Hillside Foursquare Church

Hands & Feet... & A Good Heart

This next Saturday, 8/18, Hillside will be hosting the 7th Pat Baker Park Outreach - with a Back to School Theme - in preparation for that, Trista Gomez is talking today about getting out of the church building & heading into the neighborhood.

Joy & Perseverance - In Christ

Our message today centers on finding joy in the middle of difficulty, adversity, & disappointment - God takes what has been meant for evil, wrong, & destruction, & works it for good... as we navigate through the challenges in front of us leaning into Christ for the strength necessary to make it through, He works to build our perseverance, endurance, & patience. This is an absolute requirement for our faith to become full grown & mature.Take a listen. NOTE: in today's message, Pastor Louie references the loss of a dear family friend, Dr. Gary Dankworth - his story can be read HERE. The text for today is James 1:1-4

Joy & Peace - In Christ

The Apostle Paul's instructions to the Philippian church remind us that Christ-following is ACTIVE! The language he uses communicates the expectation that our choices play a key role in our attitudes, actions, thoughts, & personal relationships - he says: REJOICE. Be Glad. Be Well. Thrive! Address anxiety, worry, & fear with God - in prayer, specific requests, & giving thanks for what He has done, is doing, & will do. Then, God's promise is that He gives us PEACE that guards our hearts (the center of our being) & minds (thoughts & deep ponderings) - in Christ Jesus. Our text today is Philippians 4:4-9.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Today's message is a reminder that the foundation of our life as Christ-followers IS Jesus Christ - everything we do, everything we are, centers on Him & relationship with Him. Our text is John 1.

God Has Not Forgotten Us

Today, our speaker is Ally Siwajian - she's a woman, wife, daughter, sister, friend, writer, social justice activist & a fellow Hillside-er... She is teaching from Isaiah 59 - reminding us that "God has not forgotten us..." To find out more about what makes Ally tick, check out her blog HERE

MOVING FORWARD #6 - The Power of Fellowship

The series we've launched 2012 with, Moving Forward, continues with a message centered on the transforming power of fellowship in the life of a Christ-follower. The text for today is Acts 2:42-47.

MOVING FORWARD #9 - the Monday Morning Church

Today, our series, "Moving Forward" explores what the purpose of being a Christ-follower is: living as the Monday Morning Church - this means that we intentionally try to be & do what Jesus would be & do if He were walking in our shoes, living our lives. Church isn't just for having a place to gather on Sunday; No! It is meant to be something that we live out & carry with us in the Real World. Our text today is found is Matthew 5:13-16.

MOVING FORWARD #8 - Forgiveness

One of the biggest helps to moving forward in our relationship with God & to getting unstuck is learning about & practicing forgiveness. Our text today is 1John 1:5-2:2, & Matthew 18:21,22. We're talking about how God forgives us & how we can forgive ourselves & other.

MOVING FORWARD #7 - Getting Unstuck

In 2012, we are aiming to be Moving Forward into the things that God has for us in our lives - this includes breaking free from destructive  patterns of thought & behavior, bad habits & mindsets:  ultimately, we need to GET UNSTUCK Our text for today is Ephesians 4:20-24 & Romans 12.

MOVING FORWARD #3 - Living a God-fueled Life

The Holy Spirit provides the source of fuel for Christ-followers to be able to be transformed, empowered, & strengthened to live for Christ. We begin the speech today  in John 14:26-28.
