Lent Begins... |
Student Ministry We are continuing through the series 'Do Hard Things' each Thursday night at 6pm! Come join us as we worship, teach, and fellowship. Each week, a different student will be sharing a devotion. We will also discuss the material in the book, as well as have a challenging 'expectation' for that week. Don't miss what God may have for you as a STUDENT! See Dan Carroll for more details. Some Ski Trip Pix below... |
Genesis Course Before becoming a member of MCF, we require completion of our 6-session Genesis Course that goes into detail who we are, what we believe, and what we expect as a church body. We have many who have been visiting with us for a while and have not taken this course. We encourage you to make this a priority. The completion of the Genesis Course is required for membership, but completion of the course does not obligate you to join. Please see Pastor Monty or Dan if you are interested. |
Lent: A Season of Repentance, Reflection and Preparation Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 17th. Early Christians began the practice as a way of preparing for Holy Week and Easter. Lent is the 46 days from Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday. However, you don't count the Sunday's during this period because it was considered inappropriate to fast on the Lord's Day, so each Sunday during Lent is considered a "mini-Easter" making Lent 40 days. The 40 days is based on the 40 days of fasting Jesus spent in the wilderness in preparation for His public ministry on earth. Lent is a time for Christ-followers to focus on their spiritual walk. During Lent, Christ-followers practice self-denial, fasting, sacrifice, meditation and the study of God's Word. It is a season of spiritual growth and maturity. As we progress toward Christ we move away from self-reliance and personal achievement. It's why Christ-followers fast, or practice self-denial during Lent. Some give up sweets, or caffeine, while others deny themselves television, movies, Facebook or other computer "play time". As we move closer to God, we recognize that we are totally and completely dependent upon the completed work of Christ through His Passion and resurrection. One of the best Scriptures to mark the Lenten journey is Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. |
DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH WE CONTINUE TO TRAVEL... the Lenten Road to Easter. Since Ash Wednesday in mid February we have been answering the call to self-denial, sacrifice, repentance and reflection. As we prepare for the culmination of Lent with Resurrection Sunday we must take personal stock of where we are with Christ. Through prayer and fasting we must ask ourselves how much closer are we to following Him? His actions? His Word? Are we becoming more like Him? Yes we give up things for Lent to conform to Christ, but we should also add, or pursue others in order to become more like Him. Fred Lyon said, “Lent isn’t so much a matter of what we give up for Jesus, but a matter of discerning how to give ourselves over to Jesus.” What are we doing to pursue righteousness? How are we living to make His kingdom a reality to our culture? Our current teaching series will take us right up to Easter. It’s entitled, “The Lenten Road”. Here’s where we will be traveling in the weeks ahead as we study scriptures from the Common Lectionary. |
