As kids, we all eventually outgrow our shoes, but many of us never outgrew our prayers. In fact, we still pray the same way we did as kids! And maybe that’s a problem. What if there’s a better way? In this series, we’re going to talk about why we pray, how we pray, and what it means to pray as an adult. 

This week, Toni Collier visits with us  at Mountaintop Church and talks about grown up prayers along with her new book, "Brave Enough to Be Broken: How to embrace your pain and discover hope and healing."

When you pull out your phone and use a maps app to get directions, you often get two or three options. They're all a little different, but eventually, they all get you to the same destination. But is religion like that? Aren’t all religions different roads to the same destination? Aren’t they just telling you different ways to end up on the good side of eternity?  Well... no. And Christianity is distinct because Christianity is taking a different road in a different vehicle to an entirely different kind of destination.

Don’t good people from all religions go to heaven? Don’t all religions tell you about how to be good and have a good afterlife? Well, the answer to that is, "No." They don’t all even have an afterlife as part of their doctrine and many of them have different definitions of good.  Some aren’t even concerned with good and evil. This series is NOT about is picking apart other religions. It is about clarifying the unique truths about Christianity because what makes Christianity different makes all the difference.

In this series, called "Aren't They All the Same?" we want to equip Christians to do what Peter said we should do: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander." - 1 Peter 3:15b-16.

There's a certain dilemma that tempts us all, and it has the ability threaten our relationship with every person we know, every dream we have and every dollar we make. Greed is relentless. But we have a powerful weapon against it: Generosity.

"But God." When life Goes wrong this is one of the most important phrases we cling to:  But God. When Joseph sees his brothers again, he tells them "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." This doesn’t mean God causes bad things to happen to us. It means God can bring His good from your bad. Joseph chose integrity, character, faithfulness and trust when life went wrong.

Have you ever had a time when it just seems like everything is going wrong? We see pain and tragedy in the world around us, and we experience it in our own lives. In this series, we'll take a look at the life of Joseph, talk about the many different ways his life went wrong despite his faithfulness, and discover hope in the midst of the chaos.  VISIT: https://mountaintopchurch.com

Will I trust God’s way when I can’t see God’s will? This is what really matters. Everyone would trust God if circumstances always played out the way you hoped and if every story had a happy ending and if there were never any unknowns. The rubber meets the road with faith in this question. When I can’t see what he’s doing, will I still walk in his way?

Sometimes when things go wrong, our ethics fly out the window. We don’t get to decide the results; we just get to decide our response. I wish I could tell you that bad people will get what’s coming to them and that everything will go well with you if you have integrity. But we don’t control the results; we just control our response. And the question that matters isn’t if we’ll come out on top. The question is: Will I be the kind of person God’s calling me to be when circumstances aren’t what I hoped they would be?

What are we supposed to do when life goes wrong? I wish I could tell you how to steer clear of everything that goes wrong in life, but I can't. What I hope is that you’ll be able to hold firm to the one thing you can control in a chaotic world and why it’s the most important thing anyway. By the end of this message, I want to give you some truth that can help you be ready for the next time life goes wrong. Because we all know it will.

Everybody has opinions. And if you and I aren’t careful, we can let the opinions of others shape our identity. We can begin to believe that we are what others say about us. But that would be a LIE. The truth is, the only opinion that counts is your creator's.

What shapes your image? What in the world is influencing your identity? Image is powerful, and the internet has only added to the image of being an influencer or having a platform. But here’s the LIE: Our outward image verified our inward value.   The truth is: You were created in the image of God. So the only image that matters, is the one you already have.
