Mission City Church w/ Pastor Josh Hershey

The remedy for fear, anxiety, and hopelessness is living a life of worship to our Lord Jesus. When we sing praises and declare the power and the love of God, everything becomes possible.

Romans 4:13. The Seven elements of the spiritual buffet to continually parTAKE in.

At the end of Paul’s last missionary journey he has an extended period of time strengthening the Christian churches in Macedonia and Greece. With him is a group of nine men from all the different churches he had established. Together they would go to Jerusalem to deliver a great financial gift to the Christians there. Men from vastly different backgrounds—different ethnicities, Jews and Gentiles, slave and free, rich and poor. A great picture of the unity Christ brings! In this section we also see Paul’s last great miracle as a free man—a resurrection miracle! A man who fell asleep and fell headlong to death, was revived by the grace of God! Join us as we worship!

Join us for Pentecost Sunday as we continue our journey through Acts! We will be looking at the end of Paul's ministry in Ephesus. A fresh Pentecostal work of the Spirit in that city brought such a radical transformation to the social structure that the kingdom of darkness began to lose its grip! So the devil began to push back! The key for the Christian when this happens is to not get caught up in the devil’s frenzy, but rather trust the Lord to continue to have His way!

oin us as we continue our journey through Acts! We will be looking at Paul’s three years of ministry in the large city of Ephesus. It was a time of daily dedication to teaching God's Word in a Bible School like atmosphere, a time of "unusual miracles", a time of spiritual warfare, and a time when an entire Roman province began to turn to the Lord and demonstrated their allegiance to Jesus through some radical acts of renunciation of their past practices! Many lessons to learn and be encouraged by!

Join us as we continue our journey through Acts! We will be looking at how God desires all of His people to be “strengthened” in His might! A great example of one who was strong in the Lord is Apollos. He was “mighty in the Scriptures” and “fervent in spirit.” He also “taught accurately the things of the Lord” and “helped those who had believed through grace” even being able to “vigorously oppose” those who stood against the Gospel. We too are called to be “strong in the Lord and the power of His might” like Apollos!

Join us for our Midweek Bible Study. We will be digging into 1 Corinthians. In this letter Paul deal with many different problems that confronted Christians in Corinth. What becomes very clear is that the church has never been perfect. We are constantly in need of God's grace and instruction. We will be looking at the theme of unity and offense, the theme of the use of the law, and the theme of the church.

Join us for our Midweek Bible Study! We will be looking at the work of a missionary named Don Richardson. In his book, Eternity in Their Hearts, he relates dozens of examples of God not leaving Himself "without witness" in primitive cultures (Acts 14:17). We will look at the Incas of South America, the Santal of eastern India, the Gedeo people of Ethiopia, the Mbaka of Central Africa, the Karen of Burma, the Chinese writing system, and more! God truly has been at work in every culture preparing them to receive the Gospel of His Son! When missionaries are able to find these contact points with the Gospel great numbers of baptisms and conversions take place!

Join us as we worship and continue our journey through Acts! We will be looking at Paul's time spent in Corinth at the end of his 2nd missionary journey. He spends 18 months there. Why? Because Jesus showed up in a night vision and said, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.” (Acts 18:9-10) Jesus also wants YOU and ME to fearlessly move forward in faith, knowing He is WITH us!

We have been looking at Paul’s ministry in modern day Greece where has has been traveling from city to city preaching the Gospel and establishing churches. Well, after being driven by persecution out of Berea, Paul makes it to the intellectual capital of the ancient world, Athens. While there he is brought before a prominent council of philosophers on Mars Hill. The way Paul shares the Gospel with these men is by finding a “point of contact” with them before launching into Jesus and the resurrection. Some believe, some want to hear more, and others scoff. There are many important lessons we in 21st century American can learn from Paul’s time in this culture that was saturated with idolatry and pagan philosophy. Join us!
