Monterey Church of Christ

The funny thing about trying to climb "ladders" in life is that they ultimately lead to nowhere. Listen to this week's sermon to learn about the practice of becoming the least and giving up our power.

Walking alongside people as Jesus calls us to requires us to sacrifice our time.

Our challenge this week is to be shaped by contentment and simplicity that Christ calls us to in the Beatitudes.

Barry kicks off a brand new sermon series that asks the question, "What shapes us?" 

Aaron Dawson, our Missional Life Minister, preaches a message about giving and receiving today. 

Today we introduce Stephen Ministry, and new ministry effort designed to equip us to walk one-on-one with people in crisis. Special guest speakers Darra Lansman, Tara Souder, Scott Gwinn, and Joey Drumright.

God has equipped ALL of his people for good works of service in the kingdom, for the sake of His Name!

We kick off a brand-new series called "Gifted To Serve" this Sunday!

Brian Starr preaches on the biblical theme of leadership as we kick off our church's elder selection process.

In this sermon, Barry walks us through the development and meaning of our church's Identity statement: When we are at our best, we are a Christ-centered, Grace-Oriented, Spirit-Led church. Identity statements are not just about who we ARE, but also about who we want to BECOME.

After a summer spent focusing on the fruit of the Spirit, we end with this question: how will we be known? How will YOU be known?

Self-control is the soil in which the rest of the fruit of the Spirit is grown. Guest preacher David Fraze walks us through the importance of self-control in our lives.

Summer is flying by, and today is about the fruit of the Spirit of gentleness.

Faithfulness is the seventh characteristic of the fruit of the Spirit.

Our culture uses the word "good" in many different contexts. But how does the Bible define "goodness," and how can we make room in our lives for Holy Spirit to cultivate that fruit?

Peace in this world? Is that even possible?

The second part of the fruit of the Spirit is Joy -- what does joy look like in today's world?

In this sermon, our Connection Minister Hudson Hutchinson preaches to us about the fruit of love.

We kick off our summer series on the Fruit of the Spirit by asking, “Do we treat the fruit of the Spirit like a check-list?” What kind of fruit is Holy Spirit producing in our lives?

We conclude our Holy Spirit series with Aaron Dawson (Missional Life Minister) bringing a word to us on the difference between "capturing" the wind and "catching" the wind.

The greatest manifestation of the Spirit’s presence in the life of a believer is that one is transformed more and more into the image of Christ. Likewise, a church “led by the Spirit” is transformed more and more into the image of Christ.

May 15, 2022 Senior Sunday is a big day to celebrate all that God has done in the lives of our high school seniors!

The New Testament uses many words to describe the work of the Spirit in our lives, but at the heart of the Spirit's presence is the word "guarantee." We are not alone in this world, and the Spirit is a deposit, guaranteeing our future in Jesus.

May 1, 2022 Scripture affirms that Holy Spirit lives in us! Just as the Spirit of God was alive in the early church, he is alive and well within the church today.

April 24, 2022 We kicked off a brand-new series this Sunday that focuses us on Holy Spirit and his role in our lives!
