Mission Viejo Christian Church

Following Jesus requires trust. When we accepted the Lord, we trusted Him for the gift of salvation, and now as we follow Him, He wants us to trust Him with the wealth He gave to us. Jesus talked more about money than any other subject because He knew the love of it would be harmful to our walk with Him, but obeying Him would bring freedom.

Jesus had “mission and vision”! He picked 12 men to fulfill the mission of following Him for three years, learning from His words and actions, and then He sacrificed His life on the cross so that we might be saved. Today, we have the privilege of fulfilling His mission and vision – to save the world. How will we finish the call He gave us? If you are interested in attending a service or finding ou...

New Year’s is a natural time to look ahead. To ask, “What is God up to?” and “What might He want to accomplish this year?” These are big, powerful questions that can sometimes overwhelm us with their significance. We want to align our activity this year with God’s plans, but how do we know for sure what those plans are? How do we know where God is leading us? How do we know what to do? The enormit...

Are you feeling the post-Christmas exhaustion? Google defines post-Christmas exhaustion as “a period of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion that can occur after the holidays”. But for many of us, our tiredness extends beyond the holidays. We’re not just tired, we’re depleted. There’s a rest Jesus invites us to experience through Him. A rest that brings healing. If you are interested in atten...

Ever wonder why the Christmas story unfolded the way it did? No room for Jesus in the Inn, no grand entrance, no palace, etc? Most of us live according to the picture we have created in our mind of what our life should look like. We know that life rarely looks like the picture we have created. Joseph’s experience with God’s sovereignty reminds us that God is at work, even if it seems like He is no...

In this final chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul gives Christ followers instruction on giving to the Lord, his travel plans, and how they should continue to live faithfully to the Lord.

The resurrection of Jesus is the hope of every believer. It’s the undeniable reality we all live in. The resurrection gives us the hope that this life is not all there is. We are heaven-bound. But what does that mean and what is the biblical understanding of heaven? How do we, as believers, live with purpose driven lives in between the present reality and our future hope? If you are interested in...

There is something uniquely powerful that happens when Christians gather for worship. God is at work building up and strengthening His people, the Church! In this passage, Paul is adamant that nothing should detract from the primary purpose of the worship service, and he provides several guidelines for the specific situation in Corinth. We will explore those guidelines and then ask some important...

It is exciting to know that God has gifted every believer with certain spiritual gifts to bring us closer to Him and to help build someone else up in their faith.

Most of the population in our country would agree that the division has been at its highest level in the past decade. There is an answer to ending the division, and that is “One heart change at a time.” The love of God can change anyone! How do we do this? When we choose to love someone by acting in their best interest according to 1 Corinthians 13, it will bring about change. If you are intereste...

Have you ever had thoughts like, “I’m just not gifted enough to serve God?” Fact - everyone who has accepted Jesus Christ has been given gifts by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:11). There are three places in the New Testament where spiritual gifts are mentioned, but the list in 1 Corinthians 12 are specific to empower every person to glorify God and encourage His people. If you are interested in atten...

It has been said that people who do not know the Lord need to see the Gospel as equally as they hear the Gospel. When people visit the church, they should sense a genuine love for one another among the people, good character, and hear truth. People in Corinth had lost their way from living a life of self-sacrifice.  If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit us...

One thing about false idols is that over time, they prove themself false. God does not want us to place anything in our lives before Him. Why? Because He loves us and knows what is best for us. Because of His great love for us, He has freed us from idolatry, therefore God is looking for people who will surrender their total heart to Him and obey. If you are interested in attending a service or fin...

We all face temptation of many kinds. For example, things Jesus doesn’t want us to do but also things He wants us TO DO! If the enemy can get us to a place of feeling “overconfident,” by getting us to think, “I’ll never do that,” we will be more susceptible to fall. Paul, the author in 1 Corinthians, gives us a way to overcome falling to temptation that may cause us to fall away. If you are intere...

Nobody ever dreams of coming in second place. We dream of winning and becoming champions. Paul’s challenge to the Corinthian church remains relevant for us today. Success in our spiritual life, like success in all areas of life, requires training, dedication, and perseverance. Paul compares the strict training that athletes endure to the spiritual training that is necessary for us to become the sp...

Can I or should I? There are certain things we can enjoy in life, but if we do not take into consideration that our actions may cause someone harm to their faith in Christ, then we should refrain from doing that behavior.
