WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Ruth: Redeeming Love

A famine leaves a foreign widow named Ruth with nothing but an aging mother in law and a refusal to walk away. What follows is small and slow, yet by the end it has redrawn a family and bent the course of history. That’s the gift of Ruth: it insists God’s redemption usually arrives not in the spectacular but in the ordinary, in quiet choices to stay, to act with integrity, to be generous when no one’s watching. This summer, come ask what the book is asking us. How might God already be at work in the unremarkable corners of our lives?

Rev. Tom Hathaway - July 20, 2025

When Weakness Wins

What if the part of you you’re most ashamed of is the very place God wants to work through? In this sermon from Judges, we meet Ehud—a disabled man, dismissed by society, who ends up delivering an entire nation. It’s a wild, messy, violent story… and somehow, it’s holy too. From Fred Rogers’ childhood loneliness to the scars Jesus showed after the resurrection, this sermon explores how God shows up in the places we (and others) call weak, broken, or useless—and how love shines through there most brilliantly. If you’ve ever wondered whether your story is too complicated or your pain too deep for God to use… this one’s for you.

Scripture References: Judges 3:7-731

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!
