The defining mark of a disciple isn’t knowledge, power, or success—it’s love. Loving well, however, requires deep formation: a love for God that is whole and wholehearted, a love for ourselves that is healed and humble, and a love for others that is active, sacrificial, and generational.

This Lenten season, we’re choosing to love with our lives, our resources, and our legacy. We believe now is the time to unleash the church for what comes next so that we clear the way for ministry, mission, and multiplication that will outlive us. This is a season of deep surrender, bold trust, and lasting love. Because to love God is to give Him everything and to love people is to make room for their future.

Love That Frees

What does it mean that Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life”? In John 11, we find a Savior who steps into grief, stands before a sealed tomb, and calls a dead man back to life. This is not just a story about what happens after we die. It is about the places in us that already feel lifeless. It is about the habits, fears, regrets, and disappointments that wrap around us like grave clothes. In this message, we explore how love calls us out of what binds us so new life can begin. Resurrection is not just something we believe in our heads. It is a reality we are invited to live from every single day. And when Jesus calls us out, the community of faith helps unbind us so we can walk in freedom together. If you have ever wondered whether something in your life is too far gone, this message is for you.

Made to Shine

In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind, but the real miracle is not just restored sight, it’s revealed truth. While religious leaders miss what’s right in front of them, the man who once was blind sees Jesus clearly and shines with God’s glory. As we stand on the edge of Lent, this message invites us to ask a vital question: Are we seeing Jesus clearly enough to shine, or are we missing Him because we’re looking someplace else?

Made to Trust

What do we do when trust has been broken by people, situations, or even disappointment with God? This week’s message dives into the difference between trust as a noun and trust as a verb. Through the story of the official in John 4 and real-life testimonies from within our own church, Pastor Steve leads us to the heart of active, surrendered trust in a faithful God. Whether you’re in a season of waiting, hurting, or rebuilding, you were made for more than self-reliance. You were made for relationship, for eternity, and for a deeper trust that grows even through the hard things.

Made to Belong

  • Brian Butcher
What if real change doesn’t start with effort, but with surrender? In this powerful message from our Made for More series, we explore the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus—a deeply religious man confronted with the need not for improvement, but for rebirth. Pastor Brian unpacks what it truly means to be “born again,” not as a moment of moral adjustment, but as a complete transformation of identity through the Spirit of God. Whether you’re wrestling with belief, stuck in religious routines, or longing for more in your life with God—this message is an invitation to stop striving and start receiving the new life Jesus offers. You weren’t made to just get better. You were made to be made new.

Holy Disruption

In a powerful and timely message, guest speaker Josh Clemons walks us through Jesus’ cleansing of the temple in John 2. What seems like a moment of anger is actually an act of deep love, a holy disruption aimed at restoring sacred space. Through this story, we are reminded that Jesus will not allow anything to stand where God intends to dwell. With historical and modern reflections, Josh challenges us to consider what Jesus might overturn in our own lives, communities, and churches today.

Made for Transformation

What happens when we respond to God's invitation? In this sermon from John 2, Pastor Jeff explores Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana, a quiet, almost unnoticed act of extravagant grace and transformation. Through the simple obedience of servants, water is turned into wine, reminding us that God meets us in the ordinary and turns it into the extraordinary. Real transformation doesn’t always come with fireworks; it often begins with one quiet decision to say yes. No matter how cracked or forgotten we may feel, when placed in the hands of the Master, our lives reveal His glory.

Made to Seek

We kicked off the new year by asking one of the most important questions we face: "Why am I here?" This message from John 1 shows us that faith doesn’t start with striving or searching; it starts when we’re found by Jesus. Our identity and purpose are not discovered through self-help or hustle, but through the simple yet powerful invitation Jesus gives to every one of us: "Come and see." When we encounter Him, everything changes. And just like those first disciples, when we’ve been found, we’re called to go and find others. This message will inspire and challenge you to step into your calling with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Prince of Peace

In the chaos of the holidays and the noise of everyday life, true peace often feels out of reach. But Scripture reminds us that peace isn’t just the absence of conflict; it’s the presence of Jesus. In this message from Pastor Jeff, we’re reminded that Jesus is our Sar Shalom, the Prince of Peace, who doesn’t just calm external storms but rules over our inner world too. Learn how to receive His peace daily and become someone who carries that peace into the lives of others.

Everlasting Father

  • Brian Butcher
We all receive things from those before us, some beautiful, some broken. In this message, Pastor Brian Butcher explores how the arrival of Jesus, our Everlasting Father, offers us the chance to stop regifting pain and dysfunction and instead begin passing along hope, peace, and joy. Through Isaiah’s prophecy and Jesus' words, we are invited into a better exchange: our mess for His mercy, our dysfunction for His renewal. This Christmas, what will you regift?

Mighty God

In a world filled with darkness, disappointment, and brokenness, Isaiah 9:6 offers more than a temporary solution; it promises a Savior who is both mighty and deeply personal. In this Advent message, Pastor Steve Wood reveals the transformative power of God's love that doesn't just reach the world broadly but reaches us individually. Jesus is not just a far-off king; He is the God who knows your name, who fights for you, and who offers His peace personally. This message invites us to surrender not just our problems, but our entire selves, to the One who came to rescue and redeem us completely.

Believe in His Wonders, Trust His Wisdom

In this Advent message from Isaiah 9:6–7, we’re reminded that Jesus isn’t just able to work wonders: He’s willing. We often pray for quick fixes to hard situations, but God offers something deeper: real redemption and wisdom in the midst of struggle. Jesus, our Wonderful Counselor, works miracles and guides us through every season. This week, we’re invited to pray a simple but powerful prayer: “Come, Holy Spirit.” Believe in His wonders. Trust in His wisdom. He has come, and He is still at work.

Finding Eden in Your Exile

How do we hold on to hope when life unravels? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Brian explores what it means to live faithfully and fruitfully even in the midst of suffering. Drawing from the story of Joanie and the words of Jeremiah to exiles in Babylon, we're reminded that our pain doesn’t disqualify us from God’s purpose: in fact, it may be the very place where God’s redemption begins. Discover the hopeful, transformative truth: you can find Eden even in your exile.

Wake Up, Rise Up, Light Up!

In a world that feels like it's constantly shifting, where leaders stumble, cultures change, and institutions crumble, one truth remains: the cross still stands. In this message from our series The Domino Effect, we’re reminded through Colossians 4 how to live anchored in unshakable hope. With clarity and passion, we’re called to wake up in prayer, rise up in community, and light it up in our witness. This isn’t just a message to hear: it’s a call to action for every believer ready to carry the unchanging truth of the cross into a world that desperately needs it.

Jesus Christ: Our Identitiy

Too often we fall into the trap of trying to change ourselves through willpower or behavior modification. This message reminds us that in Christ, we are not just improved: we are made new. Pastor Steve explores how to live out this identity, not by managing sin, but by intentionally embracing who we already are through Christ. When we clothe ourselves daily with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and love, the Holy Spirit equips us to live transformed lives from the inside out.

Jesus Christ: Your Life

This week at Church on the Hill, Pastor Jeff continues our Colossians series by calling us to fully embrace the freedom of a new life in Christ. Drawing from Colossians 3, the message challenges us to stop carrying around the weight of who we used to be. When we surrender to Jesus, our old selves can be buried for good, and we can rise each day into a renewed identity shaped by grace, not our past. This sermon is an invitation to let go of what’s been holding us back and live fully in the transformation God offers.

Jesus Christ: Risen and Ascended

In a world full of noise, pressure, and chaos, it's easy to feel like life is falling apart. But what if the problem isn’t just the pressure: it’s what’s at the center? In this message from Colossians 1, Pastor Jeff Coleman reminds us that only Jesus has the power to hold our lives together. When Christ is at the center, everything else finds its rightful place. This is not just a theology lesson: it’s a lifeline.

The Tipping Point

Spiritual transformation doesn’t start with flash or fame: it begins with a single faithful step. In this introduction to our Colossians series The Domino Effect, Pastor Jeff explores how spiritual maturity is measured not by speed but by rootedness in Christ. Like a domino set in motion, the movement of God often begins in obscurity with one person saying "yes" to God. Discover how a faithful life, deeply planted in Jesus, can spark a ripple of transformation in your world and beyond.

A Love That Believes

This message closes out our I Love My Church series by looking at Hebrews 11, the “Hall of Faith.” Every church, including ours, was built on the faith of those who came before us. Now it’s our turn to live with the same kind of faith: to believe before we see, to trust God with the process, and to leave a legacy for the next generation. We are reminded that the church isn’t about buildings, but about people who pray, give, love, and serve with bold trust in God’s promises. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of church this is, this message will show you and inspire you to step into the future God is writing through us.

Love that Welcomes

This message challenges us with one of the most profound calls of the gospel — to love people like Jesus loves us. As we continue in the I Love My Church series, we explore what it truly means to be the church — not just attend one. Through real-life heartbreak, raw honesty, and the steady truth of Scripture, we’re reminded that God accepts us as we are but loves us too much to leave us that way. Love, in the model of Jesus, always includes grace and accountability. This message invites us to ask the hard question: Who is God calling me to love?

The Community of the Church

In the face of life’s challenges, the early church found strength not in individual faith alone, but in deep, devoted community.

We’re reminded that we’re not meant to do life in isolation.

Love in Serving

We often think of serving as something we do during the holidays or when it fits into our schedules. But Scripture paints a much deeper, fuller picture, one where serving becomes the shape of our calling. In this message from Pastor Janet Whitaker, we’re invited to see service not as a seasonal task, but as a response to freedom, an outpouring of love, and a way to reflect God’s goodness. Through personal stories and biblical truth, we’re reminded that love in action changes lives starting with our own.

A Love for Life

In a culture that favors comfort and convenience, the call to commitment can feel countercultural. But the church was never meant to be a place we simply attend: it's a family we're planted in. In this message, Pastor Jeff Coleman shares what it means to love the body of Christ with a love that lasts. Through stories of faithfulness, scripture, and honest reflection, we're reminded that maturity, rootedness, and real impact come when we stay, serve, and grow together. This isn’t just about going to church; it’s about becoming the Church.

You are God's Plan: There is No Plan B!

God has chosen you as His method to share the good news—there is no backup plan. In this message from our “I Love My Church” series, we are reminded that the call to be sent isn’t just for pastors or missionaries; it’s for every believer. Drawing from Romans 10, we explore what it means to be a church that welcomes, grows, and serves while carrying the hope of Christ into our homes, workplaces, and communities. Your feet—wherever they go—carry the gospel, and your presence brings the ministry of encouragement, compassion, and grace.

Prayer Always Precedes Power

What if prayer isn’t what we do before the real work—but is the real work? In this powerful kickoff to our I Love My Church series, Pastor Jeff reminds us that prayer is where revival begins.

Truth Can't Stay Hidden

In 2 Samuel 12 King David shows how hidden sin inevitably surfaces and carries real consequences. But God offers grace through conviction, not condemnation, calling us to confession and transformation. We are reminded that while sin can be forgiven, its fallout must still be faced—and that God can redeem even our worst failures for His glory. Ultimately, the message is clear: God’s truth and love cannot stay hidden—and neither can ours.

Coasting Cultivates Compromise

David was once a humble worshiper, passionately pursuing God. But in 2 Samuel 11, we see him drift—complacent in his calling, compromising his character, and covering up his sin.

To Have a Friend, Be a Friend

The Battle's Over! Are You Still Fighting?

What if the battle you're fighting has already been won? In this powerful message, we look at the familiar story of David and Goliath through a new lens—one that stretches all the way back to the Garden of Eden and points us forward to Jesus. Goliath isn’t just a giant; he’s a symbol of evil. David’s victory isn’t just an underdog story; it’s a preview of the ultimate victory Jesus would win on the cross. Whether you’re battling shame, striving for approval, or feeling like you don’t measure up—this message is a reminder: you don’t have to fight for God's love. You get to rest in it. The war is over. The question is… are you still fighting?

Sabbath: God's Gift to Us

We wrapped up our Sabbath series by focusing on worship as the natural response of a soul that’s satisfied in God. Sabbath isn’t just a day off—it’s a gift, a different kind of day, a day set apart for God. Like the Israelites learning to trust God through daily manna, we’re invited to trust and obey by creating space to stop, rest, delight, and worship. Worship isn’t just about what happens on Sunday mornings—it’s a way of life that flows from a rested heart. That’s the goal: to live in a way that says, “God, I trust you,” because He shows up, He provides, and He satisfies our souls. STOP - REST - DELIGHT - WORSHIP because it’s our Sabbath.

What is Your Lie

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel stuck in a cycle of busyness, overwork, and exhaustion. But what if God designed us for something better?

Are You Dangerously Tired

Our society seems to reward hustle and glorifies busyness, but many of us find ourselves dangerously tired—emotionally drained, spiritually dry, and physically worn out. In this message, we explore Jesus’ invitation to “come away and rest,” discovering that even good work can leave us depleted if we don’t learn the rhythm of Sabbath. Through Scripture, real-life stories, and the wisdom of Christian voices from diverse backgrounds, the challenges for us is to slow down, examine our exhaustion, and embrace rest as a sacred gift.

The Rumor is True

While the resurrection of Jesus was first met with doubt and disbelief, dismissed as nonsense—even by His closest followers. But as the risen Christ revealed Himself, the rumor became reality, transforming fear into faith and death into life.

Jesus Calls Coworkers

In this message, we follow Jesus on His journey to Jerusalem, stopping in Jericho to witness two powerful stories—one of a blind man and one of a tax collector named Zacchaeus. Both are transformed by an encounter with Jesus. But their stories don’t end with healing or forgiveness—they begin there. Jesus doesn’t just call people to receive; He calls them to follow. Whether you feel unseen, unworthy, or unsure, this message invites you to move from being part of the crowd to becoming a co-worker in Christ’s rescue mission.

Invitation to Weakness

We've been conditioned to see weakness as something to avoid, but Jesus calls us to embrace it. In this powerful message, we dive into Luke 11:37-53 and Luke 12:1-5, where Jesus issues strong rebukes to the Pharisees for their hypocrisy and self-righteousness. Through His words, we see a clear invitation—not to pride, but to humility; not to self-reliance, but to dependence on God. True strength is found in surrender. When we acknowledge our need for Jesus in all things, His grace meets us in our brokenness, and His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Join us as we explore what it means to come before God with a heart that is humble, dependent, and fully surrendered.

The Mountain and the Mission

Have you ever had a mountaintop moment? Most of us have. Transfiguration Sunday is our mountaintop moment, where we glimpse the glory of Jesus before descending into the valley of Lent. Just as Peter longed to stay on the mountain, we often desire to remain in moments of spiritual high, yet Jesus calls us to move forward—toward Jerusalem, toward the cross. This message invites us to listen to Christ, follow Him in obedience, and embrace the journey of Lent as a path of transformation. As we walk the way of the cross, we remember that the radiance of the Transfiguration points us to the depth of Christ’s love revealed on the Cross.
