Most of us assume that making a real difference requires being gifted, influential, or exceptionally confident, but what if that’s not how God works at all? Listen as we step into Nehemiah 2 and discover that rebuilding what’s broken doesn’t begin with being the best, but with caring deeply enough to wait, to move when God opens the door, and to trust His hand through resistance. As we continue ou...

What do you do when broken things start to feel normal? When the cracks, the gaps, and the unfinished places in your life stop surprising you? Listen as we launch a new series called Rebuild: When God Restores What’s Been Broken, a journey through the book of Nehemiah. It’s a story of long-standing rubble, quiet prayers, and a God who refuses to leave things the way they are. Join us as we begin e...

The week between Christmas and New Year's always feels strange. Our routines are off, the calendar feels blurry, and it’s hard to know whether to rest, reflect, or rush ahead. Listen as we slow down together for Sabbath Sunday, creating space to pause, listen, and thoughtfully step into the year ahead. We spend time in Philippians 3, where Paul offers a surprising vision for how to move forward wi...

Every Christmas, we give and receive gifts, but the first Christmas gifts still have something to say to us today. In this Christmas Eve message, we look at the gifts of the Magi (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) and discover how each one reveals the heart of Jesus: a King who reigns, a God who draws near, and a Savior who would suffer to give us life. Together, these gifts tell the story of a God w...

Let’s be honest, waiting is hard. Waiting for an answer to prayer is even harder. What if God wants to work in the waiting? What if waiting is how we grow our trust and hope in God? Listen as we learn about two often-overlooked characters in the Christmas story who teach us that faithful waiting isn’t wasted waiting.  Join Hill City every Sunday at 10 am at the Costick Center in Farmington Hills,...

What if the greatest threat to experiencing Jesus this Christmas isn’t your weakness, but your resistance? We will look at one of the most overlooked characters in the Christmas story, Herod, and discover how easy it is to miss Jesus even when He’s right in front of us. Herod shows us that a heart clinging to control can’t make room for a King. But the good news is that Jesus still comes to dethro...

Have you ever had life take a sharp left turn you never saw coming? A phone call, a conversation, a moment that shifts everything? Listen as we step into the story of someone who knows that feeling well: Joseph. As we continue our  Characters of Christmas  series, we’ll look at how a quiet, ordinary man learned to trust God when his plans unraveled and nothing made sense. Joseph’s story is a power...

Have you ever said “yes” to something before you really knew what you were agreeing to? Some yeses have the power to change your whole life. Listen as we begin our Advent series, Characters of Christmas, by entering Mary’s story, the teenage girl whose quiet “yes” opened the door for God’s greatest work. Mary didn’t step into God’s plan with clarity or confidence; she stepped in with confusion, fe...

What if the most important thing Jesus wanted to give you isn’t found in a miracle, a breakthrough, or a spiritual high, but at a table? In this sermon, we step into Luke 22, where Jesus gathers His disciples for a meal that becomes the birthplace of the new covenant. It’s a moment of simple obedience, surprising intimacy, and shocking grace, because the table Jesus prepares isn’t just for the str...

Have you ever noticed how your whole body reacts when something valuable goes missing? The frantic searching, the sudden clarity about what actually matters, the flood of relief when it’s finally found. That’s the emotional landscape of one of Scripture’s most beautiful passages, Luke 15. In this chapter, Jesus peels back the curtain on what the Father is really like. It’s a story of lost things,...

We live in a world that’s constantly telling us there’s not enough: not enough time, not enough space, not enough for everyone. But Jesus tells a different story. We’re continuing The Table series and looking at a parable where God throws a feast big enough for the whole world. In Luke 14, we see a Host who keeps expanding the guest list, a table where there’s always room for one more, and an invi...

We continue our series, The Table, and look at how Jesus sent His followers to look for people of peace, ordinary men and women who would help move the Gospel forward in extraordinary ways. The table has always been more than a place to eat; it’s a place where God’s peace, presence, and power are shared. Listen as we learn what it looks like to bring that same spirit into the lives of those around...

Ever noticed how the moments meant to bring you close to Jesus are often the ones that pull you away? Listen as we examine a familiar scene from Luke 10, where Martha opens her home to Jesus, but ends up missing His presence in the process. Her table, meant to host Him, becomes her greatest distraction. In our series The Table, we’ve been exploring how meals with Jesus reveal the heart of the King...

What’s the most powerful moment you’ve ever experienced at a table? Maybe it was laughter that made your stomach hurt, a meal that brought healing after a fight, or tears that spilled over as someone finally shared their heart. Tables have a way of drawing out what’s really inside of us. This Sunday, we step into one of those unforgettable moments in Luke 7:36–50. At this table, pride gets exposed...

Ever notice how Jesus seemed to invite the most unexpected people to His table? This week, we start a new series and step into Levi’s story, a tax collector turned disciple after one simple invitation: “Follow me.” What happened next wasn’t just a meal; it was a picture of heaven breaking into earth. The Pharisees were confused, the crowd was amazed, and lives were transformed. Listen to discover...

What if the life you’ve always longed for isn’t found in doing more, but in living differently? Jesus doesn’t just invite us to believe in Him. He invites us to take up His way of life. In a noisy, busy world that often leaves us weary and worn out, He offers rhythms that bring rest, renewal, and real fruitfulness. Listen as we look at what it means to build our lives around practices that help us...

What would it look like for us to live as Christ’s witnesses right here in our city? What if God has placed you exactly where you are, your street, your job, your friendships, for a Kingdom purpose? This week, we’re opening 2 Corinthians 5:14–21 to see how Jesus’ love compels us, how the gospel reshapes the way we see people, and how we’re sent into the everyday places of our lives as ambassadors...

We were made for family. Yet many of us live in a culture that prizes independence over belonging, leaving us busy, connected, and still deeply lonely. Jesus offers another way. He redefines family, not by bloodline or convenience, but by shared obedience and love. Listen as we explore what it means to practice the way of Jesus together. To become the kind of spiritual family that shapes our forma...

Ever feel like you’re trying to follow Jesus but just spinning your wheels? What if following Him was less about trying harder and more about learning a new way of life? What if His call wasn’t for the impressive or the perfect, but for ordinary people willing to take one step closer to Him? Listen as we discover what it means to move from admiring Jesus from a distance to apprenticing under Him a...

This Sunday we’re leaning into one of Jesus’ most piercing questions: “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?” (Luke 6:46). So often there’s a gap between what we say we believe and how we actually live it out. We say God is our provider, yet we worry. We say He is our protector, yet we fear. We say His way is best, yet we chase after lesser things. The good news? Jesus doesn’t l...

When was the last time you faced a challenge that seemed impossible? This week, we’ll look at one of Jesus’ most surprising questions: “How many loaves do you have?” In a moment when thousands were hungry, the disciples saw only their limits, but Jesus saw opportunity. God still delights in taking what seems small and multiplying it for His Kingdom. Listen as we explore how to offer our time, tale...

In our current series, Questions Jesus Asks, we’ve been discovering that Jesus never wasted words. Every question He asked pierced straight to the heart - uncovering what’s hidden, challenging what’s broken, and drawing us closer to Him. This week, we step into one of the most tender and powerful moments in Scripture, where Jesus looks at a woman caught in the deepest shame and asks, “Has no one c...

Have you ever caught yourself being the "feedback police" with everyone around you? When you point out what's wrong with your spouse, kids, coworkers, or that driver who just cut you off, while somehow missing the glaring issues in your own heart? This Sunday, we're diving into one of Jesus' most challenging questions: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your bro...

What if all of your dreams came true, but at a cost that far outweighed the gain? This Sunday, we’re diving into one of Jesus’ most piercing questions: “What good is it to gain the whole world, yet forfeit your soul?” Listen to rethink what is most important, and what truly satisfies. Join Hill City every Sunday at 10 am at the Costick Center in Farmington Hills, MI, or check us out online at www....

Have you ever felt stuck for so long that you stopped believing change was possible? We’ve all been in those situations. This week, we’re looking at a powerful moment in John 5 where Jesus meets a man who has been physically, emotionally, and spiritually stuck for 38 years. And before He heals him, Jesus asks a surprising question: “Do you want to be well?” It’s a question that still echoes into o...
