brokenness we walk in as humans. We need the healing power of God applied to our lives on a daily basis. If we don't admit we are broken and sick spiritually we will not go to God to get the healing we need. If we are to have healthy hearts we will need Jesus, who is The Great Physician, to bring healing into our lives. We are constantly battling with the effects of sin on our lives. It is said the first step to getting better is to admit you have a problem. For most of us that is the hardest part. We like to pretend in our pride that we are ok and yet we know we are not. Sometimes God has to press pretty hard on us to get us to admit we need His help. Healthy Hearts admit they constantly need God's help in their lives.

From time to time it’s a good idea to have a heart check up. Our hearts require maintenance just like our bodies do. I’m wondering as your pastor, how is your heart? The Bible speaks a great deal about the condition of our hearts. Proverbs 4:23 says this, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Healthy hearts are able to engage the difficult but very healing, process of restoring relationships. This weekend we will engage the letter of Paul to Philemon who was a leader in the church in Colossae. Philemon had lost a slave named Onesimus, he likely ran away. He was not a good employee and had failed Philemon. Paul had ran into Onesimus likely in Rome. He had led him to Jesus and helped disciple him into a productive person. Paul writes to ask Philemon to take Onesimus back and forgive him. Join us as we explore a story of restoration and forgiveness.

In this series we are studying our way through the book of 1 Corinthians. This weekend we will look at one of the more famous chapters in the Bible which is 1 Corinthians 13. It is famously called the love chapter because it presents the most excellent way to live as followers of Christ. To become a follower of Jesus is to be commissioned to participate in God's work. As we learned last week you are gifted to participate in the work of God. The way in which you use your gifts will determine their effectiveness. Chapter 13 deals with the motivation and the spirit with which we do the work of God. Our motivation must be Love if we are to really do God's work and have it count or matter in God's eyes. Love is the key to doing God's work and so we must be seeking and growing in how we love God and others. We can be gifted and powerful as we join God in his work but what matters more is that we love others like God loves us. Living in love matters most to God. Since it is true that we can only give away what we have received, how can we ensure that we are experiencing the love of God in our own lives so that we can give that love away to others? Join us this weekend as we learn how God loves us and how we can love others. Love allows us to accomplish the mission God has called us to so let's learn to Love others like God loves us.

This series is a study through the book of 1 Corinthians. The truth is that the culture in the first century city of Corinth closely mirrors our current culture today. These new believers in Corinth were struggling to grow and mature spiritually, to become a church that represented Jesus' culture and not the world around them. Every church has this struggle. It is not easy to overcome the influence of the world around us. And so this week we see that Jesus has empowered His followers to participate in creating this culture. The truth is we find more fulfillment through engagement and participation. Jesus has created us this way, that is why the church is designed to encourage participation and involvement. When we trust in Jesus and begin following Him we are given special abilities from the Holy Spirit that are to be used to build the church. The truth is that nothing is so fulfilling and rewarding as when we are a part of building something important.

We are working our way through the book of 1 Corinthians. This letter written to the church in Corinth around 55 AD is filled with practical insight for us. Our lives are not unlike those of these first century followers of Jesus. They lived with similar temptations and distractions as we do. They were struggling to be influenced more by Jesus than by their culture. This is a battle we face as well. The good news is we can win the battle and lead ourselves and our families to love Jesus and live for him. This weekend we will focus on chapter 9 in which we find the Apostle Paul motivated by a mission and a calling from God. The Corinthians live in a prosperous culture, they have a lot of stuff and yet they are not generous. In fact they have a touchiness about finances and so Paul is encouraging them regarding his motives. He has come to them free of charge, to preach the free gospel of Jesus. He has done this to ensure they don't get hung up on any issues with money. He encourages them in this chapter that his motives are pure. The words he has for them are words from God filled with love and yet they are tough. The tone of this letter has emotion in it because the Apostle is needing to confront them on some difficult issues and they could get upset at what he is telling them. I know you and I struggle with this as well. It is important for us to know the true gospel and we must be careful not to cross up the motives behind the message that we need to hear. Join us this weekend as we are reminded of the true motivation for the message that sets us free from sin and death into life everlasting. For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49084402 This weekend we continue in our series called CHRISTIANITY OVER CULTURE. We are working our way through the book of 1 Corinthians. This letter written to the church in Corinth around 55 AD is filled with practical insight for us. Our lives are not unlike those of these first century followers of Jesus. They lived with similar temptations and distractions as we do. They were struggling to be influenced more by Jesus than by their culture. This is a battle we face as well. The good news is we can win the battle and lead ourselves and our families to love Jesus and live for him. This weekend we will focus on chapter 9 in which we find the Apostle Paul motivated by a mission and a calling from God. The Corinthians live in a prosperous culture, they have a lot of stuff and yet they are not generous. In fact they have a touchiness about finances and so Paul is encouraging them regarding his motives. He has come to them free of charge, to preach the free gospel of Jesus. He has done this to ensure they don't get hung up on any issues with money. He encourages them in this chapter that his motives are pure. The words he has for them are words from God filled with love and yet they are tough. The tone of this letter has emotion in it because the Apostle is needing to confront them on some difficult issues and they could get upset at what he is telling them. I know you and I struggle with this as well. It is important for us to know the true gospel and we must be careful not to cross up the motives behind the message that we need to hear.

The focus this week has been on the Armor of God from Ephesians 6. This Sunday our service will be at Trails West camp and the service will be focused on what the kids have learned this week. The sermon will be from Ephesians 6 which teaches us that as followers of Jesus we are in a spiritual battle. The battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces. If we are to win this battle we must armor up with the armor God has given us to win. Don't miss this weekend for a reminder that our families are in a battle for the hearts, minds and souls of our kids. God has given us the weapons to win but we must use them.

In chapter 8 we will learn the supremacy of Love over Knowledge. Knowledge is valuable and matters a great deal in regards to our success as followers of Jesus. Knowledge fuels us as we desire the mind of Christ in order to live out our faith as God desires. As this epistle makes clear however, knowledge has a weakness, it can cause the person who obtains it to feel superior to others once they have acquired it. In other words, knowledge puffs us up. In the Corinthian church some were using their knowledge, regarding their faith in relation to some cultural issues, to discourage or even destroy other believers. It appears that they had restaurants or markets in their city that served meat which had been used in Idol worship. Some Christians had figured out that these idols were not real gods and so eating at these restaurants and eating this meat was not wrong. They felt no conviction at partaking of this food. Other believers had not learned yet that these idols were not real gods that did not exist. The believers who had discovered that there was nothing wrong eating this food were hurting the faith of the believers who felt strongly that it was wrong to eat it. They did this by flaunting their freedom and knowledge even pushing it on them. Paul reminds them in this context, that love builds up the church and this is what matters in the end. Our freedom fueled by knowledge can lead us to destroy the faith of others and this is the wrong use of knowledge. We must learn that our freedom fueled by knowledge must be governed by Love. We look to do things that build others faith no tear it down. This is of the greatest importance as we live together in the church. Join us this weekend as we gain wisdom regarding the character needed in order to use our knowledge and freedom correctly.

When we place our trust in Jesus we are called into a different culture. We find that by following Jesus we are exposed to God's original design for our lives. He created this universe and so he alone knows how to live this life to the fullest. Due to our sin nature we are engaged a battle once we trust in Jesus. He calls us to leave our slavery to our sin natures and to run in freedom to do the good God designed us to do. In order to run free from sin we must first learn God's directives and wisdom. Then through the power of the Holy Spirit we put the truth of God into practice in our lives. God empowers us as we choose to honor Him in our bodies. This gives us a growing confidence and power to live for God. One area that living by God's truth and wisdom really affects us is with in marriage. Our culture has left any attachment to God's design for marriage and sexuality and so we must rediscover what God's plan is for us in this area if we are to succeed. Join us this weekend as we continue to explore 1 Corinthians by engaging chapter 7 of this key epistle. We will gain insight into the positive expression of our sexuality. You may learn some perspectives that surprise you regarding marriage. You won't want to miss this weekends message on how to succeed in marriage.

We are working our way through the book of 1 Corinthians. This week we will see that though God cares about our souls, our hearts, and our minds, the truth is he cares about our bodies too. What we do with our physical bodies matters to God and so this week we focus on that truth. We have physical appetites and the truth is we can sin against our own bodies by the way we feed those appetites. God calls us to a higher standard when we put our trust in him and there is a reason. The reason is that as Christians we belong to Jesus and we are a part of God's family. This means that God wants us to live life the way he intended. If we continue to follow our culture we will be encouraged to feed our sin nature. This is destructive and will lead us away from God. Truly what we do in our bodies is connected to our mind and soul and so it matters what we do in them. Life in Jesus' culture is different; it's pure and right, it's healthy and good.

Mothers are so important and fill such a crucial role in our lives. God created mothers to nurture us and train us to follow God. This weekend join us for a special service focused on Honoring our Mothers. In the Ten Commandments God instructs us to honor our father and mother. The truth is that honoring our parents is crucial to our success in this life. It matters so much that we figure out how and why we must obey this command. Our mothers aren't perfect and some of us have hurts related to our moms. The command God gives is not dependent on our mothers being perfect but it is important because it affects our health and success. God promises that if we do honor our parents we will have a longer and healthier life. Our attitude towards our mothers comes from the God given position they hold and what that represents before God. As we obey God and show honor to our Mothers, we find health comes into our lives. Join us this weekend for a reminder on how important it is to Honor our Mothers.

In this series we are learning what the Bible says regarding the culture we are to be influenced by. Not the culture around us but by the culture Jesus is creating. Jesus calls us to live differently than the world around us. We are called to be different and this difference is for the better. This week we learn how we are to handle disagreements between believers. We are to handle disputes differently than the world does. We follow a different set of rules because we follow a different leader. The Bible actually tells us how we are to treat each other and this will affect our disagreements because it affects how we treat each other. God calls us to live differently than the world around us. We are honest with everyone so if we get into a dispute we are able to come to a solution quickly. We don't act out of arrogance and pride but out of humility and empathy. This make us more able to solve disputes than the world around us.

As followers of Jesus we are called to live for Jesus and not the culture of the world we live in. Our culture will say things are ok that Jesus says are not. We must live up to the standard Jesus calls us to not the standard of the world we live in. In 1 Corinthians 5 we encounter an issue of sexual immorality that was being allowed in the church. The church was allowing and even proud of a man who was living in sin with his step mother. Now the issue of sexual immorality is nothing new and yet the church was proud of what was going on. Paul sends a sharp correction regarding their allowance of this behavior. In our world today sexual issues have nearly taken over our culture. From prolific porn use to same sex relationships to people choosing their identity based on their chosen gender. There is an attempt to put sexual identity and practice at the top of our value system. We must deal with this issue in the same way the early church did. Drawing lines of morality and behavior in the church based on what God's standards are, is crucial if we are to continue to help people move from death to life.

In this series we are studying the first letter to the church in Corinth. This letter addresses many of the issues we face in our US American culture. Like the Corinthians we are affluent and driven and so have some of the same struggles they had. This week we will learn about the view we should have towards spiritual leaders. God uses leaders to help us grow in Him. They are limited and the view we should have of them is presented in this week's message. We have a tendency to get attached to spiritual leaders in a way that causes divisions. Of course this error is one that we are prone to in our culture as well. When a pastor leaves a church many of the people leave after he does. When talking at Bible studies a person brings up their preference for the former pastor over the present one. We tend to build loyalties around spiritual leaders. This is a mistake due to immaturity. This week we will learn how to grow past this immature tendency to attach, in the wrong way, to our spiritual leaders. We need to allow spiritual leaders to help us attach to Jesus. He is the one we must be following. Just like when we are young we look to our parents for everything we can grow very dependent on our spiritual leaders. We must make sure we are growing in our dependence on Jesus. They will not always be there and so we can fall away if God moves them somewhere else. Leaders can sometimes encourage this out of a need to be needed. We must grow and mature remembering that we are all following Jesus. Join us this week to gain the proper perspective of the spiritual leaders that God puts in our lives.

On Sunday morning Mary Magdalene is the first to encounter the empty tomb. Her response is anxious and worried believing Jesus' body had been stolen. She runs to tell Peter and John who race to the empty tomb and upon seeing the evidence, believe that Jesus rose, because they remember He told them he would. Sunday evening the disciples were hiding out behind locked doors, fearful of the religious leaders. They believed Jesus rose but they were afraid of the cost. Their response to the resurrection was fear of the public backlash against them. How would people treat them because they were associated with Jesus? Lastly we have Thomas who was not with the others when Jesus appeared to them in the upper room and so he doubted. Unless I see him I won't believe it, said Thomas. In this message we will see how Jesus meets the needs of all four responses. Jesus meets us where we are at and He bridges the gap to help us trust in Him. Whether you're anxious or analytical, scared to publicly associate with Jesus or skeptical, Jesus meets you where you are and helps bring you to Trust Him. Join us this Sunday to encounter Jesus right where you are. Jesus comes to us and He brings Peace and Hope into our lives. He washes away our sins and makes us clean and new in Him.

This series is leading us up to Easter when we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus our savior. This week we examine John 17 which is a prayer Jesus prayed leading up to his crucifixion. His prayer gives us insight into His concern for us as well as His mission for us. As we continue to prepare for Easter let's focus this weekend on Jesus' heart for his disciples, for us and his concern for our witness in this world.

As we learned last weekend our lives are meant to be lived connected to Jesus. He is the vine and we are the branches. We must be connected to Him to produce anything good in this life. The truth is that everyone has only one life to live and how we live it in relation to God will dictate the outcome of our lives. The message this weekend will focus on how our lives are affected by our encounters with God. As we encounter Jesus each encounter demands a response. How are you responding to your encounters with Jesus? Are you stepping forward in obedience or are you choosing your own path. Do you reject the call of Jesus on your life or do you move in obedience? The one life we have is measured in how we respond to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Join us this weekend for a powerful message regarding the importance of responding correctly to Jesus.

This series leads us up to Easter when we will celebrate the Resurrection of our savior Jesus. In order to understand Jesus we are exploring several chapters in the Gospel of John. This weekend we will study chapter 15 of John's gospel. In this chapter John reveals Jesus teaching regarding how the life He offers is to be lived. He emphasizes the connection we must maintain with Him. In order to live the life Jesus offers we must remain connected to Him in a meaningful way. Jesus uses the illustration of a vine. In order to produce fruit in our lives for God, we must stay connected to Jesus. This illustration is simple. In order to produce any good fruit in our lives for God, we must be connected to Him. Without that connection to Him, we will not be able to produce good fruit. The fruit Jesus helps us produce are things like; children who follow God, a healthy marriage, treating others like Jesus would, not holding any grievance against others, belonging to a church and having good relationships with other believers. Many people who say they follow Jesus can't get along with other others and this shows they are not connected to the vine. When we stay connected to Jesus, our lives will produce is good fruit and that will largely show up in our ability to get along with others. Join us this weekend when we dig into John chapter 15 and learn how to live the way Jesus wants us to live, by staying connected to Him.

Jesus Himself was discipling them and walking every day with them. Wouldn’t that be amazing! But what if I told you we have the same opportunity available to us today to have God personally disciple and walk daily with us? You see, Jesus wasn’t going to stay physically with the disciples for very much longer, so he reveals in our passage this weekend how the Holy Spirit will soon arrive to help His disciples walk in faithful obedience. The Holy Spirit is not only instrumental in bringing us to saving faith in Jesus, but you and I need to continue in complete, daily dependence on Him.

We have been focused on ensuring our faith is alive and active. James reminds us that saving faith is an active faith. The Apostle argues that if your faith is going to save you it should be alive and active. That is why we believe that saving faith is alive, not dead. This week we conclude with a focus on prayer. A living faith in a living God is actively interacting with that living God. Our prayer life is active and alive if our faith is alive. We know the power of the God we worship and so we take the issues in our life to Him to get His help. If we are struggling then we go to Him with our struggles. If we are doing well then we praise Him for our joys. We know that all things come from Him and so we are interacting with Him as we navigate our lives.

As we work our way through this powerful book of the Bible we are learning how to make sure we have a living faith. Our faith must be active and alive if we are to have the power we need to navigate the world we live in. It is vital today that followers of Jesus do not fade into the background but instead step forward leading our lost world to God. Join us this weekend as we are reminded that when our faith is alive we are investing temporary earthly resources to produce eternal gains. When we choose to join Jesus in His mission, we learn how to turn physical gold into eternal treasure. James reminds us this week not to place our faith or enjoyment in the comforts of this life. We should instead preserve and even sacrifice to do the good God calls us to. We are called to a higher standard and must remember to remain focused on the eternally or we will fail to invest correctly.

In this series we are working our way through the book of James. Jesus' half brother was a pastor of the church in Jerusalem working with the Jewish Christians in the new movement of Jesus. This week we move into chapter 4 where James addresses the hearts of the people regarding their loyalties and affections. He challenges them to resist the pull of the world to fall in love with it, follow it, and be attached to it. The truth is that we are given this life to live it to the fullest. The truth is only as we put God first, love Him and live for Him can we learn to truly live this life to the fullest. Our hearts are drawn to the world and what it has to offer. This temptation is strong and getting our heats and minds to focus on God and live for Him is always a struggle. This week we are challenged to resist the pull of the world by ensuring our Faith is Alive.

This series is a study in the book of James. We have worked our way to chapter 3 of James which focuses on leadership in the church. This week the topic centers around the essential nature of wisdom over just knowledge. Knowledge gives us power and in the world, will help us advance to leadership positions. In the church leaders must have wisdom. Wisdom is the application and use of knowledge with godly character. Jesus established the church to be a place where the influence of Jesus is seen in the lives of His people. This demands the application of the truth into our lives and this is what James is pressing on us in our passage for this week. The motives that help us advance in the world must not be the motives of people in the church. Selfishness leads to wicked sinful behavior and so this week we learn to be motivated by the character traits Jesus teaches us to live by. Our churches must resist the culture of the world around us and instead implement the culture Jesus creates.

We are working our way through James' epistle. Though James was probably the top leader of the church in Jerusalem, his letter was not written to a specific church. This epistle is likely the first New Testament book written that we have in our Bible's. Written by the half brother of Jesus it has a strong tone and is filled with "mini lessons" intended to guide believers in Jesus, into lives that reflect a "living faith". The sermon this week involves having a correct view of others. The behavior that is challenged this week is the human tendency to place higher values on people based on human criteria. James, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says that the true Jesus follower will place equal value on every person due to the fact that they are children of God. We need to check our motives by how we treat people. As people cross our paths we should see them and value them equally. This reflects the heart of God and shows that we are true followers of Jesus with Faith That's Not Dead. See you this weekend for chapter 2:1-13 of JAMES.

Perhaps the oldest New Testament book we have, the focus is on how to make sure you have a living active faith. James will argue, faith that is not being put into practice is dead and useless. Written with a strong tone, James gives a treasure trove of valuable instruction on ensuring that we are living out what we claim to believe. This is perhaps one of the greatest needs in our world today, which is, Christians who are living out the faith we claim. The world is looking for something real. It is only as we put into practice what God's word says, that we have an authentic, real, transferable faith. Join us this weekend as we continue to work our way through the Book of James. This week our focus is on "Not Just Listening". The real key to the Christian life is putting what we learn into practice.

Our grand finale for this series is Christmas Eve when we celebrate the coming of Jesus. He came in humility and with little recognition. The world was unaware that God himself was coming to live among us on that quiet night in Bethlehem. Born of a virgin by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus, the gift, came to change our world forever. This Gift would usher in a new era, a new covenant between God and man. This gift, who was God himself, would come bringing a new birth, he would come full of gracious truth, and ultimately he would come to take our sin away. And so on this Christmas Eve we learn the significance of this gift and what we must do to receive the gift. Jesus, makes the offer of a relationship, a connection with our Father in heaven. We can walk with the God who created us. We can lose that feeling of being alone or isolated, the eerie sense that there is more to this life. Something is missing but what is it? Jesus said that what was missing in our lives was the forgiveness needed to be the children of God we were created to be. We have a Father in Heaven and we were made in his image. Join us for one of our Christmas Eve services as we discover the gift that was given to the world 2000 years ago. On a quiet night so many years ago our world was changed forever when the God who made us, came to dwell among us.

Our Christmas series is called The Gift and in it we are studying the gospel of John chapter 1. We have learned that the gift given to us, is God in the flesh. That gift came to offer us new birth so that our relationship with God could be restored. The gift also came full of gracious truth. This week we continue in verses 29-34. We see in this passage that the gift who is God, came to take away our sin. The gift of forgiveness and restoration is of the greatest value because it has made it possible for us to be made right and set free from our guilt and shame.

We are studying through the first chapter of John's gospel in a series called "THE GIFT". Now we all know It is better to give than receive, that is unless you are receiving a gift that God gives. John the Apostle teaches us that God loved us so much that He gave himself to us. He did this so that we could be transformed into the people God created us to be. Our journey through this powerful chapter, brings us to verses 14-18. The big idea from this passage is that God gives gracious truth. When God comes to earth in Jesus he comes in a gracious, faithful, loving, and truthful manner. His intent is to connect with us and draw us to himself and restore the relationship by bringing us into His family. This week we will discover that God in Jesus, is a relational God who offers us the greatest of all gifts, the gift of himself. Join us as we continue to focus on the greatest of all gifts ever given, the gift of Jesus, given by God to save us all.

We look at the third step of our new mission statement. The final part of the third step looks at our mission field. As a Church we want to send missionaries into the mission field. In Acts we see that the mission field covers the whole world. We will examine the four arenas of the mission field as outlined in Acts 1:8. The different arenas can translate well for us as a church in USAmerica in the year 2022. Our call as a church is to reach all of these arenas and contribute to the gospel expanding, reaching people in our time. The truth is that most of us will work in our local mission field and so we want to gain the perspective that will allow us to live out that calling. We have an opportunity to live for Jesus and represent him as we live our lives. We will not all go to the ends of the earth but we can all live on mission and work together to reach our mission field. Join us for this last message in our fall Campaign.

In this weekend's message we will learn about the next step in our new mission statement. The third step in our new mission statement is sharing the gospel. As a group of Disciples who are becoming Disciplemakers we recognize that we have a message to share. We have a hope to carry on to the world around us. That hope is contained in the person of Jesus Christ. In the book of Romans in the 10th chapter, we discover the role we play as Disciplemakers in sharing the message of Jesus with the world around us. This message is a message of forgiveness and restoration. A message of the hope of eternal life in the presence of the God who made us. You and I have the opportunity, privilege, and responsibility to carry this message to others. Join us as we are reminded of the role we play in transmitting the message of the gospel.

We continue to work through our new mission statement which is; We are a Church on mission to raise up Disciplemakers who share the gospel where we live, work, and play. This week we focus on the second step which involves Discipleship. The question we will answer this weekend is, what is a Disciplemaker. We recognize that Jesus was on a mission to raise up Disciples who would make more Disciples. We call these people Disciplemakers. They are Disciples who are following Jesus and are able to teach others to follow Jesus too. This should be the goal of your life as a Christian. You should be working to become a follower of Jesus who can teach someone else to follow Him as well. If you make it your aim to reach this level of maturity then God will help you get there. You must be willing but if you are willing, God will bring people into your life that you can disciple. I hope you will join us this weekend as we dig deeper into what Jesus modeled in his time here on earth which was making Disciplemakers.

There can be so many definitions given for discipleship, however when we look at the Word’s of Christ it becomes fairly simple. Just because it is simple does not mean that it is easy! Are you following Christ, are you a disciple according to His definition? Jesus lays out what it will cost to be His disciple, ultimately your whole life. This is not a one time surrender, but a surrendered life to His purposes. We can not be a disciple of Christ without denying ourselves and picking up our cross. It is not easy to be a Christian, it cost Jesus His life to pay for your salvation and He is asking you to give up your life of sin and control and embrace His life of peace and righteousness. I encourage you to identify something in your life that may or not be “sinful” but occupies much of your time. Once you have identified an activity or habit, I encourage you to give up that activity for a week and replace that activity with prayer, Bible study, or investing in your family. This is a spiritual discipline called fasting, that helps us deny ourselves and embrace the Gospel. Fasting is not only concerned with food, but anything that can be a sacrifice towards God concerning our time and effort. After a week, sit down and journal about what you learned during this time of fasting. Hope to see you this weekend!

We continue to unpack our new mission statement which is; We are a church on mission to raise up disciple-makers who share the gospel where we live, work, and play. This week we look at another passage that unpacks a little more of the mission we are on. In 2 Corinthians 5 the apostle Paul talks about the posture he takes in engaging others with the message of the gospel. He pursues the mission with passion. His enthusiasm to reach others is felt in this passage. He goes after the people he is called to with a deep desire to reach them. He knows they have a deep spiritual need and that they were designed to know God and be reconciled to Him. He knows that the people he encounters need to experience new life in Christ. All this good news motivates him and propels him forward into the lives of the people around the world. This same motivation and passion is available to us. When we connect to the new life Jesus calls us to, we can gain the motivation to reach others and see them experience new life in Christ. The urgency Paul had, we can have. The desire to see others saved comes as we experience new life and begin to see others the way Jesus does.

Join us this weekend as we continue to unpack our new mission statement by focusing on the MISSION God has called us to. For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/48954433 This weekend we continue in our series called, MISSION CRITICAL. We continue to unpack our new mission statement which is; We are a church on mission to raise up disciple-makers who share the gospel where we live, work, and play.

We have unveiled our new mission statement that reflects where God is leading MBC in this season of ministry. The new statement has three steps and this week we will look at the first step which is that we are a Church on Mission. The obvious first question is, if we are on a mission, what is the mission? In order to discover the mission we look to a very famous passage of scripture found in the new testament. Matthew chapter 28 recounts the truth that following Jesus' death and burial he did not remain dead. The power of God was revealed in Jesus in perhaps the most impactful way it could have been demonstrated. The power to overcome death is something beyond our capacity to even hope for. Each time we deal with the separation, death makes us wonder why we must go through this pain. It doesn't seem right. Of course the reason is that we were not created to go through this pain of separation. Death came through the curse of sin brought by the fall of Adam and Eve. This weekend we focus on the power that has returned to Jesus following the completion of His mission to pay for sin. With the power comes a commissioning to a mission that involves raising the dead. Join us as we learn about the mission Jesus calls His followers to be a part of. The mission to bring dead souls back to life.

This weekend we will present our new mission statement. Mitchell Berean is a church that started on mission and has continued to partner with God to reach the world with the gospel. Our new mission statement is in line with the past and reflects what God is doing in our church in this season. This week we will see that God has a missional heart. From the beginning, when Adam and Eve fell, God began His mission to rescue the human race. The culmination of this mission, to rescue us, was revealed in the person of Jesus. As we choose to follow Jesus and grow in Him, God's mission becomes our mission. God's desire is that you would grow to be a participant in His mission to save the world. God's will for us is that we continue to grow throughout our lives. Mission statements matter as they help us find our place in the mission of God through our local church. We are set up as a church to help you participate in God's work.

As a church we are getting ready for our fall growth campaign. We realized last weekend that growth is at the core of the gospel. Jesus came to save us and to grow us into disciples who are prepared for every good work. If we are to grow we need to commit. High Commitment = High Growth. Our growth is dictated by our willingness to commit. We all have a real life we are trying to live out, the busy day to day pursuit of living. We need to carve out some time to commit to growing spiritually. This Fall campaign that will last 8 weeks is one of those opportunities. I want you to grow to know God's will and live out God's mission for your life. This fall we will be focusing on our new mission statement. It is a continuation of the mission our church has been on since it was founded. The new statement reflects the new focus our church has been led to have. This weekend we will be reminded that God gives His people a mission so that they can work with purpose. Join us this weekend as we continue to get ready to grow.

This week we will learn the reason for a growth campaign and that is; that we will grow together and move together in the same direction. In order to engage all that God wants for us through the church we should grow to understand the real purpose for what we do at church together. You should have one primary goal as you are a part of the church. That goal should be to grow. Life change is at the core of the gospel. We see that all throughout scripture. Jesus came on a mission to rescue us and to transform our lives. This transformation has a purpose and that is so we can join God in His mission to rescue others.

They range from relationship challenges at home and work—financial struggles, health issues, jobs, parenting, and school to name just a few. With the problems of life often comes worry, anxiety, depression, and other health-related issues. To make matters even harder, we let sin take hold of our lives, creating darkness within us that only exacerbates our problems. The darkness of sin keeps us from being in fellowship with Christ; thus, we are not in the light. We will examine 1 John 1: 5-10 and learn what it is to be in the light, the consequences of not being in the light, and how to stay in the light.

Sin does damage to us and to those around us. God is calling us to step into a path of healing and restoration. One of the greatest areas of struggle in our lives has to do with the hurts, offense, and damage done to us by others. From the time we are young we begin to be hurt or offended by what others do and say to us. I bet if I were to ask you to recall a hurt or offense from your childhood you could. Maybe you could remember quite a few. It is hard to let those things go and yet in order to be healthy we must begin to work towards forgiveness. Forgiveness is a gift that frees us from hurt. It allows us to heal deep in our hearts and minds. God actually requires us to forgive repeatedly. I know spiritual leaders who do not understand forgiveness. They end up being wounded healers. You and I need to avoid the trap of unforgiveness and begin to work out forgiving everyone who has done us wrong. Join us this weekend to receive the gift that forgiveness is. God wants you to receive and use it to get real healing in your life.

This week we realize that in order to heal we need to focus on the truth that is gods truth. We will learn we need to focus on the truth about ourselves the truth about others and the truth about good and evil.

In this new series we will discover a Biblical foundation to overcome our hurts, habits, and hangups through a study of Romans Chapter 12. Bitterness, addictions, and trauma can become a wedge between us and God when we need Him most. However, as we embrace the Truth found in Romans Chapter 12 we will discover that these areas of hurt can actually become a catalyst to knowing God in a deeper way as well as a springboard to advance the Gospel. Throughout this series please listen to the Holy Spirit's prompting. You may have a hurt or hangup that is negatively affecting your relationship with Jesus and with those you love. Over the last couple of years our world and lives have been shaken. This shaking, for many, has caused a breakdown in relationships. This series will help uncover the possible areas where we may need to heal. The last few years have affected us all in negative ways. Take advantage of this opportunity to lift the hood on your life and do a check up. Throughout the series we will have information on Celebrate Recovery which is a ministry in our church that helps us overcome some of what can slow or stop our spiritual growth.

This is the Grand Finale for our series and it centers around what happens to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego after they refuse to bow down and worship the gold statue erected by Nebuchadnezzer on the plain of Dura. The hero's of our story face the consequences for remaining faithful to God. Due to their love for God and devotion to Him, they would not and could not bow down to the statue of gold. Because they would not bow, the King throws them in a furnace of fire. What happens next you won't want to miss. The truth is that we are all asked to trust God with our lives, with our souls. The God of the Universe tells us that without His help we are destined to burn in judgement for all eternity. He tells us that if we will trust Him and what He has done for us that we can be saved from the fires of Hell. Join us this weekend and bring a friend with you. We will take communion together, support one of our people as they get baptized and we will be challenged to place our faith in the only God who can save us.

We know as followers of Jesus we are called to live in this world but not to be of it. In John 15:19 Jesus reminds us that we are not of this world because He has called us out of it. As we follow Jesus we learn that we must live differently than everyone else because we belong to Him. This is because we are set apart for a holy purpose. Our lives need to reflect God in order for us to accomplish this holy purpose. We must become examples in the world of how God wants His people to live. This enables us to introduce people to Jesus when he opens up the opportunity. In our current series we are studying from the book of Daniel. Daniel and three of his friends along with thousands of Jews are ripped out of their home land and taken to what is now southern Iraq. The Babylonian empire had become the dominant force on the earth. Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon conquered Judah and took Israel into exile. We have followed the story of these brave young men as they have fought to honor God with their lives. This week we see these young men get a test of their resolve. The test is a test of worship. Will they allow the king to control who or what they worship? Join us this weekend as we discover how they handle this test of worship.

We are working our way through the first three chapters of the book of Daniel. The context of Daniel is Judah was defeated by the King of Babylon in 605 BC. Thousands of young men are taken captive and some are employed in Nebuchadnezzar's empire. The hero's of our text are four Jewish boys Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So far they have determined to represent God in their own lives in a way that caused them to push back against what was asked of them by the King. They then were caught up in a life or death situation regarding a dream that the King had. This week we continue our study with Daniel who, through the power of God, is going to tell the King what his dream was and the interpretation of it.

For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/48914812 This weekend we continue in our series called, IN not OF. We are working our way through the first three chapters of the book of Daniel. The context of Daniel is Judah was defeated by the King of Babylon in 605 BC. Thousands of young men are taken captive and some are employed in Nebuchadnezzar's empire. The hero's of our text are four Jewish boys Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So far they have determined to represent God in their own lives in a way that caused them to push back against what was asked of them by the King. They then were caught up in a life or death situation regarding a dream that the King had. This week we continue our study with Daniel who, through the power of God, is going to tell the King what his dream was and the interpretation of it. This will save the lives of many of the wise men in the kingdom and more importantly, introduce Nebuchadnezzar to God.

Christians are the "called out ones" who belong to God. We are to live our lives differently than everyone else around us. When we choose to follow Jesus, we are left in the world but we are told not to love the world or the things of it. We are to make sure that our love is first and foremost for God and our allegiance is to Him alone. Now God has given us this life to enjoy and this world is our playground. As long as we put God first and love Him alone, we can enjoy the world and everything in it. So we are in the world but not of the world. The book of Daniel tells us of a time in the nation of Israel's history when God allowed them to live in exile. Following defeat to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in 605 BC, around 10,000 young men of royal linage were take by the King to serve in his vast empire. Daniel who was called Belteshazzar along with his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were tested and then employed in the empire as leaders. They first take a stand for God setting themselves apart. Next God begins to use them to reveal Himself to this pagan King. This week we see how God does this in miraculous fashion.

We have been encouraged to use the resources of the Holy Spirit, God's Word and Prayer, and this weekend we will deepen our understanding of how important Relationships with God's people are for us to live the way God desires.

The men who impact our lives in so many ways. The men who raise us, teach us, and provide for us. As we express our thankfulness for our fathers we also focus on our Father in heaven. As Jesus fulfilled His mission here on earth He had access to supernatural power. The truth is we have the same resources available to us that Jesus utilized to accomplish His mission. In our current series called HABITS, we are learning the resources Jesus had available to Him and working to develop habits that help us engage these resources. The third resource we will look at this weekend is the resource of Prayer. Jesus took time often to get away from His work and pray to His Father. He also taught His disciples how to pray. This weekend we want to reexamine prayer to our Father. We want to grow our HABIT of interacting with our heavenly father so that we can have the power we need to live our lives with the purpose God has planned for us.

Jesus spent time learning and memorizing the Old Testament scriptures. He used them to interact with the religious leaders and He quoted them when being tempted by the Devil. Jesus used the scripture to teach and instruct. If we are to become the people Jesus wants with the capacity to accomplish the mission Jesus calls us to then we need to make a habit of interacting with the scriptures. The Bible is the very word of God and contains the power of God because it contains the truth of God.

In keeping with our focus this year which is, BE THE CHURCH, we will examine the habits that will give us the power to fulfill this mission. We are called to do the work of God on this earth. God expects great things of us as we live this life in Him. Trusting in Jesus for salvation is to join His ministry team here on earth. In this series we will look at the resources Jesus had to complete His mission here on earth. Jesus said we would do the same work He did as we follow Him. We must experience a transformation of focus and life in order to live for His purposes. We will work to develop the use of the resources Jesus had and that we have as well. This first weekend we learn that Jesus had the Holy Spirit's power to do His work. We have the Holy Spirit in our lives as well and we must develop the habit of living by His power. Without living by the power of the Spirit we will fail at being able to do God's work.

God has a plan to bring a divided world together and that is through the person of Jesus. Jesus came to forgive and heal a broken world. When we put our faith in Jesus and His work on the cross we are placed by Jesus into His church. The church is really a movement that has been changing the world for over 2000 years. Within this movement are people who need each other and must work together to accomplish a mission. The mission is to share this good news of Jesus with others. In order to accomplish this mission we must follow the instructions given to us in the scriptures.

Spiritual Maturity will give you: Insight and wisdom You will be able to handle the difficulties in life well You will make good decisions You will have knowledge of right and wrong God cares a lot about your spiritual maturity.

We live in a divided world and it seems that we are being pulled further apart all the time. The good news is God has a plan to bring people together in a divided world. His plan is called the Church. Jesus started the church with a group of disciples who were not drawn to each other naturally. The early church became the most diverse group of people in the known world. The reason this could happen was the example of Jesus and the instructions found in the Bible. God's plan for harmony and peace in a divided world is real and it works. So how do we ensure that our church lives out this same dynamic? How do we ensure that we are Being The Church? We first learn and then follow the teachings in scripture on how to relate to each other. In this series we will examine the "One Another" passages in the Bible. These passages are full of instructions on the nature of our relationship to each other. They tell us how we are to support each other. We will also learn how we are to help each other grow and finally how together we can accomplish the mission Jesus gave us. This week we begin with the nature of our relationship. The Bible tells us that in the church we actually are so connected that we Belong to Each Other. Join us this weekend as we learn how to move from being Divided to being United.

We have been focusing on the very important topic that is at the core of our faith. Much of our internal struggle is due to the fact that, as time goes on, we ask God for forgiveness less and we give forgiveness to others less. God offers us free, limitless forgiveness and in return He requires that we forgive each other. As is always the case, God requires behaviors of us for our own good. Forgiveness is like medicine for our souls. When we live in unforgiveness we become sick and toxic in our hearts and minds. In our lives, we will fail to live a healthy life, if we don't master forgiveness. This week we will see from the famous story of Joseph the key to mastering the discipline of forgiveness in our lives. Join us as we conclude this important series.

Much of our internal struggle is due to the fact that, as time goes on, we ask God for forgiveness less and we give forgiveness to others less. God offers us free, limitless forgiveness and in return He requires that we forgive each other. As is always the case, God requires behaviors of us for our own good. Forgiveness is like medicine for our souls. When we live in unforgiveness we become sick and toxic in our hearts and minds. In our lives, we will fail to live a healthy life, if we don't master forgiveness. This week we will see from the famous story of Joseph the key to mastering the discipline of forgiveness in our lives. Join us as we conclude this important series.

We function out of a mentality that expects everyone around us to be about MY desires and MY good! But we are living in a fallen world, full of sinful people! We are going to get hurt, attacked, offenses will be done against us! So how do we live in a world full of sin and still reflect the heart of Christ? We forgive before the offense ever comes. This week we will see the attitude of Jesus who knew fully what was going to happen to Him, and still chose to forgive those doing it, including us! Let’s learn through God’s word how we can function in our world, free from the chains of bitter offense, and reflecting the heart of our Savior!

The role forgiveness plays in our lives is eternal. In order for a person to access God they must come to the place of admitting their need for the forgiveness of God. What follows is the requirement that we give forgiveness generously to others. This is essential for our spiritual health and as we mature we give forgiveness more quickly and more often. We will begin the series looking at the difficulty we can have at accepting forgiveness. Often this plays out in an unwillingness to forgive ourselves of our sin. We continue in pain of failure, betrayal, or denial. It all starts and ends with our connection and relationship with God. This week we will examine Peter's relationship with Jesus and his struggle to accept the forgiveness of Jesus following his failure.

In this series we are working our way through the book of Titus. The Apostle Paul is writing Titus giving him instructions on how to set up the churches on the island of Crete. Transformational leadership is at the core of this letter. Paul is urging Titus to help the churches become transformational communities. Churches that facilitate life change among their own people and that affect change in their community as well. This weekend we look at the instructions regarding community involvement. The Apostle Paul had an interest in how these new churches would interact with their communities. He wanted their influence to be good and godly. How should they handle this?

We will be studying through the book of Titus in this series. The need for spiritual leadership in our churches, homes, schools, businesses, and community is absolutely essential. Jesus presented and demonstrated a different model of leadership than the world had ever seen. His model of leadership was that the leader took the posture of a servant. Jesus served us and in doing so established a new way to lead. If you are a follower of Jesus you are a leader. You are an influencer and that is what leadership is.

We will look at a time when the nation of Israel reached her height of rebellion against God. They worshiped all of the gods of the peoples around them. Pursuing them and worshiping them. God again allows them to be persecuted by these peoples who probably disrespected them more for leaving their own God to worship theirs. God gets so fed up with their idolatry that He says He will not save them but leave them to the gods they so desperately want to follow. In the end God raises up another Judge by the name of Jephthah who becomes the one to lead the nation of Israel to victory over the Ammonites who have been oppressing them. The worship of others gods has its cost and in this case creates a lasting mark on the people of God. Join us this weekend as we are reminded that God creates restrictions only to protect us and to keep us from the destruction our enemy wants to bring into our lives.

Jesus appeared to Gideon and told him that he had been chosen to deliver the people of Israel from the oppressive treatment by the Midianites. Gideon struggled to believe what God said He would do was true. After testing God several times he agreed to trust what God said He would do in delivering the Midianites into Gideon's hands.

In this series we are learning about four of the leaders God raised up during the time after Joshua died and before they had a King. The nation of Israel was stuck in a bad cycle due to the influence of the Canaanites who lived in the land around them. The Canaanites did not fear or worship God in fact they were wicked people who pulled the people of God away from Him. The cycle the Isralites were in was this: Rebellion - Judgement - Repentance - Salvation. This week we will look at a leader who was strong, confident and respected, her name was Deborah. One of only three women who were prophets in the Bible, Deborah was the leader of Israel during the time they were subject to a Canaanite King named Jabin. Deborah led Israel to a miraculous victory that they should never have been able to pull off. Join us this weekend to be reminded that we follow a God who can do anything even when what we are facing looks impossible to overcome.

We will be examining four of the Judges found in the book of the Bible with the same name. Israel has entered the land of Cannan under Joshua's leadership. Joshua has now died and there is no one leader to lead Israel. Israel has not obeyed God in driving out all the inhabitants of the Land and so their Pagan influence from those people is still around them. Israel rebels against God and is drawn away from God toward the Idolatry of the pagan people who live in the land. God judges His people by allowing neighboring Kings to conquer them and oppress them. At times after they cry out for help God raises up a Judge to defeat the oppressor and lead them to follow God again. There is a cycle the nation of Israel lives in for the entire book. The cycle is this; Rebellion, Judgment, Repentance, and Salvation. We can see our own struggle to follow God in this book.

First, He would like us to believe that the way others see us is who we are. He would also like us to buy into the idea that our failures define us. Lastly, he wants you and me to believe that we’ve gone too far to be loved, healed or restored. Have you heard any one of these lies?

So far in this series, we have exposed two of the lies of Satan. First, Your Physical Needs are More Important than Your Spiritual Needs. Second, If God Cared This Wouldn't Be Happening. This week we expose the lie of the Devil which is, Take The Fastest Track To Success. The Devil wants you to put your own success and ambition at the front of your priority list. He wants you to keep your ambitions and dreams at the center of your life. If you do this, you will be more open to taking the fastest track to see those dreams and desires come true. This tendency will leave you open and vulnerable to making compromises along the path to success. Jesus is going to teach us how to live in a way that will allow us to move towards the dreams God has given us, without losing who we are before God in the process. Don't miss this week as we continue exposing the lies the Devil tells us.

This series is about the big lies the father of lies tries to whisper in our ears. The series tackles the lies the Devil tells us and applies the truth of God's word to correct the lie. We must be on our guard as we go through this life. The Devil has been working to trick the human race from the beginning and he has been successful. If we are not on our guard we will believe his lies and be led away from God's plan for our lives. At the worst the Devil's lies deceive people away from the salvation God offers but for those who have already trusted in Jesus he cannot get their souls. He can however work to render those who are saved ineffective and impotent at accomplishing the mission God has for their lives.

We will be looking at the key lies the Devil has been telling over the Millennia of human existence. He lied to Adam and Eve, He even tried to trick Jesus with some powerful lies. We may say we don't believe his lies but often we live like we do. In this series we will be confronting these lies and exposing them to the truth of what God says. God's word is truth and it is in the truth that we find life. Join us as we look at the first lie Satan tried to trick Jesus with, the lie was that your physical life is more important than your spiritual life. Jesus' response to the lie of Satan tells us the truth about what matters most and where our priority should be. If we get this right our lives will become spiritually powerful and we will begin to see the world around us change.

God's plan was under attack and the powers that are at work in our world sought to bring it to an end before it had a chance to begin. Kings from the East, following a star put in the heavens by God, came to worship the King of the Jews. King Herod, having heard this messiah had been born, sought to destroy him. We are tempted to fear earthly powers in our time as well. We need to be reminded that God will win and no earthy power can stop His plan from working to completion. We must not fear the powers on this earth even when they come against the work of God. God protected His plan by protecting his people. God will protect his people today as well. Let's be encouraged to continue to trust God as we end 2021 and prepare to begin a new year.

As we continue in our series called "Fear Not" which has been our Christmas series. Our focus has been on how God revealed His plan to individuals in the Christmas story through messengers called Angels. The Angels always brought fear into the hearts of those they appeared to. Yet God's plan was not a fearful one but a plan to bring peace between God and man. The way in which God brought peace was to come to earth and take on a human body. God would humble Himself to become one of us. Jesus born to a virgin, humble and gentle. Born to a common family with no announcement to earthy powers. Jesus came in humility and God's example should encourage us to overcome our fear of being humble. Our Christmas Eve service will focus on the humility of God himself and our need as people to demonstrate this same virtue.
