Mission Hills Church Messages

When God feels silent, Psalm 27 reminds us that steady faith can hold both confidence and confusion at the same time. This message invites us to choose to seek God's presence, trusting that even in the quiet, he is still here and he's not going anywhere.

If you could ask God for anything, what would it be? David declares in Psalm 27 the one thing he asks from God. It is the answer to our deepest problems of fear and shame.

When challenges seem overwhelming, where do you turn? Learn how David's approach in Psalm 27:1-3 shows us that steady faith begins with making God our light, our salvation, and our stronghold, not by defeating every enemy, but by enduring through them.

This Christmas, learn how Jesus led us out of darkness and into the light. Just like Moses before him, Jesus entered the darkness to save us, but he offers something even greater: freedom from sin and the promise that we are truly loved by the Light of the world.

When Jesus came into history, the world was turbulent and troubled. It was controversial, chaotic, and crazy. It's messy and maddening. Today, the Christmas season can still be hectic and hurried, but in the midst of the mess, we are reminded that Christ came to bring us a type of joy that should far outlast the season and overcome our circumstances.

When the Christmas season feels more like chaos than comfort, how do we find peace? In this episode of Continuing the Conversation, Craig and Abbey Davis dive into the unexpected parts of the Christmas story—messy moments, difficult decisions, and God's presence in it all. Hear a real-life story of redemption in the middle of a car accident, unpack the tension between the law and grace, and explore why redemption often feels harder—but is always better—than rescue. Whether you're carrying your own mess or walking through someone else's, this episode is for you. Whether you're feeling stuck, unseen, or just tired, this episode offers a fresh reminder: Your mess is part of God's message. 💬 Like, share, and comment if this episode hit home.
