Generosity (video)

By Church
Science backs up what God already knew: Generous people are happier people. Stingy people live with a constant strain and stress, trying to hold on to what really doesn’t belong to them anyway. We believe that being generous is not only good for you, but also what God expects from us. To really change the world will require generous people.Watch more videos at the Mountainview YouTube channel. Looking for a Speaking Coach?

Stewardship (video)

By Church
Unfortunately, many Christians believe in the idea of stewardship but behave like they are owners. A steward is someone who has been entrusted with the care and management of someone else’s possessions. The biblical view of finances is not that we are owners, but stewards. As a steward I will have to give an account of how I managed God’s resources. This fundamental distinction is critical to living a life of faith.Watch more videos at the Mountainview YouTube channel.

Relying on God (video)

By Church
God created us with free will. That means we have the ability to choose our path, priorities, and pursuits. Jesus taught us that God takes care of those who seek him first. Rather than believe that, we often act like the pagans – chasing after things that we believe will bring lasting peace and satisfaction (things that only God can provide). While we know that God will take care of us, we often act like it all depends on us.Watch more videos at the Mountainview YouTube channel. Looking for a Speaking Coach?

Reliance on God

By Church
Throughout November, we’re exploring four ways that God wants to change our perspective about finances. These life-shaping values include contentment, stewardship, generosity and - I’ll be honest - what we’re talking about today may be the hardest lesson to learn. I know it was for me. What is it? It this: We grow spiritually by learning to rely more on God. On the surface, it seems obvious. No one could grow spiritually by decreasing their dependance on God. But it's easier said that done. I believe God created us with free will. But what exactly does that mean? In practical terms, it means we have the ability to choose our path, priorities, and pursuits. And for many years, that’s exactly what I did. I chose MY path, MY priorities, and MY pursuits. As a result, I often operated in MY OWN power. Rather than solve MY problems, it often created…

Open Doors (video)

By Church
Paul closes by asking the Colossians to pray for him. He specifically asks that God open a door for the gospel message and that Paul will proclaim it well. We should be praying the same things today. One way God opens doors is through our interactions with “outsiders” – those who do not believe in Jesus. Our interactions will either lead to further conversation and the opportunity to share Jesus or they will close the door. Therefore, Paul commands us to have conversations that are full of grace (including social media). Through prayer and spiritual development, we will be able to provide helpful answers.Watch more videos at the Mountainview YouTube channel. Looking for a Speaking Coach?
