Well, good morning. If you are wondering why our stage is amped up a little bit, it’s because this week was sports camp for our kids. We had over 800 kids here, 200 volunteers, the place was hopping all week, and it was awesome. Hang on a second, we [...]

So I’m going to go ahead and ask you to go ahead and grab your Bible and make your way to Daniel 8. We are kind of doing part number two of what we started last week. Last week I said we did a series.. not a series, but a message titled, “When Chaos [...]

It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine. I know that’s a weird way to start a message. It’s a weird way to start a message, but we are coming to kind [...]

Good morning. Welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you are here for week number five for our journey through the Book of Daniel. Preparing for this particular message has been convicting for me this week. My prayer is that God uses it for a similar way [...]

Good morning. Hey, let me just add my thank you to the volunteers. I am so grateful you are doing that. A good friend of mine, Chad Moore down at Sun Valley said something a couple of weeks ago that grabbed my attention. He said, the church is not a [...]

Good morning. Welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you are here for week number three for our “Thrive” series, as we work our way through Daniel, kind of asking the question, what does it take to thrive as God’s people in a culture that thinks people [...]

Good morning. Welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you are here for the launch of our new series, “Thrive.” We are going to be spending the next few months going chapter by chapter through one of what I think is one of the most interesting books in the [...]

Happy Easter. So glad you are here. I know a lot of you are joining us from The Mill. We are so glad you are here. You are in the quad. We are packed out here, and that’s awesome. We are, in case you are wondering about all of the dirt you see [...]

Hey, welcome to Mission Hills on this Palm Sunday. If you have no idea what that means, that’s cool. Don’t worry about it, I’ll explain it. About 2,000 years ago on the Sunday before what we call Easter, Jesus road into Jerusalem for the last time. [...]

How many of you have already picked up some of these to invite people to our Easter services? Thank you, thank you. Thank you. How many of you have already used them to invite somebody? Thank you, thank you, thank you. That’s awesome. I would like [...]

Welcome to mission hills. So glad you are here. As you have probably figured out already, Easter is coming. Anybody shocked? Okay. We are really excited about Easter here at Mission Hills because it gives us a chance to do two things that are very [...]

Welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you are here for our continuing journey through the Gospel of John. As I was looking at the passage we are going to be pouring into today, I was reminded of something that happened to me when I was 10 or 11 years [...]

Welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you are here, but I don’t know about you, I’m really tired of the horrific things happening in our country. Anybody else? Obviously, the latest in the string of mass shootings and school shootings raises all kinds [...]

Hey, welcome to Mission Hills. So glad that you are here. You guys probably heard that Colorado lost another police officer this past week. That’s three in 36 days here. I was just discovering that couple of police officers were killed in Ohio just [...]

Welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you are here for our continuing journey through the Gospel of John. Today we’ll talk about something not often talked about in church. That is doubt. There are five letters in it, but we treat it like a four letter [...]

Welcome back to week number three of our Real Jesus Series. If you wanna grab a Bible and go ahead and turn with me John Chapter 8. We’re gonna jump in where we left off last week. While we’re turning there, let me just give you a quick little [...]

Hey, welcome back to week number two of our Real Jesus series, I hope you were able to join us last week as we kicked the series off. But just in case you didn’t, let me catch up real quick. We looked at a claim that Jesus made that really kind of [...]

I sincerely hope that you are coming in this New Year full of hope and expectation. I hope this first week has been a good start. I’m gonna be honest, this first week has been a little hard for me. Some of the reasons many of you will know, some of [...]

Merry Christmas. I am so glad that you’re here. So honored that you would give us this time together as we get ready to celebrate Christmas Day tomorrow. I also, if I’m gonna be completely honest, I’m also just a little bit intimidated because [...]

Throughout this series, we’ve been seeing that God’s love for us is too deep for him to leave us lost in our sin, our heartache, our pain, our suffering. No matter where you are or what you’re facing, you need to understand that his love has come [...]

Let’s talk about Isaac today. None of what God ultimately did, with Abraham and Isaac, depends on Abraham. But Abraham did have one all-important role to play: he chose to trust the Giver, not the gift. If he had refused to trust God, as hard and [...]

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. I mean, that’s the Christmas story, right? But what if I told that’s not the whole Christmas story? What if I told you that the Christmas story isn’t just confined to the first few chapters of the [...]

One of our core values as a church is that we are Bible-driven. That means we don’t make plans and then attach Bible verses to them. We are driven to our plans and strategies by what God says to us in the Bible. Throughout this series, you’ve seen [...]

If the last words of Jesus in Matthew give us our tactics for accomplishing our mission, then the last words of Jesus in Acts give us our strategy. The picture that Jesus paints here is ever-widening circles, kind of like the ripples that spread out [...]

This is week 2 of our IMagINe series where we’re peeking through some doors to see what God has in store for us in the future and what it looks like to get ready to be the church God is calling us to be. This is one of those odd little stories in [...]

Today we’re going to be asking the question: what is God’s purpose for this thing that we call the local church? What’s his heartbeat for it? What would it look like for us to be the church God always wanted? And here’s the honest truth: we believe [...]

So, Jesus wants us to be vulnerable. He wants us to give more than is required. He wants us to serve our enemies. He wants us to practice unfailing generosity. Let me ask you this: What do all these things have in common? Join us as Craig unpacks [...]

Jesus may be the most frustrating man to have ever lived because he consistently challenged people to take their lives to the next level. Getting comfortable meeting the minimum standards is never an option for those who choose to follow Jesus. As [...]

Welcome to Mission Hills. Let me tell you something about what I always want from the way we do church. I tell our guest services team this a lot. I want people to be comfortable enough here with the way we do church that they can be made [...]

CRAIG: Hey, welcome to Mission Hills. So glad that you’re here and before we dive into God’s word this morning, I wanna introduce you to a couple. So I’m gonna ask Kip and Pearl Nanninga to come up. Kip was just hired. He just joined our staff here [...]

Today we will be looking at a very important passage in the Gospel of Matthew that has caused a lot of confusion over the years, partly because a very literal translation involves phrases and imagery familiar to the original audience, but [...]

Let’s face it: we don’t live in a world that encourages sacrifice... and especially not sacrifice for the sake of others. We’re too busy sucking in our stomachs for that perfect selfie to think much about reaching out our hands to others. But Jesus [...]

Good morning. Hey, welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you’re here and joining us for this week, number two of our Unselfie series. If you weren’t here last week, let me just get you caught up a little bit, so we’re on the same page. Well, what we [...]

Hey, welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you’re here, whether you’re in the big room or joining us online, or down in the middle. We’re so glad you’re taking this time. How many of you were here last week for our 75th anniversary celebration? Was that [...]

Well, good morning. Welcome to Mission Hill. So glad you’re here, whether you’re here in the big room, or in the mill, or joining us online, and we’re just glad that you’ve taken this time to connect with God and see what he has to say to you from [...]

Good morning. Hey, welcome to Mission Hills. So glad you’re here whether you’re in the big room, or in the Mill or joining us in one of our online campus. I am so glad you’re here. Gonna be honest with you, give me a couple minutes and you’re not [...]

Good morning. Welcome to Mission Hills, so good to have you here this morning. I’m really glad to be back. I did have a great chance last week to spend some time with my wife’s family. Her parents were celebrating their 50th anniversary. So we got [...]

Good morning. Thought we’d begin our time together with a reading from one of my favorite theologians, Dr. Theodor Geisel, more affectionately known as Dr. Seuss. “Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches had bellies with stars. The Plain-Belly Sneetches had [...]

Good morning. Welcome to Mission Hills. We’re gonna start off a little bit differently this morning. We’re gonna start off with math. All right. Here’s what I want you to do. I want you to imagine that every word that you ever say gets written down, [...]

Good morning. Welcome to Mission Hills. Whether you’re here in the big room or here in the Mill or joining us on... streaming Facebook live. So got to add that into the welcome. We’re just so glad that you’re here. And I’m super excited about this [...]

Good morning. Happy Mother’s Day. Yeah. There’s no right response back to a guy who says that. You just like, “Okay, yeah.” We’re so glad you’re here, whether join us in the big room or down in The Mill or online. We’re so just delighted that you [...]

There’s no shortage of counterfeits in the world, but don’t let religion be one of them. True faith isn’t a set of ideas, but truth revealing itself in action. If what we believe doesn’t play out in what we do day in and day out, then maybe our [...]

Because Jesus is continuing to do his work through us. By the way, this is why we have kind of an audacious vision statement here at Mission Hills. Our vision statement here is “transforming lives, period.” Hear Craig take us through Acts 1 as we [...]

We are so glad that you’re here this morning. We’ve been praying and planning for the service for so long. Can I make an assumption? You guys know about the cross, right? Like, nobody’s here going, “Cross? What are you talking about?” Yeah, I mean I [...]

Welcome to Mission Hills and week number three of our six-part Easter series, The Rising. Today is kind of a special day in the church calendar. We call this Palm Sunday. I’ve gotta ask, how many of you grew up in churches where they actually gave [...]

Good morning. Welcome to Mission Hills and week number two of our six-part Easter series. We actually have three stages to the series, there’s dark, dawn and day. We’re kind of in the middle of the dark. Because as we follow along in the Gospel of [...]

Good morning. Welcome to Mission Hills I’ve been super excited about today because we’re launching our six-week Easter series. Don’t worry, you still got a few weeks to buy candy and whatever else you need to do. But we wanted to get started right [...]

Welcome back to the third and final week of our Spring Cleaning Series where we’ve been trying to sort of push aside some of the stuff that can just accumulate in a church, especially, a church our size. And we’re gonna focus in on the three things [...]

Before we dig into God’s word this morning, I wanted to celebrate. Something happened last week. We announced last week the launch of our Mill venue, which is designed to make a little bit more space. We actually got a little space this morning [...]

Hey, Good morning. Was the parking lot better this morning? Yeah. So part of our making room strategy, we moved from 9:30 to 9:15, and that seems to have been a good improvement. The next stage of this is, actually something really exciting, we are [...]
