Heaven — A Place, A Person, A Pursuit

Jonah Part 1 — Running From God

In this episode, we dive into the opening chapter of Jonah to explore what happens when God’s directions "wreck" our personal plans. We often celebrate when God promises blessings, but how do we react when He calls us to do something uncomfortable. Like Jonah being sent to his greatest enemies in Nineveh.

The Pit, The Prison, and The Promise: Lessons from Joseph

Welcome to another episode from Church of the Hills! In this message, guest speaker Sam kicks this week off as we explore the incredible life of Joseph—a story defined by betrayal, injustice, and waiting, but ultimately anchored by God using all of it for good. From wearing the multi-colored robe of a favored son to being sold into slavery by his own brothers, Joseph's journey through Genesis 37–50 shows us what it truly costs to walk in obedience. Sam unpacks how to trust God's process when your circumstances feel more like a prison than a promise, and he shares a powerful update on his and Amber’s own foster and adoption journey.

The Return of Christ

Most people view the Second Coming of Jesus as an ominous, terrifying event. While there is a sober reality to judgment, the dominant imagery Jesus uses is actually a wedding. Our goal for this episode is to move you from a posture of fear or academic date-guessing into a posture of anticipation, readiness, and personal faithfulness.

Hell: The Reality We Can't Erase

In this podcast, we are going over the sobering biblical reality of hell based on the teachings in Luke 16:19-31. We explore how modern culture often tries to soften or ignore this topic through "selective theology," despite the fact that nearly half of the Bible’s books address it. Our discussion contrasts common misconceptions, like hell being a "party," with the scriptural reality of unquenchable thirst and relentless regret. We emphasize that while hell was not originally created for people, God's holiness necessitates it, leaving Jesus Christ as the only provided way of escape. Ultimately, we challenge ourselves to be "relentlessly evangelistic," ensuring no one in our lives goes unwarned or un-prayed for.
