Read the Bible in 90 Days!

Bible search and concordance link

An estimated 75 million adults (42%) said that reading the Bible is very important to them (the Barna Group) … but less than 50% of Americans can name the first book of the Bible (Gallup).
Among Bible readers, the average amount of time spent reading the Bible is less than 7 minutes a day (the Barna Group).
And yet, the average person spends almost 5 hours a day watching TV (Communications Industry Forecast & Report)

Invest 45 minutes a day reading just 12 pages of the Bible and you will read it from cover to cover in 90 days! Join a small group to give you some accountability and encouragement along the way. Groups will meet on Sunday mornings at 10AM and Wednesday Evenings at 6PM on the campus of MartinBluff Baptist Church. The Journey is set to begin on Wednesday, January 18th, 2006 at 6PM and Sunday, January 22nd at 10AM. Which time works best for you?

Plan to take part in this exciting, challenging and potentially life-changing experience. Each week we will interact with each other as we watch an informative teaching DVD to keep us oriented and motivated throughout the 90 days. The MISSION: to READ, attentively, every word of the Bible in 90 days.

Our Mission:

To turn Seekers of God into Servants of Jesus.

Our Vision:

Our vision is to be a servant church family witnessing to God’s love through Jesus Christ and ministering to the needs of people within and outside the church. We will be a church instructed by the Scripture, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, with effective ministries to all people of every age and culture in Gautier, our surrounding communities, and beyond. We will be a church that takes the risks God expects in order to fulfill His plan for us.

Our Ministry Philosophy:

The Members of MBBC are a fellowship of committed believers. We desire to reach people of all ages with the Good News of Jesus Christ. (The Good News: Jesus loves you! He died for your sins, and desires a relationship with you. You must believe, confess your sins, and ask for forgiveness and you will be saved by His grace.) We desire to provide meaningful worship, fellowship, teaching, modeling, and service opportunities for seekers and believers.

Our philosophy of ministry is derived from the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-39) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) of Jesus Christ.

The Great Commandment:

Matthew 22:37-40 (NLT) [37] Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' [38] This is the first and greatest commandment. [39] A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' [40] All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."

The Great Commission:

Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT) [19] Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. [20] Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Our philosophy of ministry demands a commitment to disciple-making. This consists of evangelizing to the lost (Telling others about Jesus and His forgiveness), recognizing and developing the gifts of the Holy Spirit present in every believer for worship, teaching, preaching, modeling, prayer, missions, compassion, and fellowship. The members of Martin Bluff Church are committed to being a Christian witness in and beyond the Hickory Hills community.

Our Purpose:

We exist to make fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ who . . .

• Express love to God through worship.

• Bring the lost to Him for salvation.

• Join the membership of His church for true community.

• Engage in a process of developing Christ in self and others.

• Serve one another and the community in His name.
