“Having established that identity-change is the product of a transformed heart we will now begin to implement a practical strategy that will help us get 1% better at following Jesus every day. Habits, both good and bad, are not formed out of thin air. All of our habits are the result of recurring patterns of behavior that exist in our lives. Once you know the pattern you can use it to your advantage and change your behavior.

A Stable Strategy

“As we attempt to get 1% better every day what we’ll probably find is change can be hard. Generally, our good intentions are thwarted and derailed by two factors. One, we don’t have a good system of improvement in place. And two, our changes are not connected to our preferred identity- the person we which to become. Today we’ll explore the fact that lasting change must be connected to our identity, and ultimately our hearts.”

Identity

“Scores of people come into the New Year with updated goals and fresh motivation for improvement in the year to come. However, if you are like most people your fresh motivation and new goals vanish sometime before Valentines Day. If the followers of Jesus are going to effectively make disciples (who make disciples, who make disciples) they need to develop sustainable godly habits. In part one of this series we will explore the value of a system that emphasizes the small choices, and how those small decisions can lead to huge improvements.”

Creature Of Habit

What a wild ride 2020 has been! Have you been dispirited by the state of our society and the division in our country? In this message we will explore the idea of “Kingdom Politics”. This message will offer insight into the concept of human authority in the Bible, how it meets its fulfillment in Jesus, and how it impacts the way we live in light of His resurrection.

Kingdom Politics

“Why did God choose Mary to bring Jesus into the world? What made her so special? What set her apart from other women, and what can we learn from her story?”

Misfit Mary

“People often get stamped with labels that can last a lifetime. Labels can honor us or discourage us. Jesus' family is full of people who’d been labeled in all kinds of ways. In this message we’ll see that God is eager and willing to include misfits in His story and change our existing labels.”

The Label Changer

Jesus family full tree is of people who didn’t always make the best decisions and didn’t have the best pedigree. Luckily for us, God includes people like Ruth in His plan and in His family. Belonging to the family of God is not about how good we can be but how great Jesus is. 

Ruth

 “If there’s anything that the Christmas season reminds us of it is family can be messy. Every family tree has a few misfits in it, and Jesus’ family tree is no different. His lineage is made up of all kinds of foolish, shady, half-baked, hard to love people. As we jump into the Christmas season it is important to remember that belonging to God’s family has never been about our merits or what we bring to the relationship, but rather what Jesus has done for us.”

The Family Tree

2020 has been a tough year for many people. COVID-19 has impacted our lives in countless ways, and lots of folks are counting down the days to 2021. They are hoping that a new year will give them a chance at a fresh start. At Lincoln Hills we are blessed, and we should be thankful. In spite of the unprecedented times we find ourselves in God has shown up, He’s protected us, and provided for us at every turn. That’s the state of our church, and we should be thankful.

The State of the Hills

“If the followers of Jesus are going to live under God rather than under the influence of our culture we must do so full of grace and truth. This is how Jesus lived, after all. Jesus crossed cultural lines to draw people closer to God. He called out sin while still loving and pursuing sinful people."

Liberty And Justice For All

“Elections have winners and losers, but the followers of Jesus should remain undivided and indivisible regardless of their politics.”

Indivisable

In this message we’ll be in part to of our “Under God” series of sermons which we are looking at the Pledge of Allegiance through the lens of the God’s Word. This week we’ll explore what it means to live under God in a culture that is becoming increasingly hostile toward him 

Under God

This week we begin a brand new series entitled Under God? Each week we will look at a segment of the Pledge of Allegiance through the lens of Scripture. The followers of Jesus are called a chosen people, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. As Christians we don’t just represent ourselves we represent Jesus, too. We are his ambassadors and the world will judge him by what it sees in us 

One Nation

Though you may be weary, worship God. Draw near to him and He will draw near to you. The Psalmist writes "All you saints, sing your hearts out to God. Thank him to his face. He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love. The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter.” Psalm 30:4-5 MSG 

Near To The Heart Of God

"Is it possible that if we are unsatisfied at what we feel like we are not getting out of worship here is a symptom of the worship we are not experiencing one on one with God every other day of the week? In this message, Worship Minister Ryan Lynton, will challenge you to elevate your worship throughout your week by finding a place, making the space, and going at a consistent pace.”

Daily Digest

Our heart's desire is to make disciples, who make disciples, who make disciples by helping people fall in love with the REAL Jesus.
