What is God's plan for Israel? Does His covenant still stand? Bruce Scott teaches about God's plan for Israel according to Romans 9-11, specifically 11:23-26. Him and his wife have been involved in reaching Jewish people with the good news of Christ for 40+ years.

How do we overcome this paralyzing fear of man that keeps us from truly living life as God intended, and experiencing His power at work in our lives to make a meaningful difference in this world for Jesus? The answer and cure is in fearing God. (Luke 11:53-54; 12:1-12)

The light in us that guides our lives is sourced by what our eyes see and treasure. What we treasure will shape our deepest longings and set the trajectory of our lives. In this message, we examine some keys to being lit up from within in a way that brings wellness to our souls and transform us to be a healing light to people in darkness.  (Luke 11:33-52)

There is a spiritual war between two kingdoms. Which kingdom will you serve? The kingdom of darkness and death; the Kingdom of the Wilderness? Or the kingdom of light and life; the Kingdom of Eden? (Luke 11:14-32)

“No man is greater than his prayer life... Failing here, we fail everywhere." (Leonard Ravenhill) There is one thing that Mary demonstrated at the feet of Jesus and that Jesus Himself prioritized in His earthly ministry that the disciples felt they were missing in their prayer life. What was that one thing? Real communion with God. (Luke 11:1-13)

The true spirit of Christmas is a Spirit-filled lifestyle that magnifies the self-giving and souls-satisfying love of Jesus.

With Christ, although sorrow still exists in this world, great joy can coexist. (Luke 2:10-11)

If you were ask to describe or define prayer in a sentence, what would you say? To better understand what prayer is at its core, so that we might experience God’s transforming power more fully, we are going to learn from the master of prayer Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 11:1-4)

Our first calling is not to ministry, but to intimacy. Mary’s choice to sit at the feet of Jesus while she listened intently to His teaching was commended by Jesus as the "one thing;" the thing that matters most. (Luke 10:38-42)

Kingdom representatives are recognized by love for God and love for neighbor. Who do we identify with in the parable of the good samaritan? Just as the good samaritan rescued and took care of the beaten and hurt man; Jesus did so for us. (Luke 10:25-37)

Do you ever feel like God is hidden or that God is distant? Although there are things about God that are hidden, the evidence for the existence of God is abundant. God has revealed Himself through His incarnate Son and all who respond in faith to His light come to know His transforming presence in this life and forevermore. (Luke 10:21-24)

We often try to hide our weaknesses rather than realizing they are sanctifying tools that shape us. Guest speaker and friend of MBC, Stu Taylor, shares a message on the sanctifying work of God through marriage and life's circumstances.

Faithful followers of Jesus obey His commands to go heal, preach the Kingdom of God, be ambassadors, and rejoice in their salvation. (Luke 10:1-20)

Have you ever been annoyed with people's actions or frustrated when things didn’t go your way? But after self-reflection, you came to realize that the main problem wasn’t external, but rather internal - it was your bad attitude. Recognizing when we need an attitude adjustment is not only vital to maintaining a healthy life style, healthy relationships, and accomplishing worthy goals, it’s essentia...

As a Christian, are you keenly aware that there are some things in you that still need to die? We must learn to rule over our emotions or our emotions will rule over us. Emotions, like anger, were created by God to move us toward righteous actions. (James 1:19-21)

We're all quite familiar with the Great Commission; but what does making disciples and being a disciple really mean? Pastor Dennis Henderson joins us at MBC for this special message on Matthew 28:18-28.

The transfiguration of Jesus, or metamorphosis, revealed who He is: the fulfillment of the Law and Prophets, the Son of God, the Chosen and Anointed One, the Word who became flesh and "tabernacled" among us. In the same way Jesus' transfiguration was marked by His death on the cross, our transformation is marked by daily picking up our cross; following the Messiah through death into life. (Luke 9:...

If God is so good and so loving, why do we go through bitter seasons of life? Being a christian doesn't mean that life will always be pleasant and easy. God takes His children through cycles of triumph and trial for our good and His glory. (Exodus 15:22-27)

Although God has very specific assignments for each of us, not all Christians hear His summons, let alone fulfill it. Many believers are content to just go through the motions of religious activity without a strong sense of calling to a specific role or purpose that they must fulfill. Close followers of Jesus hear His summons, set out to obey His call, and experience His power to bring hope and he...

When you honor Christ in your heart, it will show on the outside and give people reasons to talk to you about Jesus. The gospel has spread throughout church history not because the church figured out what methods for evangelism worked best, but because their gospel message and their manner of life resisted conformity to the culture. There lives were convincing proof before their adversaries of the...

In the Bible, you will find instructional examples of believers sharing the good news with unbelievers, one on one. Here is some insight from John 4:1-10 on how Jesus, in a one to one, encounter brought an obscure Samaritan woman to Himself. "One by one and two by two we can win our world for Jesus Christ." -Babbie Mason  

How can christians today capture the evangelistic zeal that must be prevalent in the life of the church to be faithful to its Christ given mission to make disciples who spread His fame? The bible has much to say about the principle of sowing and reaping. Before reaping a physical harvest, a farmer must sow seeds. “Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy. He who goes out weeping, beari...

What does running the race of faith mean? Listen as Chaplin Mike Weber unpacks what Paul meant; how the christian life is one of discipline and self-control; while salvation is a gift freely given, not by our efforts. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)

Jesus is sovereign over suffering and is able to deliver us from the storm or through the storm. Even when things seem to go from bad to worse, Jesus is still in control and we can trust Him to fulfill His redemptive plans in and through our lives.  Fruit-bearing disciples cultivate a resilient faith in the knowledge of Christ and are convinced that it’s always too soon to quit. (Luke 8:40-56)

Jesus' authority over the spirits and swine demonstrate that He is the Sovereign Messiah, the One who has power over all forces, both natural and supernatural. (Luke 8:26-39)
