Mission City Church w/ Pastor Josh Hershey

The Father has "blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1:3).This is remarkable! EVERY blessing! And they are all found simply by being "in Christ." Join us as we worship the Lord, fellowship together, and especially dive into the foundational blessings of the forgiveness of all of our sins and the gift of righteousness! We are FULLY FORGIVEN and MADE RIGHTEOUS in Christ!

You are far more blessed IN CHRIST than you have ever dared imagine! You are fully forgiven, made righteous, shame free, empowered, sanctified, crucified and risen, a child of God, an ambassador of the King, God's dwelling place, Christ's Bride, and much more! We will begin our journey in this new series by diving into the story of Mephibosheth and seeing how his story gives a great framework for us understanding what it means to be "in Christ"!  

A foundational biblical story to understanding how we walk in the promises of God is the story of Israel being called to enter the Promised Land in Joshua 1. There are many powerful lessons in this chapter of the Bible! We learn that the promises of God are pure gift, that the Lord is with us every step of the way as we inherit the promises in our life, and that God's Word makes us strong and courageous to begin to appropriate His promises! Join us as we worship the Lord  and position ourselves properly to begin to walk in all of God's exceedingly great and precious promises!

Let's begin the New Year fearlessly and courageously looking unto Jesus! He is the God-Man who walks on water and invites us to walk on water with Him. He is the One who never leaves us and is with us in the midst of every storm. Let’s begin this New Year by being reminded of the importance of walking by faith and not by sight, trusting the Lord every step of the way. Join us as we worship!

The final vision John sees in the New Jerusalem is a vision of the River of Life. Jesus had told His followers, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water" (John 7:37-38). The Bride of the Lamb has a River of Life flowing right through her producing fruit from the tree of life and leaves that are for the healing of the nations! God truly is our full supply and we can completely trust Him as the giver of abundant life! Join us as we worship!

At the end of Revelation John is given a powerful picture of the church. He describes the church as "the bride of the Lamb" and symbolically describes it as a giant, golden, bedazzled, cubic city that descends from the highest heavens. A city with twelve gates that are always open to the north, south, east, and west calling for all the inhabitants of the world to find their place in new covenant glory and everlasting life. Fittingly, it is the most 'shiny' and 'glorious' vision in the Bible as God brings His magnificent story to an end. Let us give thanks for the new creation bride He has made us to be in Christ! We truly are far more blessed than we can imagine!

At the end of Revelation John is given a magnificent vision of the Bride of the Lamb! Her name is New Jerusalem. And she comes down from heaven to replace the old Jerusalem that was smoldering in ashes. This City is not made of bricks and mortar. Rather, it is made of men and women! It is made of those who have put their faith in Christ and become “living stones” of God’s House! (1 Peter 2:5) Those who have come to the Heavenly Jerusalem have partaken of “living waters” and entered into “new creation” (John 7:38; 2 Corinthians 5:17). This City is not simply our eternal destination, but also a powerful picture of who we are in Christ today! Join us we worship the Lord together!

Join us for our Bible Study. We will be worshipping the LORD and concluding our study of Proverbs with Proverbs 30-31. Proverbs like “Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die" (Proverbs 31:8), “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.” (Proverbs 31:10), and  “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised" (Proverbs 31:30).
