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 - December 7, 2025

Joseph and a Better Way to Be a Man

In a culture flooded with alpha male posturing and influencers who equate manhood with dominance, the Christmas story quietly hands us a very different model in Joseph. This sermon explores the crisis he faced, the choices he made, and how his self-giving strength shaped the boy who would become Jesus. Along the way we confront what our boys are being taught about masculinity today and imagine how the church can help raise a new generation of men who carry the fingerprints of Joseph and the heart of Jesus.

Scripture References: Matthew 1:18-25
