WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Legends

They’re called legends, but not because they had it all together. The judges of ancient Israel were a wild bunch: prophets, warriors, outsiders, and deeply flawed human beings. Their stories are full of bloodshed, bravery, foolishness, and faith. In this series, we’ll explore these messy figures not as moral examples to copy but as reminders that God works through imperfect people to bring courage, justice, and unexpected hope. These aren’t fairy tales. They’re gritty, complicated, and oddly familiar. And through them, we’ll discover a God who still shows up in the chaos.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - February 16, 2025

Jesus Believes in You – Do You?

Jesus didn’t call the best of the best. He called ordinary people—people who had been told they weren’t smart enough, strong enough, or worthy enough. And yet, he believed in them. And he believes in us, too. But do we? In a world unraveling with injustice—where politicians are paid to keep the guns flowing, where neo-Nazis march openly, where the most vulnerable are under attack—Jesus is still calling disciples to step up, to act, to follow him into the places where love and justice are most needed. The question is: will we believe we have what it takes?

Scripture References: Matthew 4:18-22

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!
