Message: “Unhrehearsed Christmas Pageant” from The Hillside Community

Ever wondered how many Christian denominations exist? The Center for Global Christianity estimates a mind-blowing 47,000! If getting the "right" beliefs is what makes a Christian, we'd at best have a 1-in-47,000 chance. Clearly, it's not about perfect beliefs. What truly defines us is experiencing God's love— unearned, undeserved, freely given. In this message, we dive into this foundational experience. What is God’s love really like? How do we know we've felt it? Join us as we explore Jesus' parables to uncover the profound, transformative power of God’s love in our lives.

Scripture References: Luke 15:11-24, Matthew 18:23-34, Matthew 20:1-16
