Announcement: New Church Podcast Now Available

425a8e2e-290b-4630-99d4-ef66908d3ecdWith of our new church website hosted by http://www.Wix.com, comes new tools to help us bring the recordings of our sermons and adult Sunday school lessons to you. See our newly designed Podcast page at www.mcopc.org/podcast.
As of Thursday, October 17, the new podcast has been approved by services most of us use, such as Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and even Spotify. There are even more sites where you can subscribe, and you can select from them at the host site for our new podcast, www.anchor.fm/mcopc.
Currently, we are working on repopulating the feed with past sermons dating all the way back to 2009, so new sermons should be being added daily, in most cases. I will announce when a complete set from a past year has been completed. So far, we have Pastor Troutman’s series on Ruth and Galatians, although some sermons are missing 😢. The series on the book of Matthew will begin being added over the weekend.
After the past sermons are repopulated, we will move on to interspersing the past Sunday school series in chronological order throughout the feed. Be sure to check for “Previous Episode” on your podcast player from time to time to see what past material has been added. We will notify you when each phase is complete, and we hope this assists you in hiding God’s word in your heart, and perhaps enables you to assist friends and family of your own who may have a need. Feel free to share the sermons and lessons that are meaningful to you on your own social media sites.
If you choose not to follow podcasts, the messages are always available on the Podcast page of the church website as mentioned above. If you would prefer to be provided with a CD copy of the sermons and CD’s, please let either our “Web Assistant” Daniel Garlow or myself know, and we will be glad to help you with that.

Discovering God’s Will

Discovering God's Will Cover Crop

Status: Available

Publisher’s Description

How do we discover the will of God for our lives?

Sinclair Ferguson answers this question by showing how God’s will is shaped by his ultimate purposes for us. It is made known to us through his Word. At times discovering God’s will demands careful thought: it may require patience; it always demands a right attitude to God himself.

Discovering God’s Will draws out fundamental principles by which God guides us, applies them to practical situations like vocation and marriage, and underlines many important biblical counsels. It shows that the guidance God gives comes primarily through knowing, loving and obeying him.

The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction

Christian Life Doctrinal Intro CoverStatus: Available

Publisher’s Description

Christian doctrine matters for Christian living. This is one of the most important growth points of the Christian life, writes Sinclair B. Ferguson. From this starting point, The Christian Life expounds such key biblical themes as grace, faith, repentance, new birth and assurance with clarity and contagious enthusiasm. Christian doctrines are life-shaping, explains the author, because they show us the God we worship.

Widely used and appreciated since its first appearance, The Christian Life not only expounds the teaching of Scripture, but outlines its meaning for practical Christian living. It is, as J. I. Packer writes in his preface, theology that is practical, applying Bible teaching with insight and wisdom to the condition of plain people. Christian beginners will get the benefit and the Lord’s older sheep, grown tough and stringy maybe, will find themselves edified and perhaps tenderized too.
