April 14th: Gospel Sunday @ MCBC…

by Posted in Schedule

Hey church!

This coming Sunday is Gospel Sunday. It is a good time to invite your relative, friends, co-workers, neighbors who might have questions about Jesus and Christianity. If you know anybody in whose heart God is working then pray for them and invite them to this coming service. It will be at our regular start time (9:30am) in the sanctuary.

We will be looking at the transfiguration…


Matthew 17:1-5

1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

 

4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

 

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

 

Who was Jesus?

What is His transfiguration? And what was the meaning of it?

Why should we listen to Him?

What does he have to tell us?

 

These are all legitimate questions that arise after reading Matthew 17:1-5. Maybe some of these questions are on your relatives, friends, co-worker, neighbors’ mind? As we try to make sense of this supernatural event this morning hopefully God will reveal to us how this event speaks into their lives and ours.

April 7th: saving and giving @ MCBC…

by Posted in Schedule

Hey church!

Who likes to save $ here? Give me a “Yea! Yea!!” I LOVE to save money and get the most bang for my buck!!! I’ll be honest and say that for me the most bang is always measured in terms of food…”with this saved money I can buy this or that to eat, I can buy X pound of this or Y number of that.” Saving is great for my tummy.
It’s been a while since we had a sermon on offering. We will, hopefully, learn more about it but most importantly, hopefully, be challenged to start giving or give more faithfully or give more consistently or give more cheerfully.
 
PS. Also note that this Sunday we will have 2 offerings/pass the offering bags twice: the regular Sunday offering first and then the caring offering second. The caring offering is collected to help families in need in out church family. Feel free to give to this special offering if the Spirit leads you.

March 24th: This Sunday at MCBC…

Hey church!How many expectations, small and big, did you have this past week? Did all of them come through? If I could get 1$ for each thing that does not live up or happen according to expectation I would be rich! 😀

I think most of you will agree with me that we worship and serve a God who has a killer sense for surprise. He has a knack for knowing how to throw us off guard. Off guard enough to make us reflect and/or fall back in his arms to be assured of things he has for us but yet not fully visible. Does this sound familiar to you?

I hope that this coming Sunday will be a great time to expect the unexpected and reflect on our proper response.

PS. I hope the worship team does not mind me sharing but they have a sweet set of songs for singspiration this coming Sunday…here are the songs in case you want to prepare yourself to greet and praise your God and Maker… 😀 Prepare the Way + Forever Reign + Cornerstone + Waiting Here for You
