Prepare the Way for the Lord is an Advent/Christmas journey that invites us to walk alongside John the Baptist as we ready our lives for the coming of Christ. Through the stories of Zechariah and Elizabeth, the miracle of John’s birth, his bold ministry in the wilderness, and his call to compassion and repentance, we’ll rediscover what it means to live expectantly in a world longing for light. Each week opens space for reflection on prayer, grace, doubt, silence, generosity, and the ways our lives can point more clearly to Jesus. As Christmas approaches, we stand with the first witnesses who testified to the Light, preparing not only for a holy night but for a transformed way of living shaped by Christ’s coming presence.

This November at Hilltop we’re exploring Jesus’ call in Luke 12 to live with open hearts and open hands. In a world that tells us to cling tightly and worry constantly, Jesus invites us into a different life: a life of trust, joyful generosity, and freedom in God's abundance. Over three weeks, we’ll discover how trusting God forms generous hearts, and how generosity unlocks the deep joy of the Kingdom.

This sermon series explores the heart of the Wesleyan way of following Jesus while also celebrating what makes HILLTOP United Methodist Church unique. Together we’ll dive into the values that shape our faith—like God’s grace freely offered to all, and the call to live a life of holiness where Christ’s love transforms us, our communities, and the world. We’ll see how The United Methodist Church is deeply rooted in Christian tradition and carries forward a legacy of compassion, care, and courageous response to injustice. And we’ll reflect on how Hilltop has lived out that tradition in our own community—through ministries of service, hospitality, and everyday discipleship. This series is an invitation to rediscover not only who we are as United Methodists, but also who we are as Hilltopians living faithfully into the 21st century.
