In this message from The King of Christmas, we see the sharp contrast between King Herod and King Jesus. Herod clings to power through fear and violence, while Jesus reveals a kingdom marked by truth, humility, and self-giving love.

This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts and ask who truly reigns on the throne of our lives, inviting us to surrender to Jesus—the only King worthy of our trust and worship.

In part one of The King of Christmas, we look at Matthew 2:1–11 and the powerful example of the Magi—men who traveled great distance to joyfully worship the newborn King. This message reminds us that at the center of Christmas is not the activity, the traditions, or the wrapping, but Jesus Himself. We learn how the Magi model true worship through joy, time, and generosity, and how we, too, can respond to Christ with humble adoratio...

In this message, we explore the incarnation through John 1:14–18 and discover God’s strategy for healing a broken world. Jesus came “full of grace and truth,” entering into our darkness to redeem it—and He now sends His followers into the world the same way. Learn how Christ-like incarnation shapes our engagement with culture, challenges our tendencies toward either grace or truth alone, and calls us to run toward the pain of our w...

What does real worship look like to God? In Isaiah 58, He rebukes His people for their religious activity that ignored justice and compassion. True worship isn’t just about what happens inside the church—it’s how we love the vulnerable outside of it. When we pour ourselves out for the hungry, the oppressed, and the broken, God promises His light, healing, and blessing. This message calls us to let our Sunday worship spill into Mond...

In Hosea’s marriage to Gomer, we see a vivid picture of God’s redeeming love. Though Gomer is unfaithful and enslaved, Hosea pursues her, pays the price for her freedom, and restores her as his own—mirroring the way Christ redeems us. Redemption begins with the initiating love of a Redeemer, requires a ransom to set us free, and calls for a new allegiance to Him. Through the cross, Jesus bankrupts Himself to buy us back, transformi...

In this message, we look at the story of Mephibosheth—King Saul’s crippled grandson whom King David invites to eat at his table. This powerful passage paints a beautiful picture of God’s grace toward us. Just as David showed undeserved kindness to Mephibosheth, God brings us into His family through Jesus, calling us His sons and daughters. Through this story, we’ll explore what it means to be adopted by God, to sit at His table, an...

In the first message of our Kaleidoscope series, we explore salvation through the lens of justification. In Zechariah 3, Joshua the high priest stands before God clothed in filthy garments—an image of our guilt before a holy Judge. But God removes his iniquity and clothes him with pure vestments, pointing to the greater Joshua—Jesus Christ—who takes our sin upon Himself and gives us His righteousness. Through faith in Him, we are d...

In Acts 9:31, we see a church walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit—and as a result, it multiplies. As we step into a new season at HCC, this verse becomes our vision and prayer: that we would be a people who walk closely with God and multiply disciples. This message invites us to focus on the “underground work” of our souls—cultivating a deep relationship with Jesus that overflows into spiritual gro...

The early church was marked by a radical generosity that flowed from receiving God’s great grace. In Acts 4:32–37, believers freely shared their possessions, ensuring no one was in need, and Barnabas is highlighted as an example of this Spirit-led generosity. This passage reminds us that generosity isn’t about compulsion or rule-keeping, but about the reflex of grace. When we’ve been transformed by the generosity of Christ, we can’...

When Peter and John are arrested and brought before the same council that condemned Jesus, they refuse to stay silent. Filled with the Holy Spirit, they proclaim that salvation is found in no one else and boldly obey God rather than men. This passage shows that true boldness isn’t about personality or volume—it’s the Spirit-empowered courage to honor God in the face of opposition and to speak the truth with both conviction and love...

In Acts 3, Peter and John heal a crippled man and boldly proclaim the gospel, continuing the very things Jesus did throughout His ministry. This passage reminds us that the church is called to embody both compassion and proclamation—bringing healing to a broken world and grace to a lost one. As the body of Christ, we are sent out to continue His ministry until He returns to make all things new.

The first church was more than a gathering on Sundays—it was a Spirit-empowered community devoted to Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and generosity. In Acts 2:42–47, we see believers living life together in unity and witness, embodying what it means to be the family of God. This passage challenges us to move beyond busyness and routine, to embrace devotion, connection, and Spirit-filled fellowship that puts Jesus on display in the w...

On the day of Pentecost, Peter delivers the first Christian sermon, explaining the miracle of the Spirit, connecting it to God’s promises, and declaring Jesus as both Lord and Christ. His message carries urgency, centers on Jesus, and calls for repentance and new life. This passage reminds us of the power and simplicity of the Gospel and challenges us to live as witnesses of its truth today.

The early church didn’t drift aimlessly—they burned brightly with a clear mission. In the first message of our Embers series, we see how Jesus gave His followers a purpose that would shape history: to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. Through Acts 1:1-11, discover what it means to live with that same mission today—demonstrating the life of the Kingdom and proclaiming its message with boldness.
