Join us starting this Sunday morning at 9:00 and 11:00 for "Dream House (A Study of Wisdom from the Proverbs)," our January-February message series and Home Group companion study. Living wisely in the particular Biblical sense is a lot more interesting and even a lot more fun than many people think.

Why stop reading after the nativity? Join us as Pastor Jane leads us through the rest of Luke 2 – one of the most beautifully written chapters in the Bible. We’ll look at the traditional rituals performed after the birth of a male child, then we’ll witness cameo appearances by two memorable characters, and finally we’ll ponder the emergence of Jesus’ awareness of his unique identity. Join with Hil...

In a famous fantasy series, a pretender-King loses his marbles after looking into a nefarious "seeing stone." Well, Psalm 96 is a "seeing stone" of sorts, but unlike the "Palantir” of Tolkein's famous trilogy, this inspired poem stabilizes the mind rather than destabilizing it. Join us this Sunday morning at 10:00 for a celebratory worship service in which we take a deep look into Psalm 96 and con...

Jesus is not always the king we want.  But Jesus is always the king we need. The prophet Micah gives a description of a coming King with a shepherd’s heart.  We’ll look at how people responded to this prophesy of a Shepherd King in Micah’s day, at the birth of Christ, and today. Join with Hillside Covenant Church as Becky Garner teaches from Micah 5:2-5 (ESV). To view or download a copy...

Join us this Sunday morning for the third week of our Advent message series "Kingly Visions." In addition to a "stocking" full of Christmas carols and an Advent processional featuring Hillside kids, we'll be considering the difference that a "mighty King in our midst" means for daily life in these difficult times. Looking forward to having you join us in-person or online, but hopefully in-person!...

Have you ever been so shocked and appalled by a question someone asked you that you were rendered speechless? It happened to Allison when I proposed to her on Pismo Beach almost twenty years ago (just kidding--I think her speechlessness was joy). Nevertheless, something like that happens in the story from Luke that we are reliving this Sunday morning in the wrap-up message of our "Galilee By Storm...

Throughout our "Galilee by Storm" fall message series, Jesus has been surprising us time and again. In the story that we are reliving this week, Jesus will stay true to form. Friends, if you like high biblical drama (and high trails to hike!), this Sunday is your week. Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday morning at either 9:00 or 11:00 AM for a message called "Life Saving By Storm" from Luke...

I have a happy memory of going to the Santa Cruz Cinema in June, 1993 with a bunch of friends from Camp Hammer to see Jurassic Park . We sat in the front row and screamed and shrieked and laughed throughout the movie, which I loved and still do today (though as a lawyer I found what happened to the Donald Gennaro character a little rough). The message that I'm sharing with you this Sunday as part...
