Farewell, Pastor Martin
Today is Pastor Martin Pakula’s final Sunday service as Interim Pastor of Hills Bible Church.

The Need for Effective Leadership
People will naturally follow someone that inspires them to be more successful in life, to strive to achieve all we can as a team and as individuals… to enjoy the successes together, and to support each other through struggles.

Mercy – What it is and What it Isn’t

Pride is the Spiritual Cancer of Humanity
Pride is the main obstacle in our hearts that stops us coming to God. It is the spiritual disease that puts the focus on oneself and not on God. It is a condition that is inherit in all of us.

Just like Christ first did for us, we should be prepared to love others out of service to them, not expecting anything in return.
