Monterey Church of Christ

April 17, 2022 The end of the Christ Song reminds us that Jesus's life did not end on the cross...in fact, his new life calls US to new life too!

April 10, 2022 On Palm Sunday, we recognize the kind of king that Jesus was and is. Philippians 2 (The Christ Song) speaks to this king as well!

April 3, 2022 Today we start a new series on the Christ Song, found in Philippians 2:1-11.

March 27, 2022 Disciple-making is a global undertaking. Today, we hear from Patti Joiner, founder of Olive Branch Ministries, who has made over 60 short-term mission trips all over the world.

March 20, 2022 "Missions" is not just for those who are in other countries. Today we hear from Jordan & Taylor Payne about how they are making a difference in the community around them locally.

March 6, 2022 Our annual Missions Sunday focuses us on how we are invited to join God's mission outside the walls of our church building! Aaron Dawson and Jim Beck share with us.

February 27, 2022 This is the final week in our "LOVE SONG" series. 1 Corinthians 13 is less like a wedding, and more like a counseling session between Paul and the Corinthian church...if he were to come and counsel Monterey, what would he say?

February 20, 2022 We could have the greatest ministries, the best worship gatherings, and the most amazing leadership in the whole world, but if we don't have LOVE, we are nothing but a "resounding gong" or "clanging cymbal." What does a church that loves well  smell like to God?

February 13, 2022 We start a new series today that looks at 1 Corinthians 13. What does culture say about love? How do we  define love? And how might that be different from how God defines it?

February 6, 2022 Our annual Family Commitment Sunday! Each year we celebrate the new babies that have been born into our church over the last 12 months, and we commit as a church to walk alongside these families as they raise their kids to know Jesus.

January 30, 2022 This week we're joined by our Operations Minister, Sean Collins, to discover some of the "behind the scenes" ministry involved in the life of our church family.

January 23, 2022 This Sunday we talk about about our Congregational Life, Connection, and Missional Life ministries and how you can serve in these various ways!

January 16, 2022 As the body is made up of many parts, so is our church! Hear from several members on staff today and learn how you can be involved across the various age-grouped ministries that we have (children's, youth, and senior adult ministries).

January 9, 2022 Sacrifice is one of our values as a church. Three of our elders talk about what that looks like in their lives.

January 2, 2022 We kick off a new year by reflecting on our value of Worship, and Barry and Sam Souder (our worship minister) walk through what Worship looks like in our life as a body of Christ, and as individuals.

December 26, 2021 Christ has come into the world! So...what does that mean for us today?

December 19, 2021 Love came down in the flesh through Jesus Christ. That was 2000+ years ago...how does that truth affect our lives today?

December 12, 2021 Joy is more than an emotion or fleeting feeling -- it is a choice to look at the world through the lens of Jesus who has been born and recognize that Light has come, and that darkness has not won. Interview with Ryan & Shelbi Hannsz included.

December 5, 2021 One of our favorite quotes from this sermon message: "Peace is joy resting." What does a life of peace look like in a world of chaos?

November 28, 2021 The coming of Jesus brings hope for our "already," and promises future with God in our "not yet."

November 21, 2021 The gospel of Mark ends in a somewhat strange way...why would Mark end they story on a cliff-hanger, and what is he trying to tell us?

November 14, 2021 Imagine a world where everyone is in a hurry to serve the way Jesus did.

November 7, 2021 Mark 9 tells the story of a father whose son needed Jesus. The father admits that his faith is weak and prays, "Help my unbelief." What does it look like when our faith is weak, and is it okay to have doubt?

October 31, 2021 Mark 5:1-20 tells the story of Jesus interacting with the demon-possessed man in a graveyard. An appropriate sermon for Halloween Sunday!

October 24, 2021 In the gospel of Mark, Jesus RADICALLY redefines what family is.
