Hill Country Bible Church Dripping Springs Sermons

As we behold the glories of Jesus Christ, we will become more like Him.

The church is the community of people who know Jesus intimately, proclaim Jesus confidently, and obey Jesus sacrificially.

Rather than superficial religion, we need supernatural regeneration based on the authority of God's Word, for this work of God produces holiness of heart and it reaches all peoples.

Our worship of Christ is a direct reflection of our belief in Christ. We could also put it this way: What we believe about Jesus will determine everything about how we worship Jesus.

Jesus' parables tell of a kingdom that, despite being unrecognized and rejected by some, is already accomplishing its purpose in the world, and it will one day be gloriously consummated, resulting in eternal judgment for those who reject the gospel and eternal life for those who genuinely trust in Christ and treasure His reward.

When we see Jesus for who He is, we can either repent and receive His mercy, or we can reject Him and experience eternal judgment.

Although followers of Christ may experience doubt, we must trust in and submit to the truths of God's Word concerning who Jesus is and what He has provided for us in the gospel.

We don't just live to celebrate this good news; we live to spread this good news.

Jesus meets our greatest need by providing for the forgiveness of our sins and by defeating death on our behalf.

Jesus possesses absolute authority in the world and warrants absolute allegiance from the world.

To follow Jesus means to live with radical abandonment for his glory, to lay down and leave behind all things in order to live for the King, with joyful dependence on his grace, faithful adherence to his person, total trust in his authority, and to live with urgent obedience to his mission.

Jesus overcame temptation through his relationship with the Father by relying on his Word.

Repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of behavior.

Only God could have orchestrated the details of Jesus’s early life, fulfilling every prophecy about his origins.

Jesus is the Messiah promised to us in the Old Testament.

God never intended for us to walk alone. Authentic community in which we deeply know others and are known by others is necessary for a victorious faith life.

A blessed life is a life of confession.

Psalm 119 The Bible is God’s authoritative Word, showing us clearly who God has been in the history of humanity and what he desires for us individually.

Christmas Eve service

Two thousand years ago when God shined His light into the world to deal with the darkness, after that we are still waiting for Him to put a total end to the darkness—and that will come at the next Advent when Jesus returns. And we know that the Gospel is the deepest solution to all of our problems, but we also know that in between, right now, between today and eternal salvation in heaven, that the...

If the time is coming, if Jesus is on the way, if Advent is really happening, then what kind of people are they being called to be? And the answer to that question is not just a historical one, but it is also one that is quite relevant for all of us. Because as they waited for Jesus to come the first time we wait for Jesus to come the second time, and there are a lot of similarities in how we can...

The word advent, literally defined, just simply means “coming.” And so the purpose of Advent season oftentimes is thought of as a time to look back and to remember when Jesus came: His coming as a Christ-child, His coming as a baby in a manger, as the long-awaited and promised Messiah who would save the people from their sins. So that tends to be how we think of Advent. It’s looking back and remem...

“From Him, through Him and to Him” is really the essence of the Christian life. And an opposite mentality – “from me, through me, and to me” – is the fundamental problem with mankind and why hell exists. So let’s use this framework to look at these verses and the glory of God.

We may forget that Christ is actually a title. It’s not Jesus’ last name. So, Jesus Christ should be understood as Jesus, the Christ. It’s a title. Christ is the New Testament equivalent of the Hebrew word Messiah. So Christ is equivalent to Messiah, which literally means ANOINTED ONE.
