Stand Alone Sermons
Seeing Myself in Peter
May 19, 2019 • Cody Kidd
Cody Kidd opens up about his "courtyard" experiences. We are all probably more like Peter than we want to admit. Let us humble ourselves, learn from Peter, and may that embolden us not shrink from the cross, but to embrace it. Let us not take the easy way out.
Mother's Day
May 12, 2019 • Tara Seegers
Lot's of people came together to pull off a very special Mother's Day service; a morning full of tears, laughter, honesty, praise, and thanksgiving.

Change
May 5, 2019 • Luke McDonald
"Staying still is not an option. Right? That's why Paul doesn't even mention it (see Romans 12:2). You can change in a bad way. You can change in a good way. Change is inevitable." Luke McDonald opens up about his time at MBC, and what it's taught him about change. He hopes that what he's learned from past changes can help both him and the rest of us better handle this current season of change.
A Gracious Response to Sexual Immorality
April 28, 2019 • Curtis Clark
"Too often we talk about "speaking the truth in love." I think we need to think about that a little differently. I think we need to think about loving that person, and loving them some more, and continue loving them, and continue loving them, and then give them some truth. And then love them some more." Curtis Clark talks about sexual immorality, emphasis on pornography and homosexuality, and opens up about his family's personal struggle.

The Bible in 90 Minutes
February 10, 2019 • Dwight Edwards
Ever wonder how the different books of the Bible fit together? Or what God's plan for history and eternity is? With our modern exegetical style sermons and single-book/topical study groups we have grown accustomed to, the Bible can start to feel like that jigsaw puzzle you started and then lost the box for so now you can't use it to cheat, I mean finish. But really, having that picture on the box makes it so much easier to complete, right? Instead, you're just sifting through hundreds of pieces trying to make sense of them. On February 10, 2019, we were fortunate to have Dwight Edwards present the Bible as a whole, in (you guessed it) 90 minutes! This special class will help you retain the whole of the Bible through mental picturing, and touch on how that affects our perspective going forward and living out our faith.
Game Changing Christianity
February 10, 2019 • Dwight Edwards
Guest speaker Dwight Edwards leads off with stating that the first 300 years of Christianity were the greatest years. Somehow—with no printing press, church buildings, seminaries, radio, television, mass mailings, Internet, growth experts, or clergy—these Christ-followers remain unrivaled in the “gospeling” of the world in their day. So how did they do it? And how could they be replicated in our day? This sermon is like a flash version of Dwight's book "Game Changing Christianity" which can be purchased here: http://www.gamechangingchristianity.com
