Beginning January 8th...a very important series of messages for Mooresville Church of God and our future...

We are asking all of those who consider themselves a part of the MCOG congregation to be in attendance on January 8th and throughout this series.

The call of Jesus is clear...the question, as always, for all of us is...will we hear and follow?

To do anything else is to deny Jesus, His call, His commands and His teaching. 

His Way is RADICAL.  This isn't just a cool way to think about it.  When you break down His teaching and His call to His Church, it is most definitely a RADICAL way to live!

Please be in prayer for Pastor John as he prepares this series of messages.  Be in prayer for our congregation that they would have ears to hear and then be not just hearers, but doers of God's Word.  Be in prayer for our community, that the resulting mission and vision that God gives will begin to change lives throughout Mooresville and the greater Indianapolis area!

Advent Conspiracy!

Here are four words that could change your life:


Worship - Rebel - Give - Recieve

BOOM! Your life just changed didn't it!?!?   :-)

If your life didn't change on the spot, that's ok. Because if you investigate, embrace and live those four words...eventually...your life will dramatically change.

There's a conspiracy among us! And if we join, it just might change the world!

Forgotten Virtues

Today's culture has some good and exciting elements to it. It moves, changes and morphs almost daily!


But with all good things, there are some unfortunate repercussions that can happen. Sometimes, important ideas, values, morals and virtues get lost in the hustle and bustle of all the busyness, ingenuity and technology of modern life.

We want to push the PAUSE button for a moment and remember...

...remember some virtues that sometimes get lost
...remember some virtues that are necessary and important
...remember some virtues that are close to God's heart
...remember some virtues that may have been forgotten

Join us over the next 3 weeks as we look at some foundational virtues that God holds up as important for us:

- Loyalty
- Compassion
- Gratitude

Each Sunday morning at 10:30 am at Mooresville Church of God!

THE GRIDIRON

New Teaching Series

Sunday, Sept. 4
Sunday, Sept. 11
Sunday, Sept. 18

 

We all have battles to fight in this life.  The three primary battlegrounds we fight on are:

- The World - People, Attitudes & Influences

- The Flesh - Our own sin, temptation and weakness
- The Devil - Our adversary, tempter and accuser

We must recognize that if we are to win these battles that we NEED EACH OTHER!  We must battle together as one unit...one team...one body!

Just as all successful football teams know, there are some keys to winning battles against tough and determined opponents.  Three of the most important are:

- Communication
- Practice
- Equipment

We will be looking at these three keys to winning the battles in our lives! 

We hope you will join us for this important and needed teaching series!

We plan to have a little fun along the way too!  So join us each week and find out how we're going to build some team chemistry by having a little fun together!

DAD FEST 2011

Summer Sermon Series!

Parables & Prophets

Beginning

Sunday, June 26

Mooresville

Church of God

Throughout the summer we will be looking at two key ways that God has spoken through His Word:

-   The Parables of Jesus

-   The Old Testament Prophets

Jesus was the Master of communicating through stories.  He was the most culturally relevant teacher in Christian history!  We will examine a few of these stories, the lesson He was teaching through them and what He calls us to learn from them today.

We will also be looking at the Old Testament prophets that God used to speak powerful messages, lessons, warnings, and promises to His people and to the world!

Partner Church Pulpit Sharing!

We are excited to announce that we will be sharing pulpits with a few of our partner churches this summer!  We currently partner with Grace Church, 1st Baptist and LifePointe Nazarene.  Below are the currently scheduled dates:

July 3:    

Pastor Jim Taylor (Grace)  will be at Mooresville Church of God

Pastor Randall Garing (LifePointe) will be at Grace Church

Pastor John Crump (MCOG) will be at LifePointe Nazarene

Aug. 28:

Pastor Jim Taylor (Grace) will be at LifePointe Nazarene

Pastor Randall Garing (LifePointe) will be at Mooresville Church of God

Pastor John Crump (MCOG) will be at Grace Church

We hope you will be a part of what God is doing at Mooresville Church of God this summer!

God is at work! Join us this summer!

As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain.  For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you."  I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.

2 Corinthians 6:1-2

The pastoral staff of Mooresville Church of God believes that God is moving and preparing us for increased mission accomplishment and effectiveness!  We invite all who read this to be a part of it!

God is always at work in His people and His Church.  However, there are seasons when He chooses to work more obviously, even more visibly through His people to accomplish His purposes in the world.  We are praying, wondering and suspecting that God is doing this right now in and through the Mooresville Church of God congregation!

When these seasons come it is crucial that a critical mass of people in that congregation devote themselves to prayer, God's Word, serving those who are in need, and serving each other in ways that will require signifcant sacrifice, time, money and effort!  Because God is moving among us now, it is critical that we not let a "summer swoon" happen in our lives or in our church!

We recognize that summer is a time for vacations, relaxation, etc.  We all plan to spend time with our families on vacation too.  However, summer should NEVER be a time when our focus and attention should be reduced or taken off of our God and His mission in the world!  And all the more when there is a renewed sense of God at work, doing something new among us!  The pastoral staff, team leaders and key leaders of Mooresville Church of God are praying that God is preparing us, our community and our world for nothing short of REVIVAL!

Please join us not only this summer, but in the coming months as God accomplishes His purpose through us!

In His Grip,

Pastor John

New Sermon Series Beginning This Sunday, May 15

The Jesus I

Never Knew

Jesus is one of the most controversial, misunderstood and catalytic figures in all of human history.  People who are not "Christians" often don't know what to make of this man who claimed to be the Son of God.  Even people who call themselves Christian have questions, even doubts about a man who lived over 2000 years ago, but who obviously changed the world forever.

Based on the best-selling book by Phillip Yancey, this series will help you know:

Who He Was

Why He Came

What He Left Behind

Will He Really Return?

We invite you to join us beginning this Sunday, May 15th at 10:30 am.  Whether you know Jesus or not, we invite you to get to know Jesus in a way you may never have before.  We hope you will get to know, "The Jesus I Never Knew".

EASTER SUNDAY CELEBRATION!

EASTER SUNDAY CELEBRATION

This Sunday, April 24, 2011 - 10:30 AM

Mooresville Christian Academy

4271 E. St. Rd. 144

Mooresville, In.

We invite you to join us for our Easter Celebration!  This year we will be holding our Easter service at the Mooresville Christian Academy (see the address above).  We will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus by celebrating with 5 persons who will be baptized during our Easter Sunday service!  we hope to see you!

TOOLS: Living Out the Spiritual Practices of Jesus

Tools in and of themselves are nothing special.  They might look interesting, but by themselves they are just wood and metal in odd shapes and sizes.

But tools in the hand of a carpenter are another thing altogether.  They are powerful, effective, useful and have great purpose!

Throughout the upcoming season of Lent we will look at the TOOLS that God often uses to shape us, make us, even discipline us to look more and more like His Son...Jesus.

What are these tools?  Within church culture we call them "Spiritual Disciplines".  We could easily call them "Habits" or "Practices" too.  However, these habits and practices, when they are used by God...can literally change us from the person we were...to the person God created us to be!

Beginning Sunday, March 13 at 10:30 am we invite you to come and let God work on you...shape you...use His TOOLS to transform you into someone who bears a strong resemblence to Jesus...
