March 9th: Lent starts this Sunday at MCBC…

by Posted in Blog
Hey church!!

This coming Sunday we are starting the season of spiritual preparation preceding Easter. This season is called Lent.

“Lent traditionally is the forty-day period before Resurrection Day (Easter). The ancient church practices during Lent were meant to renew the believers' faith and rekindle their special relationship with Jesus Christ. Historically, Lent has been a time of penitent prayer, fasting, and almsgiving (giving to the poor).” (Dr. Kwasi Kena. http://wesleyconnectonline.com/less-equals-more-doing-gods-math-during-lent-dr-kwasi-kena/)

So come ready for another Lent season, 2014 edition! Although this is only the 2nd year that we officially celebrate Lent as a congregation, this year we have great plans to make Lent less but at the same time sooo much more! Hope to see many of you this Sunday and start this great season together in worship and community.

"Lent up" for worship!

March 2nd: this Sunday @ MCBC…

Hey worshipers!

This coming Sunday we will be having our first sermon of the year on tithes and offering. May 2014 be another great year of personal growth in how we worship God and serve him through our finances, tithes and offering. May God bless his storehouse at MCBC!

 

In light of the topic of our message today it is fitting to have a math problem:

In 1 Kings 8, we’re told Solomon offered 22,000 cattle and 120 sheep/goats to God at the Temple. If there was 1 priest assigned to work 24 hours a day, for 7 days, then at what frequency should he be performing a sacrifice in order to sacrifice all the animals (in other words, how much time would he have between each animal to sacrifice them all)?


Gear up to praise!!

Feb 23rd: Gospel Sunday

by Posted in Blog
Hey church!

Did anyone do something special for Valentines' day last weekend? Did you have a friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, fiancé or spouse to celebrate with?

What if you had a date lined up but at the last minute your date decided to ditch you and go out with someone else…OUCH! How would you feel? Jealous? Angry? Somehow that's how many of us live our relationship with God. Do you recognize yourself?

If you haven't guessed yet, this coming Gospel Sunday we will be talking about God's jealous love.

Get ready for worship!
