MH1AG Sermon Podcast

Thank you for joining our Sunday worship service. In this message, Pastor Josh looks at the events of Good Friday and the price that Jesus paid for us.

Thank you for joining us as Pastor Josh continues our Foundations series.

 At first glance, the story might seem simple, but it reveals profound truths about God's purpose for each of our lives. The phrase 'the Lord has need of it' becomes a transformative declaration that speaks directly to our identity and calling. We discover that just as God knew exactly where that donkey was located, He knows precisely where we are in every season of life.

Thanks for joining us as Pastor Josh continues our Foundations series. We are continuing our look at doctrine by looking at The One True God and our belief in the trinity.

This message confronts one of the most pervasive struggles of our modern age: loneliness. Despite living in the most connected era in human history, we're experiencing unprecedented loneliness. But God's design from Genesis reveals a profound truth: it is not good for us to be alone. We were created by a relational God with relational needs for significant connection. The ache of loneliness in our...

This powerful message confronts one of the most debilitating forces in our spiritual lives: shame. Drawing from Peter's denial of Jesus in Luke 22, we're reminded that even the most faithful among us can stumble under pressure. The sermon distinguishes between the Holy Spirit's conviction—which draws us back to God for restoration—and Satan's shame—which pushes us away and keeps us trapped in our...

In this second message of our Fighting Shadows series, we confront one of the most paralyzing shadows we face: fear. Drawing from 2 Timothy 1:5-7, we're reminded that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.  We are challenged to understand that faith isn't the absence of fear, but rather the silencing of fear as we trust in God. We're called to confront our fea...

Thanks for joining our midweek worship service. Pastor Josh is continuing our Foundations series by looking at our next doctrinal belief: The One True God.

In this message in our Fighting Shadows series, Pastor Josh confronts one of the most pervasive struggles we face as believers: insecurity. Through the story of King Saul in 1 Samuel, we discover how a man who had everything—looks, stature, family status, God's anointing, and even prophetic encounters—still lived trapped in the shadow of insecurity. True security is not found in personal abilities...

Thanks for joining our midweek worship service. Pastor Josh continues our Foundations series by looking at our first doctrinal truth: The Scriptures Inspired

The message challenges us to examine where we've settled in our spiritual walk—whether it's halfway obedience, delayed action, or comfortable mediocrity. Using the story of Terah from Genesis 11, who began a journey to Canaan but stopped halfway at Haran, Pastor Josh illustrates how many Christians start their spiritual journey with passion but settle before reaching their destination.  The call i...

This powerful message challenges us to examine the role of spiritual discipline in our walk with God, drawing a compelling parallel between Olympic athletes and followers of Christ. Just as athletes devote countless hours to training, restricting their diets, and sacrificing time with loved ones to compete at the highest level, we are called to approach our spiritual lives with the same intentiona...

Thanks for joining our midweek worship service. Pastor Josh is continuing our series, Foundations, as we look at what we believe. This evening we look at the value of doctrine in our lives.

At the heart of this message lies a powerful exploration of surrender through the lens of Moses' life in Numbers 20. We encounter Moses at a pivotal moment—after forty years of leading over a million complaining Israelites through the wilderness, he faces another crisis: no water. God's instruction is clear yet surprising: speak to the rock. But Moses, frustrated and clinging to what has always wo...

Thanks for joining our midweek worship service. This evening, Pastor Josh kicks off a new series, Foundations. What you build on matters. In this series we are going to take a closer look at what we believe are fundamental truths for our church to live out and practice. In this message we look at the basis of doctrine.

This powerful message takes us deep into Genesis 22, where we encounter Abraham's ultimate test of faith. We're challenged to examine the difference between what we assume obedience looks like and what God actually calls obedience. The story reveals three critical dimensions of true obedience: immediacy, totality, and faith. Abraham didn't hesitate, didn't negotiate, and didn't take shortcuts when...

This sermon centers on the concept of devotion to God as demonstrated through the life of Ezra and the woman who anointed Jesus with costly perfume. Pastor Josh emphasizes that true devotion is more than religious routine—it's a sacred posture of the soul rooted in love, trust, obedience, and spiritual hunger. In a fast-paced, spiritually detached world, many Christians have become casual rather t...

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, we're invited into something far deeper than resolutions and self-improvement plans—we're called to consecration. Drawing from Romans 12:1, we discover that the most rational, intelligent response to God's mercy is to present ourselves as living sacrifices, wholly dedicated to Him. This message introduces a powerful 40-day journey of consecration. he cal...

This Christmas sermon explores how the birth of Christ represents God's intervention in the messy, broken reality of human existence. The pastor emphasizes that the Christmas story wasn't a sanitized, perfect narrative but occurred amid unexpected pregnancy, difficult journeys, and humble circumstances. Just as Jesus came into a messy world 2,000 years ago, He continues to meet people in their pre...

Thank you for joining us for our midweek worship service. Pastor Josh is concluding our journey through the Bible.

This sermon explores the significance of Christ's birth in a messy, humble setting and how it reflects God's purpose in the difficult seasons and locations of our lives. Pastor Josh emphasizes that messy places—whether actual locations filled with dysfunction or challenging seasons of life—are not obstacles to God's work but rather birthing places for new purposes, places of authentic worship, and...

Thank you for joining us for our midweek worship service. We are continuing our journey through the Bible as Pastor Josh looks at the epistles of John and Jude.

This sermon explores the often-overlooked messiness of the Christmas story through the experiences of Mary and Joseph. Rather than the sanitized nativity scene we typically envision, the pastor reveals how Mary and Joseph faced uncertainty, fear, social rejection, and difficult choices when God interrupted their carefully planned lives. The message emphasizes that Christmas—and life itself—can be...

This sermon explores the genealogy of Jesus Christ found in Matthew 1, revealing how God intentionally included flawed, broken, and messy people in the lineage of the Messiah. Rather than choosing perfect individuals from prestigious backgrounds, God's redemptive plan incorporated prostitutes, liars, adulterers, murderers, and outsiders. The message emphasizes that Christmas itself is messy, just...
