In Genesis 15, God makes a covenant with Abram, but before the promise is fulfilled, scavenger birds descend on the sacrificial offering. Abram chases them away, a seemingly small act that holds deep spiritual significance. Just as Abram had to protect God's covenant, we too must guard our faith against distractions and doubts that seek to undermine God's promises. Drawing from The Lion King, the sermon explores how shame and fear, like Scar’s lies to Simba, can push us away from God’s call. But just as Abram stood firm, we are called to trust in God’s faithfulness, knowing that His promises endure beyond our present struggles.

Jesus’ ascension is a pivotal moment in the Christian faith, marking His exaltation and the continuation of God’s plan. In Luke 24, after blessing His disciples, Jesus is taken up into heaven, leaving them filled with joy and worship. This event parallels Elijah’s ascension in 2 Kings 2, where Elisha witnesses his master taken into heaven and receives a double portion of his spirit. Likewise, Jesus’ ascension prepares the way for the coming of the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to continue His mission. Just as the Old Testament points to Christ, the ascension affirms His divine authority and reign. It is not merely an ending but a commissioning—calling us to proclaim His kingdom with joy, knowing He reigns and intercedes for us.

After His resurrection, Jesus appears to His disciples and opens their minds to understand the Scriptures, revealing that His suffering, death, and resurrection were always God’s plan. He commissions them to proclaim repentance and forgiveness to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. But before they go, He instructs them to wait for the promised Holy Spirit—the power they will need to be His witnesses. This passage challenges us to see Jesus in all of Scripture, embrace our role as witnesses, and rely on God’s timing and power rather than our own strength. Just as the disciples needed the Spirit to fulfill their mission, we too must depend on Him to boldly proclaim the gospel. As we reflect, we should ask God to open our minds to His Word and empower us to faithfully share the good news of Christ with the world.

The prophecy in Daniel 9 highlights God’s precise control over history, pointing to the arrival of Jesus as the Messiah, fulfilling promises down to specific dates. Exile is a central theme throughout the Bible, representing humanity’s condition of longing for true home and restoration. Even today, believers live as exiles, awaiting Jesus’ return and the fulfillment of God’s kingdom. The message calls for trust in God’s plan, finding hope in His faithfulness, and living with confidence that He is in control.

In Daniel's visions, God reveals His control over history, calling us to stand firmly on His truth and find hope rather than fear. Just as Jesus warned against obsessing over signs, we're encouraged to focus on God’s ultimate plan rather than getting lost in details. While the future holds mysteries, we’re called to trust God, live confidently, and worship Him, knowing His truth and greater purpose stand firm beyond what we can fully understand.

Daniel’s unyielding faith under threat shows the strength of a life deeply anchored in God’s identity and kingdom rather than earthly power. His consistent prayer life models resilience, pointing us toward a focus on God’s wisdom, hope, and power. Amid challenges, we’re called to pray not for easy paths but for strength to live out the values of Jesus' kingdom, trusting in God's ultimate authority. This approach subverts earthly empires, affirming Christ as sovereign over all powers and principalities.

This message from Mountainside Church delves into Daniel 5, emphasizing the absolute nature of God.

In this episode, we are taken the powerful story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from Daniel chapter 3. We explore their unwavering faith in the face of persecution and the fiery furnace, highlighting the importance of identity in worship and the themes of forced conformity versus harmonious unity, drawing parallels between the Babylonian empire and modern societal pressures. How can we, as followers of Christ, resist creating our own "Babylons" by focusing on essential truths and fostering a diverse unity centered around God. Let us examine our deepest desires and affections and be challenged to identify and resist counterfeit gods, emphasizing that true worship is about prioritizing our relationship with God above all else.

While human wisdom has its limits, there is a God in heaven who is actively involved in His creation. Daniel's faith and calmness, in contrast to the fear and trembling of the Babylonian wise men, underscore the importance of knowing who God is to understand who we are and what our purpose is.

Through Daniel’s story, we discuss the importance of knowing who God is to understand who we are, and how our identity in God shapes our actions and purpose.

You are reading your Bible wrong! We often read the Bible with the right intentions but use less than helpful methods, treating it like a textbook or reference guide. Instead, we should approach it as a living story, written for us but not to us. The Bible was crafted in a different time and culture, meant to guide us towards God, not just provide direct answers. While our natural instincts about seeking truth, wisdom, and God’s voice in Scripture are good, we must read it holistically and contextually to fully grasp its transformative power. Just read it!

Join us as we uncover the importance of the scriptures, not as a mere law book or instruction manual, but as a life-giving, transformative narrative that leads us to Jesus Christ.

This episode is a call to fall in love with the Word of God, to meditate on it, and to let it shape our lives.

Our mission is to be a place where Heaven meets Earth, proclaiming the universal reign of God, embodying Jesus to our community, and inviting our neighbors to join us in becoming real people, who are part of a real family, and who worship the real God. We are God's image-bearers and Jesus as the firstborn of all creation redefines community and discipleship for us. And so, living out our faith practically urges us to invite others into God's story and prioritize His mission.

To embody Christ, we must walk in Him, rooted in His teachings, built up in His love, and established in His faith. This looks like living out the Sermon on the Mount, loving our enemies, praying for those who persecute us, giving to the needy, fasting, and seeking first the kingdom of God. It looks like bearing the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. It looks like being a community that reflects the character of Christ, pursuing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with our God.

This message is a compelling call to action for believers to prioritize their relationship with God, share their faith boldly, and make divine guidance the cornerstone of their daily lives. Prioritize God in all aspects of your life, as He is infinitely more important than any worldly concern. Live out the Gospel by letting your actions reflect Christ's teachings and love. Share the Gospel intentionally, seeking opportunities for real conversations that lead to gospel discussions. Serve others, disciple them, and obey the Holy Spirit's guidance. Our mission is to spread God's love and salvation to all, fulfilling the Great Commission and bringing hope to the lost.

The mission of the church is to create a space where Heaven meets Earth. The vision is for God's presence to overlap with our lives, transforming our world and ultimately leading to a renewed creation where God dwells with His people. Jesus' life, death, and resurrection make this possible, and believers are called to actively participate in this mission until the Earth reflects Heaven.

We need to understand and embrace our mission: to make disciples by embodying Jesus in our communities and proclaiming God's universal reign. This involves living out our faith authentically, inviting others to join us in worship and community. Actively seek to align our life with God's purpose, impacting the world for His glory.

Paul gives in his final exhortations of 1 Corinthians four ingredients to make irresistible disciples. " Wake up!" That is, stay vigilant. Be on the alert. "Stand up!" Seize what is already yours! Retain it. Don't let it go! Don't go back on what God has already given you! "Grow up!" Is the trend in your life and actions moving toward an increased likeness to Jesus? And "pray it up!" Tough times lay ahead. We need the Spirit of God at work in our lives, strengthening us. All four of these commands are to be done drenched in the atmosphere of unconditional, self-sacrificing, God-enabled love we just read a few weeks back in chapter 13.

A life devoted to God and His work is not wasted. By focusing our lives on living for Jesus, becoming like Jesus, telling all peoples in all places about Jesus and demonstrating Him in the way we live, we ensure our lives have eternal significance. Everything done for the Lord, no matter how small, is meaningful and contributes to a rich, fulfilling existence. Therefore, devote yourself fully to God's work, live selflessly, and share the Gospel, knowing that nothing done for His glory is ever wasted.

Use spiritual gifts to edify the church, focusing on gifts that strengthen, encourage, and comfort others. This process is part of being conformed into the image of God. Each gift is an expression of God's love, intended to foster faith in others. Grow together in Christ-likeness and unity, building a strong, unified community of faith. This mutual growth and support are essential for creating a supportive and spiritually vibrant church.

The essence of true love, as described in the Bible, is a self-sacrificing nature known as agape love. This love is patient, kind, and selfless, standing in contrast to cultural norms of reciprocity and self-interest. Genuine love requires humility, endurance, and prioritizing others' spiritual well-being over personal gain. The repeated lesson is that true love is humble, others-focused, and enduring, reflecting God's boundless love for humanity. "Love dies" signifies the need to die to self, preference, and injustice for the sake of others.

Spiritual gifts are not about individual talents or recognition but about expressions of love empowered by the Holy Spirit to strengthen the faith of others. Each person is uniquely gifted to serve the body of Christ, and these gifts should be used selflessly to foster unity and mutual encouragement within the community. The focus is on loving and serving others, making God's love manifest through our actions, and recognizing that every member's contribution is valuable and essential to the health of the body.

In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul emphasizes the inherent dignity and honor in being a woman, asserting that both men and women are created in God's image, thus possessing equal value and purpose. He highlights the distinctiveness of gender roles, encouraging the celebration, not elimination, of these differences. The relationship within the Trinity, where Christ submits to God while being equal, exemplifies that authority does not equate to inequality. Therefore, men and women, while different, are interdependent and equal, each fulfilling unique, God-honoring roles.

Today we celebrate the beauty and honor of womanhood in God's economy of equality. In prayer, prioritize humility and submission to God's word. Acknowledge the limitations of human understanding and guard against imposing personal interpretations on Scripture. Seek understanding and guidance from God's word with humility, allowing it to shape and transform your heart. Embrace difficult passages rather than avoiding or distorting them, recognizing that all of Scripture is for your growth and understanding, even if it challenges cultural norms or personal preferences.

1 Corinthians chapter 10 concludes the first part of a series on love, emphasizing the importance of selflessness and unity in Christian fellowship. Paul addresses the Corinthians' misuse of communion, warning against idolatry and selfishness. Communion symbolizes participation in Christ's body and should be approached with reverence and consideration for others. It's a declaration of faith, unity, and devotion to God, reminding us to prioritize our relationship with Him and our love for others above all else.

We are compelled by Christ's love to live a life of giving, sacrifice, and love. We prioritize the Gospel over personal gain. We invest in God's mission. Sacrifice is defined as giving up what we love for something we love more. Ultimately, love for Christ and His mission should drive all our actions, leading us to a transformed life. The prize pursued is sharing the blessings of the Gospel, motivates believers to live purposefully pursuing faith and joy for others.

Knowledge alone is not enough; it must be coupled with love. Right knowing leads to right loving. The Corinthians' concern over idolatry revealed their broken knowing. True knowing, real love, embodied in the love God has shown us, is crucial, as it reveals God's love to the world. Loving our brothers means prioritizing their spiritual well-being over our desires. And to truly understand love, we must fix our gaze on God, the only one worthy of our fixation.

There are many important Biblical events that take place on the tops of mountains. These stories shape our lives and call us to step into a deeper relationship with God who has gone through such lengths to enter into a relationship with those who fall short of His glory. He is after our hearts. Jesus is better and invites us into a better way of living.

The resurrection isn't just a past event; it offers present transformation and hope. Believing in Jesus brings spiritual rebirth and empowers believers to face life's challenges. The central question remains: Do you believe?

Is Jesus the King you want because one thin is for sure, He is the King you need.

See the potential in your present place. Stay Put. Stay committed and rooted in your current season. There is value in enduring through difficulties, trusting in God's providence, and finding hope in the midst of suffering. The message encourages perseverance, recognizing that growth and fruitfulness come from staying put rather than constantly seeking change or escape.

Singleness, as highlighted by Paul in Corinthians, is a gift from God, offering undivided devotion to Him. It's not a state of loneliness, nor is marriage its ultimate cure. Fulfillment comes from knowing and loving God above all else. Cherish singleness, seek God's purpose, and embrace the gift it offers.

This teaching emphasizes the importance of intimacy in various relationships, particularly within marriage. It highlights the significance of sexual intimacy as a reflection of covenant vows and stresses mutual fulfillment and communication in marriage. Additionally, it warns against the dangers of neglecting sexual intimacy in marriage and advocates for open communication and addressing any issues to strengthen the relationship. Overall, it underscores the value of intimacy, trust, and vulnerability in building a healthy marriage relationship.

In the Gospel, our identities are reshaped by Christ's redemption. Amidst societal complexities where pleasure often overshadows spirituality, slogans like "All things are lawful for me" arise. Paul's wisdom reminds us: freedom in Christ doesn't justify all actions. Our bodies, temples of the Holy Spirit, call us to honor God in choices, recognizing the eternal impact of our actions. Let's embrace this call, fleeing immorality, and allowing the Gospel to transform every aspect of our lives.

The message emphasizes the significance of avoiding offense and refraining from causing it. It advocates for a mindset of forgiveness and empathy, acknowledging that conflicts will arise but should not disrupt fellowship. By being open to feedback, promptly extending forgiveness, and abstaining from escalating minor disagreements, believers can foster unity and showcase the love and grace they've experienced through salvation.

The series explores Christian fellowship, emphasizing oneness among disciples. Focused on 1 Corinthians 5, it addresses church discipline for individuals and the entire church. Discipline, promoting redemption and preserving purity, counters the destructive nature of unaddressed sin. It also underscores how the world perceives Christianity based on the church's actions.

Ultimately, serving a real God means more than acknowledging His existence; it involves understanding and aligning one's life with the profound reality that God represents, embracing Him as the ultimate source and sustainer of all existence. It calls for a commitment to live authentically, reflecting the values and principles derived from God as ultimate reality.
