“God’s Will and Christian Liberty – Part 2”
Mark B. Thogmartin
Our Lord Jesus instructed to pray “…Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” In Part 2 of this two part series we examine three different models of seeking and discerning God’s will. The “Boundaries” model is recommended in which the believer has liberty in decision making guided by God’s Word, wisdom, and His providential […]
“God’s Will and Christian Liberty – Part 1”
Mark B. Thogmartin
The Apostle Paul admonishes us, in Romans 12, to discern the will of God “by testing.” In Philippians 2 Paul says to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling because God is at work in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” Discerning the will of God is obviously […]
“Shucking Us Down To The Cob VI”
Steven A. Bush
While we do not offer this message in podcast form, the outline and notes are important in that they tie all that encompasses MCC’s Statement of Faith to the Scriptures. The Sunday this message was recorded was jam-packed with Scripture references, questions and clarifications and proved to be more of a Bible study than a sermon delivered from the […]
“Shucking Us Down To The Cob V”
Steven A. Bush
This message, which could have been first in the “Cob” series, is all about how we revere, value, adhere to, and seek to build everything on the foundation of the Word of God. Martin Luther gave us the Latin term, Sola Scriptura, which means “Scripture alone.” We believe the Bible is the final authority for […]
“Shucking Us Down To The Cob IV”
Steven A. Bush
This message reveals how Prayer has always been a part of our spiritual DNA. Our first meeting as a church was on July 5, 1987 and every Sunday for the next 9 months was essentially a prayer meeting. And prayer remains a central and vital ministry of our church. This message explores the Scriptures with regard to the […]
“Shucking Us Down To The Cob III”
Steven A. Bush
This message addresses the whole issue of buildings (or rather our lack thereof). Here we explore the Scriptures with respect to what the church is, how it is meant to be an organism vs. a dead institution; how the early church existed successfully despite meeting in multiple venues; and how we have learned to be faithful, […]
“Shucking Us Down To the Cob II”
Steven A. Bush
This message is a continuance of the first sermon in the series, addressing how we actually “flesh out” the Great Commandment and Great Commission. We explore the difference between internal transformation vs external prescription; vertical and horizontal love; being authentic; the obstacles inherent with fulfilling our calling; and how we need not ever be ashamed of being a small […]
“Shucking Us Down To the Cob I”
Steven A. Bush
This is a message about our mission and vision, who we are called to be and what we are called to do. Our purpose statements are directly linked to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission with love and authentic relationships being at the core of who we are as a family of believers. “Shucking Us Down […]
