MCC Noble Park is making and sending Disciples for Global Kingdom Domination
Mat 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Winning the lost to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is only half the job of the New Testament Church… The other half is making those converts into genuine Biblical Disciples of Jesus Christ.
The Greek word for ‘teach’ in Matt 28:19 means to become a pupil or to disciple. We all know that becoming a pupil or disciple to someone, would involve a lot more than merely hearing a nice 30 minute sermon each week, singing a bit of Christian karaoke and throwing a few dollars in the offering bag.
Biblical and Historical Discipleship is 80% practical and 20% knowledge. It is a hands on, in depth, life exposed, apprentice type relationship requiring honesty, accountability and submission. The results are a disciple that has learnt the practical application of the teachings of the Rabbi, and can therefore go and demonstrate, teach and make their own disciples.
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
Christians were never meant to be born again and then sit as babies, dependant on their ministers and baring little fruit for the next 20-30 years. Christians were meant to be born again and then discipled to become the world changing, Gospel delivering, devil destroying, disciple making people we saw Jesus first 11 disciples become.
MCC practices Biblical Discipleship, that sees believers grow from weak, immature newborns, to well studied, well practiced, skillful warriors of the Word who love the Holy Ghost.
Heb 5:13-14 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Every year Miracle Christian Center Churches see many people professing to be Christians walk through their doors. The majority know little to nothing about the Bible, sound doctrines, what a Christian is, and bear little to no fruit whatsoever in their own life. A large portion of these people actually reveal themselves to be enemies to God's Word and His Kingdom work on earth, and desperately need to be born again.
Yet along with this sad news there is also good news, many turn to Christ wholeheartedly, and begin living out their Christianity honestly according to the Bible. We have been given prophetic words time and time again from the Lord telling us there are many sincere Christians who are just "hanging on" to their faith. Many have lost their way and aren't doing much for the Lord, others are constantly defeated falling into sin continually, not knowing what to do or how to escape.
Many of these Christians after joining an MCC Church have told us they feel as though they have been "born again" again, and others are angered at why such a simple Gospel isn't being followed by more Ministers and Churches.
So if you're one of the ones the Lord has told us about, come pay us a visit, come see if we do indeed preach, teach and live the uncompromised Gospel. We are now in 5 locations and God willing, we will be in many more in the not too distant future. Or maybe you are geographically not able to pay us a visit, no worries, email us for how you can begin your discipleship right where you are.
MCC has a "distance discipleship program" that will set your life on fire for Jesus Christ. If in just 3 months of sincerely being discipled according to the Bible's pattern you aren't stronger in Christ, more knowledged about the Bible, manifesting more of the anointing of the Holy Ghost, hearing from God and bearing more fruit we will eat our words, because we are convinced that if anyone does the simple Gospel, their Christian life will explode with the fruit of it. So don't just "hang on" hoping one day things will suddenly change, email us and begin your discipleship right now! You'll never regret becoming a whole hearted follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus is waiting for your commitment today!

Glen Travica: “Biblical discipleship over the past couple of years has kept me accountable and 'in the light' through times when it may have been tempting not to be. It has helped me to grow into the call of God on my life through being taught the Word of God firstly, but then secondly being held accountable to be a doer of it. It is a wonderful thing to have someone you know is going to hold you to the very thing that you want to do, and I want to be an effective disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ the rest of my life. I do not want to backslide, and I do not want to be fruitless. Discipleship has established me in my relationship with God through a lot of encouragement, a lot of prophetic insight (along with all the other gifts of the Spirit), accountability to spend time daily in the Word and in prayer, and practical wisdom in absolutely every area of my everyday life. I am on fire for Jesus, full of the Word, focused on winning the lost to Christ and looking for opportunities to head butt the devil every day because of Biblical discipleship, and I praise God for that!”
Maxine Prosper: “I was born again in 1994 and after a very short run I returned to a life of alcohol, drugs and depression. In 1999 I repented and began a new walk with Jesus. Since then I've attended many churches that have taught me the Word. But due to a lack of personalized, biblical discipleship, many flaws in my walk with God remained unnoticed and unchanged. As a result of these gaps in my relationship with God, in about 2003 I backslid again as secret sin developed, and in 2005 I left the church and returned to a life of fornication, drunkenness and disobedience to God. In 2007 I repented again and this time God led me to a church that practices biblical discipleship. Through the anointed, personalised insight of my discipler, previously unrevealed flaws my character have been addressed and sin has had no place to hide. Thanks to these key areas changing and my volunteered accountability, I now enjoy a genuine relationship with God with little to no chance of backsliding again. I read and pray daily, I regularly witness on the streets and see healings and salvations, and am held accountable in areas of alcohol, lust and other sin. I believe, without proper biblical discipleship, I would be destined to repeat the same patterns of backsliding and repentance till Jesus' return, I owe the solidity of my current walk to the biblical practice of discipleship.”
Fiona Hockley: “I have been in church all my life and I am now 23, but it has only been in the last two years that I have been discipled according to the Bible. For most of my life before this, I had a form of Christianity; I gave my heart to Jesus when I was in primary school, I knew the stories, I sung the songs and I had some understanding of the Gospel, but Jesus wasn't my whole life. And hence, there was a whole bunch of issues and problems that I seemed to keep going through and falling into. I had so many mindsets and deeply rooted bad habits through my life and mind that I thought I would never get past. They were just part of who I am, I thought. And it wasn’t until I made the choice to give all my life over to Jesus and submit to the Bible and Biblical discipleship, that things started to change. I can’t say how glad I am that Jesus came up with this idea! I am so happy to finally have some discipline in my life; not to mention accountability, instruction, encouragement to grow etc. Christians are supposed to be disciples according to the Bible, and without discipleship, it’s like being an athlete without a coach. Over these last two years, I have grown more than in all the years before that. There are so many things that I never thought I would do or get over but Jesus has shown me that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM. All I need to do is actually obey His word”
Michelle Mahon: “For me discipleship has been everything in my walk with God. From staying out of sin to turning my back on the selfish lifestyle I lived before coming to Miracle Christian Centre. I’ve learnt to obey the Bible and be accountable in areas I lack consistency. Having someone full of the Holy Ghost to communicate my issues with, pray for me and guide me in Christ makes me so grateful of the grace on my life. I am now not lost amongst the brethren and I can’t hide my weaknesses. My heart is transparent before Jesus to ultimately be humbled in Him.”
Brad Judd: “My Name is Brad. I am 24 years old and for the Last 4 years of my life I have been a Christian, with the last two being a Disciple of Christ. Since becoming a disciple I have noticed not only do I now have a real relationship with God but my whole attitude and character has changed for the better. For a great deal of time I had been struggling with life, with alcohol, manic depression, suicide, violence, anger, anxiety and all things associated with that.
I am proud to say that I no longer struggle with any of these issues. This due to the fact that JESUS IS LORD, and his word works when applied biblically. In this time I have been taught how to operate in the gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 12) and the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5: 22-23). Discipleship has been the hardest thing that I have had to do in my life at times as I have always been someone who would run when the times got hard. However there has been nothing better in my life either.
I am sad to see that it is no longer a major part of the church today even though it is a commandment of Jesus. I wish to thank all those who have been involved in raising me up as a disciple and encourage anyone who is a Christian to become a disciple.”
Rachel Travica: “Through discipleship I've learnt how to maintain my walk with God. To be disciplined and spend daily time with God in prayer and reading the Bible. To be balanced out in my emotions and not to be as moved by circumstances going on around me. I've learnt that it's not about whether I feel 'on fire' for Jesus but that the Spirit of God lives in me and is 'on fire' all the time. I then don't have to base my actions on how I feel but on what the Bible tells me to do. Also I've learnt that it's not about religion ie, going to church, doing the 'right' things, saying the Christian lines but about my developing a personal relationship with Jesus. “
