Hill City Church Podcast

In his letter to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul is confronting a crisis: the gospel of Jesus Christ was being replaced with something “new and improved.” But any attempt to change the gospel only ruins it. We'll uncover the simple, unchangeable truth of the original gospel—centered on who Jesus is, what He's done, and how we receive Him. Don't fall for a counterfeit. Discover why the real gospel doesn't need an update.   Title: Original Gospel Text: Galatians 1:1-10 Speaker: Josh Branham

This summer, we're diving into the book of Galatians—a bold, urgent letter that calls us back to the heart of the gospel. In a world full of performance, pressure, and confusion. The letter to the Galatians reminds us that Jesus invites us to live in the freedom of the Spirit, not legalism. Discover what true gospel transformation looks like. Title: Overview and Reading Series: Galatians Text: Galatians 1-6

Conflict is inevitable—but how we respond reveals who we are becoming. Some of us attack head on, others avoid it altogether. But in Romans 12, Paul offers a third way: the way of Jesus. Instead of fighting fire with fire let's fight with humility, empathy, and radical love. Whether you've burned bridges or buried hurt, this message offers a path forward—and shows us how to be peacemakers in a divided world. Title: Conflict Series: Better Together Text: Romans 12:14-21 Speaker: Andrew Branham

Why do we go to church—really? On Mother's Day, one of the most attended Sundays of the year, we explore a deeper purpose behind gathering together that goes beyond tradition or guilt. From Hebrews 10, we unpack how church isn't just an event, but a community of encouragement, built by Jesus himself. Through faith, hope, and love, we respond to the gospel—not alone, but side-by-side. Church isn't optional for the Christian life—it's essential. This is the huddle, not the game. Let's be the church, not just attend one.

In a divided world, what does it look like to live with unity? This message explores how humility, gentleness, patience, and bearing with one another in love can shape a community that reflects the heart of Jesus. We aren't just called to believe—we're called to belong. Discover how you can be part of something greater by walking in unity with others and with God.

What does it look like to actually be a Christian community? What are Christian relationships supposed to be like? In this new series, we take a look at 4 commands for how to do Christian community the way that Jesus calls us to. And the first command is the most important of them all. Title: Love Series: Better Together Speaker: Jake Wright

In his final breath, Jesus says, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit,” showing us what it means to fully trust God even in suffering. The cross was not the end, and the empty tomb proves it. Jesus is alive, and because of that, we can experience new life. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or choosing daily to follow Christ, this message will lead you to a place of deeper surrender, renewed hope, and true resurrection life.   Title: Easter Series: Last Words Text: Luke 23:46 Speaker: Josh Branham

Christ's victory over sin, death, and the devil has been won, yet we still live in the tension of the "now and not yet." Discover how Jesus' death fulfilled the law, accomplished salvation, and set us on a mission to share the good news of freedom with others. Join us as we unpack what Jesus finished and how it continues to impact our lives today.   Title: Finished Series: Last Words Text: John 19:30 Speaker: Josh Branham

Water is essential to life, and while many take it for granted, millions around the world still lack access to clean water. But Jesus' thirst on the cross goes beyond the physical—it serves as a reminder of his humanity, fulfilling prophecy, and a symbol of our spiritual thirst for connection with God. Through Jesus' sacrifice, we are offered “living water” that quenches the deepest longings of our souls.   Title: Thirst Series: Last Words Text: John 19:28-29 Speaker: Josh Branham

Through moments of agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and His final cry of "My God, why have you forsaken me?", we uncover the deep mystery of Christ's separation from the Father as He bore the weight of our sins. Learn how Jesus' sacrifice opens the way for us to be forgiven, restored, and accepted by God. Discover the depth of God's love and the cost of true forgiveness in this moving reflection on Christ's passion.   Title: Forsaken Series: Last Words Text: Matthew 27:46 Speaker: Josh Branham

What if today was your last? What would you think of your life as you reflect back on it? And would you be ready for eternity? Jesus was crucified along with 2 criminals. Each criminal had a different reaction to Jesus. And one of them, on his last day, reflected on his life and made a deathbed decision to turn to Jesus. Series: Last Words Title: Paradise Speaker: Jake Wright

Series: Last Words Title: Mother and Son Passage: John 19:25-27 Speaker: Jordan Carter

In His final moments, Jesus spoke words that echoed through eternity: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." These words were more than a prayer for His executioners—they were a divine proclamation of forgiveness for all who are lost, broken, and burdened by sin. This message invites us to experience the full freedom of forgiveness through a life of confession and repentance.    Title: Forgive Them Series: Last Words Text: Luke 23:34 Speaker: Andrew Branham

Jesus, the Word made flesh, perfectly delivered God's message of love and salvation. This is the ultimate example of how we are called to live out Scripture, not just hear it, but let it shape our actions. Join us as we learn how to let God's Word move from our heads to our hearts and into our daily lives, making a tangible impact on the world around us.   Title: Word in Flesh Series: Bring Out the Book Text: John 1:14 Speaker: Josh Branham

Meditation is an ancient spiritual practice that can transform our relationship with God's Word. Using Psalm 1 as our guide, we learn that meditation is more than just a tool for knowledge—it's a way to connect deeply with God's presence. Whether we're experiencing spiritual dryness or seeking a closer walk with God, this practice helps move His Word from our heads to our hearts.   Title: Day & Night Series: Bring Out the Book Text: Psalm 1 Speaker: Jake Wright

There is so much more to the Bible when we do the hard work of digging deeper than a surface level reading. In this teaching, we address common misinterpretations of the Bible, encouraging thoughtful, contextual study to uncover the true message of Scripture. Join us as we dive into how to study the Bible more effectively and follow Jesus more closely.   Title: Dig Deeper Series: Bring out the Book Text: Acts 8:26-40 Speaker: Josh Branham

King Josiah's deep conviction upon hearing the Word of God sparked a nationwide return to covenant faithfulness, showing us that the Bible, when rediscovered and brought to the forefront, has the power to ignite transformation. As we look at the importance of Scripture in our lives today, we're challenged to cultivate a hunger for God's Word and make it central to our daily lives. Join us as we dive into why we need to bring out the book and how Scripture can renew our hearts and minds in this series.   Title: What is the Bible? Series: Bring Out the Book Text: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Speaker: Josh Branham

Pride and rebellion led an ancient people to build a tower that symbolized their desire to control God. Join us as we reflect on the importance of surrendering to God, building for His kingdom, and making sure our lives align with His purpose.   Title: Babel Series: Genesis Text: Genesis 11 Speaker: Josh Branham

How do we explain the existence of evil in the world? Genesis introduces us to the enemy of our story. The serpent uses deception to tempt us to sin which leads to pain, suffering, and separation from God. But there is hope. Despite the darkness, God's plan for redemption through Jesus Christ shines through, offering forgiveness, purpose, and victory over sin and death.   Title: Fall Series: Genesis Text: Genesis 3 Speaker: Josh Branham

How do we explain the existence of evil in the world? Genesis introduces us to the enemy of our story. The serpent uses deception to tempt us to sin which leads to pain, suffering, and separation from God. But there is hope. Despite the darkness, God's plan for redemption through Jesus Christ shines through, offering forgiveness, purpose, and victory over sin and death.   Title: Fall Series: Genesis Text: Genesis 3 Speaker: Josh Branham

At Christmas, we explore the humble circumstances surrounding Christ's arrival and how it connects to God's love for all people, especially those on the fringes of society. From the rejection of Mary and Joseph at the inn to the angelic announcement to the lowly shepherds, we see that Jesus came to bring salvation not through power, but through humility and sacrifice. Join us as we reflect on the gift of salvation and how we are invited to receive, treasure, and share the good news of Christ's birth with the world. Title: Christmas Text: Luke 2:1-20 Speaker: Josh Branham

In the chaos of Christmas, it's easy to lose sight of the deeper hope the season brings. Simeon's story reminds us that the true joy of Christmas isn't found in gifts, lights or traditions. May we see Jesus through Simeon's eyes and embrace the hope, joy, and purpose He brings—not just for a season, but for eternity. Title: Simeon Series: Characters of Christmas Text: Luke 2:25-35 Speaker: Andrew Branham

It's an amazing privilege to be used by God, even when we feel unqualified or insecure. Drawing from the example of Mary, a young, humble woman chosen to bear the Savior of the world, we learn how faith, trust, and submission to God's will can lead to a meaningful life. We reflect on God's grace and the joy of being part of His redemptive plan, reminding ourselves that with God, nothing is impossible.   Title: Mary Series: Characters of Christmas Text: Luke 1:26-56 Speaker: Josh Branham

In the midst of holiday parties, gifts, and meals, we often rush past the story of Christ's incarnation. Join us as we take a closer look at this beautiful moment when God became flesh and dwelt among us, and discover the joy of encountering Jesus in a deeper way.   Title: Zechariah Series: Characters of Christmas Text: Luke 1:5-25 Speaker: Josh Branham  

For over 2,000 years, the church has remained devoted tot he practice of breaking bread and remembering the gospel through the act of Communion. while we often associate this practice with rituals performed during church services, the original context of this meal wasn't a formal service or one filled with background music—it took place during a simple, intimate meal similar to a Thanksgiving feast.    Title: The Table Text: Luke 22:14-23 Speaker: Josh Branham

Sharing the gospel inevitably involves telling someone the good news about Jesus. Many believers feel hesitant or unprepared if given the chance to tell someone about Jesus. The truth is, sharing the gospel is often as simple as telling a story. Title: Story Series: Love Your Neighbor Text: Matthew 13:1-13 Speaker: Josh Branham

People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Showing love through tangible acts of service often leads to opportunities to share the gospel. Good works open the door for the good news.   Title: Serve Series: Love Your Neighbor Text: Luke 10:25-37 Speaker: Josh Branham

We know that Jesus came to seek and save the lost. This was his mission. We also know that Jesus came eating and drinking. This was one of his primary methods. Evangelism is often as simple as sharing food with someone who needs hope. Title: Eat Series: Love Your Neighbor Text: Matthew 9:9-13 Speaker: Chris Burgess

Listening is a way to love your neighbor. Yet, people don't listen like they used to. As Christians, we must rediscover how Jesus asked good questions and listened incarnationally. It's amazing what God can do if we simply learn to listen.   Title: Listen Series: Love Your Neighbor Text: Matthew 16:13-20 Speaker: Cheryl Clutter

The vast majority (96%) of Christians believe, “The best thing that could ever happen to someone is for them to come to know Jesus.” Yet when it comes to sharing our faith, we don't always know where to start. As it is with most things in life, the best way to begin is with prayer.   Title: Begin With Prayer Series: Love Your Neighbor Text: Mark 9:14-29 Speaker: Josh Branham

Church isn't a spectator sport and every player on the team is vital. The work of ministry isn't reserved for a select few, but to all who follow Jesus. The Spirit is inviting you into the good works God prepared just for you. When everyone plays their part, God's Kingdom comes. It's time to step off the sidelines and into your calling. Title: We all have a job to do Series: Church Family Text: Acts 6:1-7 Speaker: Andrew Branham

Generous giving is the natural response of someone who has experienced God's grace through the gospel. The early church embodied radical generosity towards one another. This lifestyle gave the community credibility with the culture around them. Generous giving still has the power to transform our world today.   Title: We give because God gave. Series: Church Family Text: Acts 4:32-5:11 Speaker: Josh Branham

The early church had a big job to do: bring the gospel to the whole world. 2,000 years later we stand on their shoulders and today we take a look at just how we can spread the good news just as that early church did.   Title: We bring good news to the neighborhood. Series: Church Family Text: Acts 3:1-16 Speaker: Jordan Carter

Often times, we try to do everything by our own power or strength and use prayer as a last resort. But in reality, prayer should be our first response. That's why at Hill City one of our core values is: We pray first. Time and time again, we have seen God answer our prayers and move in ways that are greater than we could've ever imagined. Let us learn to be a praying church. Let us learn to pray first.    Title: We Pray First Series: Church Family Text: Acts 1–2 Speaker: Jake Wright

Many Christians do plenty of religious activities, but experience little of God's presence. David's quest to find the ark shows us that we must have more than a desire for God, we must actively seek Him in our lives. When we dwell in God's presence, we will experience His blessings.   Title: Obedience Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 132 Speaker: Josh Branham

Trust came so easy to us as children, but as we grow older we become jaded. We start dreaming less about how we're going to change the world and become more concerned with how we are going to take care of ourselves. Jesus is calling us to let go of our lives and trust God like child again.    Title: Humility Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 131 Speaker: Andrew Branham   Discussion/Reflection Questions:   What did you want to be when you grew up? How have you experienced ambition out of control?  How can you recognize pride at the root of your greatest struggles and sins? Read Matthew 18:1-5 What do you think Jesus means when he says to become like a child to enter his Kingdom? How would it change the dynamic of one of your relationships if you shifted your focus off yourself and onto them? What is a situation or an area of your life you need to trust God with and how could you hand it over to him? Who is someone you could care for and what's a specific way you could do that this week?

This psalm is all about the real hope we have in God because of his great love for us.  Psalm 130 tells the story of salvation: Mercy from God, forgiveness with God, hope in God, and redemption by God.  Our job is to tell the story.   Title: Hope Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 130 Speaker: Nick Duffel   Discussion Questions:   Have you ever cried out to God “from the depths”?  What was the situation? For you, what is the connection between God's forgiveness and fearing/worshipping him? Do you have a story of hoping in the Lord even through hardship? How have you seen God be true to his word/promises in your life? Where have you seen evidence that God is redeeming this world? Who can you tell the story of God's salvation in your life and in this world?

Psalm 128 tells us how to live a life that is blessed by God and how that life can impact the world.  When we fear God and walk in his ways, God works through us to grow fruit, bless others, and multiply his kingdom. Title: Fruit Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 128 Speaker: Nick Duffel

Title: Joy Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 126 Speaker: Jordan Carter Discussion/Reflection Questions: How are you really doing right now? Do you relate more to the first half or the second half of Psalm 126 and why? What can you point to in the past where God showed up in a big way? What might God be doing in your life right now to work things for good? What are the ways you work to provide your own joy rather than receive it from God? What are some ways you can draw nearer to God and remember his goodness and faithfulness?

We worship the God who helps those in need! Psalm 124 is a celebration of God's help for his people. We are challenged to side with Lord, tell the story of God's help, look to God first when the flood comes, and see our sin as a broken snare.   Title: Help Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 124 Speaker: Nick Duffel     Discussion/Reflection Questions:   How has God been your help? Complete this sentence for your own story: “If not for God, then ___________.” How can you live with certainty that you are siding with God in life's challenges? When the floods of life come, how will you look to God first? Who can you tell the story of God's help? What would it look like to live life with the awareness that your sin is a “broken snare”? 

Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known passages of Scripture. It is so widely read because people everywhere experience pain, suffering, and trials. As we follow the Lord as our shepherd, he leads us through the valley of the shadow of death into a beautiful hope.   Title: Goodness Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 23 Speaker: Josh Branham   Discussion/Reflection Questions: Out of the five locations described in Psalm 23 (pasture, path, valley, table, home) where are you in life right now? Why? How can you continue to seek Jesus when life is going well? What have been your valley of the shadow of death moments? How has God used times of suffering in your life to shape you? What helps you keep moving forward when you are in the valley? How is Jesus inviting you to follow him closer this week?

Everyone wants to be free, yet few understand what freedom truly means. Freedom is not about the ability to do whatever you want. It's about being able to live the life that you were created for. This true freedom is only found in serving Christ.   Title: Service Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 123 Speaker: Josh Branham

Having God as your traveling companion reframes the experiences and struggles of daily life.   Title: Providence Series: Pilgrim Songs Text: Psalm 121 Speaker: Nick Duffel     Discussion/Reflection Questions:   Where does your help come from? Do you first turn to God in every circumstance? Where can you see evidence of God's providence: in nature, in scripture, and in your own life? Can you name some ways that God has preserved and protected you? Are you trusting God with all of your needs? Are you leaning on God in both big moments and small moments? What would it look like to live your life with the awareness that God is watching over you?    Links:  Website — https://www.hillcityboise.org Josh Branham — https://www.joshuabranham.com Connect Card — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/people/forms/73706 Worship Playlist — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcKG48aqsAsh7AQmRz4jyaG_H_y3MRqko Baptism 101: https://www.hillcityboise.org/baptism Give Online — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/giving Orange Kids — https://theparentcue.org/faith/ Events — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/registrations Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/hillcityboise Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/hillcityboise  

The goal of discipleship is a lifelong commitment to following Jesus. Far too many people start off well but fail to finish strong in their faith. We need a plan to overcome each of the main obstacles that prevent people from finishing strong.   Title: Finish Strong Series: Run the Race Text: 2 Timothy 4:6-8 Speaker: Josh Branham   Discussion/Reflection Questions: How strong are you running in your faith right now (collapsed, walking, running, etc.)?

Every marathon comes with its fair share of chaffing, cramping and broken toenails. Pain is unavoidable, but God has the ability to transform us during our trials. How can we grow through our pain and find the joy that's waiting for us at the finish line? Endurance is just one step away.    Title: Endurance Series: Run the Race Text: Romans 5:3-5 Speaker: Andrew Branham   Discussion/Reflection Questions:   What is the most physical pain you have ever been in?   How are you experiencing pain in your life right now? Can you identify ways that God is growing your character and giving you hope?  Read Hebrews 12:1-3, How can we see endurance in the life of Christ? What's a far-fetched, soul stretching goal you have for your faith? What's the first step you can take in that direction? What's your 1% goal for growth this week? What is the joy that could be waiting for you on the other side of your pain/problem? Pray: ask God to give you patience, increase endurance and reveal His purpose in your pain.    Website — https://www.hillcityboise.org Josh Branham — https://www.joshuabranham.com Connect Card — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/people/forms/73706 Worship Playlist — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcKG48aqsAsh7AQmRz4jyaG_H_y3MRqko Baptism 101: https://www.hillcityboise.org/baptism Give Online — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/giving Orange Kids — https://theparentcue.org/faith/ Events — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/registrations Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/hillcityboise Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/hillcityboise

Following Jesus shouldn't be exhausting. Living in God's kingdom should be sustainable and life-giving. Training, if done properly, involves lots of rest and recovery. We must learn how to run smarter, not harder, so that we can run the race for the long haul.   Title: Recovery Series: Run the Race Text: Hebrews 4:9-11 Speaker: Josh Branham   Discussion/Reflection Questions: How rested are you on a scale of 1 (exhausted) — 10 (refreshed)? Why? How are you experiencing (or not experiencing) the easy yoke and light burden of Christ? What does practicing the Sabbath look like in your life?  Is there anything you want to adjust about how you remember the Sabbath? Where would you place yourself on the human function curve? (complacent, sacred, fatal) Who are the people in your life you need to make time for? What spiritual practices do you need to make time for? Where do you need to eliminate hurry in your life?   Links:  Website — https://www.hillcityboise.org Josh Branham — https://www.joshuabranham.com Connect Card — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/people/forms/73706 Worship Playlist — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcKG48aqsAsh7AQmRz4jyaG_H_y3MRqko Baptism 101: https://www.hillcityboise.org/baptism Give Online — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/giving Orange Kids — https://theparentcue.org/faith/ Events — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/registrations Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/hillcityboise Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/hillcityboise

So many believers go through life wondering why they aren't experiencing more growth in their discipleship. They try different approaches to become more like Christ, but get frustrated at the lack of results. If we want to experience the life of Christ, we must learn the secret of training to be godly.   Title: Training Series: Run the Race Text: 1 Timothy 4:6-8 Speaker: Josh Branham

The race of faith is more like a marathon than a sprint. We were not made to run this marathon alone. We were made to run together. And if we're going to finish the race well, there are 3 types of people we need to run with.   Title: Teamwork  Text: Hebrews 10:24–25 Series: Run the Race Speaker: Jake Wright 

Everyone is running after something in life. As followers of Jesus, we are called to run the race of faith. For many Christians, following Jesus is something extra in their already crowded life. If we are going to run well, we must learn to focus on the example set for us by Jesus himself.   Title: Starting Line Series: Run the Race Text: Hebrews 12:1-2 Speaker: Josh Branham   Discussion/Reflection Questions: How would you answer the question, “Why do you follow Jesus?” What are the other things you've ran after in your life? What sins or distractions hinder you from following Jesus with everything? How will you put these things off? What are the new things that Christ is calling you to put on? What inspires you about Christ's example on the cross? What do you enjoy most about life in Christ?   Links:  Website — https://www.hillcityboise.org Josh Branham — https://www.joshuabranham.com Connect Card — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/people/forms/73706 Worship Playlist — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcKG48aqsAsh7AQmRz4jyaG_H_y3MRqko Baptism 101: https://www.hillcityboise.org/baptism Give Online — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/giving Orange Kids — https://theparentcue.org/faith/ Events — https://hillcityboise.churchcenter.com/registrations Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/hillcityboise Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/hillcityboise
