Heb. 4:16 (NLT) 5 Mountains We Must Climb to Appear Before God: 1) The Mountain of Time -Mark 1:35-“Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.” 2) The Mountain of Distraction 3) The Mountain of Complacency -“Sinking is better than sitting.”-Mark Batterson -Complacency is rooted in fear and apathy. At its core, it is a lack of faith that what God is calling us to do is possible or even worth doing. 4) The Mountain of Pride i. James 4:6 (NLT)-“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 5) The Mountain of Shame -“Worship is forgetting what’s wrong with you and remembering what’s right with God.”-Mark Batterson
