Christmas Eve 2023 | Speaker Brandon Reed | December 24th, 2023

Merry Christmas! WOW! We were so stoked for Christmas Eve with each of you and loved meeting the friends and family you invited. It was such a special day! We're hoping all of your remaining Christmas plans go well, and you find peace and joy! We'll see you next weekend for our New Year's Eve services! -From the whole MVC Family!

Advent Series Week 3 | Speaker Jody Giles | December 17th, 2023

In this season of Advent, we’ve been digging into four titles that Isaiah gave to Jesus. We've rattled them off many times: “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” In fact, the titles are so familiar that their meaning has become diluted to us. Isaiah could rightfully ask us “do you even understand what you are saying?” Especially “Everlasting Father”. Why would Isaiah call Jesus, the son of God, “Everlasting Father”? Today we're studying this question. The answers are fascinating and full of hope!

Advent Series Week 2 | Speaker Ken Baugh | December 10th, 2023

We just LOVE the Christmas Season! The lights, the music, and the traditions. The Advent season of Christmas has such a special way of bringing us together and we are so grateful for how this month is bringing us together as a church family! Last week we kicked off Week 1 of our Advent series and we're so excited that this Sunday, Pastor Ken Baugh will be preaching in our series through Isaiah 9 on Jesus as our “Mighty God.”

Advent Series Week 1| Speaker Brandon Reed | December 3rd, 2023

Hey Church Fam! We can't tell you how excited we are to celebrate Christmas with you! The season of Advent is such a powerful time to pause and anticipate the coming of the most extraordinary gift ever given. Can't wait to share this message with you!

Gratitude | Speaker Marty Mance | November 26th, 2023

Do you ever wonder why scripture encourages us to be grateful and how Jesus modeled the posture of thankfulness, even in the midst of trials? Or why is there a national holiday dedicated to being thankful? It’s because the posture of thankfulness is life-changing and life-giving for ourselves and for the world! It is actually a superpower that everyone who is created in the image of God possesses. Especially those who have chosen the way of Jesus! Today, we are going to unpack this topic some more. We are going to dig into how gratitude is critical to our own mental, physical, & emotional well-being. We’ll see how living gratefully is also what Jesus is calling us to for the world.

Live Generous Series Week 3 | Speaker Brandon Reed | November 19th, 2023

Here's the truth short and sweet: We thank God for you! We are so grateful for you! Today Brandon delivers a shorter message so we can take time to celebrate how God is at work in our church and what we are grateful for!

Live Generous Series Week 2 | Speaker Jody Giles | November 12th, 2023

Is it possible to be generous if you are obeying a command? True generosity is volitional: a choice we make, an exercise of our free will. But obeying a command? That feels like somebody forcing their will upon us, or an obligation. Paul said “it is for freedom that Christ set us free.” Yet, Jesus, and Paul, both provide commands to be generous. And if Christians believe in an all-powerful God that can do anything, including raising people from the dead…and if Jesus could do all sorts of miracles, including making coins appear in the mouth of a fish…then why does Jesus and his apostles not just advise us, but command us, to give ourselves and our money? Those are fair questions! Let's explore them today in this message!

Live Generous Series Week 1 | Speaker Brandon Reed | November 5th, 2023

Whenever we talk about money, it may feel awkward to some. But set your mind at ease - We don’t want anything FROM you… we want something FOR you! What does God have to say about how we can win with money and at the same time, live generous in every aspect of our life? Join us this week as we kick off our brand new series, Live Generous.
