The Dirt on Secrets
David's sin with Bathsheba led to an a series of lies and secrets. How easily we too can find ourselves buried in our own secrets. Jesus and the cross have set us free from the burden of shame and secrets. "Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit in me."

Gathering on Purpose
Gathering on Purpose MCCh VISION: Acts 2:42-47 42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. We are an Evangelical Anabaptist fellowship in the Goshen Community that: · Believes the WORD and does the WORKS of Jesus · Celebrates in worship · Equips people to pray and minister · Connects people in meaningful relationships through: à Small Groups and Ministry Team · Seeks to relate to all people in a loving, healing, forgiving environment where spiritual growth is expected.

When the Church is the Church
“Because You're mine, I walk the line.†Those words of the familiar Johnny Cash hit could have been penned by the Apostle Paul nearly 2000 years ago. In the letter to the Colossians, Paul motivates us to follow Jesus wherever He takes us. He repeatedly points out the need for us to grasp the significance of our position in Christ and how our walk is transformed by His presence in our lives. In this short letter, Paul refers to Jesus by name more than 50 times. As we work our way through this letter over the next couple months, the significance of this will become evident. Paul’s objective is clear to point the Colossians to Jesus Christ and encourage their walk in Him. The equation that we will find in Colossians is Jesus + nothing = Life. This is not the equation that the world proposes to us, Jesus + our job, our family, our friends, our car, our hobbies, our (you fill in the blank). This isn’t even the question that the church has proposed for much of history, Jesus + works, Jesus + tradition, Jesus + experience, Jesus + ____ (you fill in the blank). With all these obstacles that are placed in our path it is no wonder that we have trouble walking the line. Fortunately for the Colossians and for us, Paul knows that in Christ we can walk the line.

A New Kind of Walk
Everything worth doing is worth doing well. Following Jesus is more than just a change in your mindset but a complete life overhaul. When what’s happened on the inside works itself on the outside we’re talking about a new kind of walk.
