WHY HILLSIDE?
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Collapse: Hope When Everything Falls Apart

Some things fall apart slowly. Others come down before we’ve figured out where the cracks were. In this series, we’ll turn to biblical stories of fractured families, broken friendships, and a society under siege to ask what faith looks like when we can’t hold everything together. These stories offer no easy fixes, but they do offer wisdom for taking responsibility, living with what we cannot repair, and finding the courage to build something hopeful together.

The Opposite of Love

What if the opposite of love isn't hate, but fear? Drawing on the First Letter of John, Martin Luther King Jr.'s interpretation of the Good Samaritan, and one of the most infamous political advertisements in American history, this sermon explores how fear shapes our choices, narrows our compassion, and influences our politics.

Scripture References: 1 John 4:16-21
