Morgan Hill Bible Church

We have the joy of hearing from some of our pastors on staff as they answer some burning questions. If you have been itching for some answers that don’t normally come up in church, this is for you.

We aren’t talking about global warming. It can be extremely difficult to keep a pure heart and mind before the Lord as we are constantly bombarded by images, media, cultural messages and other temptations from a world that does not think Biblically. So, how do we stop pollution?

Everyone is worthy of love. Marriage is one way that we reflect the love of Christ to each other. The world has many definitions and ideas on how marriage should look, but we want to know God’s heart behind this beautiful union.

Sexuality is not scary. In fact, the Bible is open about laying a beautiful foundation of what healthy Christian sexuality looks like. We are given a generous framework in an intimate area of our life that can be honoring to God, not scary or tainted as the world paints it to be.

Forgetting is easy. Choosing to remember, however, can be a challenge. Do we want to hold on to the promises God has, and the goodness of His character, or are we drifting into forgetfulness? Let choose remembering the truth.

A night to remember. In the most humble entry, the most memorable night in history occurred when Jesus was born. We get to celebrate this every Christmas!

Waiting for an open door? If you only wait for certain ones, you may miss the one that God has for you, it usually is quite surprising!

Spectacular failure. We have most likely felt this way quite a few times in our life. Yet, do our failures define us? Hear how Jesus responds to failures in our life.

Do you crack under pressure? We all feel the weight of the world one way or another. In times where the heaviness feels suffocating, where do you run?

Got a big question? Many of us approach Jesus with these heavy questions, but have we considered that HE also has some for us?

We get to hear from an incredible special guest and MHBC missionary, Laurie Krieg, as she shares her powerful story as a flawed follower through the lens of her marriage; and how Jesus grace was sufficient.

Storms will come. It is not a matter of “if” but “when.” Most of us fight against them or pray for the storms to go away. We may end up questioning why Jesus does not storm the storms in our life. If we turned to look, we would see that He was right there with us.

When Jesus calls, do you answer? Many of us feel as thought we have to “get ourselves together” in order to truly follow Jesus. Yet, perfection is not required of us. We can answer Jesus’ call no matter where or who we are.

When do you give up? We may pray for years for a specific request, and it feels as though the answer will never come through. So, when do you throw up your hands and stop? God has a lot in store for us when we persist in prayer, and we have to keep praying to find out.

Don’t become the villain in your own story. Jonah was called to minister and pray for people that he did not relate to and did not like. Yet, God’s heart is the same for everyone. We are called to minister and pray for those that we despise, letting our hearts be transformed to resemble God’s heart in the process.

Today is different. Join in as we walk through a guided prayer service and spend time with God!

When God’s people intercede, God intervenes. There is much depth and beauty in prayer, and so much of that comes from praying on behalf of others. As the body of Christ, we can step in for each other in lift up one another and watch the miracles happen.

Are you bold in prayer? We may struggle approaching God with our requests, whether they are big or small, but the God we serve wants to hear them all. As we grow in prayer, we can also grow in boldness.

We have a prayer blueprint. One of the most significant things the disciples asked Jesus was how to pray. They watched his prayer life and wanted the same. Jesus showed them the way to pray, and we have the blessing of being able to use it today!

A generous life is radical. In a society that says “more for me”, being a person marked by generosity can be a beautiful representation of Jesus. s Christians, we can represent Jesus love in a radical way and touch the lives of others.

Money can be very stressful. With so much of our world and daily life revolving around money, it can be hard not to fall victim of being consumed by worry around money. Will it ever be enough?

What has your heart? We live in a very affluent area, and it can be temping to keep up with those next door. No matter how many stocks we trade, new cars we buy or loans we take, our treasures on earth are temporary and undependable. There is freedom in life when money no longer owns us.
