More on Missions at MVC

This last weekend we had the joy of "commissioning" one of our very own unto the mission field (Bible translation among the unreached in west Asia).  Lord willing, we will be doing the same again soon with another couple in our body (church planting in Thailand).  This summer will also be a busy season for short-term missions, with our team getting ready to depart for the Czech Republic.  If you have never taken the time to read through our missions philosophy, I wanted to encourage you to take a few minutes to do so.

The Resurrection Challenge

"Why do you seek the living One among the dead?  He is not here, but He has risen!" - Luke 24:5-6

What do MONEY and WEAPONS have in common?

This past weekend we covered Hebrews 13:5-6, where we are called to "make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have…"
 

Who was St. Patrick?

More on the topic of sex...

This weekend we looked at the second half of Hebrews 13:4, and sought to uphold a high view of the wonderful gift that God has given us in marital intimacy.  I wanted to point you to a few resources that will encourage you further in this area.  
 

Speaking to our kids about sex

I love God's Word!  I love that as we teach verse by verse that we come to challenges topics.  I love that these challenging topics are so good for our soul.  This past weekend, Pastor Jason taught on Hebrews 13:4-5 painting a high view of marriage and a high view of His wonderful design of sexuality.  This topic presented a great opportunity to drill down deeper into my two older boys lives (ages 13 and 11) to have some great dialog....thank you Jason!!!

A helpful article on our pursuit of holiness

This last weekend we spoke about how important it is that our pursuit of holiness be driven by the glories of the gospel.  I quoted from an article written by Jerry Bridges.  If you are interested in reading this helpful article called "Gospel-Driven Sanctification," you can access it if you Click Here.

Throwing a Christmas party to reach out to neighbors

Last year our family did something very simple - yet it was very effective.  We threw a neighborhood Christmas party to reach out to those who live close by.  We did not know exactly what to expect.  We have been trying to be more purposeful to get to know our neighbors by hanging out in our front lawn, going for walks, etc.  When Christmas came around, we decided to invite several families over to just enjoy some time together.  We deliverd the invitations just a few days before the party.   (Due to my procrastination).
