Spreading the Word – MCF 2018 Review

Whether hardship or joy we are confident that God is continually in control if we humbly submit to His Will in all circumstances

2018 has passed by so quickly and it is only on reflection that we can see the wonderful way that God is using His Church in such a diverse and dynamic way. The Fellowship at MCF Life Church has not really grown in numbers in 2018 however and significantly there is clear spiritual growth within the MCF family. The variety of ministries that God has given us the privilege to do in the Fellowship is quite remarkable for such a small Fellowship, however, only made possible by the obedience of those commissioned and with the Power of the Holy Spirit.

For some in the Fellowship 2018 has a particularly tough year where a number of our congregation have suffered significant health issues and others have had to deal with those difficult challenges that life seems to continually throw at us. There have also been many moments of joy where God continues to answer prayer and pour out His Spirit in abundance. We have also been blessed with a new life into the Fellowship with the arrival of baby Elijah in early 2018. Whether hardship or joy we are confident that God is continually in control if we humbly submit to His Will in all circumstances; Proverbs 3:5-6 ‘Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight’.

As 2018 draws to a close we thought it would be a real blessing to share some popular blog articles that members of our congregation have posted throughout the year.  We have been publishing a new article each Sunday for just under three and a half years and God has blessed the blog to receive over 330,000 views (nearly 100,000 in 2018) from all over the World. Mark 16:15 ‘He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation’.

The blog articles below are not listed in any order of popularity. If you click on the article title you will be directed to the relevant article. Why not also take the time to listen to some of the fantastic worship songs which you will find at the end of each article. You will also find other Words of God, Teachings and Testimonies in our blog archive at the right-hand side of the main blog page and if you would prefer to listen to our 2018 Online Sermons and Bible Studies then take a look at our MCF Website (link) and go to the message online. Be blessed.

What would Jesus think?
It’s time to stand up for Christ
The Author and Finisher of our lives
God will never let you down
Only God knows who I really am!
Praying from the heart is the key to answering prayer
Why, why, why?
A Transformed Heart Can Change the World
You’re a Good Good Father
The Wrong Question?
Be Still and Know that I am God
Life
What is the price for revival?
Fight the good fight

As a fellowship, we pray that God's Word speaks into the hearts and minds of those who read and receive it and that lives are changed forever as a result. We give all Glory to God and pray that people Make Christ First in their lives. Amen.

Wishing everyone a happy and blessed New Year from everyone at MCF Life Church. Matthew 6:33 ‘But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well’.

  2. God is so good and faithful and blesses those who take the talents He has given them and use them to the Glory of His Name. To the ones who had 5 and 2 talents God doubled what they had and said 'well done good and faithful servant' may we as His church take what He has given us and use it wisely and only for His glory in 2019. May God's blessing and favour be with you.
