Hilliard Christian Assembly - HCA

Human beings are like moths flying around at night - They've been told that the light of truth is merely a manipulated illusion, and that there is only your truth or my truth - Under this influence, anything can pass for light - Though this thought seems to offer maximum freedom, flexibility, and creativity, in the grit of life it isn't fun; there's no structure, guarantees, commitment, or certainty.

Many people have discovered the tragedy of the false light of rejecting objective truth and are open to seeking the true light of the biblical Christian faith.

The difference between a hospital and a country club? Mission - The entire body of Christ shares a common mission for witness to Christ found in Acts 1:8, a commitment to be light bearers by holding the word of life (Phil. 2:15-16), and beacons in every city where we draw people to the glorified Christ who dwells among us (Rev. 1:12-16)  

Joshua's farewell address to Israel called for their faithfulness to the Word and love for God (Joshua 23:1-13, 24:14-15), to avoid syncretism and idolatry.

Troubling impulses from within may have nothing to do with surface concerns, but come from the Lord's further, deeper operation among us (Joshua 22:10-34).

2 and 1/2 tribes chose land east of the Jordan, which, on surface level, was a legitimate choice (Joshua 22:1-6), but the deeper view of the cross exposes the choice as problematic.

One tribe felt their space was too small because they were accommodating the Canaanites rather than driving them out; Joshua rebuked their laziness (Joshua 17:14-18).

The five daughters of Zelophehad are an example of esteeming and valuing the land and fighting for their future in it (Joshua 17:3-6).

Othniel & Achsah are a model marriage of a couple ambitious to grow the blessing of their inheritance in the land all the way to the end of their lives (Joshua 15:16-19; Judges 3:9-10).

Caleb's life provides helpful orientation points for all the people of God who seek to overcome obstacles to faith (Joshua 14:6-15; 15:15-16; Numbers 13:27-33).

God's distributions, whether in the Old or New Covenants, are to be surveyed, explored, and possessed, not ignored (Joshua 13-22).
