“No man is greater than his prayer life... Failing here, we fail everywhere." (Leonard Ravenhill) There is one thing that Mary demonstrated at the feet of Jesus and that Jesus Himself prioritized in His earthly ministry that the disciples felt they were missing in their prayer life. What was that one thing? Real communion with God. (Luke 11:1-13)

The true spirit of Christmas is a Spirit-filled lifestyle that magnifies the self-giving and souls-satisfying love of Jesus.

With Christ, although sorrow still exists in this world, great joy can coexist. (Luke 2:10-11)

If you were ask to describe or define prayer in a sentence, what would you say? To better understand what prayer is at its core, so that we might experience God’s transforming power more fully, we are going to learn from the master of prayer Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 11:1-4)

Kingdom representatives are recognized by love for God and love for neighbor. Who do we identify with in the parable of the good samaritan? Just as the good samaritan rescued and took care of the beaten and hurt man; Jesus did so for us. (Luke 10:25-37)

Do you ever feel like God is hidden or that God is distant? Although there are things about God that are hidden, the evidence for the existence of God is abundant.

We often try to hide our weaknesses rather than realizing they are sanctifying tools that shape us. Guest speaker and friend of MBC, Stu Taylor, shares a message on the sanctifying work of God through marriage and life's circumstances.

Faithful followers of Jesus obey His commands to go heal, preach the Kingdom of God, be ambassadors, and rejoice in their salvation. (Luke 10:1-20)

Have you ever been annoyed with people's actions or frustrated when things didn’t go your way? But after self-reflection, you came to realize that the main problem wasn’t external, but rather internal - it was your bad attitude. Recognizing when we need an attitude adjustment is not only vital to maintaining a healthy life style, healthy relationships, and accomplishing worthy goals, it’s essential to be fit for service in God’s kingdom. (Luke 9:46-62)
