Out With the Old – In With the New

Brian Hopkins

August 31, 2025

Paul continues in Colossians 3 encouraging us to put to death all of the old sinful remnants of our former lives, and in their place to "put on" as one would a garment all of the Christ-like characteristics with which our LORD Jesus has endowed us - particularly Christ's love for all people, which binds all these Christ-like characteristics together in Him.

Spiritual Maturity – Part 3

Brian Hopkins

August 24, 2025

Paul begins the third chapter of his letter to the Colossians by reminding them (and us) that those who are "in Christ" - that is, everyone who has proclaimed Jesus as our personal Savior and LORD - have died to our former life of worldliness and sin and are reborn to new life in Christ. Therefore, Paul encourages believers to focus our lives upon Jesus and Heavenly things, forsaking not only our sins, but all the worldly pursuits, pleasures, and entertainments which might distract us from our relationship with Him.

Spiritual Maturity – Part 2

Brian Hopkins

August 10, 2025

In Colossians 2:6, Paul encourages Jesus followers who have received new life in Christ to "walk with Him." We will naturally start out just barely able to walk, but as we persevere in following our LORD Jesus, we will eventually learn to run with endurance the race that He has set before us in service of His Kingdom. Along the way, we will encounter distractions - snares set by our great enemy to distract us from abiding in our Christian walk. In the latter part of Colossians 2, Paul warns us about some of these snares - legalism, asceticism, worship of angels, and the "elemental spirits of this world." Paul encourages us to set such things aside and focus squarely upon the LORD Jesus alone.

Treasure in Earthen Vessels

Randy Koon

August 3, 2025

God directed Jeremiah to go to the potter's house and observe the potter working. God then told Jeremiah that if the potter could remake a flawed pot, so God could remake fallen Israel and indeed all of fallen mankind, if we will but allow Him to rework us with His firm but gentle hand.

Spiritual Maturity – Part 1

Brian Hopkins

July 27, 2025

In chapter 2 of his letter to the Colossians, Paul encourages Christ followers to continue working on their relationship with the Lord Jesus. Certainly, we can rest assured in our salvation through faith in Jesus' Gospel, but our new spiritual life in Him should be much more. Paul also tells us of the benefits of growing in the knowledge of our Lord. Of course, we must continue to learn about God through His Word, but even more so, we must cling as closely to Jesus as possible and allow the Holy Spirit to direct us throughout our days - all while remaining intentionally focused on Jesus as Lord over our entire being.

Childlike Faith

Adam Hopkins

July 20, 2025

When Jesus' disciples asked who is the greatest in His Kingdom, Jesus showed them a little child and proclaimed that if we don't come to Him with childlike faith, we cannot even enter His Kingdom, much less be great in it. We can do nothing to earn our salvation. We must simply believe in Him and His Gospel unreservedly as an innocent child believes.

MFBC September 2025 Sunday Paper

Gospel Oriented

Everything we think, say, or do is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Who we are, how we live, and why we exist is because of His finished work on the cross, in the tomb, and as the risen King. This knowledge is the foundation for our lives. The Gospel is not a compartment of our lives, but the life-giving source from which we daily consume.

Community Centered

God never intended for man to be alone. He understands how much we need each other and intends for us to live life together as a community of believers. We are to share in the messy, painful, and difficult circumstances we face on a day-to-day basis. Also, we are to share the merciful, grace filled, joyful, and peaceful times as well. We desire to be genuine, compassionate, loving, forgiving, and serving people, just like Jesus.

Mission Driven

We are to live each day on mission. From beginning to end, our day is to be lived with God’s Kingdom in mind. In Matthew 28 Jesus said to “Go into ALL the world.” Go into our local community, our state, our nation, and every corner of the world with the life-giving good news that can only be found in a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ!
