Colossians Series Week 6 | Speaker Brandon Reed | July 9th, 2023

Following Jesus doesn’t just change the spiritual parts of our life. Being a Christian doesn’t just shape the religious aspects of life. In Colossians, Paul says, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17) This week, Brandon Reed is going to look at how Jesus shapes some of the most important relationships in our life. Whether you’re whether you’re single, married, newlyweds, longtime relationship, parents, single parents, never parents, about to be parents… Welcome to Mountain View Church!

Colossians Series Week 5 | Speaker Jody Giles | July 2nd, 2023

Freedom rules! We love our freedom and liberty! But there’s a paradox about freedom: in exercising our freedoms we can lose our freedoms. If you have a vehicle, some fuel, and a license, you are free to drive anywhere you want. But to maintain your freedom to drive anywhere you want, you must follow rules: for example, which side of the road to use and how to act at intersections. If you were to say “I don’t have to obey that red light, because I have freedom” you would likely lose your driving freedom very quickly in a traffic accident. Even worse, you would probably hurt somebody else while exercising your driving freedom, thereby depriving them of their freedom. Freedom is essential to our faith. "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free!" Thus far in our study of the letter to the church of Colossae, Paul has been emphasizing freedom from rules. But as we start chapter 3 this weekend, Paul is going to give us a few rules, not to earn our freedom, but to keep our freedom. Freedom rules! Welcome to Mountain View Church!

Colossians Series Week 4 | Speaker Brandon Reed | June 25th, 2023

Have you ever heard good news and thought, “Good for them!” While you felt good for them, you really wished that the good news was about you. Paul wrote a letter to a church in Colassae that was riddled with pressure from all sides. Everyone had a different idea of what would supplement the Gospel so that they could level up spiritually. In a sense, they were saying Jesus isn’t really enough for you. Pastor Brandon Reed has some good news for YOU…actually, Paul does in Colossians. Jesus changes EVERYTHING!

Colossians Series Week 3| Speaker Brandon Reed | June 18th, 2023

Everybody asks two basic questions in life: Who am I? Why am I here? I’m not talking about birth certificate questions or why you call South Orange County, CA home. I just love the book of Colossians because it covers these two questions clearly and concisely. Maybe you’ve asked yourself these questions. Maybe you’ve never asked the questions in this way…but I want to invite you to wrestle through this over the weekend as we answer them biblically from Colossians. I’ve been asked many times since we arrived last weekend - “What are you preaching your first message on?” I’m just so excited to pick up in the middle of our series walking through the book of Colossians that reminds us that Jesus is EVERYTHING!

Colossians Series Week 2 | Brandon Brickley | June 11th, 2023

Hello everyone, Brick here...

I had a friend in high school who was a great guy, and I remember him for two reasons:

1. His nickname was Bird because of his striking resemblance to PBS’ Big Bird.
2.  He had terrible eyesight.

I felt for him and the whole eyesight thing because I hung with him enough to see him in a few situations when he didn’t have his prescription glasses on. I remember one time at the beach when he was about to go surfing (which he couldn’t do with his glasses on) and forgot his keys in his pocket. He remembered them when he was about to enter the water and ran back up the shore to put them with his friends. He ran up to who he thought were his friends because he couldn’t see, but it was a bunch of random high school girls. They laughed, and boy, was he embarrassed—tough stuff for a high school boy.

Bird relied heavily on his glasses. It changed how he saw things… The lenses made him see clearly and accurately. I’ve been learning a lot about the lenses through which we see things and what we call a “worldview”. I am convinced this is a big deal and is at the center of so much division & confusion in our society, and even the church.

The book of Colossians gives us lenses at the core of a biblical worldview. It allows us to make sense of what is. Let's dive in!

Colossians Series Week 1 | Speaker Gina Stockton | June 4th, 2023

Today we kick off a 12 week series on the Book of Colossians. This book is actually a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the early Christian Church in the city of Colossai (located in modern day Turkey). It contains a lot of great wisdom on how we can live our lives as Christians. Let's dive in!
