Generosity: Choices that have an eternal consequence – by Pastor Jeff
Too many times when it comes to the subject of money, we pick up Money magazine or the Wall Street Journal thinking only of the latest tips to get rich or the value of our 401K. When it comes to sharing our stuff for those in need, we often question their choices about how...
Where do I begin with the DiscipleMap?
Have you ever wondered where to begin with the DiscipleMap? Do have a desire to serve but don’t know what are the opportunities? The Introduction to Discipleship and Service class is beginning this Sunday at the McCoy campus. This 3 week class will answer not only where to start your growth journey but also how...
Ministry Leadership in Action Class
Service, Sacrifice, Selflessness. Three areas Jesus modeled and are characteristic of disciple-leaders. Starting this Sunday at 8:45 am in the McCoy commons area, a new class in Biblical Leadership begins. Don’t miss this opportunity to understand the call of a leader and how to truly love others and gain followers in your ministry team. Coffee...
Our duty to help the hurting…
We might want church to be a place where everyone is happy and nothing bad ever happens to anybody. But the only place that pulls that off consistently is Disney World! When we leave Fantasy Land and come to the real world, people have problems. We all do. And God calls us to follow Jesus...
The Laws of Unseized Time
I have been reading Gordon MacDonald’s classic on Christian Living: Ordering Your Private World. It is the kind of book that I like to revisit regularly (every couple of years or so), and it never fails… God gives me a personal tune-up when I read it. I was struck with the wisdom of what MacDonald...
Discipleship… big concepts in smaller portions.
2011 finds us offering some new types of Discipleship classes at Mill Creek. We want to offer some key discipleship concepts in a format that many of you may find more appealing than the weekday and evening classes we normally offer. We are going to offer some Sunday classes that last for 4 or 5...
Caring… Serving… Leading…
Disciples don’t just follow Jesus… they are to become like Jesus in what they do. Jesus told His disciples that He came among them “as one who serves”. Christians aren’t to soak in doctrine and information. We are to care and serve, lead and love like Jesus did. We have some upcoming Discipleship Institute events...
Know your Bible, know your God.
One of the core commitments to ministry at Mill Creek is the teaching of the scriptures. We practice a strong commitment to exposition in our teaching ministry. In short, that means we go verse by verse, sometimes word by word, through the text of scripture to understand what it says. Why? Because we believe it...
Personal Spiritual Growth: where you might want to start…
The life of following Jesus is always a challenge and always has been. Jesus Himself taught that He came to bring kingdoms into conflict. God was doing His work, but it was not going to be easy. The world might work against us as we seek to live holy lives, but Jesus has overcome the...
New Year Discipleship Opportunities: Now is the time!
After the celebration and hectic pace of the holidays, we often get down to the business of those pesky New Year’s resolutions. Fun, aren’t they? Could I suggest that one of the best resolutions you could benefit from would be a spiritual one? How about something like, “this year I am going to make an...
