Episode Details

We live in a world that keeps asking how many people are watching. This week in our IDOLS series, we're looking at the idol of platform; asking the question, "Are we seeking the approval of man or of God?"

Whether it's a global following, a professional title, or a reputation in a small town, we can start looking to a crowd to tell us who we are and what we should value. But life is to be lived for God's glory.

The crowd will never offer what Christ can guarantee. Join us this Sunday at Mountainview Church at 8:00, 9:30 or 11:00 in English or at 3:00 PM for our Filipino gathering.
