In today’s 2-Minute Devotion, MC3’s Rae Tyler Caggiula recalls Matthew 4 where Jesus was in the wilderness and Satan tempted him.

Jan. 13, 2021 – In today’s 2-Minute Devotion, Keri Duncan urges us to see this new year as an opportunity to spend time Christ, so that we can know Him and recognize His voice as we navigate life.

Jan. 6, 2020 – 2020 was a tough year, but, MC3 member David McGaughey found many reasons to be optimistic. In today’s 2-Minute Devotion, David encourages everyone to remember the message of Romans 8:28: “… in all things God works for the good of those who love him.”

Jan. 4, 2020 – In today’s edition of “The Morning Joe,” MC3’s Will Tyler is joined by his brother-in-law-, Gerardo Mancilla, for a lively discussion about the ministry of John the Baptist.

John certainly understood his role. He was sent to prepare people to receive Jesus. And when Jesus began ministering, many of the John’s followers left to follow the Christ. John remained undaunted, continuing to preach a message of repentance and pointing people toward Christ.

Will and Gerardo discuss how this message applies to life today—how our focus needs to be on a life of gratitude and service for Christ versus living for ourselves.

Dec. 10, 2020 – Christmas is a magnifier. It can make the good in life seem really good, and the difficult things more challenging.

This year, we all have more than likely faced some challenges and disappointments. From cancelled vacations or limited time with family to job loss or the loss of a loved one, we know this year has been challenging.

But, we also know there is hope and peace beyond those circumstances, which is the true message of Christmas.

As the Christmas season approaches and life seems to get busier than ever, you need to take time to care for and nurture your own soul.

Here are a few things you can prioritize this Christmas season to allow for personal healing and peace of mind in this busy time of year.

1. Open up to someone you trust. Let another carry your burdens and worries, and be in prayer with you.
2. Find time daily to connect with Christ. Spending time every day with God is a non-negotiable. It doesn’t matter how busy you are, find time to connect with God daily through his Word and prayer.
3. Set concrete boundaries on your calendar. Preserve the things like family time, exercise or rest that are important to you.

Also, remind yourself that we serve a God who specializes in the unexpected. He longs to show up in ways that are humanly impossible so that we may realize His might and strength and surrender to him.

If you have any specific prayer needs, please share them with us and we’ll make sure to have members of our 70-Strong Prayer team praying for you each day. (Submit a prayer request)

MC3 Church wishes you a Merry Christmas!
