WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

The Characters of Christmas

As we enter the holiday season, we’re spending time with the ones who first felt the shockwave of Jesus’ birth. A teenage girl brave enough to say yes. A bewildered carpenter learning to trust what made no earthly sense. Shepherds who lived on the edges of everyone’s attention. Magi who followed a strange star beyond the borders of their own traditions. Each one found the same truth rising in their lives like early light creeping over a horizon: this good news of great joy is meant for all of us.

Nolan Kelly - April 27, 2025

The Good Samaritan

What does it mean to be a good Samaritan in a world that never stops hurting? In this heartfelt and thought-provoking sermon, Nolan Kelly reflects on his own childhood compassion and wrestles with the overwhelming complexity of modern suffering: from endless GoFundMe pleas to nonstop headlines of crisis. With wisdom beyond his years, Nolan brings Jesus’ parable into sharp focus for today, reminding us that we’re not called to fix everything — just to see people, love them, and respond when we can. Watch and be inspired to choose love, one small act at a time.

Scripture References: Luke 10:25-37

The Science of Impact

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!
