Hatfield Christian Church

What does it really mean to follow Jesus in our world shaped by self-promotion, comfort, and convenience? In Philippians 2, we’re invited into a radically different way – the way of Christ, who laid everything down in humility, obedience, and love. Pastor Louis helps us look at the true cost of being a disciple: ✨ choosing service over status ✨ embracing humility over selfishness ✨ living sacri...

How do we talk about victory in a world marked by real suffering, injustice, and opposition? Scripture doesn’t ignore these realities, and neither should we.

Pastor Louis explores how followers of Christ face opposition with courage, joy, and unshakable hope – no...

In the beginning, heaven and earth overlapped. The Garden of Eden was alive with God’s presence.

What happens when we stop trusting God – and start making our own plans? As Pastor Natasja wraps up our miniseries, we shift from Colossians to the powerful story of Jeroboam, Ahab, Jezebel, Elijah, and the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings.
