Numbers 23 & 24 - Living in the Last Days - Our Confidence

Balak the king of Moab calls for a seer named Balaam to curse the nation of Israel who is camped in front of the Promised Land. Balaam refuses to curse whom God has blessed and instead speaks oracles that allows us to come to know and believe things that give us confidence as we living the last days. We have confidence because of the character of God, the King who has come and the victory that he has won!

Genesis 49 - Living in the Last Days - Our Hope

The "Last Days" is first spoken of in the book of Genesis and points to a time where a king from the line of Judah will interrupt the curse of sin and death and bring hope, salvation, and blessing. Our hope in the last day rests on Jesus who came to pay the penalty for our sins and offer forgiveness and grace to all who submit to his authority. This powerful Hebrew prophetic poem gives us a picture of the coming king that is fulfilled in Jesus!

Genesis 2:1-3 - Are we there yet? (Mike Miller)

One of Hollyview's elders Mike Miller looks at the seventh day of creation as it is set apart from the rest of creation. The beginning of the rest from God begins on day seven but hasn't ended. That rest is offered to us today!

Galations 5 - Christ has set us free (Craig Johnson)

One of Hollyview's elders leads us through this rich passage of scripture to highlight that in Christ we are free from law of sin and death and free to live for Christ and His glory. Works of the law will never satisfy and make us whole like the gift of Jesus can.

Jubilee - 50th Anniversary

Four of Hollyview's previous pastors each give a message and encouragement to the next generation.

Acts 16:25 - The Sacrament of Song (Caleb Wright)

Caleb Wright explores a biblical theology of the importance of corporate singing as a way to embody our faith as we rehearse and remind ourselves of the greatness of God.

Principle #5 - Recapturing the Imagination

This message explores the transformative power of storytelling within the context of sharing the Gospel with a Meta-modern generation. Emphasizing the use of parables as narratives that intertwine profound truths with personal reflection, it advocates for engaging cultural change by recapturing imagination through stories that resonate deeply and provoke spiritual awakening.

Principle #4 - Redeeming a Confessional Faith

The fourth principle offered to engage the Meta-Modern generation with the hope of the Gospel emphasizes the transformative power of words. It draws from Isaiah's experience and personal testimony to illustrate how faithful proclamation of the Gospel shapes both our own hearts and calls others to life. It calls believers to speak about Jesus with love and authenticity, integrating it naturally into everyday conversation to bring life and hope to others.

Principle #3 - Reformation to a Kingdom of Priests

Principle number three of engaging the meta-modern generation with the hope of the gospel focuses on the idea of the priesthood of all believers drawing from the Exodus narrative and the Protestant Reformation. The communal nature of faith leads believers to embrace their identity as priests which reshapes their perspective, community, and outreach. With the pessimism of authority so prevalent in today's world, the greatest evangelist of this next generation will be a worshiping community of Jesus followers.

Principle #2 - Return to the Margins

This message offers principle #2 of engaging a Meta-Modern generation with the hope of the gospel with truth and grace. Following Jesus' example to empathize with human weakness and the power of humility in relating with others. We see that weakness can build bridges, fostering relationships and understanding. Weakness can build sympathy, creating common ground for connection and our weakness can bring God glory! Where we are weak, He is strong! We are encouraged to step out of our comfort zones to those on the margins, embodying Christ love and compassion in practical ways.
