Authority. Who or what has the authority in your life? Something or someone does. Authority is what determines how and why you make decisions and do the things you do. Jesus claimed to have “all authority.” And He does. But does He have authority in your life? Join us as we see “The Authority of Jesus” and learn how to allow His authority to guide our lives, because when we do, that’s when we know the greatest joy in life!

On August 21, 1875, Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church was founded by 37 members, who sat on log benches in a log structure that served as the first church for MPBC.

Sunday will be a day to remember!

Children love playing the game, “Follow the Leader,” by crawling under tables and climbing over and under things to make it difficult to keep up and follow them. However, that is not the case with Jesus. He said, “Follow me.” He didn’t say: “Ask me into your heart.” He didn’t say, “Receive me." "Applaud for me," or even “Like me.” He simply said: “Follow me.” Join us as we look at what it truly means to follow Jesus and live for Him. And we’ll see that doing so will bring the greatest joy that you can know in this life.

So often in our day, where “easy-believism” has begun to reign supreme (where people think they can just “believe in Jesus” and go to heaven), repentance has been cut out of the equation. Jesus didn’t just say, “believe.” He said: “Repent and believe.” Join us as we see what true salvation is and see how “repentance” is the doorway to salvation.

When we’re tempted, does that mean we’ve automatically sinned? The short answer is: No, but the temptation of Jesus by Satan gives us a tutorial on how to overcome temptation by using the Word of God. Join us as we see: “The Temptation of Jesus) and learn that temptation is part of life in this sinful world, but those temptations don’t have to lead us to sin.

The baptism of Jesus is recounted in some form or fashion in all four gospels. For some, it’s a bit confusing. “Why was Jesus baptized?” Many more walk past it too quickly and largely miss its meaning. Join us as we strive to soak up all the glorious significance that "The Baptism of Jesus" holds for our walk with Him.

The continued waiting for the Messiah has been going on for 400 years after the Prophet Malachi last spoke words from God to the Jewish nation. The wait is over, and a man steps on the scene prophesied about by the Prophet Isaiah as one that will be, "Like a voice crying out in the wilderness, preparing the way of the Lord!" Join us as we see who this man is, and should we also be one crying out in our generation as a voice saying, "Prepare the way of the Lord in your life!"

What a triumph! Noah and his family made it through the flood, and all is well! Not so fast! Noah gets drunk, and everything changes for the family! Noah’s sons will now be on different paths. Join us as we see why and how this happened as we study: “Noah’s Trouble.”

God promised Noah that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood, and He put a rainbow in the sky to prove it. The rainbow is a reminder to all generations that God keeps His promises and is a faithful covenant-keeper. Join us as we see: “God’s Promise to Noah,” and are encouraged in our trials and “floods,” because our Lord is faithful!
