Hill Country Bible Church Sermons

Many people struggle with the Christmas story because it seems so unbelievable. But what if I told you that the Christmas story didn’t begin with a virgin who found herself pregnant with God’s Son,... but rather an equally unbelievable event that transpired thousands of years prior to the birth of Jesus? Join us as Pastor Bryan begins a mini-series, entitled: “Who Needs Christmas?”

Endurance is the ability to keep moving forward even when it's tough. It's a character quality we desperately lack in our society these days. From month-to-month apartment leases, to escape clauses in contracts, to prenuptial agreements, to free agency in sports... our culture actually promotes a lack of endurance. Join us as Pastor Bryan lifts a few lessons from the life of Noah that wi...

Have you ever had a moment where it felt like you were fighting with God? One of those times when you faced a situation or a struggle in your life that was so difficult you could feel it at the core of your soul. Join us as we explore how God can be found in the fight.

Often, when God asks you to GO and do something, it's challenging and requires faith on our part. But what do you do when God asks you to go do something that seems downright crazy? Join us as Pastor Bryan walks us through what is arguably the most bizarre request God has ever given a human being.

Without some kind of periodic "jump start" in life, things tend to grow old, and become dull and routine. Join us as Pastor Bryan explains how behind every "GO!" God calls you to, there's a fresh start that'll energize your life!

When God interacts with individuals in the Bible, He often urges them to simply "Go." And when those individuals follow God's calling, by faith, there are unique challenges they face. Join us as Pastor Bryan launches a new series exploring how we can learn from various Old Testament characters how to respond to the divine "go" in our own lives.

Have you ever started a project and got sidetracked before it's done? Or maybe you get so frustrated along the way that you just give up? It's something we all do from time to time... and usually it's not a big deal. But, when it comes to our relationship with God, it's so important to know how to get back on track and keep going. Join us as we wrap up our series, 'The Exp...

What does it mean to have a personal relationship with God? The Bible says Christians have the Holy Spirit living inside of them, but how do we learn to recognize His leading and promptings in our lives? Join us as Pastor Bryan presents a simple framework for experiencing God.

Have you ever been confused when people talk about being led by God and hearing God's "still, small voice"? If so, you're not alone. Join us as Pastor Bryan continues to explore the topic of how we learn to hear and respond to God's Spirit living inside of us.

God is always with us... but are we aware of His presence? God is speaking... but are we listening? Join us as we continue our very practical, Biblical study of how to stay connected to the living God, through a 60-day experiment we're calling "The Experience."

At Hill Country Bible Church, we talk a lot about "doing life with God." But what does that mean, and what exactly would that look like on a day-to-day, moment-by-moment basis? Join us as Pastor Bryan introduces a 60-day experiment that could radically change the way we live our lives.

The moment we put our faith in Jesus, we are saved by God’s grace and our spot in heaven is assured. So the question becomes… “Now what?” Join us as Pastor Bryan introduces a new spin on a classic parable of Jesus.

It's the thing we desire the most when we've wronged someone else, but it's also the thing we want to give the least when someone has wronged us. It can never be earned or worked for, it is simply given. God's grace toward us is a beautiful thing. Join us as we look at the incredible grace of God.

C.S. Lewis once said: "If there lurks in our minds the notion that to desire our own good and enjoyment is a bad thing, I submit that this notion... is no part of the Christian faith." What if God wants only the best for us? What if His way leads to the most joy and pleasure in life? Join us as Pastor Bryan discusses what the Bible really says about "the good life."

Sometimes a gift can seem too good to be true. Is that the case with God's gift to us in Jesus? Join us as Pastor Bryan launches into a new series exploring the depths of what is known as "free grace theology," and how that should impact our daily lives.

The Apostle Paul leaves us with two powerful lessons as he wraps up his first letter to the Thessalonians. First, how to test if a message is truly from God. And second, how you allow His Spirit to work in your life. Join us as Pastor Bryan concludes our series: "Live Like There's No Tomorrow."

The age old question that so many of us still want an answer to... What does God want me to do? What is God's will for my life? Well, Paul gives us some clear instructions on how to live in relation to others and to ourself, and says... "This is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. This Sunday we'll answer the question... What is God's will for my life!

Did you know that Jesus is going to return to this world twice? First, in the rapture. And second, in what the Bible calls "The Day of the Lord." Join us as Pastor Bryan shines light on concepts that often confuse Christians... the 7 year tribulation, Armageddon, the Second Coming of Christ and the Millennial Kingdom.

Jesus is coming. And while nobody knows the exact day or hour, each moment brings us one step closer to His return. Are you ready? Are you living your life as if He could arrive at any moment? Join us as Pastor Bryan discusses God's plan for the future and the impact that should have on our daily lives.

Why do we work where we work, and is it the right place for us? How does your job affect you here on earth and in eternity? Join us as we explore how we can and should be A-Typical at work!

A global Gallup poll shows that 85% of people are unhappy in their jobs. That's typical in our current culture. But God has a better way to approach work and he has a purpose for it as well. Let's talk about being A-Typical at work.

There’s an old saying that goes like this: “To live above with the saints we love… Oh, that will be glory. But to live below with the saints we know… Well, that’s another story.” Join us as Pastor Bryan explains the challenges and blessings of living in authentic, loving community with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

God’s ways often don’t align with our ways… but He promises they will lead to the best life possible! Join us as Pastor Bryan continues our study in the book of I Thessalonians, with a series called: “A-Typical!"

What the world teaches about the topics of sex, community and work is a far cry from what God instructs us in His Word. Join us as Pastor Bryan launches a new series from the book of I Thessalonians, entitled: "A-TYPICAL."

One of the emotions that many are feeling right now is sadness. Maybe it's from isolation or unmet expectations... or maybe life just didn't go as you planned. In this message, we will look at what made Jesus sad, but also what made him full of joy and how we can be filled with joy again as well.
