Don't Waste Your Life

Hope and a Future // Brian Jones, Senior Pastor // January 11th, 2026 . . . www.thehillscommunity.church No one is disqualified from being used by God - Because God has shown immeasurable grace to us, we will lead with grace in every relationship and circumstance. This means that we will be quick to listen, absent from condemnation, and limitless in forgiveness and love. God only uses broken people, and we are going to be the first to admit that in our brokenness God is working in amazing ways. We will see potential in any and every person. And as God brings the furthest person from him, we trust that he will transform every life. Romans 1:16, Ephesians 2:4-5, Romans 3:23-24 We fight for relationships - When Jesus told his followers to go and make disciples he had just modeled three years spending every day together building relationships with them. Jesus made disciples by building meaningful relationships, and we are committed to following his example. That’s why we will always be striving to lead through relationships rather than by position or authority. Gal 6:1-2, Romans 12:10, John 13:34-35 Love is our motivation - Love is the foundation of our ministry. And for us, love is more than a feeling or commitment. Love always requires action. In following Jesus, we must constantly be asking, “What does love require?”. 1 Cor 13:1-13, John 13:35 We are willing to risk being known - Being fake does no one any good. We will be a place where people can ask questions, doubt, and be open about what they are going through without fear of judgment. We will also value authenticity over perfection during our gathering times. This means that there will be a healthy tension to manage between excellence and authenticity. This also means that while we take the gospel very seriously, we will never take ourselves too seriously. We will not be afraid to laugh at ourselves. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” Romans 12:9
