Waiting... on the Lord... in faith

We're continuing in our "Waiting For The Promise" series - today we're talking about the significance of Waiting on the Lord, in faith, & what that might look like lived out. Our text for today begins in Psalm 27.

Waiting For The Promise #1

The Resurrection was POWERFUL. But it didn't EMPOWER the disciples to carry out the mission Christ gave them (Check out Matthew 28:18-20). Instead of sending the disciples immediately into their neighborhoods (& beyond) to carry the message, Jesus told them to go back into Jerusalem to WAIT for the promise: God's Holy Spirit would come & provide them with all of the fuel necessary to be able to not only live for Christ, but to live as witnesses of all they had seen, sharing the message of the gospel with power, conviction, & supernatural insight. Our text for the day is Acts 1:1-11.

The Road to Easter #3 - Jesus The Risen Lord

Our "Road to Easter" series culminates today with our Easter Sunday message called, "Jesus the Risen Lord." Our text begins in Luke 24.

The Road to Easter #2 - Jesus the King

Our series, "The Road to Easter" continues today with a message called, "Jesus the King." We're exploring Matthew 21, Palm Sunday, & the significance of the Triumphal Entry to the life of the Christ-follower today!

The Road To Easter #1 - Jesus, Light of the World

Our Easter season series, "The Road to Easter," begins today with a message called "Jesus, Light of the World." We're exploring how Jesus' incarnation served to be & bring LIGHT to a dark world, & since we're His representatives, we continue in His mission as light-bringers. Our text for today starts in John 1.

EHS #9 - Rooted In The Word

Our Emotionally Healthy Spirituality concludes today with a message called, "Rooted In The Word." It centers on the strategic & foundational role Scripture plays in our own formation, growth, restoration, & maturity. The main texts for the day are 2Timothy 3:10-17, Hebrews 4:12, Colossians 3:16, & Matthew 7:24-27

EHS #8 - Growing Through Grieving Well

We're continuing our series, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality series, addressing how we can grow in our ability to love ourselves & others by learning to mourn, grieve, & process through the losses we experience. Our text is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 - we listened to the Byrds song "Turn, Turn, Turn" for a more 'musical' version of the text.

EHS #7 - Learning to Love Well

Our Emotionally Healthy Spirituality series continues with a message by Danae Lear called, "Learning to Love Well." Our text is 1John 4:7-10

EHS #6 - Renewing Our Minds

A couple key elements of growing to full maturity in Christ involve the continual process of surrendering every area of our life to God & being transformed by the renewing of our minds through God's Word. This surrender & transformation leads to new ways of thinking, different actions, & a lifestyle that reflects Christ's thumbprint & shaping. Today, freelance writer & fellow Hillside-er Ally Siwajian continues our series "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality" with a message called, "Renewing Our Minds." Today's text is Romans 12.

EHS #5- Stopping the Blame Game
