Mountain Moments for Valley Walks
Lessons for life's rugged circumstances, what the mountaintop teaches us for the long walk through the valley.
About the series
Strength for the valley.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord.Psalm 121:1-2
Some of the most important moments of faith happen on the mountaintop, when God feels close and the way ahead is clear. But life is mostly lived in the valley below. In the spring and summer of 2020, Pastor Tim Rolen began a series on what those high moments are actually for.
Across thirteen Sundays, with Pastor Mark Addis joining later in the series, Mountain Moments for Valley Walks looks at the peaks and valleys of Scripture, from Elijah on the mountain to the long ordinary stretches in between, and asks how the strength we find above carries us through whatever waits below.
