Money. It's real and tangible. It's a limited resource. None of us feel like we have enough of it. And none of us would turn down a raise from our boss. The truth is, money can be a very real source of stress and pain. But it's also inextricably linked to our faith. So... how do we move from pain to privilege in our giving?

The most important thing we do for the city outside our walls doesn’t even happen outside our walls. It’s actually what happens inside these walls. Because people’s lives are changed inside these walls. And it’s people -- not churches, not organizations, nor ministries --  people can change the world. So when God changes people in here, they have the potential to change the world for God out there. That’s why: The most important thing we do FOR Birmingham is change more lives IN Birmingham.

We know about God is because somebody told somebody who told us. You may have been raised in a Christian home and it was your family who told you. It might have been a friend who invited you to youth group. Maybe it was a youth pastor, a Sunday school teacher or a preacher. Somebody told you who had been told by someone else.   The bible says we have a responsibility to do something with this faith that's been handed down to us. 

At Mountaintop, we're unapologetically FOR families because we believe that one more changed home can shape a generation. If we are serious about our mission to Invite and equip people to follow Jesus, it is imperative that we invite and equip young people -- and their parents -- to follow Jesus.  

FOR One. FOR Families. FOR Birmingham.

What is ONE person worth? One is worth Jesus leaving the glory seat of Heaven for the gory scene of the cross. One is worth the light of the world going into the darkness of a borrowed tomb. One is worth the Prince of Peace suffering the pain of crucifixion. 

Here at Mountaintop, we are FOR ONE. One more changed life.   For ONE. For FAMILIES. For BHM.

Love is more than a singular feeling and certainly more than a phrase. We’re going to see Paul say in the Bible that love needs multiple actions behind it if we want to "Win at Love." And this love that Paul describes is the kind of love that can only be found in the character of God. So, here's the ending before we really start the beginning:  Since God is love, we need to know God to know how to love.

Part of our mission at Mountaintop is to equip people to follow Jesus, including equipping people to follow Jesus in their marriages and dating relationships. We want you to win at love. And that's what this series is all about. The stakes of losing are too high. And if marriage isn't for you, we want to equip you to walk through life with your friends and family who are struggling in committed relationships.

Life can be painful, and often that pain is disorienting and confusing. But pain also has the ability to clarify what's most important.  

In this episode, we're blessed to host pastor James Savage from Cross Point Church in Tennessee. Join us as he explains how in Christ we find out who we are and what we are living for.

Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year. But, it’s also the most PRESSURE-filled time of the year. Family expectations, end of the year at work, all those communal things we feel every December... And that's on top of the pressure we feel the rest of the year: Parental pressure, family pressure, financial pressure, social pressure... Pressure has weight and odds are that you are carrying some of that around. And it’s very possible that the Christmas season has only made it worse. BUT the first Christmas actually announced an end to the weight of that pressure. There is freedom in the promise of forever through Jesus.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? We are our own worst critics. We know all our shortcomings. We see obstacles. We see a million reasons why God CAN’T do something in us and through us. BUT where we see obstacles, God sees opportunities. If there were no obstacles there would be no opportunity for Him to show his omnipotence through our obedience.
