Mission City Church w/ Pastor Josh Hershey

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

Join us for our fourth Theology Night! Did you know that we know exactly what the night skies looked like 2,000 years ago? Did you know that we can put ourselves in the position of Eastern Magi and see what they saw the years leading up to Christ's birth? And what they saw was absolutely ASTONISHING! No wonder Matthew was inspired to write about it in detail and describe why an entire caravan of magi traveled hundreds of miles to come and worship the little baby! Join us as we look back to this historical event in the heavens! This was no fable!

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (PART 27) - ‘LAZARUS, COME FORTH!'

Join us  as we worship the Lord and continue our journey through the Gospel of John! At the end of John 11 we encounter Jesus's last and greatest sign in this Gospel. As the Resurrection and Life, He comes to the tomb of His beloved friend and declares, "Lazarus, Come Forth!" And what happens? Death yields to Life! This disciple of Jesus who had been decaying for four days and was stinking, walked out of the grave and Jesus called on all of his loved ones to "unbind him!” There are so many powerful lessons in this great miracle of Jesus for you and me!

THEOLOGY NIGHT - ‘HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS APPROACH LGBTQ'

Join us for our third Theology Night! We will be looking at what the Scriptures teach about issues relating to LGBTQ, as well as looking at common questions that come up regarding this subject.  We want to be faithful and loving witnesses for Christ in our lives and our culture, and this certainly is always a hot topic in our culture, especially today. 

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (PART 26) -‘DEALING WITH DEATH’

Join us as we worship the Lord and continue our journey through the Gospel of John. In John 11 we encounter three siblings who are dearly beloved friends and followers of Jesus—Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. The brother, Lazarus, suddenly has a turn for the worse and dies. And four days pass while Jesus is absent! How does Jesus handle the situation? How does He speak to both Mary and Martha who are emotionally handling the situation differently? How does Life confront Death? Join us as we learn several powerful lessons from our Omnipotent Loving Lord!

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (PART 25) - ‘UNSNATCHABLE!’

Join us as we worship the Lord and continue our journey through the Gospel of John! Jesus declared, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." (John 10:27-28). There are so many powerful truths in the second half of John 10. One major one being that NO POWER, physical or spiritual, can snatch us out of the hand of Christ! We are unsnatchable! Safe and secure!

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (PART 23) - ‘THE GOOD SHEPHERD’

Join us as we worship the Lord and continue our journey through the Gospel of John! In John 10 Jesus declares, "I am the Good Shepherd" (John 10:11). He desires to lead us into green pasture, beside still water, and restore our souls! He truly has come to bring us into “ABUNDANT LIFE" (John 10:10). A life where we are content and flourishing in the inward man. The Shepherd calls us by name and we know His voice (John 10:3). There are so many powerful truths in this section of John!

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (PART 21) - ‘I ONCE WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I

oin us as we worship the Lord and continue our journey through the Gospel of John! At the end of John 9 the blind man Jesus healed gives a bold testimony before the religious leaders in Jerusalem. After being "cast out" of their holy sites (temple and synagogue) he is found by Jesus! This story is full of powerful truths for our own lives!

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (PART 21) - ‘HEALING OF THE MAN BORN BLIND'

Join us as we worship the Lord and continue our journey through the Gospel of John! In John 9 Jesus performs His sixth great sign. A powerful sign that declares who He is as not just the Author of creation, but also the Author of new creation. He is the One who has come to make the blind see - both literally and spiritually. He is the One who opens the eyes of our hearts today so we can testify to His goodness and grace.

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (PART 20) — ‘THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE’

Join us as we worship the Lord, fellowship together, and continue our journey through the Gospel of John! In John 8 Jesus declares, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32). We will be unpacking this powerful statement as well as many other dynamic truths Jesus gives concerning who the sons of Abraham are, what it means for Abraham to have seen Christ's day, as well as one of Jesus's clearest declarations of divinity in all of Scripture—‘Before Abraham was, I AM!’

THEOLOGY NIGHT - 'Halloween and the Unseen Realm'

Join usfor our second Theology Night! We will be looking at common questions concerning the subject of Halloween and the Unseen Realm, as well as taking any questions on the spot people have. Are the origins of Halloween pagan or Christian? Is it okay to dress up and go trick-or-treating? How should we view jack-o'-lanterns? How about 'haunted houses'? What is the origin story of the devil and his angels? What is their relation to Halloween? What is the devil's primary strategies in attacking Christians? Some of the answers to these questions will likely surprise you!
