We grow best as we go into all the world

Complete Christian Character is a series of messages investigating Jesus’ prolific Sermon on the Mount.  Matthew 5-7

Complete Christian Character is designed to assist us in bringing Jesus’ primary teaching, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect,” into daily living.  Matthew 5:48..”

The type of perfection to which Jesus refers includes having complete Christian character.

Complete Christian character is anchored and best reflected in being “poor in spirit.”  Mt. 5:3

The essence of being poor in spirit is total surrender; the yielding of everything to God.

MCA Church’s ministry strategy is W.I.N.S.

W             Win to Christ

I                Involve in relationship

N              Nurture in growth and development

S               Send into service

Our slogan for the Gray’s Matrix is, “I’m moving up and over, by faith.”

Truly, moving up and over requires moving up and out.  Mark 16:15

The pilgrimage to Complete Christian Character is a road trip.

Christian growth and development are nurtured best in me when I dance with an:

  • Upward experience with God          Isaiah 6:3
  • Inward experience with my self      Isaiah 6:5
  • Outward experience with others    Isaiah 6:8

 

Notice, in verse 9, the grand finale of the Isaiah 6:1-8 experience, “He said, “Go and tell this people.””
