Ever feel like you’re drowning in debt, a broken relationship, or a season of failure? Pastor Scot Longyear explores how our lowest moments are often God’s greatest provisions, using Jonah’s journey from the belly of a fish to a life of repentance. Join us as we discover why hitting rock bottom might be the solid foundation you need to finally stop running and find the "Amazing Grace" that meets you at your worst.
Have you ever had that nagging feeling that you’re heading in the wrong direction, not just on the road, but in your life? Whether you’re chasing comfort or actively avoiding a difficult call, join us as we dive into the story of Jonah to discover why we run from God and how He uses the storms of life to call us back home.
Pastor Scot reflects on MCC's year long 100 Year Celebration and the concept of setting resolutions as we enter a new year. He expands on three ways we can practically develop new spiritual habits.
Pastor Scot reflects on why each of the Gospel writers used the word joy instead of happiness so frequently in their description of Jesus's birth.
We often spend the Christmas season stressing over whether someone is "worth" a gift or struggling to find something for the person who has it all—but what do you give to Jesus, the King who already owns everything? Drawing from the journey of the Magi, Senior Pastor Scot Longyear explores how we can offer God the few things He doesn't already have: our pursuit, our perseverance, and our heartfelt worship.
Seeking revival? It's not about forcing God's hand, but about preparing our hearts for an intensification of His ordinary work. Discover how Mary and Isaiah postured themselves for God's sovereign, transformative interruption, which includes being shaken, having faith, and utterly surrendering as a servant to His will.
Just like there was "no guest room available" for Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem, is your heart too full of distractions to receive Christ this Christmas? Join Pastor Jim Pendleton as he explores the nativity story from Luke 2 to reveal three powerful MOVES you can make to clear out the clutter and truly make room for Jesus this holiday season.
Do you ever feel like the ritual of Communion has become just a mindless motion? This week, Pastor Scot Longyear invites us to move past mere routine and unlock the profound meaning of the Lord's Supper. Discover how this simple act of bread and cup calls us to look backward with gratitude, look inward with surrender, and look forward with hope.
Don't miss the moment of God's favor! Pastor Scot Longyear walks us through the transformative journey of the Ethiopian eunuch, revealing the five essential steps—from the initial Invitation to the final Joy—that lead to salvation and the new life found in Christ. Discover the power of explanation, the necessity of a timely decision, and the beautiful symbolism of Resurrection in baptism, asking yourself: "What can stand in the way of my being baptized?"
Feeling unsure about what God truly wants from your life? Just like the people in the book of Micah, we often wonder if more religious activity is the answer.
Join Pastor Scot Longyear as he unpacks God's powerful answer to the question, "What does the Lord require of you?" and reveals how embracing the call to "walk humbly with your God"—especially through heartfelt generosity—is the key to unlocking a transformed spiritual life and testing God's incredible blessing.
We live by reciprocal rules: a good deed gets a thank you, and a hurt feels like it demands payback. But what happens when our deepest instinct for "getting even" clashes with the call of our faith?
Join Pastor Scot Longyear as he reveals the radical strength of mercy—the one thing God truly requires—and how choosing it over revenge can rewrite your own story and the lives of those who have wronged you.
Discover the clear, surprising answer God gives through the prophet Micah, which demands more than just religious activity—it requires your heart and a commitment to act justly by defending the vulnerable right where you live. Join us to find clarity on God's will and learn the practical steps to stop wearing yourself out.
From the Tabernacle to the Holy Spirit, God's greatest desire has always been to dwell with His people. Join Campus Pastor Dan Gisel this week as we examine Exodus 40 and discover the kind of obedience and pursuit required to live under the guiding cloud of God's manifest presence today.
"Followers are supposed to be different, but have you ever felt like your life isn't much distinct from your friends who don't follow Jesus? Senior Pastor Scot Longyear delves into the profound question: 'What makes my life different?'
Discover how the abiding presence of God's goodness, His holy Name, and His unending mercy and compassion are the very things that set believers apart, drawing from the powerful encounter between Moses and God in Exodus 33."
Have you ever felt like God is far away, as if your prayers are falling on deaf ears? In this message, Pastor Scot Longyear shares how we can reach out and find God's presence, because as Acts 17:27 reminds us, "He is not far from any one of us." Discover the powerful truths found in creation, sacrifice, honor, and sacred spaces that can help you feel close to God again.
How do we know which way to go when life's path seems uncertain? Campus Pastor, Jim Pendleton, explores the story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and how it exemplifies that we don’t have to know the whole plan if we know the One who leads. Discover how God's wisdom, presence, and guidance can light our way, even when the road ahead is a longer, unexpected journey.
Feel unqualified to do what God is calling you to? You're not alone. Join us as we explore the story of Moses, a man who felt just as unprepared as we do, and discover the four truths that transform "I'm not enough" into "I am sent on a mission."
What do you do when the plans you made for your life fall apart, and you feel stuck in a dry, forgotten place? This week, we'll look at the life of Moses, a man who thought his past failures had disqualified him from God's purpose, and discover that God wants to meet us right where we are. We'll find out how to leave our safe zones and step into the incredible future God has for us.
Pastor Scot explores the gap between how many people own the Bible and how few are truly impacted by it. Drawing from James 1, he provides four steps to allow the Bible to transform one's life.
This sermon asserts that the Bible can be trusted as God's Word, addressing the skepticism many people feel. The speaker provides five reasons to support this claim: historical accuracy, citing examples where archaeology has confirmed biblical accounts; scientific accuracy, noting how the Bible pre-dated modern scientific discoveries; prophetic accuracy, emphasizing the statistical improbability of Jesus fulfilling so many prophecies; thematic accuracy, highlighting the consistent message across different authors and centuries; and personal accuracy, sharing how the Bible's "alive and active" nature changes lives.
