MGIG – Week 6 – The Search for God
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
Too often, we accept our religious beliefs from someone else. But to be true followers of Jesus Christ, we can’t accept a “hand me down” religion. We have to know what we believe and why. Yes, Christianity — like any Religion — eventually requires a “leap of faith” — but there is no need to […]
MGIG – Week 5 – It’s Personal
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
It is a very natural thing to look at the people around us to see how we are doing. We are taught at a very young age to compare ourselves — in kindergarten it starts. Sometimes sooner if we had older siblings. It continues into our job. Advertising is based upon it “Do you have […]
MGIG – Week 4 – The Bible and It’s Problems
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
Why do people reject the Bible? Why do so many people — maybe even us if we admit it — want the Bible to be wrong? And what happens when we start taking passages out that we “just don’t get?” BIBLE REFERENCES: Romans 8:1-11; Psalms 23; 2 Peter 1:16-21; Ephesians 6:12-15; Romans 8:5-6; Judges 21:25; […]
MGIG – Week 3 – Can I Trust This? Really?
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
At some point, anyone who is told the Bible is the inerrant word of God asks one question: “Really — I’m supposed to believe that?” So many people are saying there are errors in it. It was written so many years ago. Can a reasonable person honestly look at the Bible and think: “Yep, every […]
My God Is God – Week 2 – God’s Words Matter
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
What’s your opinion of the Bible? Do you “Love” it? Do you find it frustrating? Or Boring? Just how do you honestly feel about the Bible and what preachers keep telling you about it? It’s time for an honest look.
MGIG – Week 1 – Insignificant Things
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
Sometimes we want to do great things so badly that we forget to ask God what it is He actually wants from us. He has done amazing feats throughout history by using some of the most insignificant things we can imagine. When will we learn…? Our God is great so we don’t have to be… […]
Christmas Moments – Week 4 – The Angels
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
The Angels make a dramatic appearance in the Christmas story. Why? And just who are the angels, anyway? There seem to be so many legends, stories, and fables around these heavenly creatures… what is real and what is just fancy story telling? Can we believe in angels? BIBLE REFERENCES: Luke 2:9-11, 13-14; Job 38:4,7; Genesis […]
Christmas Moments – Week 3 – The Manger
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
Jesus was born, wrapped in cloths, and laid in a manger. Everyone knows that. But why? Why not a palace? Why not a Temple? Is there maybe a greater reason for Jesus being born where he was? Did God answer a 490 year old prayer? (Seventy times seven…) BIBLE REFERENCES: Luke 2:6-7; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews […]
Christmas Moments – Week 2 – Emmanuel
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
Emmanuel — God with us. It is at the heart of the Christmas story. We all know that it comes from the Bible — but would it surprise you to know that it was originally said in anger? We think of Emmanuel as a name of little baby Jesus, but it is so much more […]
Christmas Moments – Week 1 – Silent Night
Mark Grice (Lead Pastor)
We start a special Christmas series that delves into some of the detail and background of our cherished Christmas traditions. Where does this stuff come from? Is there symbolism that we have missed for years that can give us a better glimpse of the Birth of Jesus? We start off with a look at the […]
