Our Verse: Daniel 2:35 The rock that knocked the statue down became a great mountain that covered the whole earth.

Mountains are often mentioned in the Bible. Mt Sinai is the place God gave us the Ten Commandments. Jesus prepared for His ministry on a mountain Mt 4:8, and He returned to Heaven from a mountain. Mt 28:16

There are 2 pictures God shows us through mountains- First, a visual image of His coming Kingdom. Second, places where God speaks to us.

Mountains offer a powerful picture of God, describing His power, His place above all human history, and His worldwide Kingdom coming someday.

Daniel the prophet describes a dream in which a stone transforms into a mountain which covers the earth. This world encompassing mountain represents the kingdom of God that will one day cover the entire world. The Lord Jesus is the stone. (Romans 9:33) He will dramatically return to Earth and end all human kingdoms. More about this prophecy in Daniel chapter 2!

While God has big plans for the world, He still wants to talk to us! This is a second purpose of mountains and why we designed The Mountain program.

God chooses quiet remote places to talk to us. Big events happen on mountains. Big events are foretold on mountains. He leads us away from the noise of daily life to instruct us and let us share our troubles. Jesus slipped away from the crowds to talk to His Father and share quiet time with His students, the disciples. Our Mountain episodes are a way to escape the flood of input and contemplate the things of God and our souls. If you get to meet with God on a high mountain, great, but its not required, you can to meet with God anywhere, even on this screen! Any quiet spot, even your closet, will do! You can get instructions and tell Him your troubles.
Taking the spiritual climb toward God is the only way to prepare for life's challenges. You might not be able to physically climb to solitude, but God makes a lofty spiritual retreat with Him wherever you are. Prayer takes us to a place high above the struggles of life.
So join us on The Mountain. We'll share a quiet thoughtful place where we learn to spend time with God. He is willing and available. Let's trek there together!
