Colossians Series Week 11 | Speaker Brandon Brickley | August 13th, 2023

Pastor Brandon Brickley teaches on MVC's Youth Sunday. The phrase “It takes a village.” has been reduced to parenting tips online and a platform for tired parents to vent. For Mountain View Church, it is so much more than swapping sleeping strategies and feeding rituals. Mountain View Kids & Youth Ministries aim to create a safe place for our youth to come and BE the church. Our Kid's Ministry has amazing leaders dedicated to showing up for kids so they discover that “KIDS CAN”! Our Middle & High-School Ministries come alongside our teenagers to disciple them to discover the “Life to the full” that Christ offers. This, is the village! The book of Ecclesiastes encourages the youth to “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1), and Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14). This is not just a parent thing. The “Village of MVC" is not just a youth leader or kid's volunteer thing... It is a CHURCH thing. And each of us plays a part in bringing kids to Christ. We will be celebrating what God is doing in the youth, and we will be looking at the last few verses in Colossians, where we see the early structure of the church and how it fulfills the mission of Christ.

Colossians Series Week 10 | Speaker Brandon Reed | August 6th, 2023

Pastor Brandon Reed teaches on Collosians. This journey we’ve been on through Colossians has been so rich. Paul has carefully navigated through the depth of what Christ has done in making all things new, and as he turns the corner toward home, he reminds us of Jesus invitation to partner with Him in the greatest work of sharing the story of the Gospel. And the best news yet? It’s not rocket science!

Colossians Series Week 9 | Speaker Brandon Reed | July 30th, 2023

Pastor Brandon Reed teaches on Colossians 3:22-4:1, where he explains that work is part of life. Whether you’re currently working full-time, part-time, retired or a stay at home parent, we all work in one way or another. As Paul has trimmed down to the very practical nature of what it looks like to put Jesus first in all, he shifts our focus to our work life. What does it look like to model Jesus at work? How do we put Jesus first in the marketplace? What does this look like for a stay at home parent? Welcome to Mountain View Church!

Colossians Series Week 9 | Speaker Taylor Bedoya | July 23rd, 2023

Taylor Bedoya, our Family Pastor, teaches on how our perspective changes everything. Years ago, we had taken a group of students up to a camp for a serving opportunity where they served as waiters in a restaurant. Night one went by and they were shocked…how could that have been so hard? Why were they so exhausted? What did they get themselves into? What they thought would be “easy serving” allowing them to get out and have some fun turned into a huge learning lesson. Night two was even worse! They didn’t feel they were treated like human beings, they were ordered around, they never got a chance to sit down…tough job! Night three came and they began to notice the difference between people who were kind to them compared to the people who ignored them and only cared about getting what they wanted as quickly as possible. As we sat down to debrief, they all grumbled and complained, but one kid sat up straight to share something. He said, “I know how I want to treat waiters now. I never used to ask them their name and I would sometimes feel annoyed if they didn’t get the food out quickly. But, never again. I will never treat them like that again.” Perspective shift! This reminds me of how we might walk into the close relationships we have. We all walk into relationships with a load of previous experiences and it can be easy to simply stick to what we know. To see from the lens of the past. Two in particular - our relationship with God as our Father and our relationship with our children. But, what if God has a perspective shift for us? When we remember that we are children of God and when we remember the kind of Father He is, it changes the way we parent - in fact, it changes the way we see everyone.

Colossians Series Week 7 | Speaker Brandon Reed | July 16th, 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!
