Decide! (That God is Lord)
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?

The glory of the Resurrection is real, but it’s coupled with the tragedy of the Crucifixion. Even if you’re not religious, it’s one of the most pivotal moments in world history.
But a big question remains…who’s responsible for the death of Jesus?
The usual suspects emerge: Pilate, the Romans, and the Jews. Scripturally though, the Bible talks about how we’re all responsible (1 Peter 2:18-25).
Realistically though, the responsibility is with me. Not everyone (although that is true), but with me. I’m responsible. Me. Just me.
Personalizing the Cross is important, because it reminds me of God’s love. Even if nobody else had sinned, my sins would’ve been enough to put Jesus on the cross.
What a powerful concept for us to think on.

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?
