    Deceptive Diagnosis

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

    Faithfulness vs Apathy

    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.    Series: Virtues & Vices Speaker: Herber Campos Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30 Timstamps 00:00 - What if, at the end of your life, the greatest regret is not what you did wrong; but what you never did at all? 06:38 - Context of Matthew 25:14-30 09:42 - Context of the Parable 11:09 - Definition of Faithfulness 12:18 - Definition of Apathy 12:36 - Definition of Talent 14:07 - Key lessons from Matthew 25:14-30 22:30 - The Judgement 26:28 - Faithfulness shows in doing, not just knowing 28:23 - Summary 29:29 - Conclusion 31:10 - Prayer 32:11 - Updates 32:47 - Discussion & Prayer Focus #jesus #jesuschrist #mountainviewchurch #vices #virtues #faithfulness #apathy Support the show

    Purity vs. Lust

    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 Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 Timstamps 00:00 - Purity 06:06 - Why did the ancient Israelites so often make blood sacrifices to God? 09:02 - “The wages of sin is death.” 11:46 - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 14:00 - 1 Thessalonians 4:3 16:19 - 1 Thessalonians 4:4 17:18 - 1 Thessalonians 4:5-6 20:25 - 1 Thessalonians 4:7 21:40 - 1 Thessalonians 4:8 24:58 - Romans 6:23 26:52 - The call for us is that same as Paul’s call to the Thessalonians church in his letter 30:03 - Prayer 30:52 - Updates 31:45 - Discussion & Prayer Focus #faith #mountainviewchurch #jesuschrist #hope #forgiveness #vices #virtues #purity #lust Support the show

    Self-Control vs. Indulgence

    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. Series: Virtues & Vices Speaker: Jeremy Norton Scripture: Titus 2 Timstamps 00:00 - Small desires have the power to gradually take our freedom 05:27 - Historical context 6:56 - Unpacking these verses 07:25 - Self-control is a virtue that should be passed down from generation to generation 08:10 - Breaking down Paul’s specific instruction for each demographic 14:45 - What does indulgence look like? 15:51 - Top five indulgences in modern Western society 27:36 - How do we actually live this way? 29:44 - If you’re worn down and stuck in cycles of impulse, God’s grace is available to you right here, right now 32:21 - Prayer 33:07 - Updates 36:15 - Discussion & Prayer Focus 37:28 - Come back next week! #jesuschrist #jesus #virtues #vices #mountainviewchurch #selfcontrol #indulgence Support the show

    Patience vs. Anger

    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 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.  #Ephesians4  #BibleTeaching  #ScriptureStudy  #GodsWord  #BiblicalTruth  #BibleVerse  Support the show

    Humility vs. Envy

    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 forms what the flesh never can. Series: Virtues & Vices Speaker: Jeremy Norton Scripture: James 3:13–18 Timstamps 00:00 - Have you ever caught yourself scrolling through your social feed, wondering why everyone’s life looks better than yours? 04:12 - Some of you may not know that James was actually one of Jesus’ younger brothers 05:40 - Looking at our core text from James’ letter, he asks a question related to wisdom 08:49 - This same pattern still plays out today, even if it looks a little more polished 10:06 - But then James adds the contrasting statement: 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 16:36 - James ends his letter with a final encouragement and a forward focus 19:17 - As we consider the humility of Jesus’ sacrifice for us, it seems fitting to pause and take communion together 23:48 - Updates 27:22 - Discussion & Prayer Focus #jeuschrist #jesus #faith #mountainviewchurch #virtues #vices #humility #envy Support the show

    Joy vs. Despair

    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, even when circumstances don’t change. Series: Virtues & Vices Speaker: Jeremy Norton Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7–18 Timstamps 00:00 - Some mornings, you wake up, and you dread the day ahead 05:41 - Paul writes this letter from the middle of pressure, loss, and weariness 10:13 - We can learn from Paul that despair may come 10:44 - Now, experiencing despair after a crisis is to be expected 14:59 - And this brings us back to our text and Paul’s situation 19:56 - Despair, like any vice, has its foundation in sin 23:22 - So, the invitation today isn’t to deny pain or force joy 25:51 - From now on, whenever Despair says, “This is the end,” let Jesus remind you, “God is still at work” 26:15 - Prayer 26:56 - Updates 28:12 - Discussion and Prayer Focus 29:03 - Come back next week #jesus #jesuschrist #joy #despair #virtues #vices #mountainviewchurch Support the show

    Gratitude vs. Greed

    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'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.   #GratitudeVsGreed  #VirtuesAndVices  #SundaySermon  #SermonSeries  #BiblicalTeaching #MountainviewChurch #God Support the show
