Jesus-centered Christmas
November 27, 2022
Hello Kingdom Family,
Today we start our Advent Series “Unforgettable Christmas,” Part I of IV.
We unpack John 1:1-18 and discover what “The Word” means and why Jesus came to earth. We also look at two 21st-century examples to help us better understand what sacrifice looks like and how it demonstrates what it means to keep Christ in CHRISTmas.
Thank you for supporting Hill-Tran Ministries.
Shalom,
Team Hill-Tran

Today’s message for Sunday, July 5, 2020, is titled “A Special Kind of Freedom.” In our message today, Pastor Harold unpacks Matthew 11:16-19; 25-30 and helps us understand the difference between the “world system” versus “The Kingdom of God.” The principalities and powers of this world influence our lives to the point of delusion, where we believe we are in full control of our lives. Human beings tend to reject God because they wish to play God themselves and rule their own lives. This lust and quest to do what we want, how we want, and when we want, has been in existence since “the fall of humankind” in the Garden of Eden. If we are honest with ourselves, when we look back at our lives as individuals, as America and the world, we see where we made decisions based on self, which later put us in a position to be hurt. To become genuinely free can only happen when we put our will in line with God.
