Success and Significance are not the same. Can you have one without the other? Yes, but which one? There have been many men and women over the centuries that have been extremely successful monetarily but their impact on the world was shallow. Their lives were insignificant because they used up all their influence, power, relationships, and money on themselves. It only benefited them or those closest to them. Jesus' life and the words He spoke changed the world. His glory, majesty, wisdom, and love was divine to say the least but He lived in such a way that all the divine attributes and more impacted the world around Him and in the hundreds and thousands of years later. He lived a life of significance and in the process was successful. He literally changed the world and how we view time. Now that is significant. Your choice, which one will it be?

The Holy Spirit of God has been misunderstood and misrepresented since the day of Pentecost. When the people of the city heard the 120 in the upper room speaking in tongues and worship they supposed they were drunk. Unfortunately it is not much different today. People afraid of the Holy Spirit because they don't understand Him. This summer series will deal with the different aspects of the Holy Spirit and how He can work in our life. And how if we allow Him freedom to move in our lives He can use the Church to change the world.

Hello Hillside! I (Dan) invite you to church this Sunday morning at 10:00. You will find your church family in two places, our beautiful, park-like, retreat center-esque main Hillside campus at 2060 Magnolia Way, and in leafy green Civic Park in the heart of Walnut Creek. Both gatherings will feature musical praise, info about upcoming events, and a message from an exciting passage in I Thessalonians, the focus of our “Grace 180” message series. Who knows what the living Lord will do in these twin gatherings of the Hillside family, apart geographically but united in one “making disciples” mission. Consider texting a Hillside friend you haven't seen for a while and inviting him/her to join you for church.
