Hillside Covenant Church

Dear Hillside: I love maps, as well as books, movies, and personal stories about maps. Lost maps, found maps, torn maps, buried maps, burned maps, you name it. Last Sunday we learned that Ephesians 1:3-10 can be imagined as a map. Tomorrow as we turn to vv. 11-14, we complete Paul’s “map of the world.” If you get a free fifteen minutes today, consider reading the whole of Ephesians 1:3-14 and try to figure out how tomorrow’s verses (vv. 11-14) complete the “map” of last Sunday’s verses (vv. 3-10). If you want, try writing the final clause of this “SparkNotes” version of vv. 3-14:

“Praise God for this! Even before placing the first stone of creation, as an outflow of his fundamentally loving character and to display his glory, God decided he would have an earthly, multi-ethnic family, one to complement his heavenly family, who, being united by commitment to his beloved Son, King Jesus, would call him “Dad,” enjoy his freedom, and live together to advance his grand plan of bringing heaven to earth, through the [vv.

11-14]…”

Can’t wait to be with you tomorrow in the presence of Father, Son and Spirit for singing, church life announcements, a message, Communion, and conversation in the Light Lounge.

Come worship with Hillside Covenant Church LIVE at 10:00 AM both online and in person as Dan Seitz teaches from Ephesians 1:11-14.

Dear Hillside: Tomorrow we arrive at week three of City of Wisdom, our fall series from Ephesians. Ephesians is a remarkable piece of inspired literature. One famous scholar called it “the crown of Paul’s writings.” Another called it “the queen of the epistles.” The former president of Princeton Seminary said that to Ephesians he owed his very life.  He went on to say: “[In Ephesians] I saw a new world. Everything was new, I had a new outlook. New experiences. New attitudes to other people. I loved God. Jesus Christ became the center of everything. I had been quickened. I was really alive.” Who knows what God’s Spirit will do among us tomorrow, the family of God, the citizens of his wise city, when we lean in together to study chapter 1, verses 3-10? Consider inviting a friend to join you for the service. Can’t wait to see you!

Dear Hillside: Wasn’t last Sunday’s worship gathering a thrill? I’m still thinking about the stories our fellow Hillsiders told about God “having their backs” through scary and even excruciating circumstances (Note to self: don’t forget to attach the hose). I’m also still thinking of the needs our fellow Hillsiders shared: the need for healing, the need for strength, and the need for God to envelope struggling loved ones in his powerful arms. What a privilege to hear what’s on the hearts of our brothers and sisters in this family. What will God do tomorrow when we gather again? Who knows as we don’t control him. And yet, every worship service is rich with Holy Spirit-possibility because the living Lord is genuinely present with us when we gather before him. So, let’s come to the hill tomorrow with great expectations for how God is going to guide and speak and move. Regarding the specifics, in addition to singing to God, imagining our future, and hearing an exciting Hillside update, we’ll be taking Communion. Looking forward to praising God with you.

Come worship with Hillside Covenant Church LIVE at 10:00 AM both online and in person as Dan Seitz teaches from Luke 10:25-37; Matthew 5:14-16.
