This Week at MCC

The church has not always existed. I'm not talking about MCC (50 people met in May of 1954 to start MCC). I'm talking about THE church. If you go back to the beginning of the Bible in Genesis, the church is not there. But in all fairness, nothing else is either, except God.

The church is nowhere in the Old Testament.
The church is nowhere in the Gospels.
It isn't until Jesus has gone back to heaven that the church is now here (Acts 2). Then God UNLEASHED it on the world and the church turned the world upside down (Acts 17:6 KJV).

We are beginning 2012 looking at how God did and does turn the world upside down through the church. We are settling into the book of Acts, the story of the beginning of the church, to see how God will turn our world upside down through us.

Just a few years ago, the Journal of Science put out a study where they took 46 volunteers. They gave some of them $20 bills, some of them $50 bills. They divided them into 2 groups, one of which they asked to spend the money on themselves, one of which they asked them to spend the money on other people.

Overwhelmingly, the self-reported happiness factor when they got done was much higher in the category that had spent money on other people. That study reinforces what we'll see this week that when God UNLEASHES the church, He unleashes lavishness.

You can practice your generosity this Sunday by bringing a friend with you and arriving early enough to get them a doughnut and cup of coffee.

See you Sunday,

Mike
