Marysville Christian Church Sunday Messages

We are living in very confusing and chaotic times. What do we do when people come against us? When they lie and gossip about us? How do we react and stay sane in the midst of that? 

We look at Psalms 139 and like David, we can take comfort in the fact that... 

This is the final session of this series, "The Things That Really Matter - What Made Jesus Mad."  We have learned that Jesus would get mad when insiders get in the way of outsiders, when people value rules over relationships, and when people value religion over grace.  This message talks about when people value guilt over forgiveness.  But what are we supposed to do to deal with guilt, denial, depression, and shame?

It can change your life when someone shows you GRACE. But without grace, your life is over.  In this message, we take a good look at what God Values... Grace more than religion.

In our desire for control, we often sacrifice connection with people.  What does Jesus think we God's people value rules over relationships?

If you want to know what matters to somebody, pay attention to what makes them mad.  Religious people have a tendency to make outsiders feel unwelcomed in the presence of God and it aggravates Jesus and cleared every spiritual path that leads to God.

We continue our story with Jacob to show the reconciliation with his brother Esau and how this leads him to his new name, Israel.  God desires us to heal our broken relationships and He is willing to help.  It takes courage, time, and God's help to make it happen.

It can be tough to realize that we can count on God when every day we're reminded that the world is full of people who will take advantage of us. We go further into the story of Jacob and look at the deception that he faced. God help us, that we don't become so cynical and jaded that we lose our ability and willingness to trust anyone.

In this message, we look at the story of Jacob's search for a wife which brings him to Rachel and Leah in Genesis 29. We find that despite how things seem to be so much more in Rachel's favor that God had big things in store for Leah. Ultimately God uses people that were never good enough!

The effects of 2020 have made it seem like our life is out of control.  But it is important in the midst of that to be mindful of the fact the choices that we make will make our life.  We go into Genesis 27 and see the truth in this with the story of Jacob and Esau.

God Longs for us to trust Him enough to follow Him by faith.  Walking in faith, however, can be tough because we want guarantees in life.  God knows we don't have all of the answers and He's honored when we call on Him to guide us but He's most honored when we are totally committed to following His lead.  We dive into Genesis 24 to a great example of this.
