April 28, 2024 15:37 - 1 hour - 118 MB

Have you ever thought about whether the journey of becoming the person you want to be starts long before you consciously decide to do something? The decisions we make, even the ones that don't seem important, affect the course of our lives. On the other hand, what do we do when we're tired, stressed, or lacking energy? How do those important choices show up at those times? This message series, “Ahead of the Curve,” looks at the practice of looking forward. Let’s learn to think ahead, anticip...

April 07, 2024 15:37 - 1 hour - 96.5 MB

Well, it's right up the road: this weekend is WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. As a sort of fun "tie-in," join HCC for this one-week message—Believe-A-Mania: Tag Team Champs—Salt & Light There may not be a direct link between this sermon and our own wants or preferences, and you may not feel a connection right away, but I am sure that if Jesus were here, He would choose this exact topic. After Jesus rose from the dead, I thought about how eager those who followed him were to share their fait...

Between a Hard Place and a Rock

March 31, 2024 15:50 - 1 hour - 93.2 MB

Picture it: the dusty streets of Jerusalem, the scent of fig leaves, & the buzz of anticipation as Jesus, rides a borrowed donkey hailed as both king & rebel. The Last Supper unfolds—feet washed, bread broken, wine shared. Sorrow drips from His brow in Gethsemane as He grapples to drink from the cup of suffering he must endure. A friend’s betrayal casts its shadow, the Sanhedrin convenes, the scourging embarks, & the cross looms large, its splintered wood against a bruised sky. In A Couple o...

As we welcome the New Year of 2024, we may be tempted to make some resolutions to improve ourselves & our lives. But how many of us can honestly say that we have kept our resolutions in the past?  How many of us gave up before they started?  How many of us may still be haunted by the events of 2023, whether they were joyful or painful? The truth is the past is gone and we cannot change it. We can only learn from it and move forward.   Instead of brief resolutions, let's make lasting spiritual...

Feasts and celebrating an important event are Biblical, and as the church it is good that we enjoy a covered dish or a meal after a church event. Just as we gathered a few weeks ago after a baptismal service to celebrate with new and present members. God’s people have been celebrating for years with feasts. In Genesis 18 Abraham had a meal for the three Men that promised him a son. Then there is the feast of Passover and the Feast of Booths to remember the journey of Israel through the wilder...

Labels

In this week’s message, we look at a topic that resonates with each & every one of us: Labels. Labels are the words & judgments that others have placed upon us throughout our lives, often making us feel insignificant, useless, or even worse. Negative labels that continue to define you & influence the way you see yourself can keep our future caged up in our past? There is hope as we find hope & inspiration in "that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a n...

Church. Why do we have church? So many different styles, so many choices, so many preferences, so many differences. We talk about contemporary, traditional, evangelical, and tons of other descriptions. We often will look for something or someplace we can call, “my church.” Yet, in Matthew 16, Jesus told his disciples, “I will build my church.” I like that he didn’t say, “I will build the church.” When it comes to His church, Jesus takes it very personally.
