Woman - Securing the Cord (Part 3)
Today at 7:00 AM

For three weeks, we've been looking at a cord: threefold, unbreakable, woven before the first wedding ever happened. We've seen that the Trinity is the original relationship, that the man was woven in first and called to image Christ in sacrificial love. This week, we come to the third strand, the one whose presence secures the portrait and makes it visible to the world. In Genesis 2, God looked at everything He had made and said for the first time: not good. Not because something was broken, but because the picture wasn't finished yet. She wasn't made to complete a...


Man - Woven Into the Cord (Part 2)
06/14/2026

Before God created woman for man, he created man for Himself. He formed him, gave him work and oversight, and gave him direction before anyone else arrived. Genesis 2 unveils the creation of humanity; the story of a man being woven into relationship with God before he was joined to anyone else. This Sunday, as we continue our KNOTTED series, we'll discover what it means for a man to be made for God first. Then, what happens when men skip that relationship and go straight to an earthly connection.

Trinity: The Original Cord (Part 1)
06/06/2026

We spend a lot of energy trying to build a relationship that will last; the right person, the right foundation, the right commitment. But what if the most unbreakable relationship in existence was already there before you arrived?

This week, we're starting a new series called Knotted, looking at what the Bible says about Marriage. Our starting point is found before the first couple, before creation, in the eternal relationship of our Triune God: Father, Son and Spirit.

God is the foundation of relationship, a picture of strength as a threefold cord. Join us this...


The Survival Kit
05/31/2026

The Survival Kit is a message for anyone stepping into something new: a new grade, a new school, a new job, or a new season of life. Using simple everyday items, this teaching shows how God gives us spiritual “survival tools” for moments of fear, uncertainty, and transition. Based on Isaiah 41:10, this message reminds us that God’s presence, strength, help, and protection go with us wherever we go.

Better Than You Could Write It
05/24/2026

 Ruth: Finding God in the ordinary

We've spent five weeks watching ordinary people make faithful choices in hard seasons. All the while, God was quietly at work behind the scenes.

This Sunday, we close out Ruth's story, which turns out better than anyone could have expected. A mourning woman restored, a foreign widow welcomed, and a family line that reaches all the way to Jesus.

If your story feels unfinished, painful, or stuck somewhere in the middle, God is still working. We'll discover God in the ordinary one more time, then gather around t...


Do the Next Right Thing
05/20/2026

 Ruth: Finding God in the ordinary

Most of us know what we should do, but we're just waiting for a better moment. We're waiting for the perfect moment or maybe a sign from God, but what if it never comes?


This week in Ruth 4, we watch Boaz get up in the morning, call a meeting, and do what faithfulness asked of him. He didn't hesitate or delay what he knew needed to happen.


Maybe there's a decision you've been avoiding. Sometimes it takes more faith to walk the line than wait f...


What Faithfulness Looks Like
05/10/2026

SERMON TITLE: What Faithfulness Looks Like

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Ruth 3:1–18

KEY VERSE(S): Ruth 3:1 — "My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?"

THEME: Faithfulness

BOTTOMLINE: Following faithful counsel is an act of faith.

PROMO DESCRIPTION:

Some of the most important moments in your life were shaped by someone who saw further down the road than you could. This Sunday, as we continue through the Book of Ruth, we're goin...


The Person God's Revealing
05/03/2026

Ruth: Finding God in the ordinary

Everyone's looking for the right partner, but most of us are using the wrong filter. This Sunday, we're back in the Book of Ruth, asking a question that cuts to the heart of every relationship: How do you know if someone is worth trusting?

At the end of chapter two, God begins to pull back the curtain on who Boaz really is in how he treats a foreign widow who can offer him nothing. It turns out the ordinary moments are where character is revealed and formed.

Hidden in the Ordinary
04/23/2026

Have you ever had a moment when you looked back and realized God had been working the whole time? But at the time, you just couldn't see it.

This Sunday, we're continuing our Ruth series, Finding God in the Ordinary. We'll find a young widow going to work in a field on an ordinary morning, but she walks into a moment that will change everything.

No miracles, no dramatic signs; just faithful presence meeting quiet providence. If you're in a season that feels unremarkable, routine, or like God has gone silent, this message is for...


Some Hard Paths We Choose
04/12/2026

 Ruth: Finding God in the ordinary

Some of the hardest decisions we make aren't the reckless ones; they're the ones that made complete sense at the time. This Sunday, we open the book of Ruth, a story set in one of the darkest seasons in Israel's history.

We meet a man who considered his options, chose the obvious one, and led his family in the wrong direction without knowing it. We also meet a woman who made one of the most remarkable turns in the entire Bible.

If you've ever made a choice t...


Easter: The Lord Is Risen
04/05/2026

EASTER: From Darkness to Dawn

It was still dark… and hope felt gone.

On that first Easter morning, everything seemed lost.
Grief, fear, and doubt filled the hearts of Jesus’ followers.
But in a single moment, everything changed.

A name spoken in the dark.
Peace in a locked room.
Hope for the one who doubted.

Jesus didn’t wait for them to have it all together—He met them right where they were.

And He still does.

Discover a risen Savior who meets you in y...


Good Friday: The King on the Cross
04/05/2026

 EASTER: From Darkness to Dawn

What looked like an execution… was actually a coronation.

On Good Friday, Jesus was mocked, beaten, and nailed to a cross.
To the world, it looked like a defeated king.
But every detail told a different story.

The crown of thorns.
The purple robe.
The sign above His head.

All pointing to one truth: Jesus is King. And in His final words—“It is finished”—He wasn’t giving up… He was completing the work of salvation.

Discover a King who took on our...


Maundy Thursday: The Last Supper
04/03/2026

  EASTER: From Darkness to Dawn

What if you knew… someone would betray you— Would you still love them?

This Maundy Thursday, we remember the night Jesus chose to love… anyway.
He washed the feet of His disciples, He shared the bread and the cup and He loved—even those who would fail Him.
We are called to love like Jesus—by serving humbly, giving sacrificially, and remaining faithful to the end.

Discover a love that is: Humble, Sacrificial and Faithful to the end
Join us as we reflect on John 13 and partici...


Palm Sunday - Hosanna to the King
03/29/2026

  EASTER: From Darkness to Dawn

Today we begin our Easter journey, a week that changed everything. It starts with celebration: crowds shouting “Hosanna!” as Jesus enters Jerusalem. But even at that moment, many didn’t fully understand who He was.

Over this week, we’ll walk through the story of Jesus, His sacrifice, His love, and His victory.
So, as we start this week, here’s the question: Are we following Jesus for what we expect… or for who He truly is?

Discerning Heart – Live with God’s Wisdom
03/22/2026

  EMOTIONS: Getting a Grip of Your Heart & Mind

We all want to make better decisions, but most of us are still reacting on impulse and wondering why the same patterns keep repeating. This Sunday at Mountainview Church, we wrap up our Emotions series with a message on the Discerning Heart.

We'll look at what it actually takes to build the kind of heart that stays steady when life gets hard, filters emotions through truth instead of impulse, and grows wiser with every obedient decision. Drawing from the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, this message i...


Divine Diagnosis – Let God Do the Exam
03/15/2026

  EMOTIONS: Getting a Grip of Your Heart & Mind

We spend a lot of energy managing how we appear to other people and even to God. But the Bible tells us that God already sees every corner of our hearts.

This Sunday, we're in week three of our Emotions series, and we're asking a question most of us quietly avoid: what happens when we finally let God do the exam? We'll be walking through three of David's Penitential Psalms and tracing his journey from avoidance to concealment to confession.

If you've been carrying something h...


Divided Heart – Trust God completely
03/09/2026

 EMOTIONS: Getting a Grip of Your Heart & Mind

Have you ever felt pulled in two directions at once? The world tells us to “follow your heart,” but what happens when your heart doesn’t know where it’s going? In Week 2 of our Emotions series, we’re talking about the divided heart and why unsettled loyalties lead to unstable lives. Looking at Joshua, Proverbs, and Psalm 86, we’ll see how choosing God as our destination changes everything. When the destination is clear, daily direction becomes steady. Join us as we learn how to move from a divided heart to a un...


Deceptive Diagnosis
03/01/2026

 Deceptive Diagnosis

Have you ever reacted to something, only to realize later that you completely misread the situation? Our emotions are powerful, but they don't always tell us the truth.

This Sunday, we're launching a brand new series called Emotions: Getting a Grip of Your Heart and Mind. Week one is titled Deceptive Diagnosis, and we're going to look at what happens when our feelings fool us and what to do about it.

We'll be digging into Jeremiah 17:9–10, and discovering why God's perspective on our circumstances is always clearer than our own. Don't ass...


Faithfulness vs Apathy
02/22/2026

 Virtue & Vices

This week we are ending our series Virtue vs Vice and we are going to confront a silent but dangerous enemy of the soul: apathy. In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30), Jesus teaches that faithfulness is not about how much we have but about what we do with what we’ve been given. As we wait for Jesus’ return, will we act in obedience or bury what God entrusted to us? Join us as we explore The Virtue of Faithfulness vs. The Vice of Apathy.

Purity vs. Lust
02/16/2026

 Virtue & Vices

This week we are discussing a calling that most of us feel unable to live up to: purity. Also a stumbling block that many of us would rather keep in the dark: lust.

How many of us have done the work to try and actually understand purity and lust, and how many of us understand the way God sees these things?

We see these two contrasting concepts brought up throughout scripture, we must acknowledge they are important, and how God views them.

Series: Virtues & Vices
Speaker: Aaron Mones


Self-Control vs. Indulgence
02/08/2026

Self-control often gets framed as restriction, but Scripture tells a different story. In Titus 2, Paul shows us that self-control is a grace-formed virtue meant for every generation.

Indulgence distracts and enslaves, slowly pulling us off course without us noticing. But self-control gives direction, freeing us from our impulses so we can run toward what truly matters.

This message explores how grace trains our desires and reshapes our daily choices. Join us as we learn how the Spirit forms what the flesh never could.

Scripture: Titus 2<...


Patience vs. Anger
02/01/2026

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Ephesians 4:25–32

KEY VERSE: Ephesians 4:26-27 (ESV) - "Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil."

BOTTOMLINE: Patience pauses. Anger pushes.

PROMO DESCRIPTION: Anger shows up fast, loud, and demanding. Patience moves slower, but it goes deeper.

In Ephesians 4, Paul doesn’t deny anger; he redirects it. This message explores why anger so easily takes control and how the Spirit forms patience instead.

When pressure rise...


Humility vs. Envy
01/26/2026

Virtue & Vices

What do you do when someone else’s success quietly irritates you instead of inspiring you? James' letter to the church exposes how envy produces disorder while humility, shaped by the Spirit, creates peace.

This Sunday, we'll explore how comparison corrodes the heart and why humility is not weakness but wisdom from above. We’ll look at the difference between competing for recognition and resting in God’s grace.

If you’ve ever struggled to celebrate someone else’s win, this message is for you. Join us as we learn how the Spirit...


Joy vs. Despair
01/18/2026

 Virtue & Vices

What do you do when life just keeps getting harder? In Joy vs. Despair, we’re spending time in 2 Corinthians 4, where Paul writes from the middle of pressure, loss, and weariness.

He’s honest about how hard things are, but he refuses to let despair call the shots. We’ll learn why despair doesn’t get the final word, and why God is still at work, even here.

The goal isn’t to pretend things are fine or force a smile. We’ll focus on the quiet work God is still doing in us...


Gratitude vs. Greed
01/11/2026

SERMON TITLE: Gratitude vs. Greed. 

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Timothy 6:6–10. 

BOTTOM LINE: Gratitude turns what we have into enough; greed makes enough never enough. 

PROMO DESCRIPTION: 

This Sunday, we continue our series Virtues & Vices with a message that's needed after the holiday season: Gratitude vs. Greed. In a culture that constantly tells us we need more, Scripture offers a better way. 

From 1 Timothy 6, we’ll explore why godliness with contentment is a great gain and how gratitude breaks greed’s grip on our hearts. We...


LOVE vs. PRIDE
01/04/2026

SERMON TITLE: LOVE vs. PRIDE

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Philippians 2:3–8.

KEY VERSE: Philippians 2:3 - Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count. 

BOTTOM LINE: Love humbles and serves; pride elevates and isolates.

PROMO DESCRIPTION:

Pride shows up quietly, even in good people doing good things. In Philippians 2, Paul contrasts self-centred ambition with the self-giving love of Jesus.

This Sunday, we launch our new series, Virtues and Vices. As we look at the virtue of love and the...


The Rest In Waiting
12/29/2025

Advent: Isaiah's Prophetic Promises. 

December 28th is Sabbath Sunday: An intentional day of rest from all regular and ministry work, as we gather with friends and family in homes during this strategic day between Christmas and New Year’s.

Together, we’ll reflect on Isaiah 40:31 and rediscover the strength that comes from waiting on the Lord. Through Scripture, communion, and quiet reflection, we’ll remember that Jesus was born to die and rise again.

As we proclaim His death and await His return, we’re reminded that our hope is secure and our strength...


Christmas Eve: The Light of the World
12/24/2025

 Advent: Isaiah's Prophetic Promises.

Darkness has a way of getting our attention. When the lights go out, we realize just how much we were depending on them. And in the middle of the world’s darkness, God kept a promise.

Isaiah foretold a great light shining in the darkness, a promise fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. On Christmas Eve, we reflect on how Christ enters our darkness not just to reveal it, but to overcome it. Jesus is the Light of the World, breaking through sin, fear, and uncertainty, and offering hope where it’s mos...


The Love of the Servant
12/21/2025

SERMON TITLE: The Love of the Servant

4th ADVENT: Love

Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-4

BOTTOM LINE: The love of Jesus restores what the world has nearly destroyed.

PROMO DESCRIPTION:

Life has a way of bending us. Some of us are still standing… but barely. Maybe you feel like a bruised reed—hurt, wounded, exhausted. Or maybe your faith feels like a smoldering wick—the flame is still there, but it’s almost gone.

Here’s the good news: God has promised t...


Joy of Salvation
12/14/2025

SERMON TITLE: Joy of Salvation

ADVENT THEME: Joy

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 12:1-6

THE BOTTOM LINE: True joy is found in knowing that you have been saved.

PROMO DESCRIPTION:

If you ever find yourself overwhelmed in all the emotions of Christmas but you realize that joy is nowhere to be found, perhaps it is because you aren't looking in the right place, or you are looking for the wrong joy. 

In Isaiah 12 we look at the kind of joy promised to God's people, and it is very specific. It i...


The Peace of the Prince
12/06/2025

SERMON TITLE: The Peace of the Prince

ADVENT THEME: Peace

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 9:6-7

THE BOTTOM LINE: Resting in peace is granted through the Prince of Peace.

This Sunday, we’ll light the Peace candle and step into Isaiah’s promise of a coming King called the “Prince of Peace.” In a world that feels restless, anxious, and loud, we’ll look beyond sentimental ideas of peace and see the One who actually brings it.

Together we’ll explore why true peace isn’t automatic, cultural, or guaranteed after death. And why Script...


The Hope of Immanuel
11/30/2025

Series: Advent in Isaiah 

Sermon Title: The Hope of Immanuel 

Scripture Passage: Isaiah 7:14 NIrV

Key Verse: Isaiah 7:14

Bottom Line: Hope is, God with Us.

PROMO DESCRIPTION:

This week we are launching our new series, Advent in Isaiah. In week one we are unpacking the message of Hope rooted in this truth: Immanuel "God with Us." Found in Isaiah 7:14.

Join us as we discover how God's presence gives courage in the face of fear, peace when life feels beyond our control, and confidence when tomorrow seems un...


Sealed In Him
11/23/2025

This Sunday, we’re diving into one of the most hope-filled truths found in Ephesians 1. Paul tells us that everyone who trusts Jesus is sealed with the Holy Spirit.

That seal marks us as God’s own and guarantees our future with Him. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, fear, or insecurity in your walk with Christ, this passage is for you.

We’ll explore what it means to be sealed, secured, and strengthened by the Spirit. Join us as we conclude our Identity series and discover the confidence God wants us to live in.

Inheritance in Him
11/16/2025

Identity

When God saves, He adopts us and gives us an inheritance in Christ. He also draws us into His purpose, working all things according to the counsel of His will.

Ultimately, our lives exist to bring glory to God, from the first to hope in Christ to all who believe today. If you’re tired of chasing identity in shifting places, discover who you are in Him.

Why not invite a friend who needs assurance and purpose to join you? It might just be their first step to finding their true identity in...


Purpose In Him
11/09/2025

God’s plan is redemptive. In Ephesians 1:9–10, Paul reveals the mystery hidden for ages: God’s purpose is to unite all things in Christ.

In a divided world, that’s the hope we need. Join us for Purpose in Him as we explore how His plan gives meaning to our story and direction to our days.

Discover how your ordinary life fits into God’s extraordinary mission to restore heaven and earth under Jesus. Find your purpose in His plan, and see how every piece of your story connects to His greater design.

Redeemed in Him
11/02/2025

Redemption isn’t just a religious word; it’s the heartbeat of the gospel. In Ephesians 1:7–8, Paul reveals that through the blood of Jesus, we have been rescued from slavery, forgiven of every sin, and covered by God’s overflowing grace.

This truth not only reveals the redemptive work of Christ it redefines our very identity in Him. Today, we step into the fullness of what it means to live as the redeemed: liberated from bondage, washed in forgiveness, and overflowing with grace.

Adopted In Him
10/26/2025

Everyone longs to belong somewhere. But what if the belonging we’ve been chasing was already offered to us before we were born?

This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to be adopted in Christ, continuing Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Long before we ever reached for God, He chose to make us His own through Jesus.

Adoption is God’s original plan. Come discover how God turns spiritual orphans into beloved sons and daughters and how that truth changes the way we live, love, and worship.

Chosen In Him
10/19/2025

Before time began, God already had you in mind. In this week’s message, Chosen in Him, we’ll discover the life-changing truth that God’s plan of salvation didn’t start with our decision but with His love.

Through Ephesians 1:4, we’ll see how being chosen in Christ gives us confidence, purpose, and a call to holiness. God’s choice isn’t random, but relational, anchored in His grace.

Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to be chosen by God and sent for His mission. Your story began in His heart long bef...


Blessed & Thankful in Him
10/12/2025

What if you realized that everything you’ve been praying for…is already yours in Christ?

What if gratitude wasn’t just a feeling — but a reflection of your identity?

In Ephesians 1:3, Paul takes us even deeper. He reminds us that we are already blessed — not because of what we have, but because of who we belong to.

Join us this week for our next message in the series: “Identity: Found in Him: Blessed & Thankful in Him.”

Let’s discover how to live with gratitude, walk in spiritual abundance, and see life through hea...
