Mill City Church Sermons

There are many different ways the Bible talks about what Jesus accomplished through His death on the cross and through His resurrection from the dead. We believe that they are all important if we are going to understand the scope of everything that…

This week, Pastor JD looks at why we pray in Jesus name. The authority we have against evil is because of the authority we have from Jesus. We are not using our own authority, but the authority of Jesus when we speak into the spiritual realm.

Continuing in our series about spiritual battles, this week Pastor Steph focuses on how we can identify spiritual warfare in our lives and in the world around us – and how we can respond.

There are unseen battles in life that are in the spiritual realm. How do we “pick our battles” so we can stand firm in the midst of the spiritual warfare in our lives and in our world?

In the final part of our series “Do Not Be Afraid,” we talk about how powerful fear can be as a motivator and what Jesus hopes we are motivated by from a Kingdom perspective.

Jesus encourages us to “take courage” when there are fears we face in our lives. What does it mean to be empowered by the courage Jesus offers even when there are circumstances that understandably cause fear in our lives?

“Do not be afraid” is the most common command in scripture. In this conversation we discuss what it looks like to confront fear in our lives and step into lives motivated by love, courage, and peace.

This week, we reflect again on God’s tendency to use the seemingly least qualified people to do the most miraculous things. Pastor JD brings us to the story of Mary, and we see how God recognizes her willingness, openness, and a strength in her…

Advent continues as we reflect upon God’s love. Pastor Stephanie shares about the ways God worked through those who others thought could not be used, as God continues to do today.

For the beginning of our Advent season, guest speaker Jo Saxton joins us to preach about the Hope that came to us through the genealogy of Jesus, which now continues to weave through our stories.

Wrapping up our series, we continue to look at the different ways God designed us to connect with and love God. This week, we take some time to hear from a panel of members from our community on the different ways they (Re)Connect with God.

We were all made to love God. But every one of us connects with God differently, and it’s important to know how you best express your love for God.

How do you connect with God when you have uncertainty or doubt? Join us live as we continue our second sermon in the series (Re)Connect with God.

What do you do when there seems to be interference when you try to connect with God? Join us this week as Pastor Steph starts a new series entitled “Reconnect with God.”

In the third of our four-part series of stories entitled “How I Learned About Race,” we hear from Pastor Stephanie as she shares her experience.

Continuing with stories of “How I Learned About Race,” this week we have the privilege of hearing from Pastor Dennis Edwards of Sanctuary Covenant Church (one of our neighbor churches).

Pastor Michael shares his story of how he has learned about race, racism, and its effects. This begins a four week series with four different life stories about how different people have learned about race.

Talking about God at work isn’t alway easy and can even be intimidating. Pastor JD takes some time to explore what it could look like for God to invite us to talk about what God’s up to at work.

What does it mean for us to resist evil “for the sake of the world”? How do we respond when we engage evil in our vocations? We join God by doing good in the world and thus resist the evil that infiltrates the world God loves.

Peter writes that we should live such good lives among the pagans that they glorify God. What does a “good life” look like in the 21st century work environment?

How should Christians live in the (work) world? Jesus says the disciples are set apart and sent into the world. This is how we should understand our relationship to the world we live in – “set apart and sent into.” What does that mean for an…

If we want something to happen, we have to make space for it. If we want to receive God’s love and grow in trusting God, we need to make space in our life for spiritual rhythms. What is the next step for you to grow in spiritual rhythms?

Worship is primarily about what is in our hearts. If we love God, we will make following Jesus the top priority in our lives. Worship is a practice that can help us reprioritize our lives around what God says is most important.
