This summer, we have been studying the questions Jesus asked in Scripture. More than studying them, we are trying to personalize them for ourselves. We called this series The Simple Questions of Jesus because so many of these questions are simple to hear, but we are learning that “simple” doesn’t mean easy. It’s one thing to hear or read a simple question, but it’s not so simple to answer them for ourselves! But it is so good and . . . Read More »
Jesus Asked – What Do You Want?
Welcome back to our summer Bible Study called The Simple Questions of Jesus. I think we already understand that just because the questions sound simple, it doesn’t make them easy to answer, but wow, it can be life-changing when we do. This study is one I have been looking forward to because it allows us to step into an exercise where we are slowing down and focusing on the very intentional questions Jesus asked and answering them for . . .

Jesus Asked – Why Are You Thinking These Things In Your Hearts?
I know it’s Memorial Day Weekend, but I would like to get us thinking right off the bat here today. What do you think influences your life the most? What do you think is directing your life and impacting your life experiences more than anything else? Now, we are in church, so we may say God, and yeah, that is a good answer. Some might say it’s my family and loved ones. Some might say their job or . . . Read More »

The Importance and Power Of Your Thoughts
Welcome back everyone to our big study of the book of Philippians. This is my last conversation in the Philippians study, and in many ways, I will be bummed to see this series end next week, it’s just so fun to walk through Scripture the way we have, and this particular study just seemed so perfectly timed for the world you and I are living in today. We have broken our study down to two parts, if you . . . Read More »
Concluding A Series On Spiritual Warfare and The Heart With A Conversation On Our Thinking
It’s hard to believe that today is the epic conclusion of our first big conversation of the year called Rise Up and Stand Firm. This series has really meant a lot to us here at MRC because we are talking about things that we all deal with and feel in our everyday lives.

Rise Up & Stand Firm Series Conclusion
I’m Just A Little Set In My Ways…
So here in 2019 we started a pretty big series entitled “What is your kryptonite?” and it’s really our prayer that you are tracking with this series so far because there have been some pretty big concepts that have come out as this series is starting to get rolling. Starting with this whole idea of what our lives SHOULD look like as followers of Jesus, do you remember that? We were using terms like freedom, and victory and . . . Read More »
The Greatest Battle You Will Face: It’s In Your Mind
We are in our new series. It’s all about living in freedom. Sam opened last week with what Jesus said. 34 “I assure you that everyone who sins is a slave of sin. …36 So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free.” NLT John 8:34-36 He followed up with what John said. 4 For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory. 5 And the ones who . . .
