New Thru 30: A Community to Live In - 01/31/2010

Posted in Uncategorized by missionwaychurch on January 31st, 2010

God used Moses to deliver his people from slavery in Egypt. The Old Testament is the story of God’s efforts at forming and sustaining a loving relationship with those He had rescued. When we come to the New Testament, we are introduced to a new and expanded understanding of how God wants to relate to His people. John introduces us to this new understanding of community when he writes, “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent,nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” (John 1:12-13). The New Testament word used to describe this new community is “ecklessia” meaning “called out ones” or as most of know, the church. Sunday we continue in the series New Thru 30 by discovering what the NT teaches about this “new community” and what it means to live in it.

Join us next week as we continue exploring the NT: Feb. 7 - “All Things New” (Revelation 21:1-4)

New Thru 30: A Covenant of Grace - 01/24/2010

Posted in Uncategorized by missionwaychurch on January 24th, 2010

This week we have been reading some of the personal letters Paul wrote to the churches that he started. These were letters of encouragement written for the purpose of teaching new disciples how to live as followers of Jesus. A recurring theme in these letters is how a person becomes “righteous”. Does righteousness (a right standing before God) come from keeping the “Law” (an external set of rules) or does is come in another way? In Romans 2:21-22, Paul writes words that would have been liberating to his readers: “But now a righteousness, apart from the law, has been made known… This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and now are justified freely by His grace”. Join us Sunday as we learn how the wonderful gift of God’s amazing grace sets us free!

Join us in the weeks ahead as we continue exploring the New Testament: Jan. 31 - “A Community to Live In” (John 1:12-13) Feb. 7 - “All Things New” (Revelation 21:1-4)




New Thru 30: A Power to Live On - 01/17/2010

Posted in Uncategorized by missionwaychurch on January 17th, 2010

In our reading this week, we find Jesus giving extreme instructions to His disciples and to a newly formed church about the way they are to live and the ministry they are to accomplish. These instructions are so radical that they could not achieve them without outside help. Here is the exciting news: Jesus did not leave us helpless! He gave us a “GIFT” that would make it possible to accomplish all the commands He gave. In Acts 1:4 we find these words: While Jesus was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the GIFT my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Join us Sunday as we discover how this “GIFT” impacts our lives individually and how it is affecting the work of MissionWay.

Join us in the weeks ahead as we continue exploring the New Testament: Jan. 24 - “A Covenant of Grace” (Romans 5:1-2) Jan. 31 - “A Community to Live In” (John 1:12-13) Feb. 7 - “All Things New” (Revelation 21:1-4)

 ”Who Is Jesus?”

 
It’s something we SHOULD do. It’s something we WANT to do. It’s something we NEED to do. And the best part is … we’re doing it together.   Every year thousands of people promise themselves they’re going to do it this year. They’re going to read through the Bible. Or they’re going to read a little bit every day. Or they’re just going to start fresh and do better this year. Most people don’t make it. Not even through the first month.But this year is different. We’re going to start with something we can all handle. It’s the New Year, and we’re reading the New Testament. And we’re doing it in 30 days. It’s called “New Thru 30″, a sermon series you have the opportunity to participate in with others at MissionWay. This Sunday you will receive a reading plan to guide you through your 30-day journey and hear the first sermon of the series, how the NT answers the question “Who is Jesus?” Join us in this important opportunity to grow together spiritually as a church.Click here to view and download the 30-day reading plan.   Join us in the weeks ahead as we explore the New Testament: Jan. 17 - “A Power to Live On” (Luke 24:48-50) Jan. 24 - “A Covenant of Grace” (Romans 5:1-2) Jan. 31 - “A Community to Live In” (John 1:12-13) Feb. 7 - “All Things New” (Revelation 21:1-4)

Today….It’s Different (Mark Albert)

Posted in Uncategorized by missionwaychurch on November 29th, 2009

We all have our belief systems. We believe God is like this and He works like that. But what happens when you get that phone call at 2 a.m. that challenges everything you believed about God? Or you finish having a conversation with someone you never thought you would have?  You are listening to a voicemail asking you to come in and discuss your biopsy results. Your spouse is in love with someone else. All of a sudden your life as you know it will never be the same again. You feel like you’re left trying to figure out where is God in all this, or can He even be trusted? Join us Sunday as we hear a message from Mark Albert about how we can respond to God when faced with some of life’s most difficult challenges.

INVEST - Investing My Heart

Posted in Uncategorized by missionwaychurch on November 22nd, 2009

516.jpg

The reason many us have a hard time making spiritual investments is that our hearts are prone to selfishness. In reality, it is not an investment issue but a heart issue. Luke 12:34 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” In other words, what we treasure exposes our hearts. It speaks loudly and clearly about whether we are selfish or gracious, worldly or spiritual, foolish or wise. We reveal our hearts by the things we treasure. When our hearts treasure Jesus, we respond in love and generosity to the needs around us. Join us Sunday as we consider how we can share the love of Christ by investing our hearts.

INVEST - Investing My Money

Posted in Uncategorized by missionwaychurch on November 15th, 2009

When most of us think about investing money, we think about CD’s, 401k’s, stocks, bonds, money market funds, interest rates, and the stock market. In the final analysis, it is all about a return on the dollar, how much money our money can make. This Sunday we will consider another form of investing. This form of investment is not based in risk or speculation or on how we can expand our net worth. It is an investment based in obedience and confidence, focused on expanding the Kingdom of God. Join us Sunday as we discover the principles of investing our money God’s way. The only “safe” and “secure” investment.

Join us next week (Nov. 22) for “Investing Your Heart.”
