Hill Country Bible Church Dripping Springs Sermons

In this episode we chat with Mandi McNutt about her role as Worship Leader.

Are you living the bold, purposeful life you were designed for? In this sermon, we explore how God's revealed mystery can transform your life from ordinary to extraordinary. Discover how the same gospel that turned a persecutor into an apostle can unlock your potential and infuse your life with meaning and courage. Uncover the secret to breaking free from the chains of timidity and step into the boldness that is yours in Christ.

This week we explore the powerful message of unity and reconciliation in the body of Christ. Invisible walls and comfortable tribalism can stifle the transformative power of the gospel. To be a part of God’s diverse, unified community we are called to step out of our comfort zones, break down barriers, and embrace the radical peace and kinship that Jesus offers.

This week we explore the profound transformation that occurs when we become Christians. We are more than "just improved" but brought from death to life. Through the radical nature of God's grace and mercy, offered when we are rightly subject to His judgment, does He give us a new life and purpose in Christ.

This week in our Ephesians series, we see how our self-perception shapes the way we live. Rather than having an identity built from the world's perspectives, we must recognize we are treasured by God, and empowered by His mighty strength.

Mandi McNutt is our Worship Director. We see her front and center every Sunday, so we thought it would be fun to learn a bit more about her early days and thoughts on serving the Lord. Stick with us to the end where Bernie takes Mandi through a lightning round of questions followed by the presentation of a unique gift.

The book Mandi mentions is "One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are." It was written by Ann Voskamp

Acts 10 has a story of the radical inclusivity of the Gospel where Peter and Cornelius's unlikely encounter challenges deeply ingrained cultural and religious boundaries. We see that true acceptance and salvation cannot exist without the specific revelation of Jesus. We are challenged to consider hidden biases and boundaries and urged to move beyond mere tolerance to genuine community by building a counter-culture of grace that transcends societal divisions.

We explore the story where Saul, an accomplished Pharisee in a world obsessed with performance and achievement, was confronted on the road to Damascus. Here, this unlikely persecutor of the early church, is chosen, transformed, and sent as a beacon of hope to the entire world. This message challenges us to embrace our own transformation and mission by recognizing God's grace doesn't just save; it sends us into the world to introduce others to Jesus.

In this sermon, we explore the powerful story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch from Acts 8:26-40—a story of God breaking down racial, cultural, and spiritual barriers to bring the gospel to the margins. Discover how God's invitation extends beyond our human boundaries, how He prepares hearts long before we speak, and how His mission leads us to people we often overlook. This message will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and follow the God who crosses every border to seek and save the lost.
