Pastor Jeff Edwards spoke about finding God. If someone says, “God told me this”, what does that mean?  Is it literal, or just a turn of phrase?  Is it their own thoughts spoken in churchy language? Do they really find direction from God?  If I want God’s direction, how does that work anyway?  David gave Solomon a cheat sheet on how to find God in any situation.

Youth Intern Emmanuel Ayele spoke about Solomon being given the opportunity to ask God for anything. He chose wisdom so he would be able to lead God’s people well. This message explores what it looks like to seek God first in a world full of competing priorities and invites us to reflect on what truly has our hearts. Emmanuel used 2 Chronicles 1:1–13 as his scripture.

Associate Pastor Valerie Salkeld spoke about what it means to seek God. "Now seek the LORD your God with all your heart and soul...the Temple built to honour the LORD's Name." (1 Chron 22:19). How do we do this? She wove together some of the common threads between Chronicles' encouragement and what Jesus invites us to do.

Pastor Jeff Edwards spoke about how algorithms, ads, and news are filled with tips on how to live longer.  We have our favorites: diets, exercise, supplements, medicines, therapies, drinking water, breathing! Humans have always been drawn to longevity.  Trekkies say “live long and prosper”.  What does the Chronicler say?  Come, hear a challenge that connects to Prayer and Fasting Week and Prayer Summit. Jeff used 1 Chronicles 10:1-13 as his scripture reference.

We welcomed back guest speaker Mike Swalm who is now the president of Rocky Mountain Bible College. He spoke about how people see God in the beauty of the mountains, in the swell of heavenly music, or in the richness of fellowship.  But what about a genuine intellectual search for God? What would it look like to include our minds in seeking the fullness of God's presence? Mike preached from 2 Chronicles 1:7-10.

Pastor Jeff Edwards introduced our new sermon series, "Seek God". What are your resolutions?  Any resolutions with God? What are the things that really help you connect with God? King Solomon made some big resolutions three thousand years ago and shows us some basics. Let’s start the year off right and “Seek God” the way He has always desired. Jeff used 2 Chronicles 7:11-16 as his scripture reference.

Worship Pastor Dave Chow shared about John crying out from the wilderness, “Prepare the way!” As Advent unfolds, Mark 1:4–8 calls us to repentance that makes space for hope, renewal, and the Spirit-filled life Jesus brings.

Pastor Jeff Edwards ended our series about Authentic Living with a underrated requirement for an authentic Christian life… gratitude.  When Jesus runs into ten men in Luke, He shows us how an inauthentic life takes good things for granted.  Authentic means thankful! Jeff used Luke 17:11-19 as his scripture reference.

We learned that it's our natural human desire to go into hiding when we sin.  But living authentically is living vulnerably.  Ephesians 4 says that when Christ changes us on the inside, it shows up on the outside.  Pastoral Intern Emmanuel Ayele preached for the first time at MCCC!
