Have you ever thought you knew exactly what was going on, only to be blindsided by the reality that you didn’t have a clue? The religious leaders confronting Jesus thought they knew everything about the way God worked, but Jesus showed them just how wrong they were. He called them out and described how their focus on the wrong things left them spiritually impaired. If you are interested in attendi...

Jesus confronts those who are challenging Him to provide a ‘sign’ and prove Himself. But God prefers faith to proof, and Jesus points to two Old Testament examples who responded to the ‘sign’ in front of them with faith.

Every one of us has choices to make each day, and some of those choices are more important than others. Which are the most important, and how do I hear from God about those choices?

There are some days that prayer seems like a daunting task, and then there are other days that prayer seems so easy. How do you speak to the creator of the universe? Isn’t it interesting that out of all the things the disciples could have asked the Lord, they said, “teach us to pray!” If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit us at https://mvcchome.org/ If you...

Living a life of balance can be tough in our current society. Things are moving so fast that it is often difficult to be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10). Where is that place of stillness with God in His presence to be found?

When we encounter people who might be hurting, our response may be, "It's not my problem, or I don't have the time to get involved, or I don't want to, or someone else should..." In this familiar passage, two people saw "inconvenience," and one saw "invitation." What will we do?

Have you ever wondered why there is so much evil in the world and why it seems to have “ramped up” in the last few years, which leads to the question, how can we make a difference to advance God’s love? The answer is one heart change at a time, and Jesus gives us the “how to.” If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit us at https://mvcchome.org/ If you feel led...

There it sits, right in the center of God’s Top Ten list. The 5th commandment: Honor your father and mother. On Father’s Day, while we pause to appreciate the profound ways that dads impact their kids and shape our destinies, we consider the weight of this 5th commandment. What does it mean? How do we do it? What if my dad doesn’t really deserve it? We’re taking God’s Word seriously, and we’re tak...

For a lot of us, we love comfort in life, but it might be an obstacle to following the Lord. So how can we be at peace with letting go of the world's comfort and taking the "road less traveled" in following Jesus?

God told us He would always be with us, but sometimes we need a fresh revealing of His “active presence.”  Where will He come, how will He come, what will we do?  Will, we be listening, ready to act?

If someone asked you “who is Jesus”? How would you respond?  Much of the world acknowledges Jesus as a great man, but not as the Son of God raised from the dead.  Jesus shows us today there is a difference in asking the question: “who is Jesus” and “who is Jesus to you”.  You can proclaim Jesus as LORD, but have you truly made Him the LORD of your life?  Anyone can be a fan of Jesus, but have you...

Have you ever had thoughts like, “God, this is not the life I expected, or this is not the marriage, the income, the problems with my children, or I thought I would have been further along by now?”  God is our Father who wants to bring blessing, but the invitation into that blessing may be different than our expectation.

Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you feel lost, lack peace, in constant turmoil, or fear? The wonderful thing is that God’s Word has answers. Often, it’s not only about having a plan, but it’s about knowing the “God-man” who has the power!

Have you ever wondered what God’s will is for your life? God has laid out His will for each of us within His word, and he wants to reveal it to us. Are we willing to listen?

Have you ever wondered why certain people you know and care about seem to have difficulty with receiving the good news of God in their lives? Sometimes looking through the correct window can bring clarity to the truth. This passage gives insight into why some people choose to receive while others reject God’s offer of “life.” If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please...

Have you ever struggled knowing how to show your appreciation to God for all the forgiveness He has given you? Or, on the flip side, are you able to express your appreciation to God when things are not going your way? God gives us a wonderful illustration of how to apply this principle of appreciation for Him. If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit us at htt...

We all have expectations about certain things in life. What happens when our expectations do not meet up with God’s exceeding expectations? Living in expectation can become exciting when we align ourselves with God’s purpose.

Have you ever given your plans to God and then asked Him to do what you thought He should do? It’s easy for doubt to creep in when we have unmet expectations. God, however, has given us great examples of ordinary people in the Bible who doubted His existence or plan and yet led to a strengthening of their faith. 

What do we look for when we are facing uncertain times? Most of us look to God to fix the problem first. So, what’s the first thing you seek when you’re in this situation? In this passage, we see a man facing a big problem and finding much more than he was looking for.

That bad habit. Those sudden bursts of anger. Those unquenchable desires. Those secret sins. We all have them, and we all know God wants to set us free from them. So why isn’t it happening? Why can’t I seem to change from who I am into who God wants me to be? In this passage, Jesus presents us with two different images that show us how God works to transform His people from the inside out. If you...

Where are your scars? Everyone has them, and when they come from people close to you who have intended to bring you harm, it hurts even more. When God calls you to love people who have hurt you, turned on you, or set out to destroy you, He knew it wouldn’t be easy. So how do we love those that are the hardest to love? If you are interested in attending a service or finding out more, please visit u...

We are always hearing people say how “blessed” they are. In fact, #blessed has 141 million posts on Instagram! All of us want God’s blessing in our lives. In this passage, Jesus is going to speak directly to his disciples and flip their perspective upside down about who the blessed really are.

Ever feel stuck in your faith journey and need to make changes to get to the next level? Jesus came to earth to complete the work the Father had begun in the Old Testament. The Old Testament was based on "law," but Jesus came to bring something completely new – grace in the New Testament! Now He wants to use you to turn the world "Upside Down." If you are interested in attending a service or findi...

Have you ever thought to yourself, “They will never give their heart to Christ… they are just too far gone?”  The truth is, no one is outside of God’s reach. God may need to bring an interruption in our lives in order to teach us this truth and inspire us to reach out. Will we be ready?

Life’s interruptions can become one of God’s greatest opportunities to work in our lives, but we often see those interruptions as a distraction. What results is a missed opportunity to see God working His purpose in our lives. Are we willing to readjust when He interrupts us?
