In Praise of the Village with Hilltop Children's Choir from 9:00 Service
Monday Apr 24, 2017
Monday Apr 24, 2017
This is the 9:00 version with the Sanctuary Singers, and I think based on microphone positioning, and smaller adult ensemble, the children are more obviously part of this. Goose bump to me, I know how long this dream has been nurtured at Hilltop and what kind of potential fruitfulness exists with this ministry.

Sunday Apr 09, 2017
The sermon is on the Luke 18: 35 to 19: 10. I am not 100% sure why we read the passage before except maybe for the forecast of Calvary. I used this as an opportunity to review where we had been over the earlier four weeks and try, key word - try, to put a cherry on top of those four reflections.

Lazarus and the Rich Man -- Luke 16: 19-31

My take on this episode is that it is about privilege. How do we leave it behind us? Part of it is that we need to see those around us who are in need. I do hope that Father Abraham is incorrect in that we can indeed understand God's message by listening to one who has returned from the dead.
