PTSD #1: Unrealistic Expectations Pt2
Pastor Wayne is teaching a series tackling a very real condition that affects many believers both regular church attenders and those that are done with organized "church". It is spread from bad teaching of Scriptural doctrine. So many stay home on Sunday mornings because of the Post Traumatic Stress they have experienced in church. We begin at 10:30AM at 6969 Montgomery Rd in Silverton. You may also listen live on-line Attendee PIN 140 7075# https://www.anymeeting.com/861-026-543
The Tacketts will be leading worship at our annual church anniversary celebration. This year it will be September 23rd at 10:30AM followed by a luncheon. The Tacketts are a nationally recognized Gospel Group on the cutting edge of Southern Worship. They will lead us in worship and then share some of their hit singles as we celebrate 18 years as a church family. Everyone is welcome to join us.
As Often As You Gather
At Messiah Community we recognize the healing that happens when a believer places their hope and trust in the communion they have with Christ as demonstrated in the Holy Communion celebration. That is why we have Holy Communion every Sunday. Join us and be healed.
Praise & Worship
Real worship is not something that can be orchestrated. It is the result of believers coming in harmony to praise and lift up the risen Christ for what He has done and who He is. The response of heaven over any congregation that does is a dossing of pure worship. At MCC we strive for the experience of worship.

You Will Never Meet Anyone Like Him
There are certain people you learn about in life that change everything for you
There are people you read about in magazines or maybe biographies that you say to yourself, "Wow! I want to be like that." Then there is that certain someone that their story so impacts your thinking that their story actually causes change within the core of your being. Jesus of Nazareth is one of those kind of stories about a real person in history. He was born of humble beginnings, lost his earthly father early, had brothers and sisters that made fun of him and then made the ultimate sacrifice for people who didn't even care for Him. If His story ended there it would impact anyone reading the long version of it.
But it goes on. After three days He rose from the dead, appears to all of His friends who had abandoned Him in the worst hours of His life, forgives them, then names them in His will as the beneficiary of His vast Kingdom. He then puts them in charge of building the Kingdom after they have been visited by His ambassador and endued with power to act on His behalf. These friends that had left Him, denied Him and lied about knowing Him are granted special places at His table in the Kingdom. They go forward with the authority to do all the works that Jesus did while He was here with Him. And they do! They turn the world upside down as one prominent government official said. Their number one job was to recruit others to believe in the account of their best friend and benefactor.
Great story line right? But it's real and true in every way. Jesus has been alive and living through all those heirs of His Kingdom for 2000+ years. The power and reality of His inheritance has not diminished one bit even after millions have received from Him. My friend, today is the day you too can become an heir to the vast Kingdom of Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Simply believe that He came and died for you personally. Repent (or change your mind) about your life and how you live it. Decide, make a choice, to follow the life and teachings of Jesus. You will find a new life filled with hope ahead of you. It really is that easy.
