Welcome to week two of our series, “Leaving the Wilderness” where we’re studying the Israelites wilderness journey and the lessons they learned, as a parallel for our journey through the wilderness over the past two years. As a reminder, our goals for this series are to… - Acknowledge the pain of the past two years. - Allow God to heal our wounds. - Assess the road ahead of us. - Aim for a healthy, unified future. #LeavingtheWilderness #Wilderness #God #Lord #Jesus #Israelites...

This week, we’re starting a new series titled “Leaving the Wilderness” studying the Israelites exit from the wilderness, the hard lessons they learned as a parallel to lessons we can learn, leaving our wilderness experience. This is an important moment for our church and for you. Over the next month we will acknowledge the pain of the past two years, allow God to heal our wounds, so that we can assess the road ahead of us, and aim for a healthy, unified future. #Church #COVID #God...

Happy Father’s Day! Join us this week as we delve into some of the responsibilities that God has set before all the dads out there. We will look at examples in scripture that highlight four of the many tasks dads have in the raising of children and also touch on what today’s dads face on the job. Children are a blessing from God and dads have a huge role to play in seeing those children through to adulthood. A father is to lead, teach, protect and love his children and our hats are off to...

Many of us read Scripture and pray, and even build in time for reflection. But how often to we embrace extended silence for God to speak? We might be missing a deeper level of spiritual encounter with the Holy Spirit. God’s voice speaking to our hearts and minds within the silence. And this deeper encounter is available to everyone…even you! This Sunday, we tackled our 20th and final message in our Heroes of Faith series. Our last hero is Samuel whose faith was strengthened by his fervent...

"Who’s your hero? Who do you look up to and admire? This week’s Hero of Faith (from Hebrews 11) is a man by the name of David. David's faith and courage consistently pointed people to the One True God. And David's life and legacy points us to the Son of God, Jesus Christ." #Hero #Heroes #HeroOfFaith #FaithHeroes #Hebrews #Hebrews11 #David #Jesus #Lord #Jesus #Christ #Admire #Courage Mountainview Church carries the necessary Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) license to play...

"Have you ever been rejected or wrongly mistreated? How does it feel? It stings doesn't it? It hurts! It wounds us and we experience anger, frustration, and sorrow. If not dealt with, that wound can fester into bitterness, and that bitterness can grow into a grudge. As we continue in our Heroes of Faith series, we come to a man by the name of Jephthah. Although he was rejected and treated terribly by his own family, he chose to be faithful to God and help them in their time of...

Many temptations begin with a want. We see something or someone that looks attractive and enticing. That want, if we let it linger unchecked, can grow into lust; lust for status, lust for power, or lust for pleasure. If we don’t stop this progression, our lustful desires will become lustful decisions, leading to a loss of legacy. As we continue our Heroes of Faith series, from Hebrews 11, we’ll explore the life and trials of a man named Samson. A man who God had blessed with so much but he...

You’re at a crossroads in life. You're facing a decision to make, a conversation to have, a direction to take. Maybe, it's been initiated by the call of God. Internally, what happens next? Most of us go looking for affirmation and advice. In that moment, who will we seek out to join us at the crossroads? This Sunday, we'll study the Hero of Faith, Barak. A man who was at a major crossroads in life; chosen to command God’s army. Barak knew his call but needed affirmation. To whom did he...

Moms! They are so important and don’t get nearly enough credit for the efforts they give in carrying a child and then raising that child. Our Western culture sets aside one day a year to celebrate them but they deserve more. They deserve to be recognized every day because they are giving of themselves every day and often their efforts go unnoticed. Today we attempt to honour Mothers and give glory to God for his perfect design. #Moms #Mothers #Mother #MothersDay #God #Jesus #Glory #Giving...

God calls people to live difficult lived, there is no way around it. A life of faith entails self-sacrifice. It entails sharing the Gospel with people who often reject it and you as a messenger. We are called to live lives that honor God, despite the negative effects that may have on our reputation. Let's face it, being actively Christian and being obedient to the word of God is going to cost you. This week we're looking at the call and faith of a man named Gideon. He had an incredible...

We live in a fallen world. We are surrounded by people struggling just to get by in a world that beats them down and just takes. We are those people. The world is full of false hopes and idols that make big promises but do nothing to fill the empty void in our hearts. We all grasp at these but there is only one hope that will deliver and that is the hope offered by God. We are surrounded by evidence of God’s glory in creation and are ourselves evidence of it. The question is what do we do...

We invite you to join in with us in celebration of Jesus' resurrection! It is a time where we gather to proclaim that Jesus is alive, and acknowledge that His victory over sin and death is not just a nice story, but a historic event! For nearly two thousand years, Christians have been committing their lives to Jesus and making incredible sacrifices for the sake of the Gospel, and it's all been made possible because Jesus is alive! Today we are going to attempt to go back in time and fill...

We invite you this Good Friday to come examine the death of Jesus as we provide some reasons and explore why more people do not follow Jesus. #Crucifixion #FollowJesus #GoodFriday #Jesus #Christ #JesusChrist #Life #Heaven #God #Church #Christianity #Gospel #Forgiveness #Lord #Heaven #Faith #Bible Mountainview Church carries the necessary Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) license to play and perform the contained Christian worship songs.

Do you know what Palm Sunday is? If you don’t, you aren’t alone. It is a part of what is known as Holy Week but receives less focus than Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It is the day that commemorates Jesus entry into Jerusalem which would begin the week when he would fulfill his purpose on earth. The people of Jerusalem were excited their Messiah had come and lined his path with palm leaves ( a well known symbol of victory). The next 2 Sundays we will take a break from our Heroes of Faith...

What comes to mind when you think of the Bible? What would you say the purpose of the Bible is? How do your answers to these questions affect how you actually read the Bible? First and foremost, the Bible exists to reveal God and His glory to us! And God reveals this to us by telling us an incredible story. A true story of how He has worked in the world for the good of people for thousands of years. There are a ton of stories in the Bible, but none of them stand on their own - they are all...

Gods calls and the faithful answer. This week we dive into the life of Moses and see where he came from and where God would call him to his purpose. Like a lot of us, he needed a little push in the right direction but when he accepted his purpose God used him in a powerful way and a nation was delivered from bondage. #Jesus #Bible #God #Hebrews #Hebrews11 #Moses #Egypt #Journey #Peace #Trust #Promiseland #Genesis #Israel # #Faith #Heroes #FaithHeroes #Church #CallUpon Mountainview Church...

We all know what it's like to have our plans derailed. One of the biggest challenges we face is planning our next steps in life, only to find out that those plans simply won't work out. Whether they are plans for work, relationships, where we'll live or whether or not we'll purchase a home, it's really challenging to find out that they aren't going to happen. In our lives, we're going to have our plans for ourselves interrupted a lot, so one of the important questions we need to ask is "How...

We like to think that we have life handled and under control. Maybe not all the time, but generally speaking we think our way of doing things is the best way. We want to be the masters of our own domain and we definitely don’t like the idea of anyone else that we need to answer to. Even when that someone else is God. This week we look at Jacob. A man who would do almost anything to get ahead and insisted on trying to control his own destiny. He was willing to cheat to get what he wanted and...

Everyone knows what it's like to have family drama! Whether we mean to or not, sometimes we just don't get along. Sometimes we do things we shouldn't on purpose, but more often than not, we're more focused on what we want and need than on what others want and need. Often when we hurt someone we love, it's not because we meant to, but simply because we weren't being considerate. Trying to navigate these relationships is hard, and every situation is different. There aren't many easy answers...
