It was the clinching argument that won the day in court, but in God's eyes didn't change a thing. It's an argument still being advanced today, and with the same effect.

The Refreshing "Delusion"
There may not be a straight line connection between Richard Dawkins' best seller, "The God Delusion" and the day God was "refreshed," but by connecting the dots we might discover a vital purpose of one of God's greatest gifts to the human race.
01/19/2008
The Three Act Play
Comes the challenge of a young, atheistic-leaning mind, "if God is real, let this sermon series impress me!" Could it be that in a surprising twist God's gift of holy time addresses this deep-seated desire to know the ultimate truth?

Legacy of the Bastard Science
Put the fourth commandment, the pseudo science of astrology and a powerful emperor in a political blender and what to you get? The first Sunday law. But not the last!
02/23/2008
The Invasion
He was dropped behind enemy lines for a work of sabotage. Seven remarkable parallels between Genesis and the Gospel of John describe His work and confront the status quo of a significant component of contemporary worship in Christendom.

A Test Very Simple and Highly Visible
How do you test worship or loyalty? The biblical precedent answers: very simply, highly visibly. So, while the Bible's description of the last battle will come to many as an unsuspecting surprise, the final test associated with it shouldn't.

Offering for November 23, 2024

Michigan Advance Partners

“Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.”(Exodus 40:34) Years ago, members of Metropolitan Church in Plymouth, Michigan, decided to build a “tabernacle” to praise His holy name!

Unfortunate things happen on this side of eternity – sometimes to earthly tabernacles. Regrettably, water dripping from a leaking roof drenched the carpeting in various parts of the church building. This prompted the church to initiate a fundraising campaign for the repairs and updating of the church interior. Simultaneously, an indoor pipe burst, producing serious flooding to the entire interior, which caused the immediate need for major repair of the entire church interior.

Given the serious water damage, the Church Board requested financial assistance from the Michigan Conference MAP Department. It was inspiring to witness firsthand the benefits of the monthly, sacrificial giving to MAP by the members of the Michigan Conference. The church was granted $8,536.50, which was used to defray part of the large expense of roof repair. Michigan Advance Partnership is integral to sustaining our churches in Michigan. True to its name, it does act as a Partner when one of the churches requires assistance. Funds used to assist the churches are generated through generous donations by members of all Michigan churches during a special appeal made every last Sabbath of every month. Therefore, when you contribute – you are MAP.

The Book of Exodus records; “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do, and the people were restrained from bringing more . . . “(Ex. 36:5-7) Thank you for your faithful support of MAP and all of our sister churches.
