What makes us great?
In a world where success is measured by our economic standing, what is success to God?
Who are you? Tenant or Messenger?
In this message, Rev. Dr. Lori encourages us to see within ourselves who are we and then take the necessary steps to change for the better.
See all and follow Jesus
Today in the sharing of God's word, Rev. Dr. Lori E. Hatch-Rivera encourages to pay attention and focus our eyes on and in Jesus.
Cleansed
Christ's death has cleansed us from all our past, so why is it that people like to use our past against us?
Salt and Light
The most essential elements needed in life are also the same elements we need to as followers of the Christ.
Requests from unexpected people
There are times when you have enough faith, you will be healed only just by stretching your arm.
What happens after you are healed?
That is a good question.
What type of soil are you?
Those who called themselves believers and followers of Christ are one of these types of soils.
Whom shall I love
What is love?
Why is it easier not to Believe?
It requires faith on our part.
Four days late but He is still on Time
God is a God of opportunities. We must persist in prayer no matter what, maybe, it could be that our prayers might the be second opportunity somebody needs from God.
In the waiting December 29th 2019
What does God require of us? How long does it take God to answer our prayers?
Joy, 3rd Advent
We celebrate today our 3rd Advent
I almost forgot (Advent 1: HOPE)
As we begin the month of December, let us remember that it is not about toys or gifts, it is about Christ.
Unlimited Power
What is this Unlimited Power?, where does it come from? Can I have it?
Living with Peace
How can we live with Peace?
Searching for the fountain of youth
What is it we need from God?
A Future with Hope
At times we believe that our plans are better than God's plans, we are delusional to believe that we control our lives, thou in some way that is true, but we forget that God, the Creator, has a better and greater plan for our lives.
Do you trust God?
Trusting God is no easy thing, but the Creator has all the answers we do not.
God's greatest gift
Birthday, Christmas and many other holidays are reasons that people receive gifts. These gifts of course with the passing of time may be given away, may break, or you may throw them in the trash or give them to a thrift store. There is one gift that does not have an expiration date, you could refuse it, and this gift is everlasting. The gift we are speaking is the git that comes from our Heavenly Creator.
Courage
What does it mean to have courage?
Change will happen
Who likes change to come into their lives? Change is inevitable, it will come to all of us, it's how we learn to adapt to it that makes the difference.
God's power is for You
It is not enough to pray to God for the things we need, at times we also have to get involved. You can pray to God for a job but don't expect to get a call if you have not filled out applications for work or have sent your resume to companies that are looking for workers, you have to send your information and let God help you get the right job that is for you. The book of Matthew clearly tells us that we are to ask, seek and knock.
Oh Little Town of Bethlehem by Luke Shannon
In today's service our brother Luke Shannon, who has one more year of Seminary, will be making a presentation about his experience as an Interim at MCC and also his travels to the Holy Land and how he saw things.
Did You Listen To God?
There are many times in our lives where we go to church, are in diver ministries, are even involved in other things around our community and yet we fail to listen to God's voice. What happened?
No excuse
In the sharing of the word, Rev. Dr. Lori explains to us that there is really no excuse for us not to be involve in the things of the Creator, at church and even not given up running the race.
How's your race going?
Today's message allows us to reflect how we are doing in our own personal race, this is not a marathon you are running or preparing for but the race set before us by God.
Where is your treasure?
Where our heart is that's where our treasure will be.
Seek Things Above
We are so tied down to the things of this world, we get caught up with worries, we become more preoccupied with money, buying things and planning for the future, and that is all right to do but when it does not include God then things are vain and useless. In today's message, Rev. Dr. Lori explains to us what we must do to stay focus on God and in God.
Can I be proud?
What is it like for people who have never been to a Gay Pride fest? We need to be proud of who we are not prideful.
Who is my neighbor?
In the teaching of the word today, our brother Neil Pazumas explains to us the reality of knowing who our neighbors are.
We are loved
In today's message, Rev. Daniel M T. Kuykendall shares his experience while growing up in his home country in Ecuador, the hard times and the necessity for each of us to love others no matter what.
Endurance and Wisdom
Are theses two separate things in the Christian life? Is endurance supposed to be hand in hand with wisdom? Toda, Rev. Dr. Lori explains to us the difference and who these two words come together in our lives.
An Advocate
The Holy Spirit, is He limited? In this message, Rev. Dr. Lori explains to us how the Holy Spirit works, its power and our responsibility.
What must I do?
The only question we must ask to find salvation. In this message, Rev. Dr. Lori guides us with the word of God in how we must do this.
Heaven Has Come Near
We expect one day to go to Heaven, that is, when you die. What we do not understand that we are experiencing heaven around us.
Who is unclean?
Just like the Apostle Peter, who being raised in the traditional jewish way, we too have to learn to accept ourselves and anyone else who is different. We don't have to rationalize it just accept it.
The Good Shepherd
Sheep need a guide, an individual who can lead them to the correct pastures, this individual is The Shepherd. Likewise, we need the Creator, Jesus the Christ and the Holy Spirit to guide us to all truth.
Come just as you are
How we perceive people at times has to do with our culture and upbringing.
Pass it On
The good news is worthy of passing it on
