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?

From Unimpressive to Unforgettable

In a world obsessed with image and qualifications, God looks at the heart. This message kicks off our summer series on David by reminding us that God often chooses the unimpressive to do the unforgettable. Whether you're feeling overlooked, underqualified, or unsure of your next step, this sermon will encourage you to see how God might be calling you—right where you are. Watch now and be reminded: if service is beneath you, leadership is beyond you.

Between Rest and Readiness

Ever found yourself stuck between what’s familiar and what’s next? Have you ever wondered what God is doing in those uncertain seasons? Today, we explore how God intentionally uses our moments of quiet waiting—not as wasted time, but as purposeful preparation for something greater.

If you could set aside all your responsibilities for a day and do whatever you wanted, how would you spend it? The seventh day is a gift from God. When God rested on the seventh day of creation, He showed us just how powerful—and necessary—rest truly is. More than that, He invited us to experience that same kind of rest with Him.

But let’s be honest, between packed schedules and busy minds, real rest feels almost impossible. And when we don’t rest, we don’t just burn out … we miss out on understanding the God who created us. Practicing the Sabbath isn’t about checking another box, it’s about restoring our souls and reconnecting with the One who gives us peace.

Maybe it’s time to say, “Enough is enough.” The Sabbath isn’t just a break—it’s the answer to the deepest needs of your soul.

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.

When Our Load Exceeds Our Limits

In a world that never stops, what if rest is actually the way forward? This message explores God’s invitation to Sabbath—not just as a break from work, but as a gift that renews our joy, heals our minds, and creates space for God to move. Join us as we look at Isaiah 58 and Philippians 4 to discover how Sabbath rest leads to lasting peace, deeper faith, and true delight in the Lord.

Rest is Resistance

Feeling worn out, stretched thin, or like you can’t slow down? In this message, Pastor Brian unpacks the meaning of Sabbath—not just as a day off, but as a bold act of trust and freedom.

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? In this series, we explore the ancient yet life-giving practice of Sabbath—God’s invitation to stop, rest, delight, and worship. We’ll learn how creating margin in our busy schedules not only refreshes our bodies and minds but also restores our souls and deepens our relationship with Him. Whether you’re overwhelmed by work, family demands, or just the pace of modern life, discover how Sabbath can bring the peace and transformation you long for.

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. When you move at the pace of Jesus, you can experience the peace of Jesus.

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. We, the followers of Jesus, are called to move beyond hearsay about Christ and into a life changing encounter with the living Jesus for ourselves, placing our trust in the hope that only He can offer.

For most Christians, following Jesus is often reduced to rules and regulations. What if there’s more? What if following Jesus was more about what you do than what you don’t do? Imagine what your life would look like if you truly learned how to follow the leader and do what Jesus did! 

Jesus’ invitation to his first-century audience was an invitation to both intimacy and action. Come and discover that truth for yourself this Lenten season on a journey through the “travel narrative” section in the book of Luke.

WARNING: Your life will never be the same if you Follow the Leader.

Break the Cycle

We all fall into patterns—habits, behaviors, even beliefs—that feel impossible to escape. But what if there’s a better way? In this Palm Sunday message, we look at the triumphal entry of Jesus through the lens of Zechariah 9:9 and discover that following Jesus doesn’t just lead us out of sin—it breaks the cycles that keep pulling us back. Ready to follow the Leader? Let’s walk it out together.

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.

Let's Throw a Party

No matter where you've been or how far you've wandered, there's always room for you at the table of grace. This message from Luke 15 reminds us of God's relentless love and joy when the lost are found. Whether you're the prodigal, the older brother, or somewhere in between, this sermon invites you to step into the story of grace, celebration, and spiritual family. Don’t miss the party—come and see what the heart of God really looks like.

How Does God Heal?

Come explore Luke 13:10–17 and discover the healing purpose of Jesus. Whether your pain is physical, emotional, or spiritual, Jesus meets you where you are—with power to heal, restore, and set you free. This message is a reminder that God’s timing and method of healing may vary, but His purpose never changes.

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. Are you ready to lay down self-sufficiency and embrace the transforming power of Jesus? This message is for you.

Proximity Versus Productivity

Are you feeling overwhelmed, constantly busy, and struggling to keep up? In this sermon, Follow the Leader, we explore Jesus’ invitation to a different way of living—one that prioritizes presence over productivity. Through the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, discover how following Jesus isn’t just about doing more but about moving at His pace. Watch now and learn how to check your pace, change your posture, and experience true rest in Christ.

Church on the Hill welcomes Bishop John Pena Auta.

No matter what you’re facing—personal struggles, uncertainties, or spiritual exhaustion—He renews those who put their hope in Him. Just like eagles soar above the storm, God lifts us up and carries us through. Don’t miss this encouraging word that will help you trust in His power and find rest in His presence. Watch now and be renewed!
