Mission City Church

Special guest Doug Irwin and his family visited Mission City this week to share their story of ministering to people in France. Doug shares about a story in Mark 5 of a man who is possessed by many demons. Doug points out that everywhere we see unclean spirits and demons, death and destruction is around. Thankfully, Jesus has overcome death and destruction and challenged us to share in his victory...

In part one of the Great Commission series we explored the question, is the great commission for everyone? Today we take a deeper dive into how the gospel has spread westward, the completion of the great commission, and the reasons to keep sharing. It all starts with an update to our Christianese. 

Paul begins his second missionary journey in Corinth in Acts 18. He finds two other tentmakers that help support him and work with him while he shares the gospel in the synagogue. Although he is thrown out of the synagogue, Paul finds success with a local leader next door. Time and time again Paul has been beaten, stoned, or thrown out of a city for preaching, but in verses 9-11 God tells Paul not...

After his resurrection Jesus appeared to his disciples and told them to go and make disciples of all nations. Over 2000 years later, this commandment has yet to be accomplished. Did Jesus have us in mind today when he gave his original disciples this command? If this command is still true for us, what's holding us back? What's the problem with this commission not being fulfilled?

Happy Resurrection Sunday! Verses 22-34 of Acts 17 tells the story of Paul sharing the gospel to a group of religious leaders and philosophers in Athens. Paul points out how religious they are, even creating a statue to an unknown God. Paul uses this to draw their attention to the one true God who offered his son to be crucified and resurrected in order to offer salvation and life to those who wou...

Acts 13-14 gives us the beginning of the story of Paul's missionary journey. Lead pastor Russell Schultz challenges us with this simple question, where will you go? Paul was willing to face opposition, persecution, and pain to make Jesus known. If God called, where would you go?

The Thursday before Easter, traditionally known as Maundy Thursday, marks the night that Jesus celebrated the passover with his disciples. On that night Jesus changed the celebration of the passover forever by indicating that he was the new passover lamb and through him men and women could find salvation from sin and death. We believe the celebration of Passover can be a powerful spiritual experie...

The church at Antioch in Acts 11 has so much to teach us about the development of a church. Believers end up in Antioch because of the persecution they faced in Jerusalem and begin to share the message of Jesus with hellenistic jews and gentiles. This church was not only diverse in ethnicity and culture, but was begun by unidentified regular people who saw the message of Jesus as worthy to share....

As the early church continues to expand, resistance to the followers of Jesus also grows. One of the key resistors named Saul is met on his journey to persecute believers in Acts 9 by Jesus in a vision.

Everyone who has put their faith in Jesus has a redemption story. That story has power and is an incredible tool for evangelism and encouragement. Throughout this series we have shared a few of these powerful stories with you. In this episode we will help you to know your own redemption story. 

As the church in Jerusalem grows, the leaders of the early church must determine how to best meet the needs of the community around them. Through delegating care responsibilities to other mature believers, the church continues to flourish and make sure that all shared resources are distributed as needed. Our church today faces these same challenges. There are needs in our community that must be me...

We believe that God is capable of redeeming all things but that He also allows sinful things to happen. How can we view the world with a hope for redemption in difficult times? As agents of redemption, how should we respond when we face overwhelming darkness in the world around us? Lead pastor of Mission City Church Russell Schultz joins us this week to share his thoughts on the war in Europe and...
