Mission City Church w/ Pastor Josh Hershey

A ‘PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP’ WITH THE LORD (PART 2)

Join us as we worship the Lord and continue to discover what it means to have a “personal relationship” with Him. We will continue to delve into the mystery of the ascension, powerful truths from the book of Deuteronomy, as well as what it means to “hallow the name of Lord.” The Lord truly is “with us” and “goes before us.” He truly is an Almighty Father who desires to be near us and have a relationship with us. Jesus said, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17:3).

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (PART 1)

Join us as we begin our study in the book of Daniel by delving into Daniel 1. The book of Daniel takes place “in the land of Shinar.” We see Daniel operate as a New Abraham, New Joseph, and New Moses in domain of Nimrod. We see what it means to resist the names the world gives us and cling to the names God gives us. We see what it means to serve Yahweh before and above serving masters in the world. And God blesses us in that position of humility. Just as He blessed His Son and gave Him the name above every name.

A ‘PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP’ WITH THE LORD

Join us as we worship the Lord and discover what it means to “have a personal relationship” with Him. We will discover what it means to “hallow the name of Lord” in our midst. We also will learn lessons from the book of Deuteronomy—that the Lord is “with us” and “goes before us”! On top of this, Pastor Josh will be sharing some vision for the upcoming year. We are boldly and courageously moving forward into 2021!

Let the Light Shine... Suddenly! (Guest Speaker: Keith Hershey)

Happy New Year! We all NEED the Light of God's love and revelation. LET THE LIGHT SHINE...SUDDENLY! and bring the change and transformation in our lives and in our world.

ONE THING I DO... Forgetting! (Guest Speaker: Keith Hershey)

The gift of forgetting is something God has given you. So be released from everything that troubles your soul! Your Heavenly Father models this for us, in not just forgiving us of our sins, but forgetting these sins as well. To move forward to the prize of Jesus, you first must forget the things which are behind! You cannot go forward and backward at the same time! In this scriptural lesson, let God love you so deeply, you can humble yourself and forget what is behind, to reach forward into the best season ever of your life- the upward call of God in Christ Jesus!

CHRISTMAS—THE ARRIVAL OF NEW CREATION LIFE

With the birth of Christ comes the entrance of new creation life.The Light of God has risen over the world’s deepest darkness (Is. 59-60; John 1:1-9). No one needs to despair! As we read the Christmas story we should all be filled with HOPE. For the Child born is none other then our brother! Those who receive Him become co-heirs with Him! (Rom 8:17). We become heirs of eternal life! (Tit. 3:7) Let us rejoice this Christmas Season in what the Lord has done! Join us as we worship!

JESUS'S LAST KINGDOM DISCOURSE

In Matthew 23-25 Jesus gives his fifth and last kingdom discourse in the Gospel. It is related to the fifth epoch in Israel's history--the destruction of the temple and the emergence of a new kingdom order. Jesus gives us much to ponder in terms of what healthy kingdom leadership looks like, what it means to be sheltered from the storms of this world, and also how we are to look in anticipation for the fulness of His kingdom at the consummation of history. Join us as we worship the Lord and unpack into His Word!

COMMUNITY OF FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION

Part of Jesus’ kingdom teaching as to do with the necessity of seeking reconciliation and peace. The second part of Matthew 18 is all about Jesus’ teaching in terms of how to “gain” a brother who has sinned against us. Jesus doesn’t want to see his community at odds with one another. He wants there to be forgiveness, reconciliation, and peace. Join us!

BECOMING LITTLE CHILDREN

Jesus taught that the person who is “greatest in the kingdom of heaven” is the one who is converted and becomes like a little child. This morning we will be delving into the fourth of the five kingdom discourses of Jesus gives in the Gospel of Matthew. It is all about unity, humility, and reconciliation. Join us!

THE INESTIMABLE VALUE OF THE KINGDOM

The last three parables of Jesus in Matthew 13 have to do with the exceedingly great worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus compares the kingdom to a “hidden treasure”, a “pearl of great price”, and something like a “dragnet” that gathers everything in its path and keeps what is beautiful in His eyes. Do we have the same appreciation for the kingdom as the man who found the treasure or the merchant who found the pearl? Are our hearts filled with thanksgiving for the extraordinary treasure we possess in Christ Jesus? Join us as we worship!
