MCC Sunday Sermons

This week, Pastor Scot Longyear continues the 12 and Change series by talking about how spending time alone with Jesus can completely change our lives. He reminds us that in those quiet moments, we discover our true purpose and learn to serve because we’re already forgiven, not to earn forgiveness. It’s an encouraging reminder to step into the purpose God has for each of us.

This sermon is the second week of the 12 and Change series, with Pastor Scot Longyear sharing how just twelve intentional minutes with Jesus each day can transform every part of life. He invites listeners to reflect on receiving, experiencing, and extending grace, especially in the area of generosity. It all points back to how staying close to Christ changes everything.

God's grace, received and experienced personally, empowers us to extend grace to others, even beyond our perceived ability. Understanding and engaging with Jesus' ultimate act of grace—His becoming poor to make us rich—is the foundational key to unlocking a generous spirit.

Ever feel like you're dragging around a heavy bag of shame—full of past mistakes, regrets, and the belief that you’re not enough? You’re not alone. But what if there’s a place where shame loses its grip? In the secret place with Jesus, everything begins to change.

What if 12 minutes a day could change everything?

In this opening message of our new series, we dive into the quiet but powerful practice of meeting with God in the secret place. Through honest stories and Scripture, we take a hard look at shame—the way it weighs us down, the lies it tells, and the surprising place where its power breaks. Whether you’re carrying something heavy or just feeling distant from God, this message is an invitation to come home.

12 Points Campus Pastor, Dan Gisel, encourages believers facing crisis—whether through illness, addiction, loss, or hardship—to trust in God’s providence, engage in earnest prayer, and remember that perfection is not required to witness a miracle. Drawing from Acts 12, it highlights how God's sovereignty, the power of prayer, and the willingness to participate—even with doubt—can bring about miraculous breakthroughs.
