There is something about knowing that we can live with freedom in our hearts. God has given us the answer to experiencing this freedom by positioning ourselves in a relationship with Jesus Christ. The process of change begins to happen through Holy Spirit power as we walk with Him each day.

All of us need to be “freed” from something that drags us down in life. When we get tired and frustrated, it is easy to go back to the old ways of life – before we surrendered to Christ. Romans gives us a clear directive on what to do when we may want to go back to the old life that eventually leads to death.  If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit us at htt...

None of us desire to intentionally make our life worse. We all want to grow and progress. The fastest growing category in publishing today is self-help / personal development. We’re all looking for answers to improve our lives. However, from our passage today, we will be challenged to consider that something is always ruling our desires. When sin becomes our master, it will lead us to death. When...

Sometimes it is easy to think things like, “Well, if I do what God doesn’t want me to do, He will forgive me anyway.” The wonderful truth of God’s word is that He has already won the victory over sins that easily get a stronghold on us. Romans 6 tells us – the old person is dead, dead to sin! If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit us at https://mvcchome.org/...

Most people have asked questions like, “Why is there so much suffering in the world, or why is life sometimes so difficult?" God’s word explains the progression of all of humanity, how we got into the “mess” we are in, and how to get out of it. Romans teaches that through one man, Adam, sin entered the world; but then one God/Man - Jesus, brought redemption for all of humanity. God has now given u...

Everyone is looking for peace, especially when the storm of life hits. Many of us struggle with anxiety and fear about things that may never happen, and unfortunately, these mindsets can be an obstacle to experiencing the “Prince of Peace.” Romans reminds us that peace can only come through faith in Jesus, and allowing Him to take control of life’s circumstances. If you are interested in attending...

Deciding to follow Jesus is a big deal, and it changes everything! And while that decision can happen in a single moment, the implications of that decision are eternal. Acts chapter 2 tells the story of how several thousand people at once all decided they would follow Jesus. It shows us what motivated them as they made that decision. And, very importantly, it shows us what practical, real-world st...

The wonderful thing about God is that He always remains faithful and consistent with what He says in His word. Our salvation is assured that we are saved by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8). The Apostle Paul uses Abraham in the Old Testament as an example to show how people are made right with God through faith in God alone and not by works. If you are interested in attending a service or finding ou...

God is a promise-keeper! There are over 8,000 promises in the Bible. God in His infinite power demonstrates that He can be trusted. God wants His people to live by faith and learn to trust in His promises, therefore life may take what looks like a detour for us, but God has a perfect promise planned for us. Abraham was a man who learned by faith about God’s faithfulness and promises. If you are in...

Ever feel like you’ve been trying to earn God’s approval through striving to do better and better? Our society is famous for believing our own truth or someone else’s truth. Jesus makes it simple, it’s faith in Jesus that makes our life justified before God, and He now wants us to live in victory.

To get the heart of the gospel, we must directly confront the human sin problem that’s in all of us. Without understanding this properly, we can’t fully embrace the transformative power of Christ’s righteousness dwelling within us. The gospel is much more than behavior modification; it’s complete heart transformation. If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit u...

Each of us most likely has someone in our life who might be living under a false sense of security about their own eternity. Romans chapter three brings clarity about the future regarding the destination of our soul. Many today have adopted a mindset that says, “I was raised in a Christian home", or “I am a good person,” so “I’m sure I will make it to heaven one day.” Paul speaks to the Jewish peo...

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important event in all of history. Jesus’ resurrection is what validates His authority that He is Almighty God. Because of His resurrection, it changes everything for those who believe in Christ Jesus, both on earth and in heaven.

The crowds in Jerusalem that day were expectant of one thing, when Jesus rode through the city of Jerusalem on a donkey, He would militarily free them from the governmental rule of the Romans as they cried out “Hosanna.” “Hosanna” literally means, “Save us now!” Jesus’ plan was much bigger as His death to come by crucifixion would save the whole world. If you are interested in attending a service...

There is a big difference between “religion” and having a “relationship” with God. Throughout Jesus’ teachings, while He was interacting with people, it was often the religious people who were adversarial. For those of us who call ourselves Christ followers, the greatest thing we can bring to the world is an authentic relationship with God and others. We must be willing to “check ourselves” with h...

Have you ever been driving in your car and you begin to merge into the next lane, and then all of a sudden you hear a car horn blaring? We all have blind spots when we drive at times and unfortunately, we can have spiritual blind spots in the way we live against sin. If we are not careful in the way we drive, or being aware of our blind spots of sin, we can easily cause an accident. The Apostle Pa...

In this passage God tells the consequences of our sinful actions and rebellion against Him. In summary, God gives us an understanding that His wrath is just and His judgment is a part of His righteousness, but the good news is that God offers grace and mercy, that we might escape His wrath and judgment.  If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit us at https://m...

Jesus gave us the greatest gifts when we received Christ – life abundant and life eternal. Now that we have received such a great salvation, He has commanded us to share the “Great News” with others. We can either see this great privilege as a “task" or as a "treasure.” When we rely on the Holy Spirit to direct and guide us, and by stepping out in faith, our Christian faith becomes exciting. If yo...

Many of us fall into the trap of falling captive to negative thoughts about our circumstances and even how we view ourselves. How we view God and how we view ourselves is critical to understanding our position before the Lord. Learning to re-learn new behaviors in light of God’s word is critical to our growth in the Lord. If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please vis...

According to the “Freedom Center,” most Americans are motivated to learn more about Jesus, but the real question is what Jesus are they seeking - the Jesus of the Bible or the Jesus of what they think He is? There are a lot of different views about who Jesus is, so what does the Bible say about Him? This is what the Bible says about who Jesus is, but the all-important question is – who do you say...

Sharing our faith can be one of the most exciting things we can do with our Christian walk (Matthew 28:18-20). How do we start to share with someone? Eighty percent of people who put their faith in Jesus Christ, do so because they have a personal relationship with another Christian. Helping someone to discover who God is begins with a first step.
