2026-07-16 Real Growthby Pastor Chris Berg Scripture: Mark 8:22-3022 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” 24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” 25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don't even go into the village.” 27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?” 28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” 29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.” 30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him. Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

Romans 6:1-4 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In our summer series, we have been looking at things that matter to God. This week, we will look at a picture (a sign and symbol) of the gospel. God gave the picture of baptism to the church as a means of displaying the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Sinners who have been saved by Christ, identify with him in this public act. It's one of two ordinances commanded by Jesus, taught by the apostles, and practiced by the church for nearly two millennia. Baptism matters to God, so it should matter to us.

2026-07-12 Beware of Leavenby Pastor Chris Berg Scripture Reference: Mark 8:1-218 During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, 2 “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”4 His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.“Seven,” they replied.6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. 7 They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. 8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9 About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 12 He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”“Twelve,” they replied.20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”They answered, “Seven.”21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

2026-07-05 A True Confessionby Pastor Chris Berg Scripture: Mark 7:31-37 31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

2026-06-28 Even Dogs Eat Crumbsby Pastor Chris BergScripture Reference: Mark 7:24-3024 Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice. 25 But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet. 26 Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And He was saying to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered and *said to Him, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs.” 29 And He said to her, “Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.” 30 And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

John 15:1-17 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - We can get busy, we can become duty-driven, and we can grow dull in our walk with God. The schedule can get overcrowded such that we don't have time to pray. Scripture reading can become a discipline of checking the box for our bible-reading plan. Time with the Lord can feel -meh. But we think to ourselves, “Maybe that's just part of life. Maybe that's just how it is.” No, my friends! God wants us to have a deep and abiding relationship with him. He wants our walk with him to be characterized by vitality and fruitfulness. So, this weekend as we examine John 15, may the Lord impress upon our hearts the importance of a thriving relationship with him. Our spiritual relationship matters to God. And if it matters to God, it should matter to us.

Luke 6:27-36 - Speaker: David Pimentel - The first two weeks in our "What Matters to God" series focused on topics aimed a little bit more at our thinking. We need to know that Life Matters and that the Solas Matter. But this week, we take a slight turn towards the heart and hands. This week, we will focus on how Mercy Matters to God. We need mercy spiritually, but God also wants us to extend it relationally and materially. It's not easy, but it sure does look like our Father. May God help us as we hear his Word!

2026-06-14 The Need for Radical Purityby Pastor Chris BergScripture Reference: Mark 7:14-2314 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don't you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn't go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

Shawn, Cullan, and Real Justin talk about the reason why Jesus chose to teach so much in seemingly cryptic stories called parables. 

- Speaker: Lukus Counterman - This weekend in our summer series entitled “What Matters to God,” we will be considering the timeless truths that came to be known as the “Solas.” The word “sola” is Latin for “alone.” So, we will be looking at the biblical-theological affirmations of scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, and the glory of God alone. Though Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy don't avow those truths, they are firmly grounded in God's word and church history. So, may the Lord teach us through the scriptures and strengthen our faith as we look to him.

Genesis 9:1-17 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Politicians sway this way and that. Countries take various positions on fundamental issues. Yet, Christians have a pretty consistent history when it comes to their stance on life. And that's because the Author of Life is the only one who has the right to give it and take it away. We mustn't play God and take life into our own hands. Instead, we need to recognize that from the womb to the tomb we are not our own. We belong body and soul to God. So, may the Lord help us value life like he does. If it matters to God, it should matter to us.
