WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

The Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Luke tells the story of Jesus in a way that feels surprisingly modern. It’s researched, stitched together from real voices, and honest about its own process. It centers people usually left out of religious stories: women, immigrants, the poor, the doubters, the ones on the edges. This series explores how Luke’s gospel came to be and what it says about a God who works through imperfect people, contested decisions, and messy history to bring healing, justice, and hope. You don’t need to have faith figured out to belong here. This is an invitation to explore a story that has shaped the world and still has something to say about ours.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - October 26, 2025

When Hope Runs Thin

In this sermon we named the ache so many are feeling and called it what it is. Elijah stood tall on Mount Carmel, then collapsed under a broom tree when nothing changed. God met him not with fireworks but with bread, water, and a quiet i am here, then sent him back to share the work. We traced that same arc in William Wilberforce, whose long defeats gave way when a circle of friends would not let him carry the cause alone. If burnout and hopelessness have been your companions, this message invited you to rest, to listen for God in the silence, and to find your people so the good work can keep going.

Scripture References: 1 Kings 19:3-18

A sweeping study of over 65 million research papers set out to understand what makes ideas take off. What it uncovered wasn’t about prestige or power, but the surprising creative force of difference.

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!
