Hillside Community Church

Today Pastor Robbie teaches us about the unity of the church and how we are to be unified in one body, Christ's body, which is the church.

Today Pastor Robbie spoke on the truth of God's majesty and power, and how he is able to do far and exceedingly beyond what we can ever possibly think or imagine.

Today Pastor Robbie looks at Paul's prayer for the Ephesians and explores just how amazing and incomprehensible God's infinite love for us is.

Today Pastor Robbie walked us through the beginning of Chapter 3 and pointed continued talking about the importance of the church, the mystery revealed within it, and how God example's his glorious wisdom to the world and even the Angels.

Today Pastor Robbie explained how the church is being built into a Holy temple for the Lord. With all of us as citizens of God's Kingdom and members of God's family. We are being built up and around the Chief cornerstone that is Jesus Christ. We are called to be an active part of God's church and God's family.

Today Carl Gutzman walks us through Ephesians 2:10 and highlights how we can make 2024 a great year by fulfilling our divine purpose by growing in fellowship with Christ, and by serving God and his people with the gifts and works he set apart for each of us.

This week we looked at the Christmas story in Luke 2. Pastor Dan encouraged us to live out the amazing reality that this story is true! And To proclaim the good news of Jesus birth, death, and resurrection this Christmas season.

Last week we learned about the problem of Sin and the fall of man in Genesis and how God was planning and promising Jesus even from the beginning. Today Pastor Robbie speaks on the promise of a savior king who would come from Bethlehem. This promise, the promise of Jesus, is the hope that kept the Israelites alive in the old testament, and is the hope that keeps us going today.

As we begin our Christmas series this year we begin by looking at the original problem in Genesis 3 that fractured our life with God and with others. But in this passage we also get a glimpse of a Savior to come to redeem mankind.

Many of us believe and proclaim a belief about grace, but often struggle to let that gift transform us. In this message, Paul unpacks the gospel as a gift from God that changes how we relate to God, to ourselves and to others.

In this section of Ephesians, Paul describes the reality of our spiritual state. But despite the sobering truth, Paul goes on to explain the hope of Christ who makes dead people alive.

In Acts 17, we see that Paul was provoked by the idols of the city he was in. This caused him to engage with the people and share the truth of the gospel with them. As we are in our 3rd week of the GO conference, we focus on what it looks like to be provoked and share the gospel locally in the places we call home.

We have discussed a lot of different tools for interpreting the Bible, now it's time to put it all together with an example. How do we take a passage, identify the genre, look at the context, and then apply it to our lives?

How can we as a church make a difference globally? In Acts we learn about the church at Antioch which gave their best to bring the gospel to the unreached places. In week 1 of our GO Conference we hear from our missions partners Samuel Getachew as well as Mike and Kim Adams, on how we can change the lives of those in Ethiopia.

How can we live with hope in a world that's so upside down? In this passage of Ephesians, Paul reminds his readers of the great power and authority of Christ that is far above all other rule, power, authority and name. Our confidence is in the power of Christ even when it is unseen to our natural eyes.

In this section of Paul's letter to the Ephesians he prays for the church that the eyes of their hearts would be opened to know the hope and greatness of their inheritance in Christ.

As Paul concludes this section of praise, he gets at both the inheritance to come for the believer, and the downpayment of that inheritance that we received as a guarantee of what is yet to come.

We all want freedom, but where is true freedom really found? Often we think it's in the absence of any restrictions, but the New Testament would teach us the opposite. In Ephesians 1:7-10 we learn about the freedom of forgiveness and God's masterplan of uniting all things under Christ.

As we continue our series in Ephesians, Paul continues to unpack the spiritual blessings that we have in Christ. This week he focuses on the reality of us being chosen to be holy and blameless and adopted.

While the Bible is one sweeping story, it is composed of several books and in those books, several different kinds of literature. So in order to read the Bible well we need to know what type of biblical literature we are reading. In this episode we explore the various genres from historical narrative to poetry and biblical law.

This week we kick off a brand new series looking at Paul's letter to Ephesus. In verses 1-3 we focus in on the gospel identity that Christ gives us and the reality of the spiritual blessings that we receive.

Not only we want to do life with God and life with others, but we also all have a mission to live out in this life. All believers are called to ministry and pursue the great commission. In this message, we look at the third and final core value: Life on Mission.

When coming to the Bible, it's important that we have some big picture guardrails to keep us on track. In this podcast episode, Robbie and Dan discuss 5 picture guardrails to guide us to a proper interpretation and application of the Bible in our lives.

While we need a vibrant life with God, we also need a vibrant life with others. Community is essential to the life of a Christian. In this message, we explore how the gospel comes with community as we look at 1 Thessalonians 2:8.

We begin a new series looking at our core values as a church. These core values are the way we fulfill our mission of making disciples of reach Vermillion and the world. The first value and starting point of all we do, is fostering a life not just for God, but a life with God.
