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 - 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
