Monterey Church of Christ

Happy Easter from Monterey! He is risen!

Palm Sunday is the story of two kings — one who rides into Jerusalem on a war horse, and one who rides in on a colt of a donkey.

What does extravagant worship "smell" like? Mary (John 12) gives us a great example.

Hudson Hutchinson, our Connection Minister, challenges us to extend the unconditional welcome of God to those around us, just as He has extended that welcome to us.

Luke 13:31-35 gives us a short but interesting story of Jesus and his idea of what kingdom looks like.

In this story found in Luke 4, Jesus shows us that he engages the world as both fully God AND fully human.

The early church didn't have a road map for handling big decisions back then any more than we do now. But we still have Holy Spirit even today.

The story of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10 shows us that God is doing something new in the world, and our invitation is to be a part of it. How is God calling you to be a part of a new thing today?

Today we honor Jim & Phyllis Beck who have spent the last 40 years making disciples in Kenya! They did not take Jesus anywhere -- they joined him where he already was, just like we are called to do each and every day.

Because of Jesus and the willingness of Philip, a man who finds himself on the fringes finds that he is welcome in the kingdom of God — just like all of us.

Today is our annual Family Commitment Sunday! It's a day where we celebrate the new babies that have been added to our church family and commit as a church family to be a part of discipling each other's lives and walking with one another toward Jesus! Small matters MATTER!

The story of Ananias and Sapphira is not one that you will find in most children’s stories and flannel graphs, but it holds a key message of creativity for how the church can live in generosity to those around us.

Where does the power that we have come from? We continue to explore this question as we wrestle with the book of Acts.

What happens at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit comes on the people marks a significant change in how Jesus interacts with all people!

Our first sermon in our series on the book of Acts invites us to bear witness to what God is doing, just as the apostles did centuries ago. God moves, we bear witness.

Joey Drumright, our Congregational Life Minister, shifts our focus from Hope as something meant ONLY for Jesus to something that we can all carry into the world in the name of Jesus.

Join us for our annual Christmas Eve service!

Our idea of peace and God’s idea of peace often come into conflict with each other. What does Jesus mean when he is called “Prince of Peace?”

Through Jesus, God gives us a picture of the kind of eternal care-giving and providing that He does for His people. This is our Everlasting Father.

Through Jesus, God redefines "might."

Sometimes it's easier to trust in the problem that we see, rather than the wisdom and counsel of a God that we often cannot see.

This week Doug kicks off our Advent series "Hope Has A Name."

Jesus gives us the Lord’s Prayer as a starting point for how to have a relationship with our Father. Today we spent time in prayer over several specifice areas affecting our lives and the world right now.

"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." (Matthew 6:13)

Often we think that holding grudges hurts others more than it hurts us, but that's not true.
