Hill Country Bible Church Dripping Springs Sermons

Running from God is seldom about a change of location. You can run from God in your relationships, in your work, in your own heart and not know you're running. Let's think about what it actually means to run from the god of grace.

Here's a principle for you: as human beings made in the image of God, we don't live life based on the facts of our experience. We live life based on our interpretation of the facts. Every human being is a philosopher, every human being is a theologian, every human being is an archaeologist, who will dig through the mount of his existence to make sense out of life and the way you interpret life will form why you do the things you do, why you say the things you say.

How are we to approach people far from God is full of grace and truth by choosing to invest in our relationships with them and then at the right time making an invitation that would be appropriate for them to come and know God?

We tend to think that evangelism is about mastering massive amounts of apologetic material so whatever somebody asks about we're ready with an answer. No matter the objection you give I have an answer for that and no one in this room feels comfortable to answer every question that might come your way. So, we tend to say nothing.
We think sharing about Jesus is fairly simple and it's not as intimidating as you think and it actually can be easier than you think because ultimately evangelism or proclaiming the good news of Jesus is simply this: helping others find Christ in ways that are natural to you.

Relationships define your life. For good or evil. Relationships define your life.

Huge numbers of Americans today say to pollsters, “Oh, I’m spiritual, but I’m not religious.” If you listen carefully, what that means is, “I’m interested in God, but I’m not interested in the church.” They’ve lost hope for the church, but if they understood Scripture, they might have hope for the church.

It is clearly the most important topic that a human mind could ever consider. It is the thing that defines everything in your life. It is a thing that is mistakenly connected to religion, but is vastly bigger than that. It is a thing that separates you from the rest of creation. It is the topic of topics. It is worship.

This Psalm can answer the question, “Will life ever get better?”

Few things in life are as important as finding your purpose. When you understand something’s purpose, you can put up with all kinds of inconvenience and pain because of it.

Knowing that God has a purpose for you would transform how you see everything in your life—what you do with your blessings; how to interpret your pain. So how can you discover that purpose for you?
