WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

The Gospel According to Matthew

What if God’s kingdom looks nothing like we expected? Join us as we journey through Matthew’s Gospel – where the poor are blessed, the outsiders are welcomed, and the last are first. It’s a story that challenges the status quo – flips power on its head – and invites us to live with courage, compassion, and hope. Between now and Easter, we’ll follow the footsteps of Jesus – the one who shows us that love is the greatest force in the universe – and it’s for everyone.

What God's Love Is Like

Ever wondered how many Christian denominations exist? The Center for Global Christianity estimates a mind-blowing 47,000! If getting the "right" beliefs is what makes a Christian, we'd at best have a 1-in-47,000 chance. Clearly, it's not about perfect beliefs. What truly defines us is experiencing God's love— unearned, undeserved, freely given. In this message, we dive into this foundational experience. What is God’s love really like? How do we know we've felt it? Join us as we explore Jesus' parables to uncover the profound, transformative power of God’s love in our lives.

Scripture References: Luke 15:11-24, Matthew 18:23-34, Matthew 20:1-16

OUR VISION

Grounded in Love

In a time of increasing partisanship and division, Hillside Community Church boldly imagines a world in which people of every race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, gender expression, and sexual orientation can come together to meet, talk, listen, share, explore, and grow in love.

Each week, through worship that draws on the deepest insights of the Christian scriptures and through active programs of community service and outreach, the Hillside community works to build just such a world.

If you are looking to be part of an action-oriented, love-centered Christian community, we’d love to have you join us!
