Have you ever thought about whether the journey of becoming the person you want to be starts long before you consciously decide to do something? The decisions we make, even the ones that don't seem important, affect the course of our lives. On the other hand, what do we do when we're tired, stressed, or lacking energy? How do those important choices show up at those times?

This message series, “Ahead of the Curve,” looks at the practice of looking forward. Let’s learn to think ahead, anticipating the crossroads and challenges that lie ahead. By aligning our choices with God’s purposes, we can navigate life’s twists and turns with wisdom and intentionality. Connect in this message series as we explore how to stay ahead of the curve and always follow God's road no matter the circumstances.

Well, it's right up the road: this weekend is WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. As a sort of fun "tie-in," join HCC for this one-week message—Believe-A-Mania: Tag Team Champs—Salt & Light There may not be a direct link between this sermon and our own wants or preferences, and you may not feel a connection right away, but I am sure that if Jesus were here, He would choose this exact topic.

A friend’s betrayal casts its shadow, the Sanhedrin convenes, the scourging embarks, & the cross looms large, its splintered wood against a bruised sky.

In A Couple of Days, One Week, we explore Jesus’ Passion Week & how it altered the course of humanity forever. This week contains raw emotions, heavenly purpose, & cosmic significance. It’s not just a history lesson, but an invitation as are not spectators, we are participants. Journeying through a couple of these days, we wrestle with doubt, embrace grace, face our own betrayals, & experience the weight of nails & Jesus’ words, “It is finished.” Yet, Sunday morning brings the victory of an empty tomb, a seismic shift that reverberates across time.

This Easter season, join us as this ancient story still pulses with life & freedom, all from A Couple of Days, One Week.
