The Mountain of Exaltation
In The Mountain of Exaltation, Pastor Doug Scalise reflects on the ascension of Jesus in Acts 1:6–12 as a pivotal moment when one chapter ends, and a new mission begins.

The Mountain of Obedience, Again
In The Mountain of Obedience (Again), Pastor Doug Scalise reflects on Good Friday through Matthew 27:45–54, where Jesus’ obedience leads Him all the way to the cross. Connecting the story of Abraham and Isaac with the crucifixion, this sermon reveals that while Isaac was spared, Jesus became the Lamb who was not. Through…
The Mountain of Surrender
In The Mountain of Surrender, Pastor Doug Scalise reflects on Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36–46), where surrender becomes the pathway to peace, obedience, and salvation. While surrender often feels like defeat, Jesus reveals it as a courageous act of trust—choosing God’s will over our personal desire in the most…
The Mountain of Illumination
In The Mountain of Illumination, Pastor Doug Scalise explores the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17:1–9 and its connection to Palm Sunday’s question: “Who is this?” On the mountain, God reveals Jesus as His beloved Son and calls us to listen to Him, illuminating Christ’s true identity beyond the crowd’s…

In The Mountain of Peace, Pastor Doug Scalise explores Jesus’ teaching on anger in Matthew 5:21–26 and its impact on our relationships, faith, and witness.

The Mountain of Temptation
In The Mountain of Temptation, Pastor Doug Scalise reflects on Jesus’ testing in the wilderness from Matthew 4:1–11 and the spiritual preparation needed to face life’s most difficult moments. After his baptism, Jesus confronts temptations of appetite, applause, and power—yet remains faithful by grounding his identity and choices in God’s…
The Mountain of Power
In The Mountain of Power, Pastor Joe Greemore brings us to Mount Carmel, where Elijah stands alone against hundreds of prophets of Baal and calls the people of Israel to choose whom they will follow. In 1 Kings 18, the fire of the Lord falls, revealing that true power belongs…
The Mountain of Promise
In The Mountain of Promise, Pastor Doug Scalise takes us to Mount Sinai, where thunder, fire, and cloud reveal the holiness of God and the gift of covenant relationship. In Exodus 19 and 24, the trembling mountain shows us that God is not casual or common—but holy, just, and worthy…
The Mountain of Obedience
In The Mountain of Obedience, Pastor Nate Ryan wrestles with the unsettling story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22. When God asks Abraham to surrender the very son of promise, we confront the costly nature of faith and the tension between obedience and understanding. This message reminds us that…
The Mountain of Renewal
This Sunday, we have one service only, where we begin a new series, “The Mountains of God,” that will continue through the season of Lent. In this first week, The Mountain of Renewal, Pastor Doug Scalise explores Genesis 8:1–22 and the powerful turning point when “God remembered Noah.” After the…
The Compassionate Life
