Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsThe Ten Commandments continue to help us learn to live in freedom. We’ll look at what it means to be free in relationship with our stuff, our possessions. God teaches us that real freedom comes when we are satisfied with what we have and when we are able to freely share what we have with others.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsAs we continue through the Ten Commandments, we come to a very important and very challenging commandment: Don’t commit adultery. God cares deeply about our sexual lives and our sexual thoughts. We need to take that seriously as well. A key question we’ll look at is why? Why does the Bible have so much to say about sex?- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

One of the biggest fears many of us have is the fear of the unknown. We don’t like it when we don’t know exactly what is going to happen next. We feel a little out of control. We may be excited about the future but it is still filled with unknowns. This morning we’ll look at what God has to say to Joshua as he is about to lead the people of Israel into the Promised Land.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Ever feel your heart is overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude to God and you can’t stop feeling your cup is overflowing? In my farewell sermon, I invite you to think of our lives as a journey with Jesus. It’s all about Christ. We’ll take a look at how loving, faithful, gracious, and generous He has been to all of us since we got the call to serve Hillside Church in 2008.- Pastor Daniel BudTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsThis is one of those commandments that is pretty easy for most of us if we only leave it at the surface level. Most of us aren’t terribly tempted to literally murder someone. But if we push deeper (and Jesus calls us to do that), we discover that this commandment calls us to avoid harming or hurting people and, in fact, calls us to learn to love our neighbor, even the ones who are our enemies.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsParents are a big deal. Whether they are good or bad; whether they are wise or foolish; whether they are biological or adoptive; parents are a big deal. And God says it’s a big deal how we treat our parents - we are to honor them. But what does that mean? What does that look like? We take a look at what this commandment has to say to us.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsWe take a look at one of God’s really good gifts for us - the Sabbath. In a world where we constantly feel under pressure to do more and to do better, God invites us to stop and remember that He is God and we are not. The world is not in our hands, it is in His hands. When we remember this, we can actually rest for awhile - maybe even one day a week!- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

As we celebrate multiple students making profession of faith, we take a moment to reflect on one o the most important commitments in the Christian life; the commitment to serve. Jesus showed us, by example, what a life of service looked like. How will we respond?- Pastor Arek O'ConnellTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsEver catch yourself being tempted to use foul language and curse? Jesus taught us that "what we say flows from what is in our heart!" What? Explore with us the 3rd Commandment, "You shall not misuse the NAME of the Lord."- Pastor Daniel BudTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsDo you ever feel like someone knew one thing about you and then decided they knew everything about you? They labeled you. They put you in a box. They “knew” all about you so they didn’t really have to listen to you.  If you’ve ever had that happen, then you know that it’s not fun.  God doesn’t like it either. He doesn’t like it when we limit Him or reduce Him from what He truly is. And that’s why He gives us the second commandment.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsAfter God rescues us, He wants us to learn to live in freedom. We start this morning with the first and, in many ways, most important commandment: You shall have no other gods before me.  While most of us aren’t tempted to worship Zeus or Odin or Amun-Ra, there are plenty of gods in our world we are tempted to worship—and we need to identify these gods so we can keep them from taking God’s place.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsThe Israelites had the 10 commandments to help them discover a new life of freedom in the desert after God delivered them. Today, we have an even greater gift and helper than the Israelites did. We have the Holy Spirit! This Sunday we’ll discuss how the Holy Spirit strengthens and equips us to live a life of freedom in Jesus Christ.- Pastor Arek O'ConnellTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsFor too many of us, we think that God gives us His Commandments so that we can know how to get Him to love us. If we obey God enough, we think, then He’ll save us. But that’s not the case. God first saves us and then He gives us His Commandments. They aren’t there to get Him to love us, they are there because He loves us and wants what is best for us.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Set Free to Live Free | The Ten CommandmentsWe’re beginning a sermon series this morning on the Ten Commandments. We’ll take a week for each commandment and explore what it means for us today, but before we do that, we need to understand that the Ten Commandments come in the middle of a story. They are not just given randomly. They are given to God’s people – the ones He rescued from slavery.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Revelation | Pulling Back the CurtainHow do you describe the indescribable? How do you talk about something that is better than you can imagine? As John gets to the end of his vision, he tries to give us a sense of just how awesome, amazing, beautiful, joyful and wonderful things will be for God’s people when He makes all things new.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Revelation | Pulling Back the CurtainThis morning we take a look at a very important scene in the book of Revelation: The final judgment. God has already cast the beasts and the dragon into the Lake of Fire. He then raises all the dead and we will face His judgment. This is the last thing that happens before we see the New Heaven and the New Earth.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Revelation | Pulling Back the CurtainOne of the questions we sometimes ask when we’re going through a tough time is this: Will it ever end? Will we be dealing with these struggles forever? Will they keep coming back? John wants us to know that, while our enemies are strong and powerful and smart, one day they will be completely gone. There is an end, and that is good news.- Pastor Ron KoolTo give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show

Revelation | Pulling Back the CurtainHave you ever felt that you are in a situation where there is no hope and no way out? This Sunday we’re returning to our study of The Book of Revelation. Jesus invites us to the wedding supper of the Lamb. Join us as we explore a hope filled chapter where we are invited to sing the Hallelujah chorus!- Pastor Daniel BudSupport the show

Hope in a Broken World | A Series for Lent from 1 PeterApril 4, 2021Sermon Summary:This Sunday we get to talk about one of the most powerful forces in the universe: Hope. In a world where we might sometimes feel like there is no reason for hope, we dare to believe that we can live in hope, even in the midst of really difficult times. Because Jesus rose from the dead, Peter became a person of great hope. This Sunday he invites us to share in his hope.To give, please visit: https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgrSupport the show
