Pastor Phil recaps our Wednesday night Bible study through the book of Romans

Episode 2 covers Romans 1:18-2:16

This session covers the controversial passage on homosexuality.  There is growing evidence to revaluate this passage in light of the Roman culture and our new understandings about orientation and gender.

Hartford City Church respects all people regardless of their interpretation of this passage and is committed to the full inclusion of all people into the Body of Christ regardless of sexual orientation or gender.  All are welcome and everyone is invited to saving faith through Jesus Christ

Not like the world's peace!  When we understand more about the concept of Shalom, we are reading to listen to the words of Jesus, and let Christ's Peace (Shalom) rule in our hearts

Thank you for listening and supporting our ministry

Jesus took care of his humanity by spending time in creation, with the Creator and by creating.

Take a listen to this insightful message from Christy Page ~

Mary's encounter with the risen Jesus Christ

Mary Magdalene is the first witness, the apostle to the apostles, and the first to preach the gospel of the resurrection.  She plays a huge role in why Christianity is alive and well today!

Jesus Christ, however, takes center stage as the One who is truly Savior and Lord.

May this reflection on the Easter story, encourage, inspire, and equip you to also be a bearer of the Good News!

Listen in as Pilate recounts the events of that fateful night when he met Jesus of Nazareth face to face

A meditation upon St. Patrick's prayer and how Christ's presence can permeate our lives

Like Zacchaeus, many of us are looking for Jesus but can't see Him because of the crowd.  Yet consistently and faithfully Jesus is looking for all of us, calls us by name, and we must respond to that call.

May this message encourage and inspire you to respond to the call of God upon your life!

Jesus heals us mentally and emotionally as well as physically.  

Listen to this story of a woman who came to Jesus for healing, but found so much more. The power of faith is not in the size of our belief, but in the infinite love of God.

May you experience the power of God's presence through Jesus Christ in your own life today!
