Mitchell Berean Church - Podcast

When we feel offended it is often because we were unprepared to forgive in the first place. We function out of a mentality that expects everyone around us to be about MY desires and MY good! But we are living in a fallen world, full of sinful people! We are going to get hurt, attacked, offenses will be done against us! So how do we live in a world full of sin and still reflect the heart of Christ?...

This weekend we begin our Easter Series called FORGIVENESS. The role forgiveness plays in our lives is eternal. In order for a person to access God they must come to the place of admitting their need for the forgiveness of God. What follows is the requirement that we give forgiveness generously to others. This is essential for our spiritual health and as we mature we give forgiveness more quickly...

We have been working our way through the book of Titus discovering the instructions the Apostle Paul is giving to the young leader Titus on leadership in the church.

This weekend we begin a new series called "SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP". We will be studying through the book of Titus in this series.

Jesus presented and demonstrated a different model of leadership than the world had ever seen. His model of leadership was that the leader took the postur...

This weekend we conclude our series in the Book of Judges. We will look at a time when the nation of Israel reached her height of rebellion against God. They worshiped all of the gods of the peoples around them. Pursuing them and worshiping them. God again allows them to be persecuted by these peoples who probably disrespected them more for leaving their own God to worship theirs. God gets so fed...

This weekend we continue in the series called JUDGES. The next Judge will study is Gideon. Gideon was a reluctant leader. Jesus appeared to Gideon and told him that he had been chosen to deliver the people of Israel from the oppressive treatment by the Midianites. Gideon struggled to believe what God said He would do was true. After testing God several times he agreed to trust what God said He wou...

This weekend we continue in our series called "Judges". In this series we are learning about four of the leaders God raised up during the time after Joshua died and before they had a King. The nation of Israel was stuck in a bad cycle due to the influence of the Canaanites who lived in the land around them. The Canaanites did not fear or worship God in fact they were wicked people who pulled the p...

This weekend we begin a new series called JUDGES. We will be examining four of the Judges found in the book of the Bible with the same name. Israel has entered the land of Cannan under Joshua's leadership. Joshua has now died and there is no one leader to lead Israel.

Today we will conclude our series called "Fear Not" through a study in Matthew chapter 2. God's plan was under attack and the powers that are at work in our world sought to bring it to an end before it had a chance to begin. Kings from the East, following a star put in the heavens by God, came to worship the King of the Jews. King Herod, having heard this messiah had been born, sought to destroy h...
