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 [...]

If you’ve got a bible, why don’t you turn to Nehemiah 2 with me? And I like to say as you’re turning there again, you’ll find that about a third away through the Old Testament right after the book of Ezra, which is right after the book of [...]

Morning. Hey, just a little acknowledgment. I realize that a lot of you had to ride the shuttle in because our parking lot is absolutely full. Which is fun problem to have, but I also realize that it’s not necessarily what you expect when you come [...]

C.S. Lewis once said that “it would seem that Jesus finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.” We settle for trinkets when God longs to bless us with true treasure. We settle for just getting by when God longs to use us to accomplish great [...]

Hey, welcome to Mission Hills. I know it’s all messed up right? You’re like, “Wait, wait, what are you doing here?” It’s Baptism Sunday, yeah. and so we’re actually going to mix the service up just a little bit, I’m going to do some sharing from [...]

Hey, welcome. I got to spend this past week in a pastor’s conference in San Diego or L.A., and picked up a lot of great wisdom for which I’m really grateful. I also picked up a nasty head cold for which I am less than grateful. So I’ve got sort of [...]

God wants to renovate us so He can reside in us. There’s still work to be done. But that’s what God is doing here. He’s renovating us. And these aren’t just cosmetic renovations. Many of them are structural. They’re profound. And structural [...]

Good morning. This is obviously the crowd that doesn’t care about football, is that right? Man, second service, 9:30, was so packed. I would love to think that it’s the spirit of God moving, but we also know when kickoff is. So you guys are the [...]

Good morning. So kind of a big week this week, right? I feel a certain amount of pressure to say something but I really don’t know what to say. I feel like if I don’t say something, I’m probably gonna get some letters. Anything I say, I might get a [...]

Good morning, Mission Hills. And how many of you were here actually Friday night for the big Halloween party? Yeah, there were a ton of volunteers and thank you. I showed up wearing a horse head costume as my wife dressed as a cowboy which meant I [...]

Well, welcome back to week number two of our Identity Theft series. I want to start this morning with a truth that really kind of sits underneath everything we’re going to talk about through this series, and this is the way I want to say it. What we [...]

Good morning, welcome to Mission Hills and to our new message series Identity Theft. So, how many of you have ever been the victim of identity theft? How many of you ever worried about being the victim of identity theft? It’s a trick question [...]

Good morning. Okay, buckle up. We’re closing out the Wonder series today, and I said what we’re looking at in the series is the big story, which kinda runs from the first page to the last page of scripture. So far we’ve only dealt with, like, the [...]

Good morning. I am glad to be with you this morning and I don’t mean that in a generic way, I mean like I’m really glad I made it. Friday, I spent most of Friday being sicker than I can ever remember being. And I think it must have been food [...]

Good Morning Mission Hills, I came back. That was in spite of my first full week in the audience or the office, seeing what the week’s done to me, where I had a few moments where I was not at all sure what I got myself into. But I’m glad to be here, [...]

Good morning, Mission Hills. It is good to be here. And while I promised during cannonading weekend that if God confirmed our call through your vote and everything else that if I got here, I’d tell you the rest of the story that I started while I [...]

Good morning. Sorry, how y’all doing? Feel better? So glad you’re able to join us for a Bluegrass Weekend. Please note that I did dress accordingly, I didn’t go all the way there. I was under a little bit of pressure this week to also wear cowboy [...]
