Mountaintop Church

We believe that the work we are going to do together over the next decade will make an eternal impact in Birmingham and beyond for the next generation. One family at a time. We believe that is how you shape a generation, and so we are making room for one more family to be invited into our family here at Mountaintop. And by extension, to come to know what it means to be part of the family of God.

Here at Mountaintop, we’re a church that invites and equips people to follow Jesus. So we’re always eager to welcome others. There’s always room for one more. In about a month, we will have completed our largest construction project in over 20 years, since we built our church on top of this mountain. This new facility will be completed, and we’ll have more parking than we’ve ever had, more check-in stations than we’ve ever had, more square footage than we’ve ever had, more kids’ classrooms than we’ve ever had. And we need it because we have more people than we’ve ever had. We’re making room FOR One more kid that you’re inviting, FOR Families we haven’t met yet and FOR Birmingham to know that we’ve created space for them. God has given us A Holy Burden FOR others, and that’s what this series is all about.

“What do Christians believe…really?” Well, we believe in eternity. We believe in a forever Kingdom. We believe that what we do matters…FOREVER. We are not following Jesus because it will simply make our lives better, even though it will. Or that it will make our world better — it will! We’re doing this because we have an invitation to live forever. The creation God made in the beginning will finally be restored and renewed. He’ll make everything new, including you, and at that point, either your sins will be held against you, or your name will be found written in the Book of Life and they’ll be forgiven. We believe we’ll have to give an account for our part in the story. And our part in the story of what God is doing on earth and in eternity really matters. That’s why knowing what we really believe is so important.

After Jesus’s death and resurrection, He ascended to heaven, but He told us that He was leaving the Holy Spirit behind for anyone who believed. This spirit filled people would be tasked with getting the word out about Him. Those people are called The Church.

Christians believe that the story of Jesus Christ doesn't end with his death on the cross or with his burial in a borrowed tomb. Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead three days after he died on a cross, and it may be one of the most challenging beliefs of Christianity. Even Christ's disciples didn't believe it when they first heard the news. But it's a cornerstone of the Christian faith.

Almost everyone would agree that Jesus was a Good Man. Believing Jesus is a good man is not what sets Christians apart. We believe that he was more. We believe he was the only God Man. We believe he was both God and man. In fact, this is distinctive among Christians. No other religion makes a claim like this. And this is so crucial to understand what Christians believe. We do not believe Jesus was just a good man with good ideas. We believe Jesus was THE God man. And we believe this is absolutely necessary for humans to be made right with God.

What do you think people who are not Christians think Christians believe? if you’re a skeptic, it is most likely the things you ‘think’ you have to believe in order to become a Christian that have kept you from even considering becoming one. But what we really believe is beautiful and its Good News. We’re going to use as our framework for these foundational beliefs something that unites all Christians and tells the story of what God is doing through Jesus. And it’s been around a long time: The Apostle’s Creed.

Some of us are going through a storm, or we’re just on the other side of one. Or maybe we’re about to head into one... Nobody wants a storm. They’re inconvenient. You're forced to seek shelter, and sometimes you get soaked anyway. But sometimes, a storm is the catalyst that forces us to start over. What if we embraced this? What could be possible if you allow the storm you're going through to be the moment you start again?

It’s hard to wait. Sometimes it’s painful. But waiting is a critical element of our faith, and we can learn a lot about it from Noah. In the story of Noah’s Ark, you may have heard that it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, but at the end of chapter seven, the Bible says that the flood lasted 150 days. The rain stopped, but Noah is just waiting! It couldn’t have been easy. Can you imagine the tension in the Ark? What is God doing out there? What is happening? Like Noah, you may have to wait to see how God works.

God is working through the storms in our lives, and His mercy always shows up in our mess. We can have comfort in the chaos. The story of Noah should lead us to rest in God's invitation to take shelter in Him.
