The Spirit of Truth

The birthday of the church is Pentecost Sunday when the disciples first received the Holy Spirit. Jesus had promised to send the Holy Spirit as a helper, comforter, advocate and guide. Jesus had more to say, but didn't. The Spirit of Truth was promised to guide us into all truth. The Holy Spirit is still speaking to us the words of Jesus - both what Jesus said and taught, and what Jesus still has to say that isn't recorded in the gospels

Romans Bible Study Recap ep. 2

Thursday May 16, 2024
Pastor Phil recaps our Wednesday night Bible study through the book of Romans
Episode 2 covers Romans 1:18-2:16
This session covers the controversial passage on homosexuality. There is growing evidence to revaluate this passage in light of the Roman culture and our new understandings about orientation and gender.
Hartford City Church respects all people regardless of their interpretation of this passage and is committed to the full inclusion of all people into the Body of Christ regardless of sexual orientation or gender. All are welcome and everyone is invited to saving faith through Jesus Christ

Easter Encounter with Jesus and Mary Magdalene

Mary's encounter with the risen Jesus Christ
Mary Magdalene is the first witness, the apostle to the apostles, and the first to preach the gospel of the resurrection. She plays a huge role in why Christianity is alive and well today!
Jesus Christ, however, takes center stage as the One who is truly Savior and Lord.
May this reflection on the Easter story, encourage, inspire, and equip you to also be a bearer of the Good News!
