MCC Sunday Sermons

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.

This sermon argues that the Bible is a living blueprint for life, not an archaic artifact. It explores how the Bible was built over time by many authors inspired by the Holy Spirit, yet still tells a single, unified story centered on Jesus. The sermon also highlights the Bible's global impact and concludes by challenging listeners to not just study the book, but to personally connect with its Author, Jesus, to experience true transformation.

People often believe lies about their identity and worth, leading them to pursue approval and success in things that ultimately leave them empty. Using the story of the prophet Elijah MCC's guest speaker, Chad Lunsford, emphasizes that true identity, purpose, and worth are not found in worldly achievements or the validation of others, but in listening for God's gentle whisper, which reminds us of who we are, what our purpose is, and how deeply we are loved.

Fear can be overcome by engaging in prayer, fasting, movement, and worship. Pastor Scot Longyear reminds us that dedicating "12 minutes a day in the secret place" with God can help reduce fear, drawing on the biblical account of King Jehoshaphat who, when faced with a vast army, chose to seek the Lord.
