From Series: "Decide! (Hillside Theme - 2024)"
The word for Hillside in 2024 is "Decide." Will we choose to follow God, or will we choose to serve ourselves?

We know that Jesus is powerful. After all, He raised the dead, gave sight to the blind, and “rebuked” nature. There’s no doubt that He can do whatever He wants, any time He wants.
But is it possible for Him to calm my soul?
Our lives can be full of anxiety, fear, suspicion, danger, and sadness. We call on God to help us, but do we actually believe He can? Or, more specifically, how can we be know if He has?
For that, we turn to the Psalms of Lament. These psalms make up nearly 1/3 of the book of Psalms, and they are very relatable when we find ourselves in tough times. They also teach us a lot about our own faith and how it practically intersects with the world around us.

CloseWhen Joshua stood in front of Israel after they conquered Canaan, he told them one thing: ...They needed to choose if they would serve God. That decision reflects intentionality. When you make a decision to follow God, you're all in. Whatever the implications are for that decision are yours, but you'v chosen the path you're going to take. The first decision we need to make as Christians is to decide if God is Lord. That begins with having a healthy fear and reverence for His name. But what does that mean?
