With the Olympics happening right now, we often hear how this athlete is the best or that athlete is the greatest. But what exactly does it mean to be the greatest? What is the criteria in order to be determined as the greatest? Truth is, these questions are going to be answered differently in the world of the Olympics than they are in the Bible. As we continue to learn and study through the book...

How do you handle life when it seems it isn't going your way? When we encounter moments and circumstances that do not line up with our expectations of my Christian life, we are often left with doubts about our journey, calling, choices, etc. It may be when a tragedy hits or when we pray for someone that we hope will be healed and they are not. We are left with questions about God's goodness and po...

There are times when we see someone's faith and it truly amazes us. Maybe that person stepped out of their comfort zone to follow the Lord's leading, moved to a far away place for a call to missions or started a ministry. Often, we stand in awe at these moments of faith and obedience in someone's life. But what kind of faith is God Himself amazed at? When does He marvel at His children's faith? As...

We welcome our former Pastor, Dr. Robert Crosby and his wife, Pastor Pam Crosby, back to Burlington. Dr. Crosby reminds us of the value of hope especially in the face of hopelessness. Listen in as he challenges us to hold on to the Handle of Hope!

In churches all around the country and around the world, you will hear the Word of God preached. It comes to people through the words of people on the streets, through friends and family, through all sorts of media. However, with the Word all around us, why is it that only a few people respond to it? How do you and I ensure that we are responding to the Gospel in the right way? Join us as we consi...

As we look around at what is happening around us today, it is easy to ask ourselves, "What is wrong with this world?" But maybe it isn't the world, but rather, the heart of mankind that lives in the world. The truth is, all that we see happening around us has to do what is coming from the heart. Jesus, in the book of Luke, teaches us the importance of the fruit that we are bearing in our lives. Th...

We often encounter people who treat us unfairly. Whether it's an unkind word, a slight in a relationship, a coworker who badmouths you in order to get ahead, or a family member who treated you in horrible way, these things have a way of shaking us. In moments like this, it is easy to treat them in kind. It is easy to be unfair and unkind to those who treat us that way. However, to live an unshakab...

A desire many of us have in common is the desire for joy. We work hard to live lives that bring us joy. However, to achieve this, we often pursue the things that make us happy. The reality is, this happiness is often short-lived and leave us wanting and working for more. We also realize that happiness is fickle. It is so often driven by our circumstances. So how do you and I live with unshakable j...

We've all experienced circumstances in life that cause us concern, make us a worry, or maybe even truly shake us. So, how do we live a life that is unshakeable when circumstances are difficult? How do we build a solid foundation so that we are able to stand firmly? This week, as we dive back into the book of Luke, we take a look at scripture where Jesus teaches us, as Christians, what it truly mea...

This last year has drawn people into taking sides on virtually every issue about race, health, politics, and much more. In this chaos what role does the Church play? Do we choose sides? If so, how do we decide what side to be on or are we called to something different? In such a world, how do you and I live? Join us as we consider what God call us to and how Mount Hope may lead in this space.

We often miss things that happen around us because they happen in ways that we weren't expecting. Often when God moves, He moves in ways we do not expect. He does things in the lives of His people in ways they do not see coming. But the danger is that we as Christ followers miss God moving. How do we prevent this from happening? Join us as we continue to explore the Mission in the book of Luke

Out of necessity, we are now able to close deals, see the doctor, checkin with our families, attend concerts from home. This last year has helped us hone our remote work and remote relationship abilities. However, there are somethings that require us to show up in person. There are somethings that require a personal touch. The mission that Jesus calls us to requires us to live in relationship in-p...

When we are ill, so often the symptoms are not the real issue. There is something within us that is causing us to become sick. While we often seek healing for the symptoms, the doctor seeks to fix the underlying problem. When we come to Jesus, He always seeks to fix the root problem. What does that look like in our lives? Join us as we continue in the book of Luke.

Don't the movies of the underdog captivate us? We find ourselves engrossed in their story and pulling for each and every one that is on the team. In each story of the underdog, there is a common thread. We watch as the team of individuals becomes one team with one common goal. As we continue along in the book of Luke, this week we observe a group of people that had been following Jesus but were st...

God has done some incredible things in our lives. We all have stories of the change and the transformation we have experienced after meeting Jesus. You and I aren't meant to keep that to ourselves. But how and where do we take our story? Jesus had a story to tell. He went from city to city telling it. Join us as we look at how Jesus took His story on the road as we consider how we do the same with...

We often take what's ours and what's familiar for granted. It may be the latest devices that when we got it, we were so excited to have, but now it's familiar and tired. Or the relationship that we're in. When it first started, it was exciting and full of life, but now it seems like we've settled into a rut. Familiar things are often taken for granted. But there is a danger to that. Jesus was take...

Life is full of interruptions. There isn't usually a day that goes by that an interruption doesn't show itself in one way or another. Wherever we face them, at work or at home, we have particular reactions and responses to them. But what about disruptions? Do we have the same response to disruptions that we do to interruptions? Is there even a difference? This week we take a closer look at these q...

Throughout life we find ourselves in many different situations. Within those circumstances, we think we know our reaction or at least how we should respond. However, it isn't always that simple. Sometimes who we think we are doesn't match up to who we actually are. For the past couple weeks we have taken a look into the book of Luke and have learned how particular groups of people saw Jesus and wh...

Have you ever looked back at life and wondered how you missed it? The "It" could be a relationship, or a financial decision, a career choice, or something that where you wish you had made a different choice. We all miss things that are in front of us at times. Some are inconsequential but others are life altering. In our new series, we take a look at some people who missed it and some who did not....

We all know men and women who are well respected in their communities and have accomplished much. Some of them within the church world and some outside. But what happens when we hear of the failures they've had in their behavior or in their character? We are broken when we hear that they were living a double life, presenting themselves as respectable and accomplished when in reality they misused t...

We all enjoy some good shortcuts. Whether it's on the road, or at work, or at home, we enjoy the shortcuts that help us save time. However while shortcuts claim immediate gain in the short term, sometimes, these can be harmful and may create more work than we originally thought. In our lives as Christ followers, we are not immune from the effect of a bad shortcut. Join us as we consider how we can...
