Rise Up, Rebuild, Restore
Today’s message focuses upon Nehemiah 2:11-20. John DeLancey will be sharing another “pictorial message” offering much of the background and context of the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem by Nehemiah. The message is entitled, “Rise Up, Rebuild, Restore.” The text finds Nehemiah now in Jerusalem, carefully inspecting the collapsed walls of the city. John serves as the Director of Biblical Israel Ministries & Tours.
When God Gives You a Burden
We’re glad you’re here as we launch our new summer series, Hand Me Another Brick, a verse-by-verse journey through the book of Nehemiah. Today Pastor Mark begins with the message, “When God Gives You a Burden.” Before God rebuilt Jerusalem’s walls, He first stirred the heart of one man.

Families on Mission
We’re glad you’re here as we celebrate Father’s Day and conclude our Learning to Love Well series. Today Pastor Mark shares the final message, “Families on Mission,” from 1 Peter 3:1-9.

We’re also grateful to conclude our Spring Season of Prayer, thanking the Lord for the many ways He has answered prayers,…
Grace for Imperfect Families
Today Pastor Mark continues our Learning to Love Well series with a message from the story of David and Bathsheba. We’ll discover that no marriage, family, or personal story is beyond God’s redeeming grace. Whether you’re carrying regrets, facing challenges, or simply longing for hope, God’s grace can write a new chapter. We’ll also celebrate with those publicly professing their faith through believer’s baptism at the close of today’s services.
As For Me and My House
We’re glad you’ve joined us as we continue our Learning to Love Well series. Today Pastor Mark will be preaching Part 4, “Forgiveness: Oxygen for a Family.” Every family and every relationship eventually experiences hurt, conflict, and disappointment—but God does not leave us without hope. Through His grace, forgiveness can bring healing, freedom, and restoration where bitterness and pain once lived.

Speaking Life at Home
Today we continue our 7-week series “Learning to Love Well” as we give some focus to how words can heal or wound, and the importance of godly communication as a spiritual discipline. We will spend some time learning from an individual in the scriptures that is a kind of unknown heroin in the Bible. The short glimpse of a significant point in her life makes a profound statement and helps us to learn how we can use our words to…

We’re glad you’re here as we conclude our We Are Hillcrest series with Pastor Mark’s message, “Hillcrest Is Growing” from John 15. Today we’ll be reminded that real spiritual growth doesn’t come from trying harder but from abiding in Jesus—the true source of life and lasting fruit. We’ll also gather around the Lord’s Table celebrating communion and our shared life in Christ. Let’s worship the Lord as we reflect and respond to Him together!
Hillcrest Is United
Have you ever wondered why churches sometimes struggle with unity—or why it’s so hard for people to truly come together? We all long to belong somewhere real… a place where relationships are strong and purpose is shared. Today we continue We Are Hillcrest with Part 3: “Hillcrest Is United,” as Pastor Mark opens Ephesians 4 and shows how unity in Christ is both a gift and a calling
Hillcrest is a Family
We continue our series, “We are Hillcrest.” As individuals and as a church, our identity is defined by our Lord. What does His Word tells us about what it means to be Hillcrest Church? This morning we consider the church as the family of God. Whether we’ve had positive or not-so-great experiences with our own families, God’s Word teaches us about the characteristics of a healthy church family.
