Long before Christmas trees, decorations, and holiday meals, from the very beginning, the singing of Christmas songs was an important part of celebrating Jesus’ coming to earth. At the very first Christmas, the key participants (Mary, the angels, Zechariah, Simeon) all sang significant songs that commemorated Christ’s birth. This week’s sermon will examine the life of the father of John the Baptist—a man named Zechariah, and the song he sang at Christmas.

Mary's Christmas Song
December 18, 2022 • Pastor Brett Capaci • Luke 1:35–37
This Christmas season at The Hills, we’re studying “Christmas songs” in Scripture that were sung at Jesus’ birth. This week, in the gospel of Luke chapter 1, we’re going to look at Mary’s Christmas song. When the Angel Gabriel gave Mary the shocking news that she would (being a virgin) have a baby, she responded with fear—yet also with humility and obedience.
Fear is NOT my Future
December 4, 2022 • Pastor Nathan Naoumi • Matthew 1:18–25
As we begin our Christmas at the Hills series, Pastor Nathan shows us that the birth of Jesus frees us from fear and causes us to live in faith. During the birth of Jesus, a feeling of uncertainty crept into Josephs mind, but the minute he was told that this birth will usher in redemption, his fear of the future vanished. Let’s investigate this idea more clearly.
