Long-time friend of MBC, Roy Patterson, encourages us with a message of God's powerful ability to rescue and care for us in troubling times. The God who rescued Daniel from the lions' den is the God we serve today, He has not changed. (Daniel 6:7-12)

Jesus Himself modeled for us all, what faithfulness to the calling of preaching looks like. And because of His faithfulness and resurrection power, all who have been called to preach can trust that He supplies all that’s needed to be faithful to the task. Faithful preachers are tethered to the Spirit and true to the scriptures as they seek to advance the Kingdom of Christ. (Luke 4:14-30)

The most fearful, sorrowful, and insecure state to be in is not knowing who you are; not knowing your identity because you don’t know where you are, where you came from or who you belong to. This can happen through spiritual neglect or deception. Satan’s primary strategy for weakening our faith is to attack our identity in Christ. To defeat him we must maintain our intimacy with Christ.  (Luke 4:1-13)

Christ the Son of God obeyed His Father as the Son of man, even to the point of death, so that sons and daughters of men can share in His divine Sonship. Through Him, we also have access to and approval of the Father. (Luke 3:21-38)

Like John the Baptist, believers are called to be transformational voices to our generation. Because of the transforming power of the gospel, Christians have something eternally significant to say that the world desperately needs to hear. You have a voice; it’s a gift from God. How are you using it? How are you developing it? (Luke 3:1-20)

Growing believers increase in wisdom and the favor of God and people by sitting, listening, and asking, by focusing on their relationship with Jesus, by submitting to Him, and by treasuring the works of God in their lives. (Luke 2:39-52)

God’s peace comes to us when the Prince of Peace is held up before our eyes by the Spirit, and in response He’s given His rightful place on the throne of our hearts. (Luke 2:22-38)

God became flesh to dwell among us so that we can taste, treasure, and tell of the riches of His glory and grace. (Luke 2:1-20)

Twice-born believers are regenerated by the Spirit to bear witness to the light of life. We are going to look at what Zechariah, John the Baptist’s father, said about John after Elizabeth gave birth to him. From his prophetic words, we will consider some key factors that enabled John to succeed at what matters most, namely to be a witness to the light of the world. (Luke 1:57-80)

In Mary's anthem, The Magnificat, her reflections on the word of God and the women of God lead her to worship in humility and hope.
