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 that seemed completely reasonable and still cost you more than you expected, this message is for you. Because the obvious choice can still be the wrong one, and it's never too late to change direction!

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 your despair, your fear, and your questions—and invites you into new life.

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 sin, carried our curse, and made a way for us to be made new.

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.

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?

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 is practical, grounded, and built for real life.

Whether you're recovering from a hard season or want to stop reacting and start responding, this one is for you. Join us this Sunday and bring someone who could use a little more wisdom in their life.

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 heavy, something you haven't been able to name out loud or bring into the light, this message is for you. Join us this Sunday and discover that the Great Physician who diagnoses the heart is the same One who heals it.

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 united one.

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 assume a problem; let God reveal what's real.

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.

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.

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 rises, whose will is shaping your response? Join us as we learn how the gospel frees us to pray, live, and respond with patience rather than anger.

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 forms what the flesh never can.

11:50 - Where envy produces disorder, humility, sows peace
13:29 - This is how envy is one of the easiest sins for us to excuse
15:06 - Coming back to our core text, James gives us the end result of wisdom lived out in humility
15:52 - As James continues his letter, he connects the pursuit of humility with the source, which is a relationship with God

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, even when circumstances don’t change.

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'll discover the secret of contentment in every circumstance, not connected to guilt or better budgeting. 

True contentment is centred on the freedom and formation obtained through Jesus. Learn how the Spirit turns what we have into enough.

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 vice of pride, we’ll examine what’s forming our hearts and shaping our relationships.

Because Jesus humbled Himself for us, we’re free to love others without needing to elevate ourselves. As we walk by the Spirit, He shapes our character from the inside out.

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 is renewed in Him. This is a moment to pause and rest in God’s promises. Join us as we close Isaiah's Prophetic Promises with The Rest in Waiting.

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 most needed.

This Christmas Eve message invites us to consider where we need light in our own lives, and how the light of Christ continues to guide us today.

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 to send a Servant in Isaiah 42:1-4 who perfectly described Jesus. He will not come to break you or extinguish you. He comes to heal, restore, and rekindle.

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 is the Joy of Salvation. This not something the stores can sell you. It is not something that secular music artists sing about. It is not something that "Commercial Christmas" has on offer at all. 

True lasting joy is found in knowledge of and relationship with God. We are given this gift through Jesus Christ and it doesn't fade by Boxing Day but grows throughout this life and stretches into eternity.

Join us this week as we look beyond the world's version of joy to the Joy of Salvation.

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 Scripture teaches that resting in peace is found only through Jesus Christ.

If you’re carrying fear, pressure, conflict, or worry, this message will point you to the One who carries the government on His shoulders. Join us as we look to the Prince of Peace and learn how His reign brings real rest to real people in real life.

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 Christ.

KEY VERSE(S): “No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Luke 16:13, ESV)

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you have, it’s never enough? Culture tells us that more money, more stuff, and more status will make us happy. But Scripture tells us something different.

This Sunday, we’re kicking off a new series called Making Change with a message titled Less Is More. Together we’ll discover how choosing simplicity brings peace, freedom, and space for what matters most.

You’ll walk away with practical steps to cut back on what doesn’t matter and make room for what does. Don’t miss the chance to start fresh with a better way to live.

This week, we’re stepping into Joel’s vision of God’s courtroom. Joel 3 paints a sobering picture of the nations being summoned for judgment.

But right in the middle of this scene of global shaking is an incredible promise: “The Lord is a refuge to his people.” In a world where injustice seems to go unanswered, this passage assures us that God sees, God knows, and God will bring perfect justice.

And for those who belong to Him, the Judge is also our safe place. Join us as we discover how to live in the tension between God’s justice and His mercy, and why that truth can give us unshakable hope.

This week we look at a topic that we are all familiar with, judgement. We have all, no doubt, been on the receiving end of other people’s judgement before and it may be very easy for us to remember those times, and how it made us feel. In our passage from Matthew 7 we get a glimpse of how Jesus views it when we turn and judge others instead of attending to our own “stuff” first.
Jesus’ warning against judgement isn’t about ignoring wrongdoings but calls us to approach others with compassion and self-awareness, recognizing our own shortcomings, before condemning others. This teaching promotes humility and helps us foster relationships built on understanding and grace.
