Hartford City Church

Jesus first resurrection appearance!

Be encouraged that Jesus is revealed to us through Scripture and the breaking of bread.  My prayer is that you will learn to recognize His presence more and more

He is Risen ! - What will you do with the empty tomb?

Happy Easter!  He is Risen!  The empty tomb demands a decision, what will yours be?

Jesus Clears the Way for everyone to come to God

In this final installment of our values series we will look at Jesus cursing a fig tree and cleansing the temple.  Strange, wild stories that show the authority of Jesus and how he uses his power and authority to welcome all!

Serve All - John 13, Jesus, Judas, and Peter

This second message in our series on Values of HCC is focused on our commitment to Serve All.  I use the narrative of John chapter 13 to reflect on how similar Peter and Judas are, yet how different the outcome of their lives!  Both were loved by Jesus, both had their feet washed by him.  What are the implications for you?  Listen and find out.

Love All

Love All - It's the first of our values and it's the most important.  Learn why as I walk us through Jesus' teaching on the Greatest Commandment.  Mark 12:28-34

Holiness for today - message from Brian Clark, 1-10-16

This sermon is from back on January 10th.  Brian Clark gave us some great thoughts on how we can live in the power of Christ and his Word in this culture, in this day and age.  Enjoy this message!

The Mission of God from Genesis to Jesus

This message is a little more academic!  We take a look at Five Covenants in the Old Testament and how they are reflected in the Great Commission Jesus gives his followers in Matthew 28:18-20

How to be a Christian without being a Jerk - part two, the sermon itself

Looking at the example of Daniel and his friends on how we can stand up for our beliefs without being obnoxious.  Also learning about how to live in a hostile culture.  

How to be a Christian without being a jerk - scripture reading, Daniel 1

The scripture reading of Daniel 1, was not recorded, so listen to this first, then listen to How to be a Christian...part two, the sermon proper.  Thanks!

Gearing up for Game Day

It's Back to Ephesians!  Chapter 6:10-20 this time as Paul serves up his closing arguments and makes an appeal for us to Prepare, Pray, and Proclaim!
