Dear Hillside: This week in the third-to-last message of our James series, Just Do the Word, we’ll be experiencing another “cold plunge,” and in more ways than one. Nevertheless, we’re confident that Pastor James’ strong words in James 5:1-6 are our loving God’s inspired words, so we’ll listen securely and with the intention to “do” what we’ve “heard” in the power of the Spirit he poured into us. Have a great Saturday Hillside, and see you tomorrow for a rich service of musical praise, a report from “field agent” R.F., a message from God’s word, and plenty of hugs, handshakes and fist bumps to go around. Can’t wait to see you!

Come worship with Hillside Covenant Church LIVE at 10:00 AM both online and in person as Dan Seitz teaches from James 5:1-6 (ESV).

What if the greatest danger isn’t making bad plans—but allowing our good plans to distract us from the life God has placed in front of us? We spend so much time preparing for tomorrow that we can easily overlook the people, needs, and opportunities already within reach.

This Sunday, we’ll explore James 4:13–17 and what it means to invite Jesus not only into our beliefs, but into our work, ambitions, decisions, and dreams. Join us as we consider what a fully integrated life with Christ might look like—and what God may be asking us to do right now.

Come worship with Hillside Covenant Church LIVE at 10:00 AM both online and in person as Kian Ameli teaches from James 4:13–17.

Dear Hillside: Not long ago I read about an unfortunate soul who tried to escape a DUI investigation by dropping off the roadway and scampering for freedom. The problem? The state was Louisiana and the terrain was swamp. A swamp filled with gators. What you imagined happened happened, though it could have been far worse as the man only suffered minor chomp wounds. I’m tempted to laugh but I dare not because if I’m honest I have to admit I’ve ended up in my own “swamps” from time to time. And to escape the “gators” I’ve needed the particular grace James prescribes in this week’s passage. I (Dan) am looking forward to sharing with you what God gave me in the “cold plunge” verses James 4:1-10. Enjoy your Saturday and see you tomorrow at 10:00 AM for our weekly time to celebrate God and cheer each other on in the great race of faith.

Hello Hillside!

Josh Lund here. Normally I’m leading the worship team on Sundays, but this week I have the privilege of preaching on James 3:13-18.

Have you ever wondered how human wisdom differs from God’s wisdom? Or what it looks like to truly live out the wisdom that comes from God? This Sunday, we will explore the contrast between earthly and heavenly wisdom, with the goal of finding practical ways to follow Christ as we lean on his wisdom.

Join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM for worship, connection, and a message from God’s Word. Also don’t forget to join us after the service for some Second Sunday fun!

See you there!
