Message: “Unhrehearsed Christmas Pageant” from The Hillside Community

Nowadays everyone knows what Jesus was about. That's why non-Christians are left scratching their heads as to why those who claim to follow Jesus bear so little resemblance to him. Paul has some advice for church communities struggling to be like Jesus: focus only on what matters (hint: it's love!)

From Series: "I Love Jesus, But Hate..."

Gandhi famously quipped, “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Gandhi stands in good company: the world is full of people who like Jesus very much but can’t stand the people who follow him – and for good reason! This four-week series uses the letters Paul wrote to his friend Timothy to examine places where Jesus’ followers sometimes miss the mark.
