A Holy Burden | FOR BHM
Manage episode 451756434 series 3166791
We do not exist FOR us. We do not serve and give generously FOR us. We exist FOR Birmingham (BHM). And that means several things around here. It means we partner with amazing organizations in our city and give a portion of everything we receive to the good work they’re doing for our neighbors in need. It means we host Serve Days in the spring and fall as ways to get off campus and truly be the physical hands and feet of Christ in our city. It means we encourage local business and community leaders on social media with a hashtag, #FORBHM. But the most important thing we do FOR BHM is a create environments where people meet the living God and empower them to take his love and grace into the streets of our city. We are called to be a beacon of Good News. We exist FOR this purpose.
Here at Mountaintop, we’re a church that invites and equips people to follow Jesus. So we’re always eager to welcome others. There’s always room for one more. In about a month, we will have completed our largest construction project in over 20 years, since we built our church on top of this mountain. This new facility will be completed, and we’ll have more parking than we’ve ever had, more check-in stations than we’ve ever had, more square footage than we’ve ever had, more kids’ classrooms than we’ve ever had. And we need it because we have more people than we’ve ever had. We’re making room FOR One more kid that you’re inviting, FOR Families we haven’t met yet and FOR Birmingham to know that we’ve created space for them. God has given us A Holy Burden FOR others, and that’s what this series is all about.
