City On A Hill

Voices from a Hill

City on a Hill is all about spreading the cause of Jesus. We don't feel we do it any better then any other church. But, we know God has give us a particular "voice".

We share our voice through words, songs, art, photography & video. We desire to not only live incarnationally, but proclamationally. So as we immerse ourselves into the culture we do so with the purpose to love the people we engage with, but also sharing ours and theirs greatest hope, Jesus Christ.

But, we know the source of our voice is His Spirit and His Word. So we have creating two Bible Reading Plan Communities. The ESV Bible Reading Plan and the Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan. Visit them, read the Word and share your voice with us!

So, spend some time in the Voices form a Hill section of our web site and join one of the conversations on our daily readings of the Bible, our learning more about the importance we place on music and art.

Our hope is that while you hear our "voice", we get to hear your "voice" as well.

I haven't written in a bit for various reason, but I'm starting again today, and my hope is that it is a blessing to any who read. Some one of the reasons I haven't written lately is that our church offices were broken into recently, and one of the things they stole was my Mac PowerBook.

Obviously, God is sovereign and there are various reasons that the break-in happen including sin. But, if the following verse is true...
Luke 14:15-24 What a sobering response from Jesus. I know I make excuses all the time as to why I don't accept the invitation to commune with Jesus daily. Lord forgive my distraction and denial and help me to be like the poor and crippled and blind and lame, may I be completely dependent on you and have a heart of gratitude for the generous gift you offer me in Jesus. May I place no other person or thing higher than you.
Pretty amazing how God gave Israel favor before Cyrus and then Artaxerxes so that they might build the temple. That's all I got today :)
Luke 13:1-9 We should repent and we should tell other to repent - There is no other way, but there is a way and it's through Jesus so again repent and tell others to repent. We and others will bear fruit and avert destruction only through the work of Jesus in our lives, he is the vine and we are the branches.
