This is the last sermon to finish out the gospel account of Mark and Alan's last sermon as Interim Pastor here at MCBC. This last message covers the trial before Pilate, the crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, and commission of Jesus. This is the fundamental and foundational message of the gospel and is of UTTER importance in the life of God's Saints and the message of the gospel we give to the world to repent and believe for the forgiveness of sins, the filling of the Spirit, and eternal life everlasting.

March 18 - Mark 15-16

We're switching up our form for these last weeks that Alan is here. Instead of investigating the details of the bark on the trees (investigating verse by verse), we are pulling back to discover the landscape (chapter by chapter) as we read about the last week of Jesus' life from the triumphal entry to the resurrection. This week we heard about Jesus healing the blind Bartimaeus, the triumphal entry, the "Markan sandwich" illustration of the Fig Tree with Jesus cleansing the temple, the discussion about the resurrection with the Sadducees, the greatest commandment, Jesus' rebuke of the scribes, and finished up with the poor widow's giving all she had.

March 4 - Mark 10:46-12

When we think of Pastors leading churches, there are a LOT of things it makes us assume, think, feel, and believe about how the Church is led. Paul teaches us to love, serve, honor, and obey our leaders in the Church. How do we honor those who serve well and what do we do with those who don't? How do we affirm and honor those who shepherd the flock of God well and what do we do with those who don't?

Week 5 - Pastors Part 2

This is the first sermon of two where Alan addresses the reality of our culture today, the state of Christendom, leadership in the church organization, and pastoral leadership in uncharted territory.

Canoeing the Mountains - Week 4 - Pastors Part 1

This week we got to experience communion in a new and fun way, proclaiming the LORD's death, proclaiming the joy and goodness of the gospel through observing communion, having unity together as we enjoyed the bread and juice, and even more so, enjoying the presence of the Holy Spirit as we talked about Him.

Canoeing the Mountains - Week 3 - Communion

This week we discover the background behind our identity as the people, the TEMPLE, of God. The temple used to be a place the people went to, now it's who God's people ARE.

Canoeing the Mountains - Week 2 - The LORD's Temple

We're introduced to our new series Canoeing the Mountain where we take a look at the changing environment of ministry in a Post-Christendom era.

Canoeing the Mountains - Week 1 - Understanding Uncharted Territory

This week Alan shot from the hip and called an audible on the sermon. In our time together this morning, we heard from the scripture about the condemnation of the old vineyard that God planted and it did not yield good fruit, as compared to the true vine, Jesus Christ, and our place within and dwelling within this vine. And because we are connected to the vine, we are walking rivers of living water, the Holy Spirit bubbling up from within us and flowing out to others.

Old Vineyard and New Wine

Christ is our hope individually, He has brought us together to have hope communally in the Family of God, and He has made His Family, the Church, the light to the world, making us a beacon of His great hope to a world in desperate need of hope!

Hope in the Family of Christ

You are a NEW creation, living in the NEWness of life, making NEW changes because of who you ARE in Christ! Live in this newness of life and the freedom Christ has given you!

Newness of Life

In week 2 of our Family of God series, we look at what peace and flourishing - Shalom - looks like in the Family of God now . . . today!

Peace in the Family of God

Our Saviour Jesus Christ is love and it is His Spirit that binds us together as the Family of God. Love must define the Church, the brothers and sisters of Christ. This is the 1st of 4 sermons in this series, "The Family of God."

Family of God - Week 1 - Love

Jesus didn't divert from danger, but went headlong into it as He was passionately driven to Jerusalem to be arrested, mocked, spit on, flogged, crucified, buried, and raised three days later.

Mark 10:32-34 Proclaim the Kingdom of God
