NEW CREATION REALITIES (PART 13)

Join us for our Bible Study—'Christ In You Brings Rest'! We will be looking at the themes in chapters 21 and 22 of New Creation Realities. We are called to live from the life of Jesus Christ who indwells us and fully enter into His Rest. Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29)

ACTS (PART 22) — “TRUSTING GOD NO MATTER WHAT”

Acts 12 opens with the martyrdom of the first apostle—James. Though the Church mourns the loss of one of Jesus’ inner three apostles, they still continue to persevere in prayer for Peter who had been locked up in prison by Herod. And God responds to their prayers! A heavenly messenger breaks Peter's chains, opens iron gates, leads him into freedom, and ultimately strikes down the tyrant! And all this happens in the eleventh hour! Join us as we worship, pray, and dive into the Word!

NEW CREATION REALITIES (PART 12)

Join us tonight for our Bible Study! We will be looking at what it means to be free from condemnation and why we no longer need to walk as ‘mere men’. Too many of us live in a state of unworthiness—the revelation of who we are in Christ, the power of the Spirit in our lives, and the glory of new creation life lies dormant. But we don’t need remain in that state! We all can begin to walk in liberty and the abundant life God has given us as children of God!

ACTS (PART 21) — “DARING NEW ADVENTURES IN GENTILE LANDS”

After Cornelius received the Gospel in Acts 10-11 there appears to be a slow response by Christians in Jerusalem to engage in Gentile missions. But other Christian communities weren’t as lax. The Christians in Cyrene (North Africa) and those from the island of Cyprus began to send out missionaries to Gentile dense areas like the great city of Antioch. A mission greatly blessed by God! And once the great teachers like Saul of Tarsus and Barnabas got involved, the mission became even more blessed! Join us as we worship and continue our journey through Acts and learn to be bold and brave in our 'adventures' with Christ!

ACTS (PART 20) — ‘CHRIST HAS BROKEN DOWN EVERY WALL’

Once Peter arrives at Cornelius' house in Caesarea God does something remarkable—He pours out His Spirit on all the Gentiles even before Peter finishes preaching! In Acts 10-11, Simon Bar Jonah, becomes a greater ‘Jonah’ than the Old Testament prophet. He joyously preaches to the Gentiles and reports their conversion! Christ Jesus “has made Jews and Gentiles one… broken down the middle wall of separation… and granted us both access by one Spirit to the Father” (Ephesians 2). Join us as we worship and continue our journey through Acts! 

THE GRAND VISION OF WORSHIP IN SCRIPTURE

While we will worship in song, today’s ‘worship night’ will primarily be focused on teaching about what worship is all about. God wove music and worship into the very fabric of His creation. Scripture teaches us there is true worship and false worship. True worship is in Spirit and Truth with the Lamb of God taking center stage. As we focus on who God is and magnify His Name we are engaging in an act of warfare in the heavenly places. Join the choirs of heaven and MCC tonight!

ACTS (PART 19) — THE SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS OF CORNELIUS AND PETER

Acts 10 is one of the most pivotal chapters in the entire book. God sends an angel to a powerful Roman centurion and then just hours later gives Peter an ‘open heaven’ vision of a linen cloth descending from God’s presence filled with all sorts of clean and unclean animals. God wants the church to know that the Gospel is truly meant for ALL people—no exceptions! We must rid ourselves of fleshly traditions and superstitions and see things through the lens of Christ’s finished work on the cross. There are many important lessons to learn from both Cornelius and Peter today! Join us!

EW CREATION REALITIES (PART 11)

oin us as we open the word and discover how the ‘Finished Work’ of Jesus and His current glorified state in Heaven has changed reality. Understanding the changes that have occurred between the old and new covenants is so important for how we approach God and deal with our challenges in life. When we know what Christ has done for us, and what He desires to do through us today, we begin to experience the joys of His abundant Life!

ACTS (PART 18) — ’The Healing of Aeneas and Resurrection of Tabitha’

After recording the conversion of Saul of Tarsus at Damascus, Luke shifts his focus to the ministry of Peter. In particular, Luke hones in on two mighty miracles performed near the coast of Judea before Peter is called to a Gentile’s home. The healing of a paralytic causes an entire town to believe! And the raising of a dead widow also causes many to believe! The same Risen Lord that was with Peter is with us today! He is the Lord of restoration! He is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25)! Join us as we worship!

NEW CREATION REALITIES (PART 10)

Join us as we discover the importance of knowing who we are in Christ and what it means to have our own faith life. We truly have access to so many glorious resources in Christ Jesus. An abundant life that is always present and available to us. A life that can get us through every circumstance and every season. Join us as we worship!
