WHY HILLSIDE?
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Summer in the Psalms

The Psalms have been the church’s prayer book for three thousand years, and they got the job by refusing to pretend. Over four Sundays we’ll pray four very different psalms: awe under a sky too big for us, trust through the dark valley, thanksgiving for what we barely survived, and, yes, one Sunday of raw rage, because the Psalms give us permission to bring God even the prayers we’re ashamed of. Come pray the whole range with us.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - September 7, 2025

Get Out of the Way

This sermon takes a closer look at Zacchaeus—the original “short king”—and the way his community kept him from seeing Jesus. From crowds that close ranks to churches that quietly signal who doesn’t belong, we explore how even well-founded judgments can get in the way of love. With a surprising story from comedian Gianmarco Soresi, we ask what it means to step aside, make space, and trust that Jesus still shows up in the people we least expect.

Scripture References: Luke 19:1-10
