Beyond Speculation | This week we pick up where we left off in our Deligion series.

Mother’s Day 2012 | This morning, we're taking a break from our current series to focus on how our church ministers to families. Pastor Josh Scott is joined by our Director of Children's Ministry, Adra Skaggs as we discuss how to create an "orange" environment. To have a loving "Red" home life, and a "Yellow" church that shares the light of Christ, creating a balanced "Orange" experience to grow in. | 5/13/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Stones, Planks, and What God is Really Like | In this fifth installment of our "Deligion" series, Josh invites us to think about what the God Jesus reveals is like. This God doesn't condemn, but instead extends much needed grace to us, and in the process, our dignity as well. This is a huge contrast to Deligion, which seeks to dehumanize and condemn. | 5/6/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Gatorade For The Soul | This week, we continue our Deligion series by looking at an encounter Jesus has with a Samaritan woman by a well. As we look at this story, Pastor Josh Scott encourages us to embrace the living water that brings hope and refreshment that Jesus offers. | 5/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Where The Wind Blows | For week 3 of our "Deligion" series, Pastor Josh Scott brings a message of freedom, peace and liberation, as opposed to the religion that many of us have experienced of oppression, conflict and manipulation. So often, religion encourages people to obey laws, fall in line and become like everyone else. But true religion allows the spirit to move like the wind; going where it wills and fills up our lives. It is outside of our control or manipulation. We must ask ourselves, as we search for where God is at work: where is the wind blowing? | 4/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

They Have No More Wine | Who hasn't heard someone say "Religion is so stuffy" or "Religion is just a bunch of rules" before? So in this week of our "Deligion" series, Pastor Josh Scott explains how religion that is spirit filled is so much more than the constraints we try to keep it in. Jesus wants to show us that there is a new life that He offers to us. | 4/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Resurrection Sunday | It's Easter Sunday at MCC and we're beginning a new series called "Deligion" where we discuss how God never intended for religion to be something that was ever hurtful. The church in the general public is viewed as something that is deceptive, hateful and even greedy at times. Jesus dies and rises again to bring a new creation in us, as individuals and the church. He desires to recreate us in the middle of where we are: to be people of hope, love and second chances. | 4/8/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Good Friday | In this Good Friday teaching, pastor Josh Scott challenges us to embrace both parts of the cross: the cross for us, and the cross at work in us. | 4/6/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Palm Sunday | This week is Palm Sunday and Pastor Josh Scott is about to wind down our "Atonement" series. As Jesus enters into Jerusalem, he rides a young donkey, as fulfillment of a prophesy in Zechariah. However, Jesus is also making a statement. By choosing a lowly, poor animal, he indicates that his kingdom is not built on war, power or with oppression, but with peace, sacrifice and humility. | 4/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Our Cross | We're nearing the end of our "Atonement" series this week with a reminder of the fact that Jesus' identity is one of The Messiah, A messiah who confronts evil and sin at the very core of what it is, reminding us that our life is one that begins with death. Not only does Jesus have a cross, but as His followers, we do as well. We must follow Jesus as he travels the road to give up his life, so that we may also die to ourselves. | 3/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

God’s Generous Grace | We only have a few more weeks left in our "Atonement" series, and this week we continue to clarify what Jesus actually did for our sin on the cross. Pastor Josh Scott explains the difference between knowing God's grace, and actually experiencing it, and then living from that peace. We tend to feel entitled when we lose that perspective. Thankfully, the grace offered to us through Jesus' death is unlimited and generous. Our poverty in sin is what allows us to receive this grace that we don't deserve, but need more than anything. | 3/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

God Is Not A Spectator | We continue our "atonement" series this week with a message about our own humanity. Pastor Josh Scott shares with us how because Jesus shares our humanity, he can understand our struggles with temptation. The writer of Hebrews actually says that Jesus empathizes and shares the suffering with us. He not only sees us, or is aware of us, but is a fellow sufferer in our weakness. | 3/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Bigness Of The Cross | The idea of the cross is something that most americans are somewhat familiar with. Most people in our area claim some sort of church, or at least a general affiliation to christianity. Because of this type of "comfort" we often lose the magnitude of what happened on the cross. Pastor Josh Scott reminds us in the second week of our "Atonement" series that what God creates is, according to Genesis "Tov Moad" or very good." Because of our sin, things don't happen in the way that it was intended to happen, and everything in creation is broken. The cross, however, brings this broken world back together, through the work of Christ. | 3/4/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Day of Atonement | The idea of atonement is how peace is made between God and people. It is the bridge; the cost of a separated relationship. Pastor Josh Scott shows us that before Christ, we were dependent on a High Priest making sacrifices for the sins of us all. But God sent his son to be the sacrifice required for the reconciliation that we all need. | 2/26/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Hope From The Ashes – Ash Wednesday | We being this 2012 season of Lent on Ash Wednesday with confession and repentance together as a body of believers. Pastor Josh Scott reminds us that, while Ash Wednesday can feel discouraging and even hopeless, this time is meant for preparation of our hearts. We can have hope that at the end of this season, resurrection is coming. | 2/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Lent: Jesus’ Temptation | While "Lent" is something that MCC takes part in every year, not everyone grew up participating in that part of the church calendar. So this week, Pastor Josh Scott helps bring some perspective to the reason that we choose to fast from things for 40 days, and why we choose to focus on the person that God wants to create in us at the end of the 40 days. Like Jesus, we are tempted to trade God's path for one that we can control and understand. But, like Jesus, we can commit to God's plan for us, the narrow path, the one that leads not to destruction, but to life. | 2/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Raise The Sail | To wrap up our "CLUTCH" series this week, Pastor Josh Scott leads us to action on being the person he explained about last week. While vision and intention are important, they are useless without the action to support them. We must commit to taking the next step towards becoming the Christ-like person we were created to be, through prayer, discipleship, personal bible study and other spiritual disciplines. | 2/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Landing The Plane | "Clutch" means to grasp or sieze something. We know those people, who, in the moment of decision, seem to rise up to the challenge. They make the game winning shot at the last minute. They complete the pass in the endzone in overtime. They seem to do just the right thing, at just the right time. In this series, Pastor Josh Scott show us that being a "CLUTCH" person isn't about luck, or timing. Its about preparation, intention and dedication to becoming the kind of person that makes the right decisions. Following Christ's example of determination, we must "fix our eyes on Jesus" everyday, and be that kind of person everyday, so that in the moment, we are ready to react accordingly. | 2/5/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Bride At Her Best | We're going out with a bang this week, as we wrap up our "Isn't She Beautiful" series! In a clear and straightforward reminder of who God has called us to be as the church, Pastor Josh Scott asks us to consider who we should be reaching out to. Christ came to save all, no matter what "label" any one of us may wear. God is so much bigger than the pretty picture that we like to paint of Him. The Bride can be found at her best when She is loving people in the way that Her groom loves them; compassionately and unconditionally. | 1/29/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Tensions of Married Life | We're in the third week of our "Isn't She Beautiful" series with a message of legalism. Pastor Josh Scott explains how we're neither called to mindless obedience, or blind devotion, but to a calling of holiness. Perfection isn't something that we can attain, but the journey towards that goal is something we must commit to every day. The tension exists in the journey for this unattainable perfection and the grace given for own sinful nature. | 1/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
