HFCC Christ Centered Hope for Today's World

As we wrap up our walk through the Ten Commandments: today we look at the final two: “Do Not Lie” and “Do Not Covet.” These aren’t just ancient rules carved into stone: they speak directly into the world we’re living in right now. Commandment 9 reminds us how serious God is about truth. Scripture draws a sharp line between the God of truth and the father of lies: and our culture is full of example...

Today we continue our walk through the Ten Commandments with Commandment #7: “You shall not commit adultery” and Commandment #8: “You shall not steal.” These two short commandments carry powerful truths that reach deep into the heart of human behavior. We explore how God designed marriage as a sacred covenant, how sexual purity reflects our devotion to Him, and with examples from Scripture that sh...

During the month of November, we naturally think about thankfulness. But for believers, gratitude shouldn’t just be seasonal, it should be continual! Psalm 100 is known as a Psalm of Thanksgiving, and it calls us to shout joyfully to the Lord, serve Him with gladness, and come before Him with thanksgiving. But how can we do that when life doesn’t always feel thankful? What does it really mean to w...

Jim Barnhart returns with a powerful message from 1 Peter 2:4–10, reminding us that Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone. But what does that really mean? To truly understand, we look back at the ancient construction practice of laying a cornerstone: the very first and most important stone that determined the stability and alignment of the entire structure. In the same way, Jesus is our foundation — stro...

Through this powerful message, Donn reveals what Jesus was teaching about faith, persistence, and the heart of God. What do we do when our prayers go unanswered? Should we give up… or press on?

Gary returns to continue his in-depth teaching series on The Ten Commandments! This week we unpack Commandment #5: “Honor Your Father and Mother” and Commandment #6: “You Shall Not Murder.” What does it really mean to honor your parents? Especially in today’s world? Is this commandment only for kids, or does it extend to beyond youth? Then we tackle one of the most debated commandments: “You shall...

Most of us have probably recited what is called "The Lord's Prayer" But have you ever stopped and thought about what it is saying? And did you realize that this wasn't just a quaint prayer muttered by someone in the Bible, but was actually spoken by Jesus as an answer to a question on how to pray? With that insight, The Lord's Prayer as a guide to prayer, it takes on a whole new meaning, and today...

Many Christians are confused when it comes to Christ’s return. Is the Rapture the same event as the Second Coming, or are they two different moments in God’s prophetic timeline? In this message, we open Scripture to uncover the differences between these two great events. Along the way, we’ll look at typologies like Enoch before the flood, Israel preserved through tribulation, and Noah’s deliveranc...

In this message, we continue our journey through the Ten Commandments, looking closely at Commandments 3 and 4. The 3rd Commandment: “Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.” What does this really mean? Is it really that big of deal? Gary explores this, including some speech that falls into this category that may surprise you! The 4th Commandment: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it h...

How should Christians respond when tragedy strikes? In this message, we look at the heartbreaking loss of Charlie Kirk and the larger question of how followers of Christ are to face suffering, grief, fear, and anger.

Gary Froiland returns today and begins his teaching on the famous 10 Commandments beginning with Commandment Number 1 and 2. Digging into the commandments may have some surprises for you today however. Today we don't just look into the meaning and context behind the first and second commandments, but learn that some CHANGE the commandments to allow for some surprising practices in their church...

Why does fellowship matter? Why should we gather as the church? Is the day of worship—Saturday, Sunday, or even Wednesday what really matters, or is there something deeper? In this message we explore what God’s Word says about the importance of gathering together as believers. Using relatable and powerful illustrations, Al helps us discover why God designed us for community, not isolation. Today w...

We all know someone who complains about everything, and if we’re honest, sometimes that person is us. Complaining might feel small, but it can rob us of joy, damage relationships, and even blind us to God’s blessings. In this message we’ll look at what Scripture says about the dangers of a complaining spirit and discover how to replace grumbling with gratitude. Through real-life studies, biblical...

On September 23, 1908, a rookie baseball player named Fred Merkle made one small mistake that changed the course of baseball history. In this message, we explore how one wrong step can have eternal consequences. Many people today think salvation depends on baptism, good works, or religious rituals, but what does God’s Word actually say? Is faith in Jesus truly enough? Today, Josh takes a look at p...

The Ten Commandments… you’ve heard of them, you’ve probably seen them on plaques or in movies, but do you really know their history? And why, thousands of years later, are they still the subject of debate and controversy—especially here in the United States, the so-called “land of the free”? In this powerful new multi-week series, Gary Froiland takes us back to the origins of one of the most famou...

“'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'" Jesus made this statement in Matthew 22:37. But what exactly did He mean by this? How does the heart differentiate from the mind? And how can you accomplish this in your own life? Jim Barnhart returns to 1 Peter, where we see Peter, a man directly taught by Jesus, giving us some clarity on how...

We live in a world of disaster and suffering. And many people rightfully ask the question "Why?" Today, Jim Barnhart returns and turns us to the writings of the disciple Peter. Set in the final years of his life, Peter is able to look back at the years and experiences of his life in service to the Lord Jesus, and understand more fully what the meaning behind the obstacles that often bloc...

Is it possible that the greatest obstacle to revival… is us? In today's message," we dive into the story of Jonah—not the famous part about the fish—but the deeper issue of a man who resisted God’s mercy because of his own personal bias. From Jonah's stubborn nationalism to Peter’s well-meaning but misguided rebuke of Jesus, we uncover a hard truth: sometimes it's our opinions, tr...

With the recent celebration of Independence Day on July 4, many of us spent time with family—watching parades and fireworks, camping, grilling out, and proudly wearing our red, white, and blue.

He shared a wealth of information about the founding of America—fascinating...

In Acts Chapter 2 we come across a rather puzzling recounting of a group of followers of Jesus receiving the Holy Spirit in the image of flames of fire. This is Shekinah Glory. But what is that? It was known in the Old Testament and was revealed in only special occasions and occurrences, but here in Acts we see it being freely given. What is going on here? Today, Randy Swanson leads us into an ove...

Gary Froiland returns with a timely and heartfelt message for Father’s Day 2025, following up on his impactful Mother's Day sermon from a few weeks ago. While mothers often receive the spotlight when it comes to expressions of love and appreciation, the quiet strength and consistent presence of a father can sometimes go unnoticed. On this day set aside to honor the foundation of the family, Ga...

Gary Froiland is back, and he’s bringing a powerful challenge. In Mark 16:15, Jesus commands, “Go into all the world.” This isn’t merely a suggestion; it’s a direct command from the Lord of Lords, the Savior of all mankind. Yet, too often, we overlook its urgency. Countless people around the world still haven’t experienced the redemptive grace offered through Jesus Christ. As believers, it is our...

We have all heard the saying: "To whom much is given, much is required" or "With great power comes great responsibility" Today, Donn blesses us with a look at a familiar passage found in Matthew 25, where Jesus tells a parable about a master giving talents to his servants, and there appears to be two different approaches to how they handle it. But the shock comes when Donn shar...
