    The Idol of Platform

    We live in a world that keeps asking how many people are watching. This week in our IDOLS series, we're looking at the idol of platform; asking the question, "Are we seeking the approval of man or of God?" Whether it's a global following, a professional title, or a reputation in a small town, we can start looking to a crowd to tell us who we are and what we should value. But life is to be lived for God's glory. The crowd will never offer what Christ can guarantee. Join us this Sunday at Mountainview Church at 8:00, 9:30 or 11:00 in English or at 3:00 PM for our Filipino gathering. Series: IDOLS: Uncovering Misplaced Worship Speaker: Jeremy Norton Scripture: Galatians 1:6-10 Timestamps 00:00 - How many people do you need to notice you before you feel like you matter? 03:42 - The Apostle Paul is writing to the Christians in the city of Galatia 04:48 - Paul, before meeting Jesus, was a religious leader named Saul 07:17 - There might be a temptation to see all platforms and large followings as wrong or sinful 08:53 - God also platforms people in the marketplace and civil service 10:20 - There are far too many stories of preachers and leaders falling from the platform God has given them 11:08 - How the Idol of Platform creeps in 12:28 - If one of those descriptions hits close to home, it’s better to address it now and make changes before it becomes a habitual behaviour 15:02 - Take a moment and consider your platform 16:29 - Remember that Jesus has faced the same temptation 17:14 - Jesus had every kingdom on earth offered to Him, and He turned it down 17:58 - Prayer 18:39 - Communion 21:13 - Updates 22:40 - Discussion and Prayer Focus 23:18 - Come back next week!  #Idols #IdolOfPlatform #GodsGlory #ApprovalOfGod #Galatians1 #MountainviewChurch  Support the show

    The Idol of Work

    SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Psalms 127:1-2 (ESV) KEY VERSE: Psalms 127:1 (ESV) Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. BOTTOM LINE: Work is vanity unless God is the Builder. PROMO DESCRIPTION: We've all felt it; working so hard that you fall into bed each night, and somehow it still feels like it's not enough. Scripture has a word for that feeling: vanity, labour that leaves us empty no matter how early we rise or how late we stay up. This week in our IDOLS series, we're looking at the idol of work. Scripture tells us that unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. (Ps. 127:1) When our job becomes the source of our identity, our security, and our belonging, we've quietly asked it to be a god instead of a gift. Join us as we learn what it looks like to work hard without asking our work to save us.  #TheIdolOfWork #WorkAndFaith #FindingIdentityInGod #SabbathAndRest #Psalms127  Support the show

    The Idol of Children

    SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Psalm 127:3-5 (ESV) Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. KEY VERSE: Psalms 127:3 (ESV) 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. BOTTOMLINE: Children are a heritage from God, not a validation for parents. PROMO DESCRIPTION: Having children can bring meaning and purpose to our lives, and that's a good gift. But it also tempts us to let our identity, security, or sense of belonging start riding on how our kids turn out. We're in week two of IDOLS: Uncovering Misplaced Worship, looking at the Idol of Children. Scripture tells us that children are a heritage, given to us by God to raise and then release. We can't hold onto them forever. When a son or daughter becomes a focal point of all our devotion and adoration, it slips into a form of worship, then idolatry. Join us this Sunday as we learn how to raise our kids well without leaning on them to validate us.  #Idols #Parenting #Children #FaithAndFamily #BiblicalParenting #Psalm127  Support the show

    The Idol of Relationship

    SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Genesis 2:18-25 KEY VERSE(S): Genesis 2:24 (ESV) Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. BOTTOM LINE: A spouse can bring connection, but Christ brings completion. PROMO DESCRIPTION:Culture and media keep sending the same message: find the right person, and you'll finally feel whole, safe, and known. But is it wise to make another person the pinnacle of our existence? This week we're starting a new series called IDOLS, beginning with the idol of relationship. Genesis 2 shows us God's design for marriage: two people becoming one flesh, but never meant to carry the weight some of us are placing on it. When a spouse becomes the answer to our identity, our security, and our belonging, we've quietly asked them to be a god instead of a gift. Join us as we kick off IDOLS: Uncovering Misplaced Worship and learn what it looks like to love well without asking love to save us. #RelationshipIdol #ChristIsEnough #BiblicalMarriage #IdentityInChrist #Genesis2 #MisplacedWorship  Support the show

    They Learn the Way by Watching Us

    SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Proverbs 22:6 KEY VERSE: Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. ESV BOTTOM LINE: We train our children in the way by walking it with them but ultimately, Jesus is the Way. PROMO DESCRIPTION: What does Proverbs 22:6 actually mean when it says, “Train up a child in the way he should go”? In this message, we explore what it means to intentionally shape a child’s faith through daily example, repetition, guidance, and love. We’ll discover why children don’t just learn from what we tell them, they learn from the way we live. These Proverbs point us beyond good parenting and toward Jesus, the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.     We teach them the path, walk alongside them, and trust Jesus to guide their steps.   #ParentingAndFaith #ChristianParenting #TrainUpAChild #FaithByExample #JesusIsTheWay #Proverbs226  Support the show

    Who Has Authority Over Life and Death?

    Who gets to decide when suffering ends? The assumption in Western culture is the individual who is suffering, but for most Christians, it's more complex than that. In our final week of Questions & Answers, we're stepping into one of the hardest conversations facing Canadians today: Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). We'll learn where real comfort comes from, and what it costs to become that comfort for someone else. Then we'll close with communion, remembering the One who suffered first so His comfort could reach us. Series: Questions & Answers Speaker: Jeremy Norton Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 Timestamps 00:00 - February 2015 04:35 - Two caveats 06:28 - MAiD wouldn’t be such a conflict for Christians if Scripture clearly permitted it or laid out accepted circumstances 08:09 - ABIMELECH 09:08 - SAUL 11:44 - SAMSON 13:45 - NT and Centuries of Church History 15:25 - Fast-forward to our modern era 17:21 - The Apostle Paul’s letters contain the instruction 20:44 - How do we live this out today? 22:27 - Why? Research shows that suicidal desire is rarely permanent 25:14 - Time and resource component 29:41 - Christian worldview 32:10 - Before we take communion… 33:52 - Prayer 34:33 - Communion 37:52 - Updates 40:40 - Discussion and Prayer 41:23 - Come back next week #jesus #jesuschrist #mountainviewchurch #lifeanddeath #authority #god #lord Support the show

    Where Do Faith and Politics Meet?

    We live in a culture where every election feels like a fight for the soul of the country. It's easy to let politics start doing the job your identity was supposed to do. This week we open the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus gets handed a political trap by two groups who agreed on nothing except wanting Him gone. He answers by holding up a coin: "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." We'll talk about what it looks like to let your identity in Christ come before your loyalty to any party, and why that order matters. If you've ever felt torn between showing up for your country and staying anchored in Christ, this message is for you. Series: Questions & Answers Speaker: Jeremy Norton Scripture: Matthew 22:15-22 Timestamps 00:00 - Family gatherings can get interesting these days 04:20 - We have two groups with nothing in common 06:30 - The coin 09:34 - Political trap turned into a core teaching on identity 11:29 - The Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Roman Church 16:07 - Is this still important today? 23:13 - What does this look like in daily life? 30:13 - Back to the trap Jesus faced in the temple courts 33:13 - Our sinful nature keeps pushing us into political traps 35:05 - Prayer 35:49 - Updates 40:26 - Discussion and Prayer Focus 41:52 - Come back next week #jesus #jesuschrist #lord #god #mountainviewchurch #questionsandanswers #identity #politics #faith Support the show

    Who defines your worth?

    Scripture passage: Mark 10:42-45 Bottom Line: Greatness in his kingdom is not measured by accomplishment or staus, but by the giving of one's self. Promo:  The world is full of voices that tell us to be focused on the self first. We need to be first. We need to attain a status that others will admire. We need to be true to ourselves and what our hearts desire. We need to prioritize our own version of the truth. It is a world of self-obsession and self-worship. The irony is that we often end up judging our self-worth on the basis of what other people think of us.  What we seek is a sort of greatness, and to have others agree with us, affirm us, and admire us. These days we often demand this as if it is our right.  There is a the way of the self, but there is another way; a better way. This week join us as we look at what greatness is in the Kingdom of God, and who truly decides our value and worth.  #ChristianPodcast #BiblePodcast #Mark10 #Mark1042 #Mark1045 #KingdomOfGod #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTeaching #Faith #Jesus #JesusChrist #ChristianFaith #Gospel #BibleStudy  Support the show
