Coast Hills Church

Paul's benediction in the book of Romans addresses the weak and strong in faith to "live in harmony" and to build on another up as the Church. This week, Pastor Jason Huffman exhorts Christians, both weak and strong, to grow in maturity, to help each other, and to demonstrate love and grace to one another as we seek to glorify God together. In the process, God will help us harmonize...

In the second half of Matthew 23 Jesus gives one of the strongest rebukes to the scribes and Pharisees. He calls them hypocrites 8 times, sons of hell, condemned and 5 times calls them blind. Manny Lotito takes us through this text so we can hear the rebuke to ourselves.  

Continuing through Jude's benediction, Pastor Chet Lowe teaches on praying in the Spirit. As the Spirit's goal is to glorify Christ, He will lead us to pray the way that Jesus taught and practiced. Through Jesus' life, He demonstrated that prayer needs to be a priority, a private and personal time, and that we must be persistent and penitent. As we pray His way, we will build relati...

We are jumping back into the Life of Christ series. In the last week of Christ’s life here on earth, Jesus warns his disciples and the crowds about the hypocrisy of the pharisees and scribes. Jeff Katrody shows us what false righteousness looks like in the first half of Matthew 23.

Jude's letter ends with a blessing, encouraging the Church that God is able to keep them from stumbling. How does He do this? Pastor Chet Lowe explains how Jude's benediction describes the fight for our faith, and how Jesus is building His people. When we receive the Word of God, the power of the Spirit, spiritual gifts, ministry, and His love, we reap the benefits of spiritual discernme...

Looking at the hope of Rahab, Jeremiah, and Daniel, Pastor Jason Huffman shares how biblical hope doesn't disappoint, is strengthened, and, when tied to Christ, is an anchor for eternity. When we have a right understanding of God's promises and do the work He's given us to do in exile, we will share in the peace and abundant life He promises.

Beginning our Christmas series, Glory to God in the Highest, Pastor Chet Lowe explores the shouts of the angels as they praise the Most High God. Throughout Scripture, God, as Creator, is regarded to be in the highest place and position. We, as His creation, need to follow the example of the angels. How? By giving Him praise and honor. When Jesus comes, let Coast Hills be a church found giving ful...

In part 2 of his message on the Greatest Commandment in Mark 12, Pastor Chet Lowe further examines what it means for us to love God and people with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

Finishing out 1 Thessalonians 5, Pastor Chet Lowe focuses on the Church as God's family. Paul exhorts the Thessalonians to act like family—to pray for one another (even the leader!), to keep the perspective of praise, and to be thankful in everything—even through family issues. As we allow the peace of God to impact our personal lives, we will see peace in the family of God.

As we start looking at the Tuesday of Passion Week, Pastor Chet Lowe walks us through the 4 things Jesus' enemies question Him about: Authority, ability, theology and priority. As He patiently answers their questions, He puts into practice what it means to love God, our neighbors and even our enemies.

In the New Testament, our bodies are described as the temple of the Holy Spirit. As Manny Lotito teaches about Jesus' decision to cleanse the temple in Jerusalem, we are challenged to ask the Lord to search our hearts for what needs to be overturned.

In 1 Thessalonians 4, Pastor Chet Lowe explains the doctrine of the Rapture of the Church. Through several "puzzle pieces" of Scripture, we can further understand the glorious picture of what's ahead for Jesus' Bride. Jesus will come FOR His Church and will return WITH His Church. Paul used this doctrine to inspire, encourage, and motivate the Thessalonians, and it's for u...

This week in 1 Thessalonians 3 and 4, Pastor Chet Lowe teaches on Paul's pastoral heart for the Church. Just as Christ gave Himself for the Church, we have the same opportunity to make ministering to others the purpose of our life. As Jesus continues to sanctify us by His Spirit, He will direct and empower us to holiness as we submit and surrender to His power and direction. As we are continu...

As Jesus continues His journey toward the cross, He is getting to the heart of many issues. Manny Lotito explains how Jesus repeatedly inspects and make judgments on the things He finds inauthentic. He does this out of His desire for true spiritual fruit, the joy it will bring to us and the glory it will bring to His Father. 

Romans 11:29 says that the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. During today's service, Pastor Chet Lowe expounds on the calling of God on our lives. God's calling is always based in His Word, but can also be a specific call to a specific purpose at a specific time. Sometimes, the Lord uses surprising ways to call us to a task, and other times it is more subtle. No matter what, God...

The work of the Word of God is powerful! So much so, the enemy will do anything to hinder its work in your life. Today, Pastor Chet Lowe goes over a few of the enemy's tactics. Satan uses persecution to inspire doubt, destruction to cause fear, and obstruction to trip you up in any way he can. He may try to hinder us, but by the Holy Spirit, we can strategize for the Kingdom. In doing so, God...

In John 12, we see Jesus in the home of three friends. Pastor Zach Patterson examines how each one has responded to Jesus' Word and been transformed in the process.

Today in 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12,  Doug Armstrong encourages the church to engage in intergenerational discipleship relationships. Paul set the example as he shared the Gospel with tenacity, with honesty, with purity, and with love—even when it was difficult. Paul says it this way to the young Thessalonian believers: "We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a w...
