Journey Together
"Holiness and Conscience" (Romans 1:16-17)
When God's holiness is fully in view, the conscience has no place to hide. Elder Peter Finch uses the life of Martin Luther as a window into what happens when a person measures himself honestly against what God actually requires: not human standards, not a curve, but the standard of loving God with every part of you, every day. Luther's years of compulsive confession and s...
What do the rulers named Herod in your New Testament have to do with each other? The answer is more connected than most people realize.
In this Beyond the Notes episode, Pastor Russell Howard traces the Herodian dynasty across four generations, beginning with Herod the Great at the birth of Jesus and ending with Herod Agrippa II in the court of Governor Festus during the apostle Paul's imprisonment. He covers the family's role in t...
The King Has Come
"Oh, The Places You'll Go" (Matthew 14:1-12)
In Matthew 14:1-12, two men occupy the same passage but inhabit entirely different worlds. Herod Antipas sits on a throne, driven by lust, cowardice, and a fear that bounces him from one bad decision to the next. John the Baptist sits in a dungeon, yet speaks freely because his faith is anchored in Christ. Pastor Russell Howard traces the contrasting paths of unbelief a...
Mother's Day arrives on the heels of one of the fullest Sundays of the year at McGregor.
Around McGregor hosts Mark, Tamar, and Christian look back on last Sunday, which included 17 baptisms...
What is the right response when you come face to face with the holiness of God?
In this Journey Together Bible study, David Miller teaches from Luke 5:1–11, exploring what R.C. Sproul calls the trauma of holiness. The episode covers three effects that God's holiness produces in us: an awareness of sin, a holy fear, and a change in direction. Using the account of Peter's miraculous catch of fish, David shows how the miracle was neve...
What do you do when you've prayed and prayed and God has not said yes?
In this episode of Beyond the Notes, Pastor Russell Howard picks up where Sunday's sermon left off, working through James 4:2-3 to address what Scripture says about unanswered prayer. He walks through five biblical questions to ask when God hasn't yet said yes: Am I being selfish? Am I using prayer to delay obedience? Has God already closed the door? Am I trusti...
Matthew
"The Power of Unbelief" (Matthew 13:53-58)
In Matthew 13:53-58, Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth, and the people who knew him best are the ones who reject him most completely. Pastor Russell Howard examines what the hometown crowd's response reveals: that unbelief is not a matter of insufficient evidence, but of a heart unwilling to bow. The passage raises the stakes for everyone who has heard about Jesus without e...
What does a full Sunday at McGregor actually look like?
In this Around McGregor episode, hosts Mark Bricker, Tamara Miller, and Christian Miller walk through one of the busiest Sundays of the year, covering 17 baptisms across two services in Fellowship Hall, graduation recognition for all 22 seniors at all three services, and the in-person introduction of prospective Family Minister Mike Hess. They also cover the member meeting fol...
God is often described as loving, gracious, and near. But in Scripture, every person who encountered Him directly fell to the ground in fear.
In this McGregor Podcast teaching, Danny traces that pattern from Moses at the burning bush to John in Revelation, asking why holiness produces awe before comfort. He explores what Scripture means when it calls God holy, why the chasm between humanity and God is one no human effort can close,...
The word "equity" shows up in Psalm 67:4. It also shows up constantly in the social justice conversation. Those two uses do not mean the same thing.
In this Beyond the Notes episode, David Miller works through what Psalm 67:4 actually says about how God governs and why the Hebrew word behind "equity" points to impartiality and righteousness, not equal outcomes. He draws on two key passages, Romans 9 and the parable of talents in Ma...
"Our Missionary God"
(Psalm 67)
David Miller, Pastor of Membership and Missions at McGregor Baptist Church, preaches through Psalm 67, an ancient harvest song that Israel sang while bringing in crops from the land God had given them. But the psalm is about more than the harvest. It is about the reason God blesses his people at all. The requests in verse one, drawn from the priestly blessing of Numbers 6, are made with a clear purpo...
Spring is one of the busiest seasons in the life of McGregor, and this week's episode makes that clear.
In this Around McGregor, hosts Mark, Tamar, and Christian cover an unusually full stretch of upcoming events: the preschool and children's choir spring concert on April ...
Journey Together
"An Introduction to the Holiness of God" (Isaiah 6; Job 42)
What does it actually mean that God is holy? Before the answer can land, some ideas have to go. In this opening Journey Together teaching, Pastor Russell Howard begins a new series on the holiness of God by clearing away three distortions that have found their way into Christian thinking: open theology, which pictures God as a character in process alon...
Sin is attractive precisely because it doesn't show you what it costs.
In this Beyond the Notes teaching, Elder Peter Finch opens Hebrews 3:13 to examine what the Bible means by the "deceitfulness of sin." He traces three specific lies sin tells — that it is a logical conclusion, that it is a reward you deserve, and that it leads to freedom — and sets each of them against what Scripture actually says. Drawing from John 8, Romans 6,...
The Psalms Series
"Worship and Warning" (Psalm 95)
In Psalm 95, Elder Peter Finch draws us into the full picture of biblical worship. The psalm opens with a call to exuberant, communal singing before a God who is supreme Creator and sovereign Redeemer. But it does not stay there. The second half carries a serious warning: do not let your worship be disconnected from a surrendered heart. Using the wilderness failures of Israel at Me...
What does it look like when an entire church family changes at once?
On this week's Around McGregor, Mark Bricker, Tamar Miller, and Christian Miller recap McGregor's first Sunday worshiping in Fellowship Hall as the Renew Phase 2 renovation gets underway. They talk through new parking patterns, tighter seating, and the small moments that made the morning memorable, including one kid who swapped his missing pew Bible and pencil for...
"The Doxology" (Jude 24-25)
In Jude's closing two verses, the tone shifts from correction to praise. After six weeks of warning his audience about the danger of trusting their own wisdom, their own strength, and their own version of faith, Jude ends with a doxology: a wo...
