Marysville Christian Church Sunday Messages

Have you ever had those random thoughts and wonder, “what’s wrong with me??” So often we don’t understand why we act the way we do. Romans tells us that we “don’t do what we know is right, but I do the things I hate.” One thing we need to realize is that if we’re going to walk with Jesus, God wants us to overcome temptations.

When God looked at the world He had created, He said that it was “good”. But there came a time when God looked at the world and saw that people had changed. Despite that God in all of his mercy did not give up on us! 1 Timothy 2 says, “God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth. There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human, and he gave himself to rescue all of us.”

There is an unseen world all around us, that is just as real as the one you see today.  Jesus even spoke about this “unseen world” in Matthew 25:41. Even though it may be hard to explain or comprehend, that doesn’t mean it’s not real. When you look at life through the eyes of God, you’ll realize there is a spiritual world, and knowing that will change how we live our life.

Nobody wants to live in a constant sense of failure, guilt, or shame. Trying to live up to someone else’s expectations can be exhausting and demoralizing. If I can’t ever be good enough for your approval, why should I even bother trying? That’s why a lot of people leave jobs, relationships or church. It leaves us with one question that can overwhelm us, "Can I be good enough for God??"

Many Christians get so focused on God as Father & Jesus

Questions like “Who created this world?”, “Why was this world created?”, and “Is there hope for this world?”  We explore these questions on part one of our new series, “Looking at Life Through the Eyes of God.”

Can we know God’s will for our life?  The simple answer would be yes.  Unfortunately, God is more interested in

How does pride and prejudice affect the way you live your faith? No, we are not talking about some quaint English Romance novel by Jane Austen. The Bible tells us that what we believe about God affects how we treat others. After all, the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God and then to love your neighbor as yourself. Unfortunately, how we treat others is usually determined by what we believe about them. That’s why our pride and prejudice can get in the way of living our faith.

What does the Holy Spirit actually do for us? Unfortunately, a lot of Christians view the Holy Spirit like a Participation Trophy. Everybody gets one, but does it really mean anything? But when you gotta live your faith, can the Holy Spirit really help or make a difference?

The world so often tries to get us to compromise our Christian convictions and follow it's pattern instead. Where does this lead us? How do we overcome this. Our special guest speaker Chris Clinger explores this as we go into Romans 12.
