Upcoming Sermons Series: Clearing Our Vision
“Where there is no vision, the people perish; but happy is he who keeps the teaching.”-Proverbs 29:18
Most of my life I have been very proud of my vision. I could see and read things far away and read the small print on every label. I could pass those eye chart tests with my eyes closed (ok, just one eye closed). But something happened to me … I think they call it “aging”. Suddenly, (it seemed) the words on the page became blurry … what was happening to me? And yes, I was forced to enter a new phase a new “world” … the age of “readers” (placed in strategic areas all over the house, car, office, church, etc.)
If you’re thinking that the title “Clearing Our Vision” is not really about eyesight you are, of course, correct. However, it is about what we see. The leadership at MHCC (Elders and Deacons) have felt God direct us to a clearer vision for our ministry. Our desire is to sharpen the vision for what we see and do … where we place our combined effort. We have felt God led us to this vision: “Loving Jesus. Growing Together. Serving Others.” Our hope is that this statement becomes sort of the “readers” (contacts, glasses, laser surgery, …) that help keep our vision clear.
For the six Sundays after Easter, we will explore this vision in more detail. Both in the Sunday Morning messages and in our 9:25 Class. -Pastor Bill

The Actions of Loving Jesus
Loving Jesus – Growing Together – Serving Others
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”
– I John 3:1a
Who are You?
You are B_____________
Jesus’ Temptation (Matthew 4:1-11, Where we find hope.)
“Tell these stones to become bread.”
“Throw yourself off the temple, and the angels will bear you up.”
“I will give you the kingdoms of the world if you will bow down and worship me.”
“You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” – Mark 1:11
Our identity is received; it cannot be achieved.
You are God’s Workmanship/Handiwork/M______________
Ephesians 2:8-10
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. NLT
Are you a S___________ or a G___________ ?
Matthew 25
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when …?
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,[f] you were doing it to me!’
Is Your Faith A________ or D_________ ?
James 2:14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
17 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
