Ya get whatcha give!


A great way to start our week! “Give and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over.”   LUKE 6:38 Lord, please help me to treat, honor, and respect others the same way I wish to be treated no matter what, AMEN.  “Love and tolerance of others is our code.” Big Book pg 84 Have a blessed week y’all! Eat right, exercise, and learn from the WORD! How is your “SERVE”?!? 


In the City

When Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God, he upset power-hungry religious scholars by turning their value system upside down. He described the poor, the marginalized, the mourning and the persecuted as "blessed," and he taught his followers to love and serve the down and out.
Mountain Park seeks to live out these kingdom values by sharing the Gospel and serving the poor and underprivileged in Phoenix and in the most God-starved parts of the world.
