McGough's Ministry

In Exodus 32, we hear the story of the Israelites worshipping the golden calf and how this is a call to remind us to live in faith, even amidst perceived abandonment by God.

In Exodus 16 we hear the story of God providing Manna in the wilderness. This is a constant reminder that God is the provider of all we need.  

Stop, look, and Listen before you cross the sea. Today, we continue our journey in Exodus and look at the question: What do you fear? Is your faith greater than your fear?

At the end of Exodus 13 we hear of God's guidance through the Exodus, and how God led the Israelites on a journey "The Long Way Around"

This morning, we look at what it means to, no matter the circumstances, but our faith in the truth that "The Best of All Is... God is With Us". 

In the book of Esther, we hear how God calls us to be ready to stand strong and firm for Him when the moment arises. Are you willing to take 20 seconds of bravery and courage, and when it occurs, TAKE A MOMENT?   

In 1 Kings 18, we hear about how Elijah, though in the middle of a drought, had faith that God was at work in creating a future. This morning we looked at how this story could help us develop a faith for the future and the future church.     . 

As we journey through the story of Elijah and Elisha we are asked the question. Are you living a life that will outlive your life?  

In Matthew 27:50-51 we hear at Christ's crucifixion that the veil was torn. This was the moment when the sharing of the Church shifted from a person to a people, shifting us from consumers to creators and our focus from beyond just local to global.   

In Matthew 9:17, we hear a warning about putting new wine in old wineskins. As we look at the future of the Church, where are we trying to put new wine in the old wineskins? This morning, I challenged how to remain faithful to the mission but be flexible in the methods as we continue to be the Church.
