About Sunday

Yesterday was a great day at Mountain View. I never get tired of worshipping our Lord with all of you.

  • Jennifer and Lori lit it up with the band yesterday. I especially thought the John Mayer song at the end was fitting and very true.
  • Many of you came forward after the service for prayer. Most of you were asking God to take away the bitterness you have allowed to imprison you for years. I do believe that God heard your prayers and a mighty break thru is on the way. Just keep trusting Him and keep surrendering your feelings of anger and bitterness to Jesus for healing.
  • Gabriella's dedication was beautiful! Amber and Tyler have been truly blessed with two great children.
  • Good to see a larger crowd at the 11:00 service. The numbers for 9:30 are still below our potential. Who have you invited to church lately? An invitation to church is a very easy way to share your faith.
  • James McDonald said this about sharing your faith: You've got to have it before you'll share it. There's got to be something that fills you up so full that it overflows from you before it flows to someone else. You're not going to give anything to anybody else until you are filled up with it yourself.You can't tell others about Jesus Christ until you yourself are fully satisfied with Him, until your faith wells up in you with, "It is awesome what He has done in my life! Where would I be without Him?!" Then you'll be like the apostles John and Peter who said in Acts 4:20, "For we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard." John and Peter are like, "We have it; that's why we share it."
  • I wish we had less people with the attitude of consumerism when it comes to their faith and more people that were so overflowing with the love of Jesus that they can't help but tell others about Him and give their faith away.
  • Deer hunting was great last week, but being with my faith family is even better.
  • Lynn is doing much better. Thanks for your prayers. The vertigo has subsided and she was able to go be with her kids at school today.
  • I'm looking forward to the new message series. The first sermon is about death and eternity. Invite someone to attend with you.
