Mission City Church w/ Pastor Josh Hershey

Guest Speaker: Mark Gershick

Join us for todays service as we praise the Lord's name in high and we hear an awesome message brought by our guest speaker Mark Gershick!

SONG OF SONGS (PART 10) - SEEKING THE LORD

In chapter three of the Song we see the bride of Christ seeking the Lord in her midnight hour. She seeks Him upon her bed. She seeks Him within the church. And eventually, she finds Him! And in joy of possessing the tangible presence of the Lord she returns to the church to share Him with others! Join us as we worship together!

POWER OF THE CREED (PART 4) - “CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH”

Join us as we continue our series on the Power of the Creed. We will be covering the material from chapter 4. What does it mean to confess that God is the Creator of everything seen and unseen? Why do we begin with this confession about God? What does it mean for God to be distinct from creation? What does it mean for heaven to have precedence over earth? How do we become agents of heaven? How are heaven and earth compatible?

SONG OF SONGS - MY BELOVED IS MINE, AND I AM HIS

Join us this morning as revel in the glories of being the beloved of Jesus Christ! After Christ presented the bride with new creation life she sings, "My beloved is mine, and I am His." We will discover in this message what it means to possess Christ, what it means for Christ to possess us, how we press forward even in the midst of shadows of the world, and why we can rest assured that nothing can separate us from the love of God poured out in Christ Jesus our Lord!

POWER OF THE CREED (PART 3)

Join us as we continue our series on the Power of the Creed. We will be covering the material from chapter 3 of the book. Why does the Creed start with “belief"? Why is important to confess “one God”? What does it mean to call God “the Father Almighty”? Join us as we delve into these essential truths of our faith!

SONG OF SONGS (PART 8) - AWAKENING TO THE GLORY OF NEW CREATION LIFE

In Song of Songs 2:8-15 we see the church which has been in a state of sweet rest in Christ’s embrace is woken by her Lover to a new assignment. Christ calls His bride to “rise up and come away” (Song of Songs 2:10). He has created an eternal spring and He calls us to enter into the glories of new creation life. To rise in resurrection strength from our sweet rest and to be a sent out as an ambassador to the nations. Singing forth His praises and not allowing any of the work of the enemy to spoil His fruitfulness in our lives. Join us!

SONG OF SONGS (PART 7) - THE ROSE OF SHARON & BANNER OF LOVE

Join us as we delve into Song of Songs 2:1-7. Here we see Christ presented as the Rose of Sharon, the Church as a lily among thorns, Christ as a beautiful fruit tree among a forest of barren trees, and a triumphal banner over the church which reads “LOVE.” We must not be awakened from this love! We must rest in the arms of Christ and dream this wondrous dream of love until it becomes reality in our lives! Christ declares, “Do not stir up nor awaken my beloved!”

POWER OF THE CREED (PART 2)

Join us as we continue our series on the Power of the Creed. We will be covering the material from chapter 2 the book. You will learn about who the ‘apostolic fathers’ are as well as what a ‘creed’ is. Is the Nicene Creed biblical? Should we read the writings of Christians from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th centuries that have been preserved? How should we think about these things? Join us!

SONG OF SONGS (PART 6) - A HOLY CONTEST OF LOVE

In Song of Songs 1:9-17 we see Christ and the Church shower each other with words of love! In this section of the Song we see the church is described as a warrior bride who has been bejeweled by the Father, Son, and Spirit. Christ is the One who dwells in the Church’s heart by faith and makes her fragrant. The church is meant to be a chaste virgin with dove’s eyes. And everything that Christ possesses is ours through union with Him. Join us!

POWER OF THE CREED (PART 1)

Join us as we kick off our new Bible Study series on the power of the Nicene Creed. We will be covering the material from chapter 1 of our book. What is “the church”? How does belief transform us? How will we respond when we are at a “crossroads” in life? Join us!
