Mill Creek Church

Older Christians have a responsibility to disciple younger Christians in the faith. We must present ourself as a living sacrifice by pursuing and progressing with the word of God to strengthen our walk.

Christ is our external benchmark on how to live holy and we should proudly proclaim this truth. We need the world to know the word of God and recognize it never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

In Romans Paul tells us to love others and live a holy life because our Salvation is nearer than when we first believed. He tells us to get out of our spiritual sleep. He is addressing the apathetic Christian. Are you comfortable to stand before God if He callled you home-- The day is near.

Christ is the standard bearer of love. God loves us with an everlasting love. Therefore we are to imitate Him and love our neighbor as we love ourself.

Evil changes but truth never changes. We must know God's word to combat and remain standing on God's truth. As crazy as our times seem, remember God is in control and He is still on His throne.

All governments are in place by the hand of God. It could be for our punishment or for our blessing. While it doesn't make sense now it causes us to look to Christ. The only peace we have in this chaotic world is the cross of Christ.

We live in a time where persecution from government is on the increase. Christians are to be obedient to the government until it is in direct conflict of our faith. We must respond Biblically and realize there are no easy answers.

A Christian is a transformed person. We aren't perfect but we strive to look more like Christ. By reading the Bible, praying and denying ungodliness we continue to grow and conquer sin.

Christians are to glorify God in all that we do. We are to be loving to our enemies and give a soft answer to turn away their wrath. We are to understand and believe God is a just judge who will repay those who offend us according to His standards.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. We must exhaust our ability to bring about peace. We can petition God to change peoples hearts and motive. This will take time, more than likely it won't be instant.

As members in the church we must keep our eyes collectively on Christ , it is who we are. If a member is honored we rejoice. If a member falls in a bad way we should all support that person. When one suffers we all suffer. We share the joys and burdens of one another.

Christians are to bless and not be angry towards others. We are to love sacrificially and rest in the power that all things are made right by God. Our model and standard of loving perfectly is Jesus Christ.

Christianity is a way of life. We are to be busy ministering to the saints. Diligent in serving the Lord, fervent in Spirit, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation and steadfast in prayer. Taking care of each others needs.

Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Therefore Christians should have a fervency about leading others to Christ. We should be diligent and excited to serve our Lord and Savior.

Christianity is built on love not rights. Love suffers long, is kind, hopes and endures all things. The more we serve others, the more we grow closer to God. Christ is our standard.

The vast amount of our society has a distorted view of love, accepting anything outside of God's word. Without a standard of good and evil there will be a societal breakdown. Every believer has the knowledge of what is right and wrong yet man suppresses the truth of God. As for God , His way is perfect- the word of the Lord is proven. He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

We must consider others before ourselves. We can only do this through abiding in God. In spite of our sin God loves us. We must have godly love that helps us to get along with others. We glorify Him when we love based upon Christ.

Celebrating 25 years of ministry at Mill Creek Church.

Many members make the Church and we are all necessary for it to work as intended. We are to encourage one another by bearing each others burdens. Christians are to be faithful to God sharing Jesus with a lost and hurting world.
