Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Apr 1, 2007

The foundation we build our life on is absolutely critical to what kinds of followers of Christ we will be, or maybe whether we’re His followers at all. It takes two key things: 1. hearing the Word of God 2. responding in obedience to God’s Word

How's Our Faith?

Contributed by Paul Norwood on May 7, 2018

As summer approaches, we get check-ups on our home and car air conditioning systems but perhaps we need a "faith" check up. The question in the sermon title is asked rhetorically and then we examine Peter's faith (along with ours) from Luke 22:31-34.

I. Welcome II. Introduction With blooms everywhere and temperatures in the 80’s, we know summer is just around the corner. As school lets out and the temperatures push higher, there are certain things that might need some attention. I know I’ve already had my home A/C checked and, before taking a ...read more

How To Handle A Sanballat

Contributed by Brady Cook on Jan 6, 2022

Usually, when we talk about Nehemiah, we focus on the wall. But what about the conditions he built it in -- namely, discouragement? - How are you supposed to focus on doing God's Work when others are trying to constantly tear you down?

https://hillsidechurchofchrist.com/how-to-handle-sanballat-and-tobiah/ Usually, when we have a sermon from Nehemiah 4, we fixate on a single verse: “The wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.” (Neh. 4:6) We then dissect this verse and what it means to have ...read more

Seeing Past The Labels Series

Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008

We tend to think that the whole goal is to “get saved.” But God wasn‟t interested in just saving us a future eternity. Jesus came to start a revolution in the here and now! Jesus came to turn the world right side up and inside out.

1. Overview and Review a. We have been learning what it means to be turned inside out, both on a personal level and on a church wide level. b. God finds every one of us inside centered, self-focused, self-absorbed, self-interested, and selfish. But that doesn‟t stop Him does it? He found ...read more

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 30, 2008

In short, Jesus is teaching us how to pray. Jesus said, “After this manner therefore pray ye.” The word “manner” simply means “in this way.” Jesus was saying that this is the way we ought to pray.

How's Your Diet?

Contributed by Curt Cizek on Sep 21, 2007

We get so much watered down theology these days. We need to have a voracious appetite for God’s word. This is an encouraging message to get after it.

When our son was born he was feeding very well. We found out later he had acid reflux. He was basically on a starvation diet because he wasn’t eating very much and he wasn’t keeping much down at all. When I went to Ranger school I lost about 20 pounds in just a few weeks and I was fortunate to ...read more
