MCC Sunday SermonsBored to Life 01 | When God Turns Down the VolumeBored to Life: Finding Space for God
Is your smartphone stealing your ability to hear from God? In this message, Senior Pastor Scot Longyear explores how our constant avoidance of boredom through digital distraction creates a "doom loop" that blocks us from experiencing the Divine. Through the story of Zechariah, we’ll discover how God hides extraordinary encounters within ordinary moments and why the "unclaimed space" of silence is exactly where He does His best work.

2025-12-2323 minMCC Sunday SermonsMake Room 03 | Do You Have Room to Give?We often spend the Christmas season stressing over whether someone is "worth" a gift or struggling to find something for the person who has it all—but what do you give to Jesus, the King who already owns everything?
