Hill Country Bible Church Dripping Springs Sermons

Welcome to the Exile 07.02.2021 34:59 ↓

Just as in Peter’s day, there is a stark contrast between the Christian’s and the world’s values. We look like strangers or exiles.

A Life of Confession 24.01.2021 37:05 ↓

We all know that we have done wrong in some aspect. The guilt that comes is inevitable but we not have to deal with the guilt on our own, God offers a better way.

The Church Gathered 17.01.2021 38:29 ↓

We gather not primarily for what the church can do for us but what it does for God and the kingdom. It is to engage in communal life for the sake of the world and the glory of our King.

Reading Scripture 03.01.2021 34:16 ↓

Psalm 1 tells us that the person who meditates on God’s Word is blessed, like a well-watered, fruitful tree. Meditation is a spiritually enriching, fruit-producing spiritual habit.

Hope For Tomorrow 27.12.2020 28:19 ↓

There is nothing that can separate us from the love of Christ

The Right Stuff 20.12.2020 34:05 ↓

700 years before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah taught that Israel could trust the coming Messiah. Remembering His first coming, we can trust the promise of His return.

Hope 13.12.2020 33:32 ↓

Advent is a celebration of Jesus’ first coming and a reminder that He will come again. Even in the face of enormous challenges, God is our Anchor and we can trust in His promises for the future.

Expectation 06.12.2020 29:43 ↓

Advent should bring expectations and expectations always affect your behavior.

Get a Grip on Grumbling 22.11.2020 31:17 ↓

At its core, grumbling is an expression of ingratitude to God.

Habit of Gratitude 15.11.2020 32:48 ↓

Developing a habit of giving thanks requires that we intentionally and repeatedly practice it.

The Temptation of Selfishness 01.11.2020 35:54 ↓

Unity is weakened by selfishness. God calls us to have a bigger view of His Kingdom.

The Temptation of Division 25.10.2020 42:54 ↓

Differences should not create divisions in the body of Christ. Oneness in spite of our differences glorifies God.

The Temptation of Success 11.10.2020 34:42 ↓

Striving for success always comes at a cost. We must recognize how we approach achieving success is as important as what we describe as success.

A Way Out 20.09.2020 39:53 ↓

Temptation is anything that promises satisfaction in place of obedience to God. God is faithful and will always provide a way out.

Truth About Lies 13.09.2020 45:48 ↓

The devil's main strategy against you is lies. Spiritual Warfare is first and foremost about the war to believe truth over lies.

Cross-centered Grace 23.08.2020 36:33 ↓

In the first century, the cross represented shameful, torturous death. Yet Paul points to Jesus’ redeeming work on the cross as the only source of confidence in a Christian’s life.

Communal Grace 16.08.2020 36:42 ↓

A life led by the Holy Spirit produces personal fruit (Galatians 5:22-23a). However, His influence does not end there. He leads us in Christian community as well.

Fruitful Grace 09.08.2020 42:05 ↓

While grace seems “stunningly free”, we do not have the option to walk our own path. We are called to be led by the Holy Spirit. We follow His lead in the spiritual war for believers that continues between our flesh (human nature) and His desires.

Motivating Grace 02.08.2020 40:15 ↓

Gospel transformation is different from moral reformation. Gospel transformation is centered on Jesus’ redeeming work. Moral reformation depends on individual effort. One leads to a motivation from freedom and the other is motivated by fear.

Preserving Grace 26.07.2020 33:22 ↓

Scripture teaches us that we keep our freedom in Christ through faith in the Gospel. Reverting to reliance on our own means leads to slavery, not salvation.

Forward Grace 19.07.2020 33:35 ↓

It is easy to replace one for of slavery for another or to desire to go back to what was once familiar and "safe". Paul reminds us to push forward in grace.
