This message is a warm invitation to let God’s love move from your head into your heart. We pull on big truths here: Tozer’s challenge that what we think about God determines our life, Sinclair Ferguson’s reminder that the greater the Lover the greater the love, and the way Scripture shows us God as the One who sees (El Roi). These aren’t just ideas; they’re meant to be felt.

We walk through 1 John, 1 Corinthians 13, and Jesus’ words in John to show a love that is personal, infinite, and demonstrated in action — a love that chose you before the world began and that pursues you now. Remember the woman in Luke who couldn’t remain hidden? That’s the kind of love we talk about: a love that notices, finds, and heals.

This love is holy and steadfast — it isn’t based on what we’ve earned. It’s forgiving, loyal, measureless, and fatherly. It’s poured into our hearts by the Spirit, not just explained to our minds. The point isn’t only that God loves the world, but that God loves you — truly, deeply, and personally, the same love he has for Jesus.

The call is practical: abide in that love and let it shape how you treat others. Love one another as Christ loved us — to the fullest extent, even to death of self. When we truly live this out, people will know we follow Jesus because of how we love, not by our attendance or playlists but by our everyday kindness, patience, and self-giving.

If you’re struggling to believe God loves you, try saying it out loud, sit with the idea, and ask the Spirit to pour that truth into your heart. Love is the higher thing to pursue — it transforms us and prepares the things God has set aside for those who love him.

So let this be a morning to feel loved, to dwell in God’s presence, and to go love others in ways that no one could remain hidden. We’re all learning, and this is an invitation to keep returning to the simple, life-changing truth: God loves you — let it change you.

This message walks through Hagar’s story and the name El‑Roi — the God who sees — reminding us that God meets us in the wilderness, hears our pain, and calls us back to life and community. Come sit with the story, let yourself be seen, and bring others along as we gather at the table of communion.

What does it actually means to call God “Lord”? It’s a simple, letting Jesus be the master who cares for what He owns, and then that ownership brings real peace and purpose. And when we fully surrender to Him it isn’t about losing freedom but truly finding it and seeing God's divine purpose unleashed in His surrendered people.

In this teaching we wrestle with the surprising name of God: “Jealous.” It’s not about pettiness or insecurity, but a passionate, faithful love that refuses to let lesser things steal your joy.

Abraham’s climb up the mountain is a simple, powerful reminder that God often has provision already on the move before we even know we need it. When life doesn’t make sense, this message gently says: God sees, God knows, God will provide.

If you’re waiting, worried, or just worn out, breathe easy — you don’t have to have all the answers. Bring what you have, take one step, and trust that the God who promised is already working on your behalf.

This teaching from Mountainside Church walks you through why God’s holiness isn’t just another trait but the lens that shapes everything: it humbles us, exposes our need, and heals the world He touches.

Take a breath and let the weight and warmth of God’s otherness sink in — it’s both awe‑filled and safe. Want to learn more or connect? Visit mcboone.com.

Hey friend — this message is a simple, straight-from-the-heart reminder that there is real, living power in the name of Jesus. He’s not a symbol or a myth; he’s the one who laid down his life and rose again, the name that changes death to life and shame to belonging.

If you’ve ever wondered who Jesus really is or what his name means for your life, this talk invites you to meet him more deeply: Jesus as Savior, King, Light, and the one who gives you new life right now. Take a breath — you’re welcome at the table because Jesus says you are.

Hey friend — if you ever struggle with the word "Father," this short practice is for you. Breathe in, pray "Abba," breathe out, pray "I belong to you," and let the Spirit remind you you’re adopted, wanted, and deeply loved.

If you carry hurt from an earthly dad, try this gently: imagine Jesus holding your hand, forgive when you can, then come as you are and let God be your Abba. Listen, and spend a quiet, honest moment with the One who calls you beloved.

This message explores the meaning of God’s name — I AM (Yahweh) — and what it reveals about God's eternal presence, independence, and unchanging character, drawing from Revelation, Exodus, and the life of Jesus.

The sermon invites listeners to trust the God who was, who is, and who will be, and to respond in worship, confidence, and relationship with Christ.

Today, we explore God as the Maker: how creation reveals His character, how our identity is God-given rather than self-made, and how God continually shapes, sustains, and completes our lives. It invites listeners to worship, stand in awe of the created world, and trust the Maker at work in them.
