MCF Sermon Podcast

Street corner preachers often carry signs that say, "Turn or Burn". But true repentance is about becoming living signs that point to something much more beautiful

This Podcast is with Pastor Kevin's longtime friend, Joanna (Michelle) Paleno, who shares her story of being a mother and holding on to that dream when things didn't go as planned.  She talks about the lesson she learned about God and about healing a broken heart.

Pastor Kevin kicks off a new series called, Restore, with a sermon on watching and preparation. The way in which we "watch" for Christ has everything to do with living by faith rather than certainty.

Bob Managbanag is Pastor Kevin's longtime friend and spiritual acountability partner.  He is former local church pastor, and currently a spiritual and bereavement counselor for Roze Room Hospice Care. During this interview Bob shares about being hurt in the church and the affect it had on his marriage. Based on his experience as a councelor, Bob also shares the differences between how Christians and non-Christians respond to loved ones being in hospice care.

Pastor Kevin ends the church year cycle with a reminder to rejoice with Thanksgiving always. We also hear thanksgiving reports from various members of our fellowship.

In this podcast, John shares about his divorce and how his healing ocurred outside the church. We hear how Rebecca had to work on her trust for issues that happened before she met John.  They both share how they have together built a realationship centerd around Jesus.

Jesus let his followers know that they should expect trouble and persecution when they stand where he stands.  In a troubled and divided time when people are feeling insecure, vulnerable, and scared, where will you stand?

In this podcast, Alma shares her incredible story.  She describes her experiences in AA after breaking an alcohol addiction of 50 years.  She's celebrating 6 years of sobriety!  During this time she even went back to college and graduated with her degree.  Alma also talks about her love and care for Alzheimer's patients.  She currently leads workshops on dementia for the community.

Saints were simply people who's hearts were open to God's wisdom. They "died before they died."  They found their life and their hope in Christ and not in things they couldn't take with them when they died. They set a great example for us on where to find our life and hope. 

During this podcast, Robin shares her passion for helping people live healthy lives, physically and spiritually.  She's a certified health coach and will be leading a workshop (December) and classes in the New Year at MCF.  Her goal is to give people a better understanding of their relationship with God and the value of their health.
