WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Ruth: Redeeming Love

A famine leaves a foreign widow named Ruth with nothing but an aging mother in law and a refusal to walk away. What follows is small and slow, yet by the end it has redrawn a family and bent the course of history. That’s the gift of Ruth: it insists God’s redemption usually arrives not in the spectacular but in the ordinary, in quiet choices to stay, to act with integrity, to be generous when no one’s watching. This summer, come ask what the book is asking us. How might God already be at work in the unremarkable corners of our lives?

Context Is Everything

Using the long arc of scripture and a surprisingly helpful Full House finale, this sermon frames God’s promise to Abraham as a climactic moment in a much larger story about trust, perspective, and covenant. The stars are not just reassurance of what God can do, but a call for Abraham’s descendants to live as a blessing, to notice wonder, and to become light for the world rather than turning on each other or looking away.

Scripture References: Genesis 15:1-6

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!
