HFCC Christ Centered Hope for Today's World

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, Gary Froiland takes us on a journey back to the nation's beginnings to uncover the true intentions behind its founding. Together, we examine the founding documents, the words of America's leaders, and the inscriptions carved into the monuments of Washington, D.C., all of which bear witness to the central...

How do you respond when God's plans don't make sense? In his previous message, Embracing God's Plans, John Grams introduced us to the prophet Habakkuk, a man who struggled to understand why God seemed to allow evil to flourish. Like many of us, Habakkuk brought his questions honestly before the Lord. Now, in the final chapter of the book, we witness an incredible transformation. Habakk...

Father's Day. For some, it is a day to celebrate a dad who has been a source of strength, guidance, and love. For others, it is a painful reminder of someone who is absent...or someone whose choices left wounds that still remain. What do you do with Father's Day when your father is missing? What if he was never there? What if the relationship is complicated, painful, or broken? In this mes...

We all have those moments when God throws us a curveball. We expect life to go one way, only to find ourselves facing something completely different. In those moments, we are often left scratching our heads and asking, "Lord, what are You doing?" That is exactly where we find ourselves today in 2 Kings 5. Here we meet Naaman, the mighty commander of the Syrian army. Though feared by his...

As we continue our Walk with Jesus alongside Jim Barnhart, we arrive at one of the most significant moments in the life of Christ: His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. As Jesus rides into the city on a humble donkey, He fulfills prophecies written centuries before, providing powerful evidence of His identity as the promised Messiah. Yet this event is far more than a historical fulfillment. Within t...

Miraculous healings are found all throughout the Bible. We read these accounts and stand amazed at the powerful works God has done. Today, Gary Froiland returns and takes us to Luke 6, where we find a remarkable example of faith in the healing power of Jesus. But the person Luke chooses to highlight may surprise you. This leads us to an important question: Was miraculous healing only for days gone...

Every one of us eventually comes to a crossroads in life: a moment where a decision must be made. Sometimes those choices affect our future here on earth...and sometimes they affect eternity itself. Today, we continue our Walk with Jesus as He arrives in Jericho. Sitting along the roadside is a blind man named Bartimaeus. He is desperate, overlooked, and seemingly without hope. Yet when Jesus pass...

Jim returns as we continue our Walk with Jesus, arriving at the famous account of the rich young ruler who asks the question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” At first glance, Jesus’ answer can almost seem contradictory to the rest of Scripture. But when we look deeper at what was really happening, the meaning becomes clear. Does keeping the Ten Commandments make it happen? Is doing more...

Today, on this special Mother’s Day message, Gary explores the beauty, value, and God-given role of women from a biblical perspective. From the very beginning of creation, God established woman with dignity, purpose, and significance. As we journey through Scripture, we also discover God’s compassion and provision for those facing difficult circumstances, revealing His heart for family, love, and...

Every single one of us have experienced times in our lives where we have petitioned God in prayer...only to seemingly be met with silence. We seek Him over and over, perhaps even resorting to pleading over understanding what is going on, and yet no answer seems to come. But what if God has a plan that far exceeds what our mind can even handle? What if, what God is doing, is so far beyond our compr...

As we continue our walk with Jesus on His journey back to Jerusalem, we come across a moment that feels all too familiar… the disciples arguing among themselves about who is the greatest. In Gospel of Mark 9, Jesus uses this moment to turn their thinking upside down, saying, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” Humility does not come naturally to us… yet it is ess...

One of the most widely misunderstood commandments in all of Scripture is found in Exodus 20:7: “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.” MIn this message, we explore what it truly means to be an ambassador for Christ, representing Him to a watching world. Every word we speak, every action we take, and every attitude we display reflects something about the God we claim to serve. A...

Jim Barnhart returns and resumes his series on a Walk with Jesus. Today, we stop in Mark chapter 9 and see a father begging for healing of his epileptic son. And the layers involved create avenues for us to explore on the subject of healing. Like most subjects, you often find two extreme views on the matter, when often the answer does not fully fall with either. We explore the idea of spiritual bo...

He is Risen! Today we celebrate the promise kept by Scriptures when Jesus was resurrected to His glorious new body, conquering death once and for all and claiming victory over sin's grip on mankind. Today, Gary brings not just a moving, but also a historical based message as we take a look at some of the evidences of His resurrection. Many wonder what happened after He left, and today we take...

Good Friday. The remembrance of one of the darkest days in history, and yet a day that saw one of the greatest triumphs at the same time. When Jesus drew His last breath at His crucifixion, something unprecedented happened that many have never understood. In this powerful message, we explore the moment Jesus died… and what happened that changed history. The temple veil was torn. This was no ordina...

It’s Palm Sunday, and today we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem: welcomed as a King by crowds who sang, celebrated, and laid down the equivalent of a red carpet before their Messiah. But while the people rejoiced, the religious leaders were anything but pleased. Why? Today, Gary Froiland returns to unpack this powerful moment in history. And as we look closer, we find that even in th...

Jim concludes our Walk with Jesus journey to Jerusalem as we approach His betrayal and sacrifice. In Mark 10:32 to 45, we see yet another example of the disciples missing the heart of what Jesus was teaching. James and John seek to claim a promise from Christ, but they do so through a worldly lens: one focused on position, status, and glory rather than humility, suffering, and service. As Jesus co...

Jim continues our Walk with Jesus as we come to a pivotal moment at Mount Hermon. Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain, where they witness a stunning revelation that leaves them overwhelmed and wondering what they have just seen. As Jim walks us through this powerful passage, we are reminded that God reveals His truth in His time: His perfect time. Even when we do not fully understan...

All throughout Scripture, we see inspiring prayers of faith, praise, confidence and even anguish. WE serve a God that delights in hearing and answering our prayers, but that does beg the question: How should we pray"? John Grams takes the pulpit today and explores this question by zeroing in on one of the defining prayers recorded in the Gospels: The Prayer at Gethsemane. Here we are painted...

Today, Donn Schroeder returns as he takes us into the Old Testament book of Ruth, exploring the powerful story of Naomi and her faithful daughter-in-law, Ruth. After years in a foreign land marked by loss and heartbreak, these two widows return to Bethlehem empty, poor, and uncertain of what lies ahead. To Naomi, it feels as though God has withheld His blessing. She even declares that the Lord has...

Life is a Highway... The popular song holds true in many ways. Life is like a journey. A road. And along the way as in real life driving, there are signs we encounter. Some of warning, some of direction, and others to guide us. But each serves a purpose. Gary Froiland returns today focusing on this exact thing. He takes us through the various road signs we will face, and applies Biblical principle...

Every one of us feels it at some point: the sinking weight of failure. Falling short of what we know God desires. Falling short of who we want to be. That quiet sense of condemnation can creep in and pull us down. But praise God… the apostle Paul knew that struggle too. In the opening chapters of Romans, Paul writes a Spirit inspired declaration that has brought hope to millions across the centuri...

Jim Barnhart returns and takes us into both Mark and Matthew to explore a strange miracle where it appears Jesus wasn't able to do it correctly...the healing of a blind man that required a second touch. Or could there be more behind this unique event than appears at eye level? Today, Jim takes us both through historical and mythological backgrounds to explain the area Jesus and His disciples w...

Every single day we all face temptation of some sort. Perhaps it is pressure from the world to deviate from some aspect of your faith. Perhaps it is to fall to some sort of sin. Or perhaps it is simply to doubt your self worth facing a perfect Creator... Whatever the struggle is, Jesus faced it. Today, Jim Barnhart takes us to Matthew 4, where we take a look at a 40 day period where Jesus faced te...
