What happens when the world feels broken and everything seems out of place? In the final week of The Man Behind the Curtain, we explore Revelation 21–22 and discover the incredible hope of God's promise to make all things new. Through the imagery of a new heaven and a new earth, we see that God's ultimate plan is not to abandon this world, but to restore it, bringing an end to sin, suffering, death, and everything that has broken His good creation. Jesus, the Lamb of God, is making all things right and inviting us to live with hope, faith, and purpose as we anticipate His return. The world may be out of joint today, but a new creation is coming. Until then, we are called to love God, love people, and serve the world together in Jesus' name. Come, Lord Jesus!   So, what's next? New to Mountain? Click here 👉 https://bit.ly/MTNConnect Need prayer?

This week, we dive deeper into the book of Revelation and ask a big question: Are we living in the end times? As we explore Revelation chapters 6 and 7, we discover that this book isn't meant to scare us, but to prepare us. Even in a world filled with suffering, uncertainty, and hardship, we can live with urgency, hold on to hope, and trust God's promises. No matter what challenges we face, we can find peace in knowing how the story ends: Jesus wins. So, what's next? New to Mountain? Click here 👉 https://bit.ly/MTNConnect Need prayer?

In Week 3 of The Man Behind the Curtain, our series through the book of Revelation, we explore Revelation 4–5 and get a glimpse behind the curtain into the throne room of heaven. Through powerful imagery and symbolism, we’re reminded that even when life feels chaotic, God is still on the throne, sovereign and in control. When we’re overwhelmed by worry, grief, broken relationships, and circumstances we can’t fix, we can find peace in His presence and hope in Jesus, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God, who alone is worthy to bring redemption and make all things right. Your worst moments may become your most meaningful moments of worship as you surrender the things you can’t control to the One who can.   So, what's next? New to Mountain?

What happens when Jesus sits you down for a heart-to-heart? In week 2 of our Revelation series, "The Man Behind the Curtain," we walk through Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2–3, a kind of performance review from the One who knows us best and loves us most. We hear his words of affirmation for churches that endured suffering and stayed faithful, and his loving corrections for those with "slippage," from losing their first love in Ephesus and compromising in Pergamum to spiritual sleepiness in Sardis and lukewarm faith in Laodicea. These words aren't meant to shame us but to save us, and they end with an invitation: Jesus is standing at the door and knocking, and only you can open it. Where is Jesus calling you to wake up, turn back, and return to your first love?   So, what's next? New to Mountain? Click here 👉 https://bit.ly/MTNConnect Need prayer?

What if the book of Revelation isn’t meant to scare us, but to give us hope? As we begin this new series, we pull back the curtain on Revelation to discover its central message: Jesus is greater, stronger, and more present than we often realize. Written to people facing fear, pressure, and uncertainty, Revelation reminds us that rescue is coming, hope is real, and we’re called to stay faithful to Jesus in the meantime. Whatever you’re facing today, this message invites you to see Jesus in a bigger way and to remember: don’t be afraid.   So, what's next? New to Mountain?

We all see the world through a lens, but have you ever stopped to ask what is shaping yours? Today we explore the worldviews and ideas that influence how we understand identity, truth, purpose, happiness, and even what happens after we die. We’re challenged to recognize the beliefs shaping our lives and consider what it looks like to let Jesus transform the way we think. Ultimately, Jesus brings us to a deeply personal question: “Do you believe this?” And how we answer has the power to change not only how we see the world, but how we live in it.   So, what's next?

What’s wrong with the world and what will fix it? We all see the brokenness around us, but the way we define the problem shapes where we look for the solution. In Glass Half..., we explore how the Christian worldview makes sense of sin, suffering, and a world that isn’t as it should be, and why our ultimate hope isn’t found in a system or philosophy, but in Jesus.     So, what's next?   New to Mountain?

Everyone sees the world through a lens, but have you ever stopped to consider what’s shaping yours? In Week 1 of Glass Half…, we explore what a worldview is, where it comes from, and why it matters more than we may realize. From culture and family to social media and entertainment, we’re constantly being shaped by ideas about who we are, what’s true, and how we should live. So how do we know if what we believe actually lines up with reality? Together, we’ll look at what it means to develop a Jesus-centered worldview and allow Him—the Way, the Truth, and the Life—to shape the way we see and live in the world.     So, what's next?

How do you respond when life gets hard? In this message from the conclusion of our Called Out series in 1 Peter 4–5, we discover that suffering doesn't have to consume us—it can refine us. Peter reminds believers that following Jesus isn't free from hardship, but God is faithful through every trial. Learn how to stand firm, find joy in the middle of suffering, and trust that God is at work, restoring all things. So, what's next? New to Mountain?

What does it mean to live as a faithful follower of Jesus in a world that often opposes His ways? In this message from 1 Peter 3, we explore Peter's call to be winsome witnesses—people who don't respond to opposition by fighting, fleeing, or freezing, but by living with humility, gentleness, and hope. Discover how God uses ordinary people, transformed by His grace, to point others to Jesus through the way they live. So, what's next? New to Mountain?

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In this message, we explore how an encounter with Christ changes everything. Looking at Peter's journey from failure to faithfulness, we'll discover that our identity isn't defined by our past, but by who Jesus says we are.

What does it mean to be truly called out? In the first message of our series, Called Out, we begin exploring 1 Peter and discover that our identity in Christ changes everything. As followers of Jesus, we are chosen, given a living hope, and called to live differently in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction. Join us as we learn what it looks like to remember who we are, stand firm in our faith, and live boldly for Christ, no matter where He has placed us.   So, what's next? New to Mountain?

Who or what are you following? In the final message of our DIY series, we look at the Bible through the story of the pillar of cloud in Exodus and discover how God has always desired to dwell with His people. When the voices of the world grow louder than the voice of God, we're reminded to follow the cloud, not the crowd. This message explores what it means to trust God's presence, surrender our own plans, and choose the One who came to rescue us.   DIY Extra: Can we Trust the Bible?
