Marysville Christian Church Sunday Messages

With so many voices in the world today it can seem to be a difficult task to choose what is right, especially when it comes to elections.  We often find ourselves thinking what is the right choice... more to the point, what is the wise choice.  We look at the life of Joshua again to find out what really matters when making these choices.

The Libera Left or the Radical Right?  The times that we are in can be scary.  So much uncertainty and chaos can make it unclear as to what we are to do.  In this vital message, we take some time in Joshua to see what God tells us to do.

Do we look at scripture through the lens of the world or do we look at the world through the lens of scripture?  In this powerful message, we take a good look at what John the Baptist told us that we should do to prepare for the coming of Jesus.  We take this message to apply to us today in where we are at with our life, our possessions, our relationships.

We are living in very confusing and chaotic times. What do we do when people come against us? When they lie and gossip about us? How do we react and stay sane in the midst of that?  We look at Psalms 139 and like David, we can take comfort in the fact that...  Because He is “All-Knowing” - God knows WHO I am Because He is “All-Places” - God knows WHERE I’ve been, where I am & where I...

This is the final session of this series, "The Things That Really Matter - What Made Jesus Mad."  We have learned that Jesus would get mad when insiders get in the way of outsiders, when people value rules over relationships, and when people value religion over grace.  This message talks about when people value guilt over forgiveness.  But what are we supposed to do to deal with gui...

It can change your life when someone shows you GRACE. But without grace, your life is over.  In this message, we take a good look at what God Values... Grace more than religion.

In our desire for control, we often sacrifice connection with people.  What does Jesus think we God's people value rules over relationships?

If you want to know what matters to somebody, pay attention to what makes them mad.  Religious people have a tendency to make outsiders feel unwelcomed in the presence of God and it aggravates Jesus and cleared every spiritual path that leads to God.

We continue our story with Jacob to show the reconciliation with his brother Esau and how this leads him to his new name, Israel.  God desires us to heal our broken relationships and He is willing to help.  It takes courage, time, and God's help to make it happen.

It can be tough to realize that we can count on God when every day we're reminded that the world is full of people who will take advantage of us. We go further into the story of Jacob and look at the deception that he faced. God help us, that we don't become so cynical and jaded that we lose our ability and willingness to trust anyone.

In this message, we look at the story of Jacob's search for a wife which brings him to Rachel and Leah in Genesis 29. We find that despite how things seem to be so much more in Rachel's favor that God had big things in store for Leah. Ultimately God uses people that were never good enough!

The effects of 2020 have made it seem like our life is out of control.  But it is important in the midst of that to be mindful of the fact the choices that we make will make our life.  We go into Genesis 27 and see the truth in this with the story of Jacob and Esau.

God Longs for us to trust Him enough to follow Him by faith.  Walking in faith, however, can be tough because we want guarantees in life.  God knows we don't have all of the answers and He's honored when we call on Him to guide us but He's most honored when we are totally committed to following His lead.  We dive into Genesis 24 to a great example of this.

In the time we are in there are so many voices and sometimes in that, we have selective hearing. We often place more hope in the next president instead of what God Says. Dr. Alfred Tomatis stated that “The voice can only produce what the ear can hear.” That being said, is God’s voice the loudest one in our lives? Learning how to hear the voice of God is the solution to so many of life’s problems....

No Matter where we are in life there is always, "the next thing."  But knowing that and being prepared for that are two completely different things. In this message, we take a look at Solomon's wisdom in Proverbs 27:12 that will help teach us to pray for what is coming next.

Two things seem to drive us to our knees in prayer... Our circumstances and people. They make us realize how desperate we are for a breakthrough. So our Hope, Joy, and Peace ultimately come from God in prayer.

All that we can control is what's happening within the length of our arms. The only way that we can make a difference is to stop demanding our own rights for the sake of others. That's when our faith is no longer just what we believe but actually what we're willing to live.

How is your prayer life? A lot of times we may think it is good but are we truly dependent on God in our prayers?  How should we pray?  We need to pray for His power to give us inner strength.  We need to pray for Love to keep our hearts from growing hard.  We need to pray for Change.

Today's Message is "Why Daddy?" which explores the questions that kids often will ask their fathers and in particular the questions that we ask our Father God. What is it that we are to learn and receive from God that we should pass down to our children?

In this week's message, Ed explains that we are not merely called to believe in the crucifixion, but we are also to be crucified with Christ.  What does that mean?  What did Jesus mean when he explained to Peter that the gates of hell won't prevail against the church?

Where does God want us to be in our relationships?  He wants us to be like Him... a servant.  We dive into this and the ultimate example of a servant, Jesus!

In this time of Covid-19 and all that comes with it, how do we reset the church?  We do this by...  Resetting our Devotion to Apostles’ Teaching [words of Jesus] Resetting our Devotion to Communion Resetting our Devotion to Each Other  Resetting our Devotion to Prayer

Did you know that church is a big deal to God?  Ed not only lets us know all the ways it is a big deal to God but also all the ways it is a big deal to us!

This message from Galatians 6 lets us know that "God Knows We Need Church" so that we can... - Encouragement to stay on the right path - Find help carrying the heavy stuff of life - Learn personal responsibility and accountability - Learn generosity and the tenacity of trust: Good will be rewarded - God uses His people to bless others

In this special Mother's Day Message, Ed explains to us what it means to leave a legacy of faith and how we can, no matter the legacy before us, leave our own legacy of faith.
