Weekly Message from Pastor Billy!

Hello MCC Family!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at MCC! There are some really exciting things happening this month as we wrap up 2011 and prepare to usher in the new year with thanksgiving and expectation for everything the Lord has planned for this church family!

This past Sunday I began our Christmas series entitled, Home for Christmas. This series is inspired by John 1:4 which states, "The word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." This profound truth is the basis of our Christmas season and I couldn't be more excited to be preaching this message as our stage is set for our Christmas Production Table of the Heart.

You can purchase tickets for this production on Sunday mornings before, after, and in between services at the Connection Center, through our church office which is open Monday through Thursday 9:00 - 5:00, and online at www.indiegogo.com/tableoftheheart .Tickets are $5 presale, and $8 at the door. Shows run December 10th and 11th, and again December 17th and 18th. Saturday shows begin at 8:00 pm and Sunday shows begin at 7:00 pm.

Also, for this holiday season, here are a few important save the dates:

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service: There will be no Sunday morning service Christmas morning, December 25th, but we will be providing a Christmas Morning Devotional and encourage everyone to incorporate welcoming the presence of Immanuel as a part of your Christmas morning time wherever you are. There will be a Candlelight Service, which will wrap up our Home for the Holidays series, on Christmas Eve, December 24th, at 6:00 pm.
New Years Day: we will have our normal 9:00/11:00am services New Years Day, January 1st. Come and lets usher in 2012 together with celebration and worship.
Church Wide Seven Day Fast: I will be calling everyone in our MCC family to our first seven day fast of 2012! This time of prayer and fasting will begin on Monday, January 2nd, and conclude on Sunday, January 8th with a combined English/Spanish worship service at 6:00 pm!

Join us this week and celebrate with us the joy of this Christmas season!

Blessings,

Pastor Billy

Save the Date! Home for Christmas

Pastor Billy will commence his Christmas Series (Home For Christmas) this Sunday, December 4th. This series highlights the profound truth that the Word indeed became flesh and made His dwelling among us and we have the privilege of communicating to our church that Jesus is the same God yesterday, today, and forever and longs to have the same relationship with us today!

Weekly Message from Pastor Billy (10/26/11)

Hello everyone!

This Sunday, we were in Acts 9:32 - 43 and talked about, A Life that Displays God's Goodness! This passage shows us the amazing work that God did in and through three different individuals; Aeneas, Dorcas, and Peter. God wants to display His goodness in our lives when we are broken and dependent like Aeneas, through our compassionate service like Dorcas, and through extraordinary prayers like those of Peter!

You can find a summary of this message on the MCC English page on The City, and you can also find the podcast by clicking on the following link: http://mediacitychurch.com/media.php?pageID=5

Looking forward, October 31st, and our Light the Night event is right around the corner, and its still not too late to be a part of this exciting event! Thanks to all of you who were able to donate candy, we are stalked up and ready to bless as many families as possible! This event is a fantastic opportunity to put into practice everything we have been learning throughout our Lighting the World series! Come out and let God use you by being available and looking for miracle moments as we serve our community and love on people! What a perfect set up for an Acts in Action moment! If you are still interested in serving contact John Candler at john@mediacitychurch.com! We can also always use more candy and more people willing to show up and show the love of Christ to our visiting neighbors!

Also coming up in November is the Foursquare Men's retreat; Renew! The retreat is in Palmdale, Ca. on November 4th -5th. For more information, contact Chris Skaggs at chris@mediacitychurch.com or visit the connection center on Sunday morning!

I can't wait to see you all on Sunday as we continue through Lighting the World; A Journey Through Acts and show the next installment in our Acts in Action video series, featuring our very own Mark Tremper!

Blessings!

I am believing with you for major miracle moments and great breakthroughs in our church, our lives and for those we are praying for this week!

Weekly Message from Pastor Billy! (10/6/11)

Hello Everyone!

Hope you are all having an amazing and blessed week! This last Sunday I shared a message entitled, Anatomy of a Miracle Moment. In this message I gave four keys to being a miracle delivery person:

1. Urgently request God to send you!

2.Ask God to give you His heart for His people!

3. Partner with the Holy Spirit!

4. Risk. Step out in spite of discomfort or fear!

I also gave a few main points on how to understand the make up of a miracle moment:

1. The Nudge

2. The Cue

3. The Bump

4. The Prompt

What God has prepared for you and I and for others is far better than we have dreamed! We don't want to miss out on God's best because we are just looking for something good! I hope that you have all been experiencing miracle moments in your lives this week! You can find a more detailed summary posted on the MCC English page on The City, or you can click on the link below for the Pod Cast.

Hope to see you all there!

Blessings!
