Hill City Church

Listen as our guest speaker, Terry Robinson from Cru Inner City Detroit, dives into a powerful moment in Scripture where Jesus calms a raging storm with just His voice and in doing so, invites His disciples (and us) to move from fear to faith. In a world full of uncertainty, fear can take many forms: fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of the unknown. But through the storm, Jesus shows us that tru...

Everyone has an opinion about Jesus, but what do you say? This weekend, we’re diving into a new series and one of the most important questions Jesus ever asked: “Who do you say I am?” Your answer doesn’t just reveal what you believe. It shapes who you are, how you live, and what your life is built on. Listen as we explore Peter’s powerful confession in Matthew 16 and discover how one honest respon...

We all love gifts, and that’s what we’re talking about this weekend. Not the kind you wrap in a box, but the kind the Holy Spirit wraps inside  you.  You’ve been uniquely gifted by God, not just to  be  part of the church, but to  build  it. Whether your gift is teaching, serving, encouraging, giving, or something else entirely, it was never meant to sit on the shelf. Listen as we explore how your...

Have you ever wondered how the Holy Spirit works in our lives? He's called guide, advocate, and comforter, but what does that actually mean when we are at work, in the checkout line, or sitting in construction? Listen as we take a practical look at the Holy Spirit's role in forming us to become more like Jesus. Join Hill City every Sunday at 10 am at the Costick Center in Farmington Hills,...

Have you ever wondered what the Holy Spirit actually does, beyond the mystery, emotion, or churchy language? Listen as we’re talking about who the Holy Spirit really is and how He’s actually been involved in your life long before you even realized it. From those gut-check moments to the quiet pull toward something more, the Spirit is way more personal than you might think. From conviction to new l...

Something happened in a room with 120 people, and the world has never been the same. Wind. Fire. Unexpected language skills. This weekend, we’re looking at the world-shaking moment when the Holy Spirit showed up and turned a prayer meeting into a global movement. What happened in that upper room wasn’t a one-time event. It was the beginning of a new kind of life with God. Listen as we explore what...

How many subscriptions do you have? Netflix? Amazon Prime? Some food or grocery delivery service? We live in a world that makes it so easy to consume all sorts of things. In this world that is constantly inviting us to consume more, achieve more, and isolate more, what does it look like to actually practice the way of Jesus together? Listen as we explore how ordinary rhythms like teaching, meals,...

How are you at keeping secrets? Have you ever received news that you just couldn’t keep a secret? For many of us, we treat the gospel like a secret to be kept rather than news to be shared. What if the gospel we carry isn’t just true, but urgently needed, right here, right now? In a world where people are deconstructing faith, questioning truth, and searching for meaning in all the wrong places, i...

What do you do when you have a decision in front of you? Do you make a pros vs cons list? Fast and pray? Seek wise counsel? Whether you’re facing a big life decision or simply navigating everyday choices, we all long to know: What does God want for me? In the space between Jesus’ ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit, the early disciples found themselves waiting, wondering, and trying to fig...

This Sunday was Mother’s Day, and we’re celebrating the Spirit-empowered women who shaped the early Church. Join us as we explore Acts 1:1-11 and look beyond the Ascension to the movement Jesus launched through ordinary people. Together, we’ll see how Jesus' mission was accomplished through women and men who were led by the Holy Spirit. Listen to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that yo...

Many of us have had moments where we’ve over-promised and under-delivered in our faith. Whether it’s a big fall or a quiet drifting, shame has a way of whispering, “You’re not good enough” or “God’s disappointed in you.”  Listen as we’ll look at how Jesus meets us in those exact moments—not to scold or shame us, but to restore us. Through the story of Peter, we’ll see that, with Jesus, our failure...

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things, but coming up empty? Like you're casting your nets over and over again, but nothing’s working? You’re not alone. The disciples knew that feeling, too, and what happened next changed everything. Listen as we start a new series following the disciples after the resurrection and explore a powerful story from John 21 about what to do when...

Easter is a day of joy, hope, and expectation. At Easter, we celebrate that the tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive! This Easter Sunday, we’ll trace the story of the Gospel through the gardens of Scripture, and we’ll discover how God is doing something powerful in every garden! The journey through the gardens is a journey from brokenness to beauty, from death to resurrection, and you’re invited to b...

Have you ever been caught in a love-hate relationship? One of those complicated spaces where emotions run deep, loyalties are tested, and motives are often misunderstood? It’s the kind of relationship where affection and animosity collide—where you might love what something or someone offers but hate what they stand for. Listen as we look at John 15:18-16:15 and see how Jesus opens our eyes to a l...

Every classic movie adds music to heighten the suspense of the story. From movies like Jaws to Rocky to Star Wars to Jurassic Park, music adds to the impact a movie scene has on a person. Even if you don’t know what’s happening, you can tell by the crescendo of the soundtrack you’ve reached an important part of the film. The music is changing in the Upper Room and we’re getting close to the climax...

Ever wish you had a personal guide for life? Someone to give you wisdom, guidance, comfort, and a sense of peace no matter what comes your way? In John 14:15-31, Jesus reveals that we have exactly that in the Holy Spirit! He’s not just some distant force but a helper who comes alongside us in every area of our lives. Do you want to know who the Holy Spirit is and how we can walk with Him? Listen a...

Before GPS was in all of our pockets, there were things called maps. If you didn’t know where you were going, you’d pull out the map, find where you are, and plan out your path to help you get to your desired destination. It’s a lot easier now with GPS built into our phones and cars. The truth still remains: if you want to go anywhere, you need to have a plan to get there. Listen as we continue th...

Have you ever had a bad day? We all have had those days where nothing seems to go right. In John 13, we meet Jesus in a moment that would make any of our days a bad day. But Jesus, in His final hours with His disciples, demonstrates and teaches what it truly means to love. Listen as we continue our series, Upper Room, and learn how to live out Jesus’ love in our daily lives. Join Hill City every S...

Peanut butter and jelly. Burger and fries. Grilled cheese and tomato soup. Bacon and eggs. Coffee and dessert. Certain things around us just go together. What would you say goes with a life of apprenticeship to the way of Jesus? Is it love? Is it service? Is it sharing the gospel? Listen as we start a new series walking through John 13-17, known as The Upper Room discourse. In these chapters, Jesu...

Think back to the start of 2024. Where were you? What were your goals and plans for the new year? What did your faith look like? Friendships? Family? Career? Now, here's a more important question: Are you closer to Jesus now than you were then? Our hope and heartfelt prayer is that you answer yes.  Since the beginning of 2024, we have been walking together through our Way of Life as a church f...

What is your reputation with the outside world? The early followers of Jesus were known for their unique way of life together. This is what it meant to bear witness. Most of evangelism in the early church was simply people living radically different and deeply good lives. As a result, people were drawn into the beauty of the gospel. Listen as we discuss what it looks like to live a life that begs...

Weddings. Birthday parties. Sporting events. Meals. What do all of these have in common? We are often invited to these events. Invitation is foundational to some of the best things we can experience. The same is true when it comes to our faith. In our series, Witness, we have been discovering our call to live as witnesses of the gospel. Listen as we discover a modern method for preaching the gospe...

We all love good food. There is something special about sharing a meal together. Some of the best moments in our lives have happened around a table. What if God designed it that way for a strategic purpose? In Luke 19, we read that Jesus came "to seek and to save the lost." How does He invite us into this work today? All through the New Testament, apprentices of Jesus are commanded to fo...

What’s the best news you’ve ever received? Everyone loves to give and get good news. We can’t help but share with others what we have heard. Why is that easy with good news but more difficult with the gospel? Our culture is increasingly hostile toward the idea of sharing the gospel, which has slowed the spread of the gospel in our current moment. What if part of the pushback is because we have mis...
