Hey, would you turn in your Bibles please to the book of Acts; the second chapter of the book of Acts. So a Sunday school teacher was telling her third graders about the Resurrection, and then she asked them a question. She goes, OK, students, does [...]

Why is it that you look fresher and happier today? Could it be Easter? I don't know why. You just look really good. Well, some of you don't. No, I'm just kidding. You all look really good. Anyway, happy Resurrection day. We're going to be in the [...]

Hey, thanks for joining me. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River that flows through Cleveland, Ohio, caught fire. The river caught fire. You know we've got some serious environmental problems in the world. And we've got financial issues. We've got all kinds [...]

2000 years ago Jesus burst forth out of the grave. He lives, and because He lives, we will live also. Because He lives, we can face every day and every tomorrow. There's a sentence in the Scripture, Hebrews chapter 13 and verse 8. It's one of my [...]

What I wanna do today is I wanna talk to you about the missing link between the cross and the empty tomb. The missing link between the cross and the empty tomb. We all know the story of the cross, right? We all know that Jesus was arrested by a [...]

Praise God, hallelujah. Happy Resurrection Day, the day death met its death in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. What a day, amen? The Bible tells us that death is an enemy to God. Just like sin is an enemy to God, the devil is an enemy to God, [...]

To all of our PowerPoint viewers, today's program is a very special edition of PowerPoint. On March 15, this past week, the national day of prayer called by our President, I spoke to a a small congregation here at Prestonwood, as our people were [...]

I would invite you to take your Bibles and turn to John's Gospel, chapter 11. And I'm calling this message "How to have a Living Faith". Or on the other side I thought a good title for this message on the raising of Lazarus from the dead, [...]

The title of the message is "The Hope of Easter", and the Scripture is found today in Jeremiah 29:11. Jeremiah 29 and 11 was originally written to Hebrews who were exiled in the land of Babylon because of their own sin and unbelief, many [...]

Take your Bibles and turn to 1st Corinthians, the fifteenth chapter of First Corinthians, because today I'm going to talk to you about "Breaking the Power of Death". The ultimate enemy is death itself, but Jesus broke the chains of death [...]

My message today from the twenty-fourth chapter of the Gospel of Luke chapter 24, is a testimony of my own faith. Why I personally follow Jesus. I heard about a guy who went on a vacation to the Holy Land. He took his wife and his mother-in-law. Now [...]

So I absolutely love Easter. Sometimes people say, "Well, Andy, you know, when Easter rolls around, it's the same story all over again," and I'm like, "Yeah, but I absolutely love, love, love this story". But the thing is, to [...]

Beautiful, lift your hands. Jesus Christ, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Savior of the world, we came today to crown you. Not like you need our crown to be worthy, but we just want to join in with what heaven already knows, what has already been [...]

Hello everyone. How are you? Happy, happy, happy Resurrection weekend. I was just sitting down there during worship and thinking as we were singing "All glory to You, God," that we began on Easter weekend 22 years ago, and so Gateway [...]

Let me ask you a question. What do you think of when you think of Easter? Well, pastel colors, Easter egg hunts, the Easter bunny, of course, cute little chicks. I remember when I was a kid, you could actually buy for Easter little bunnies and [...]

Generally speaking in my ministry I like to deal with a theme, not just one topic in one message. I believe that is part of the gifts that God has given me to deal with the truths of the Bible thematically and systematically. And so I was asking God [...]

If you had the power to change your appearance, would you use it? I hear you laughing. That means some of you would. Well, what would you change? Would you change your size, your shape, your weight, color of your hair, color of your eyes? Would you [...]

I want to talk to you today about It's Already Defeated. We all face situations that should hold us back, what we're up against is bigger and stronger, and it's easy to live in fear, intimidated, thinking that we could never move forward. But the [...]

Jesus is the Son of God, the savior of the world. Who died on the cross for our sins, who rose again on the third day. Of all the claims of the Christian faith, the resurrection is the most essential. This is not a peripheral issue; it is [...]

I want you to take your Bible and turn with me to the Gospel of Luke. You notice to my left, your right, we have a Lord's Supper table... actually a Passover table, symbolizing the last Passover and the first Supper that our Lord gave us. It is His [...]

There are conspiracy theories that abound. We're fascinated by these theories of what happened... what about the grassy knolls, were there multiple shooters? Conspiracy theories... We like to read them in literature whether it's fact or fiction. We [...]

A passenger in a taxi heading for Midway Airport leaned over to ask the driver a question, gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped [...]

Happy Easter, Mission Hills. Wherever you are joining us from, whether you’re on one of our campuses or joining us around the world in some place, we are so, so, glad to have you with us. As we celebrate today, the greatest evidence of God’s [...]

You know, the first group of people on that first Easter to experience that truth that the death of Jesus was not the end of hope. It was actually the beginning of real and true hope. The first people were a group of women that I like to think of as [...]

Welcome to our interactive Good Friday service. We hope that this will help you enter into a meaningful time of worship and reflection as we commemorate Jesus’ final hours and crucifixion. [...]

Well, hey, as Justin said, it’s a little easy to forget in all the craziness of the season right now, but this is actually Palm Sunday weekend. We’re one week out from Easter. And this is a special weekend all of its own. We call it Palm Sunday. And [...]

Well, hey, welcome to Mission Hills Church Online, a little hard to believe, but we are only a couple weeks out from Easter. Easy to kind of lose sight of that in the midst of everything we’ve going on because of course, we’re about three weeks into [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
