Ancient views often linked suffering to divine judgment: poverty, captivity, blindness, and oppression were seen as consequences of sin or divine abandonment. But today, we see how Jesus challenged this in Luke 4: 18-27 by proclaiming Himself as the one who came to set the oppressed free and bring healing to all— not just the chosen few. His message was initially met with applause, but this soon turned to rage as He shared Biblical stories that confronted their assumptions. Jesus' radical inclusivity remains just as challenging today. Join us for this powerful teaching on the messy, missional mercy of Jesus and how we are called to live it out today. *In this episode, we address real-life examples of mercy in action—stories of outreach, justice, and love in our communities. Some of the stories have been removed from this version of the teaching out of respect for their privacy.*

Mirroring Jesus: His Grace 37:56

5 days ago37:56

Kara's message this week is from Luke 15-- the story we know as the Prodigal Son. But it's not just a story about one lost son. It's a story about two very different kinds of people-- both equally in need of grace. Kara's message will challenge your assumptions, soften your heart, and help you experience the grace of God in a deeper way-- not just so you can receive it, but so you can mirror it. Because grace isn't something we hoard... It's something we pass on. If you've ever wondered how God could welcome certain people... or if you've ever doubted that He could still welcome you-- this message is for you.…

Mirroring Jesus: His Courage 41:16

In today’s teaching, Jason dives into the concept of courage, drawing inspiration from the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. Much like the lion, many of us know courage is necessary in our lives, but we often struggle to find it. Jesus' journey to Jerusalem in Luke 13 serves as a powerful example of courage in the face of threats, bullies, and the unknown. Through examining Jesus' responses to the threats from Herod, His confrontation with bullies, and His embrace of sacrifice despite the future pain ahead, Jason challenges us to reflect on our own courage. He reminds us that real peace requires courage, and that God is always on the side of the oppressed. Will we choose to be peacekeepers or peacemakers, embracing the courage that Jesus modeled for us?…

Mirroring Jesus: His Values 27:17

27:17

Who are the people we gravitate toward? And who do we tend to overlook? In today's teaching, we examine Jesus' radical teaching in Luke 6:17-26 to see who is truly blessed in the kingdom of God. While the world values success, wealth, and influence, Jesus flips the script—declaring the poor, the hungry, and the persecuted as blessed. We’ll explore how this challenges our natural biases, the way we interact with others, and how we can mirror Jesus’ upside-down values in our own lives. Are we willing to step outside our comfort zones to love and engage with those society often dismisses?…

Mirroring Jesus: His Temptation 41:24

Today's teaching focuses on Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, as recorded in Luke 4:1-13. Temptation is something we all face, and whether we give in or stand strong, the consequences are real. But how did Jesus resist temptation? And what can His example teach us about standing firm in our faith? Join us as we learn how to mirror Jesus’ overcoming of temptation and find strength to resist the forces that try to lead us astray.…

This week we are exploring how the voices and influences in our lives—whether they be from social media, newsfeeds, political affiliations, or even friends—shape our worldview and ultimately guide our paths. We are looking at Luke 6:39-49 to help us reflect on how following the wrong voices can lead us into destructive patterns, and how critical it is to intentionally examine the voices that we listen to daily. We hope today's teaching encourages you to take a closer look at the voices shaping your own life and take practical steps toward following Jesus more intentionally.…

Mirroring Jesus: His Love 46:06

46:06

In this episode of Grace Hill Church’s podcast, we explore one of Jesus' most challenging commands: love your enemies (Luke 6:27-36). This radical, self-sacrificing love isn’t based on feelings but on action—breaking cycles of retaliation and mirroring Christ’s heart. In a culture driven by division and outrage, Jesus calls His followers to embody costly love, not the cheap, conditional love the world offers. Tune in to this week’s teaching to consider the life-changing power of loving your enemies—because in doing so, you’ll never look more like Jesus.…

In this conversation, we’ll reflect on how the light of Jesus guides us in three key areas: 1. Spiritual Formation over Ideological Formation – Choosing to be shaped by God's truth instead of cultural trends. 2. Embrace over Exclusion – Reflecting Jesus' inclusive love, welcoming people of all backgrounds into our community. 3. Jesus over Everything – Ensuring that Jesus remains the center of our lives and the light we reflect.…

In this special Christmas Eve teaching, we dive into the timeless longing for a Savior.

From the unexpected vulnerability of a newborn to the powerful victory of the cross, we see how Jesus is the true Savior who fulfills our deepest desires.…

Cradle To Crown: The Unsettling Joy of Advent 46:06

12 weeks ago46:06

46:06

Today we encounter a profoundly unsettling passage from Luke 3:7-18. While the world rushes toward premature Christmas cheer, John the Baptist’s message cuts through our spiritual complacency like a fiery blade. His harsh words—"You brood of vipers!"—aren't the stuff of holiday cards or cozy manger scenes. Instead, these words call us to confront the uncomfortable truth that God's coming is not a quiet, sentimental scene, but a cataclysmic reordering of all things. In this episode, we explore how Advent resists the cultural temptation of comfort and brings us face-to-face with the approaching end of the world as we know it. John’s prophetic voice urges us to relinquish our illusions, confront our misplaced confidences, and surrender to God’s judgment and mercy. Join us for a reflection that challenges our spiritual complacency, guides us into a deeper understanding of repentance, and calls us to bear fruits that anticipate the Kingdom to come.…

Cradle to Crown: Living with Hope in Uncertain Times 43:33

Living with Hope in Uncertain Times: A Look at Luke 21 In this Advent season, we often focus on the sweetness of Christmas—on the birth of Jesus, the infant in the manger. But in today's episode, we turn to a very different part of Scripture: Luke 21. This chapter takes us beyond the peaceful scenes of Bethlehem and into a challenging, sobering glimpse of the future. Jesus, speaking to His disciples, warns of impending chaos—the destruction of the temple, false messiahs, wars, environmental disasters, and persecution. It's a dark picture, yet it holds a message of hope. As we face the uncertainty of the present, fear often becomes a powerful force in our lives. From media that preys on our anxieties to cultural pressures that stir up dread, it's easy to be overwhelmed. But Advent invites us to shift our focus. It calls us to look forward—to a promised future, even amidst present trials. Just like the progression of light in a sunrise, Advent points us toward the hope that the darkness is not the final word. In this episode, we explore how we can live with hope, even in the face of fear. Through the lens of Jesus' teachings, we discuss: Hope amid institutional failure. Hope when false saviors arise Hope during times of war and political instability Hope through natural disasters and environmental calamities Hope despite persecution and loss of religious safety Join us for this powerful reflection on living with hope during Advent, as we look to the future with expectation and trust in the promises of our coming King.…

Lament is a universal part of the human experience. Life’s challenges—whether health, financial, relational, or mental—can overwhelm us, but how can we navigate through these hardships in a way that can brings healing and purpose?
