Hill City Church

We have spent the last two weeks learning how important our spiritual family is to our formation into the image of Jesus. But is family supposed to play another role in our lives? As you might assume, the answer is a resounding YES! Not only does the family of Jesus help us become like Jesus but it also helps us do what Jesus did. In a world that models family less and less, the family of Jesus can proclaim the gospel in word and how they love one another. Listen as we discuss how our love for one another can be our greatest picture of the gospel we give to the watching and waiting world around us.

“We Are Family” dominated the music charts in the late 70’s. Sister Sledge had a certified hit on their hands. They sang this line repeatedly, “We are family. I got all my sisters with me. We are family. Get up, everybody, and sing!” But here’s the question… Is family still something worth getting up and singing about? In the eyes of Jesus and the church, the answer is YES! Jesus created a new family when He came and this family is essential for our apprenticeship to Him. It’s in this family that we experience the most significant growth. Listen as we discover how family is the space of deepest formation in each of our lives.

The book recommended in this sermon is The Connected Life by Todd Hall. You can find it here.

Community is everywhere yet rates of loneliness increase every year. Our world is more connected than ever, but that doesn't seem to be enough. Why is that so? Because connection isn't the same thing as community. Jesus understood this and invited His followers into something much deeper and more meaningful than community. He invited them into a family. Listen as we jump back into the practices that make up our Way of Life and discover how Jesus brought us together as a new family of God.

What do you think is needed to be the kind of person who experiences the full expression of joy God offers? As we wrap up our summer series, we look at the closing section of Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi. We see how Paul challenges the Philippians to bring forth God’s Kingdom into their city. As we do this, we simultaneously see how God is calling us to the same way of life.

We all face issues in our lives. Some are relational, some are circumstantial, and others are emotional. The question isn't if we'll face issues, but what will we do when those issues arise. Will they steal our joy away or will we lay them before Jesus? Listen to Pastor Aaron Hicks from Rise Church (www.therisechurch.com) as we look at Philippians 4:1-9 and discover what we need to lay down so that we can walk in joy even when issues come up in our lives.

Have you ever had something you thought was so valuable only to find out it was totally worthless? Have you ever had something that previously brought you great joy lose its luster? There are many things in this life that seem praiseworthy, that seem to bring us joy or seem to have great value. There is, however, only one source of true joy that is lasting and will never fade away. Listen as we dive into Philippians 3 and discover where our joy truly comes from.

Who is someone you have looked up to? Someone you were able to look at, watch their life, and want to be like them. Someone who showed you what it means to serve and sacrifice like Jesus. Learning to follow Jesus is often taught through the lives of others. Listen as we look at the end of Philippians 2, where Paul gives us two striking examples to follow.

The Olympics are in full swing. Whether you enjoy watching sports or not, the Olympics bring most of the world together around activities that sparks joy, competition, connection, and celebration. We see individual athletes coming together as a team to get a chance to stand on the podium for the world to see. As we continue in our series, Joy Full, we see how Paul’s words are like an Olympic coach that spur God’s people on to live in the world like bright shining stars.

"That was totally worth it." I'm sure at some point in our lives, we've all uttered that phrase. It is often used to describe a moment, but what would it look like if it defined your life? What would need to happen? What would you need to add to your life? Paul urges the followers of Jesus in Philippi to live a life worthy of the gospel. Listen as we talk about what that kind of life looks like and how you can live that way.
