Coast Hills Church

In this message, Pastor Jason Huffman teaches on the spiritual reality that we were once imprisoned by sin and the Law, but now we are adopted as children of God through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. This faith brings spiritual freedom and intimacy in relationship with our Father, or more accurately, our Dad.

Finishing Galatians 2, Pastor Jason Huffman teaches that trying to get right with God through our own good works is not just a "no-no" in the Church, but is sin. The truth is that keeping laws can never make sinful people good, but a good God can inwardly transform the hearts of sinners as they place their faith in the grace of Jesus Christ. 

Looking at Paul and Peter's confrontation described in Galatians 2, Pastor Jason Huffman shares how when Christians engage in conflict, it's not about making a commotion, but advancing a mission. Everyone is subject at times to fearing the opinions of others, influencing believers in a negative direction, and behaving hypocritically. When confronting in love, it's important to follo...

In today's teaching, Pastor Jason Huffman teaches how God's purpose for Paul's life was revealed through his testimony. In the same way, our life becomes a part of the Gospel message that we share. As we allow God to free us from service to people and serve Him, He is able to use our past in order to glorify Himself in the present and equip us for the future. 

Finishing out our LIFE acronym with "Enjoy Abundantly," Pastor Jason Huffman defines the "abundant life" that Jesus promised with ten practical points. We enjoy life abundant as we know Jesus, trust Him, understand His Word, choose joy in Him, share Him, and crown Him as king. It is enjoyed even in the midst of pain and confusion, because we have a risen Savior who gives us res...

Jesus calls His disciples to "follow" Him. Looking at Peter's example of a life full of failures, successes, and the transforming grace of God, Pastor Jason Huffman teaches that following Jesus is not about being perfect, but being faithful. God's grace is the fuel by which we are able to trust and obey God daily with determination and a soft heart. This process begins with bec...

This week, continuing in "The Great Pursuit" series, outlining our vision and mission as a church—Pastor Jason Huffman teaches on the "I" in our LIFE Acronym. "I" is to "Invest Eternally with Hope and Purpose." The Bible speaks in significant ways about how we invest. Jesus instructs us to invest in heaven, focusing our treasure and our hearts on what will l...

Every Christian is called to influence the world around them for Christ, which means every Christian has the call to leadership. The key is to lead humbly like Jesus in a world that exalts power, authority, and control. Through the story of Moses' failure and success, Pastor Jason Huffman teaches that humility will keep the Christian in a position of Spiritual power because it will keep him d...

Relationship is the context of everything that God does in and through our lives. Today, Pastor Jason Huffman shares on what it means to have both a real relationship with God and a right relationship with God. This kind of relationship is defined by its reciprocal nature, as well as its structure. As God pursues us with His everything, the command is that in response to this great love, we would...

Continuing in Ezekiel 34, Pastor Jason Huffman teaches that the Good Shepherd's pursuit is relationship with His Sheep. God's people depend on Him for abundant life, real rest, and ultimate hope through our current sufferings. This is always found in real and right relationship with Jesus, and in knowing God, we will receive countless blessings in this life and the life to come.

In Ezekiel 34, God rebukes the shepherds of Israel for feeding themselves, serving their own needs, and scattering the flock. He assures that He, Himself will shepherd His flock and bring them back into the safety of His care. In part one of his teaching on Ezekiel 34, Pastor Jason Huffman describes the relationship between a shepherd and their sheep. Just as everyone in the Church has the Good Sh...

On the evening of the Lord’s betrayal, Jesus said, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you..." What was different about this one? Manny Lotito walks us through the Passover and how Jesus instituted a more fulfilled commemoration that we now call Communion. 

Finishing off The Benediction series, Jimmy Terry teaches on the Gospel as the source of our strength. Paul's benediction in Romans 16 makes it clear that "God is able" to strengthen those who are in Christ and enable them to endure until salvation. Until then, the Church must let the Good News never become old news, and hold fast to His promise that Jesus will never cast out those...

Pastor Chet Lowe finishes Jude's benediction with how the Church receives God's mercy and extends it to the world. There must be a clear distinction between believers, "the beloved," and the world, which opposes the cross. Yet, how we go about preaching the Gospel and making disciples ought to reflect Jesus and His merciful dealings with sinners, like us. This God delights and...

Closing out the benediction of Jude, Pastor Chet Lowe exhorts the Church to focus on the future for every Believer. We will either go to Heaven or Christ will come to us—and the greatest moment of mercy will commence. Are we practically planning and preparing for the moment of Jesus' return, as we do for our earthly travels? Jesus tells His servants to be waiting, watching, and working until...

What does it mean to "keep yourself in the love of God?" Looking at Jude's benediction, Pastor Chet Lowe tackles this question. The Gospel reveals to us that God is love, and this God of love made a way for relationship with His children. The Greek word "tereo" reveals that to "keep" your heart is to guard it, and we need to be guarding the loving relationship we...
