Hillside Missionary Church

Hillside Missionary Church - 10/4/20 Service

Whether you’re a guest or a long-time attendee we’re glad you’re here with us. Hillside is a friendly and caring group of Christians who are here to help people be CONNECTED with Jesus, CHANGED by Jesus, and COMMITTED to the mission of Jesus. GUESTS: Thanks for joining us today! We truly believe that you’re not here by accident and that God has some amazing plans for your life. If you feel comfortable doing so, feel free to text pastor Josh at 574.903.7578 and let him know you are participating with us. We’d love to get you connected with us and let you know more about who we are! SERMON SERIES: Our sermon series is going through the book of 1 Timothy and is entitled, “Fixated.” Today’s message, from chapter 6, answers the question, “Why Do I Feel So Unsettled?” CONNECT: We’d love for you to connect with us online! During this time of social distancing we have added an online version of every week’s service. You can find them on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and on our website, hmcworship.com. In addition to that, we encourage you to continue to reach out to your church family through letters, texts, phone calls, and on social media.

1 Timothy 6:3-10 ESV

In this passage of God’s Word, Paul implores Timothy to encourage the people of his church towards contentment in their own lives. By taking a close look at this part of Paul’s letter to Timothy, we can see how our faith is negatively impacted when we are discontent.

1. Realize discontentment is poison for your faith
1 Tim. 6:3-5, 1 Cor. 7:17, Matt. 6:19-25

2. Realize contentment is a stimulant for your faith
1 Tim. 6:6-8, Ps. 37:3-5, Prov. 3:5, Phil. 4:4-7

3. Realize money isn't evil, but the love of money is
1 Tim. 6:9-10, Ps. 23:1, Heb. 13:5, Luke 12:15

Reflection Questions

1. What earthly things take up a lot of your time, money, mental energy, ect.? Could you go without those things and be content? What affects would going without those things have on your life?

2. Are there any earthly things in your life, that if you lost, would cause you to have an extreme negative reaction? Why?

3. What, when you focus on it, makes you discontent? (ex. your job, housing, money, cars, ect.) How could you focus less on that? What affect would focusing less on that have on your life?

4. Is there anything in your life that, even though you may not be spending large amounts of time, money, or mental energy on, that you could go without that would cause you to be more content in your life?

5. What are the practical step(s) that you can take in order to be more content in your life? How would accomplishing that help your relationship with God? Who will keep you accountable to that?

Giving

We have added online giving to our website, hmcworship.com. Feel free to give online, or snail mail a check to the church building at 21567 Ireland Rd. South Bend, IN. 46614. You can also give during our in-person services, via the security box in the wall located in the church foyer.

Directory

If you would like to continue connecting with your church family but need people’s contact information to do that, we’d love to get that information to you! We have complied an “online-friendly,” updated version of our directory. In order to protect people’s information, we are not posting it online, though. Instead, simply contact us and we will send it to you. We can also print a paper version off if that would be easier for you. Please contact Pastor Josh for more information.

In-Person Service Update

We are now meeting in our gym instead of our sanctuary to provide enough space for social distancing. In accordance with the guidance from our local officials, when you are not seated 6 or more feet away from those outside your household, we ask that those 8 years old and older wear a mask. While you are seated at least 6 feet away from those outside your household, you are welcome to remove your mask. No offering plates will be passed; instead we ask you to give online or via the giving box near the gym entrance. Tables are set up in the back row of the gym, so that families with young children can enjoy our kids’ bulletins and activities that correspond with today’s message. We also kindly ask you to use the restroom before you come, to ensure that our restrooms are as clean as possible for those who need to use them. Thank you for your continual faithfulness and flexibility during these times.

Small Group

If you’re looking to go deeper with what Pastor Josh preaches on Sunday mornings or just looking for some extra fellowship time with your church family, a small group will be meeting on Sundays after the service. We are also launching several other small groups in both in-person and online formats! If you are interested, please contact Pastor Josh with any questions.
