Direction Over Perfection

John 15:15 says, “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.” Do you know God as your friend?

John 15:1-5 Jesus says, "You will recognize them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:16). Fruit doesn’t save, but if we’re saved, there will be fruit. We bear fruit by abiding in Jesus. But what does it practically mean to "abide in him"?

As believers we hold this tension between confidence in the work of Christ on our behalf, and the very real charge to “live worthy of the call we’ve received.” God delights in rewarding us, and how we live this life matters!

The critically important Biblical truth is that everything in our lives is a fruit of his grace. We must not think that we’re SAVED by grace, and NOW we need to prove ourselves or work to get rewarded. Instead, everything (Paul says in Romans 11) is from him, through him, and to him.

Philippians 3

Mark 10:17-22 Would you consider yourself a "Good Christian?" In this message we'll look at a spectrum of where you might place yourself when answering this question.

Living on mission with Jesus isn't a career choice, but a calling every believer has on their life. This message looks at practical steps we can take to live in ways that people can have an encounter with Jesus though us.

For our annual Life Together series, we will look at MAC's vision of being a community of people, consistently connected to Jesus, clear on how God has made us, and commissioned for Kingdom impact. How do we live consistently connected to Jesus? Is it just a matter of reading our Bibles and going to church or is there more?

In this message Bob Reid shares on the four stages of renewal: rescuing, wrenching, restoring, and revealing. Paul calls is to walk in a manner worthy of who we are in Christ, in our calling. God is in the business of our restoration. As we are restored to our perfect, better-than-ever condition, He is glorified.
