church of Christ MercedDiscriminationWhen it's convenient, we humans accept anyone and everyone. When it's not, we let hate and discrimination run rampant. The saving power of Jesus Christ doesn't discriminate, so why do we?

Jesus Christ is our ultimate hero, with the superpower of sacrificial love. This is a power we all have and need to exercise to our friends and enemies to reach the peak of our superhero powers.

A love for something is a preference for it, and if we don't take the time to appreciate the preference we have for our calling, we will lose sight of it like Peter. We have to be willing to do anything for it. Do you love Jesus Christ enough to forsake all else and follow Him?

Without proper teaching and guidance, children will grow up to be those losers and cheaters. Just like Jesus ordained the apostles with the vocation of equipping evangelists and teachers to spread the word, we need to stay true to our vocation of being a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

He was the light in the beginning, is the light in us all today, and will be the light of the everlasting day in New Jerusalem. While no one today has seen Jesus Christ, they should be able to see His light shining through us.

The decisions we make in life can add troubles on top of troubles. We have to remove ourselves from these troubles and have the confidence of Simon, Andrew, James, and John to follow Jesus Christ straightaway.

We are virtually invisible to those of the world, like Lazarus in the parable of the rich man. We should glory in all that we are, including our weaknesses, so the Power of Christ may rest upon us. Even though tomorrow is promised to no one, us "nobodys" are promised joy, peace, and the fruits of the spirit.

Sunday Morning Messages from God's WordWho Are the Churches of Christ?Churches of Christ are understood differently by many people. Depending on their experience, or lack thereof, people may have entirely different understandings of churches that use the identifier "Churches of Christ". Despite the variety of views that exist, there are 4 important common features of these churches that should be understood. Tomorrow, we will look at each and see why they are important.2022-08-2841 min
Sunday Morning Messages from God's WordPrayer in the Life of Lake MercedJohn Mulligan’s lesson on Sunday was about “Prayer in the Life of Lake Merced,” specifically about the importance of praying as a church. He pointed out several relevant Bible readings and he noted 5 observations about church prayer:
It’s essential. Several readings in Acts (Acts 1:13-14; 2:42; 12:12) address the need for group prayer and the importance of being devoted to it.
It’s requested. Ephesians 6:18-20 tells us to “...pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests… and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
It’s doable. We must pray boldly to fight the...2022-08-0745 minchurch of Christ MercedWhat, Why, HowWhen we make decisions, no matter how big or small, we can turn to these three questions to evaluate what decision to make: 1) What path should I take? 2) Why should I take that path? 3) How should I get there? The answer to all three is Jesus the Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and if we follow him all our decisions will be righteous.

They were confident in their faith and refused to worship the gold image the king had created. With their confidence, Christ delivered them out of the fiery furnace and saved them from death. We need to exercise this same confidence as we go through our daily Christian walk. For more information about this episode contact us at Ministry@churchofchristmerced.com2022-02-1440 minchurch of Christ MercedPrayerBefore Jesus died for our sins on the cross, people had to go to the elders of the church to make their requests known unto God. Now, through Jesus Christ, we can go directly to God in prayer. When we pray, we should only ask for those things which are spiritual for ourselves, not physical. Our Father already knows what we need physically. We should take every opportunity to pray for others, as prayer is a form of self healing.

Sunday Morning Messages from God's WordSeeing the Crucified and Risen Christ from the BeginningOn Sunday, Josh gave us an atypical lesson, a whirlwind taking us from Genesis through to the crucified and risen Christ. Messages abound through that much scripture but some messages do repeat.
There were times when God did what He said He would do -- IF the people were faithful. But oftentimes, they were not. Like in Isaiah 53:6, “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way”. They did not believe that “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6).
The truth wa...2021-10-1045 minchurch of Christ MercedWhat is the Truth?There is only one truth, and that is the truth spoken of by Jesus Christ to His apostles. While false prophets twist the truth into lies, we can always decipher what is right and wrong with the Holy Spirit that is inside us. Join us this Sunday as we delve into the meaning of the truth and what it means to us.

It is the love that Jesus Christ showed us when He died on the cross for our sins. It's a very rare form if love, one that is almost never shown to a good man of the world, let alone a righteous one. The greatest love of all is the love shown by those who lay down their lives for their friends.

It is also are obligation to bring the light to others who are in darkness. For more information about this Episode contact us at Ministry@churchofchristmerced.com2021-03-0815 min
Sunday Morning Messages from God's WordUntil Christ Is Formed in YouLooking ahead to the New Year, what should we be reflecting upon? Paul’s writings in the Bible often talk about spiritual maturity - something which, because we are imperfect humans, needs to be continuously polished. Our spirits grow as we emulate Jesus’ behaviors and we then live in gratitude for all that God has done for us. Colossians 3:15-17 says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… and be thankful … singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
This year, one goal could be to strive for a more grateful life, to always be aware of how much there i...2020-12-2735 minchurch of Christ MercedThe Rules of EngagementThe engagement we have with Jesus Christ is much like the engagement a man and woman would have.
