  • You Don't Have to Be Who You've Always Been | beLONGING

    You don’t have to be who you’ve always been. You have no idea how God wants to redefine your life in this Kingdom in which he has invited you and me to belong. Even the you who think you could never belong with God. You don’t have be who you’ve always been. You can be who God meant for you to be. You can belong in Spirit and truth.

  • The Solution for Your Longing to Belong | beLONGING

    Our expectation of home doesn’t always match our experience of home. What you were hoping would bring comfort, peace and serenity ends up bringing tension and division and stress. You just wanted grandma’s cooking, but you got grandad’s opinion of your haircut. Have you ever asked yourself, “What is that?” Why does my experience often not measure up to my expectations and yet, again and again, my soul longs for this elusive thing called HOME... God has provided a solution for this, and this series called beLONGING, is going to tackle this longing for belonging that is universal to us all.

  • Kindness & Goodness | Fruit(full)
    Life in the Spirit is an invitation to abundant life - Life full of fruit, pleasant to the taste. In this series, we've been examining the fruits of the Spirit, and today we get to explore both Kindness and Goodness. But what does it mean to be good?

  • Peace & Gentleness | Fruit(full)

    We often view Peace as something you GET not necessarily something you HAVE. You go for a walk to get some peace, or you go sit on a beach to get some peace. But is that real peace? You need peace when the arrows are flying. You need peace in traffic and in the drama. You need peace when there is tension. So true peace must not come from an exterior stimulus. It must be something you have when you can’t get it.

    You don't have to constantly doubt if you're getting it right as a parent. Start here and feel confident about raising a healthy and happy family.

    Please welcome Sandra Stanley to Mountaintop!

    Whether you're sleep deprived with a colicky newborn or navigating the emotional roller coaster of a teenager, parenting has its ups and downs, its confusion and clarity, its big blowups and small victories.

  • Self-Control | Fruit(full)
    We have all fallen for something that looked good, seemed good, tasted good, felt good – and it, indeed, was NOT good. We lacked self-control. And it’s no surprise. It’s not a value in our culture. We’re taught: Discover yourself. Indulge self. Embrace yourself. Satisfy yourself. Be yourself. Accept yourself. But life isn't all about me, and what I want isn't always what I need. Jesus didn't just teach self-control, he modeled it.

  • Love | Fruit(full)

    Love is the most important visible by-product of a life of faith in Jesus and that’s why I don’t think it’s an accident that it’s the first Fruit of the Spirit listed by Paul. There are so many places in the Bible that talk about love, and it is one of our Marks of a Follower here at Mountaintop: to LOVE RADICALLY. But somehow, we've separated and split apart our love for God and our love for others. We've somehow convinced ourselves that we can love God and be mean to people. Here’s a better way to think about it: Are Christians known as the most loving people on earth? No, we’re not. But John, who was in the inner circle of Jesus’s three closest disciples, says we should be.

  • Faithfulness | Fruit(full)

    This Sunday, we're beginning a Summer series about how the Holy Spirit produces fruitfulness in our lives, and we're starting with the spiritual fruit of Faithfulness. By the end of today's message, we hope you can see that when we lean into God's faithfulness, we receive faithfulness in return! Spiritual fruit comes only from the Holy Spirit, and that we can't replace the work of the Spirit with our own effort.

    "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no loaw against these things." - Galatians 5:22-23

  • Focus, Direction and Destiny | VBS Kickoff

    It's VBS week at Mountaintop! This Sunday we're gearing up to "Follow Jesus Here, There and Everywhere!"

    Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. • Hebrews 12:1b-2a
    Focus determines direction.
    Direction shapes decisions.
    Decisions create destiny.
    If you don't fix your eyes on Jesus, you can lose focus on your faith!
