In this new series, part four of his detailed study of Romans, Pastor Jim will unpack the truth of Romans 6 & 7 and how Jesus radically changes the direction of our life’s journey. Find turn-by-turn directions and learn to avoid the danger zones as we understand how to be set free from sin and guilt and live in the victory of the resurrected Christ.

Many have referred to Paul’s letter to the Romans as ‘the fifth gospel’ because if it’s extensive explanation of what salvation in Jesus Christ is all about. In this new series of messages entitled ‘Undeserved,’ Pastor Jim Locke will lead us on a journey through the heart of the gospel, a section of Scripture many consider to be the the most important theological statement in the Bible. Join the Hillcrest family as we celebrate the undeserved gospel of grace in all its glory.

One of the things that we are working hardest on right now is our preparation for DNow 2011, taking place February 25-27. Last year’s DNow weekend saw nearly 200 students make a LOT of noise for Jesus. There were multiple salvations, baptisms, commitments, and callings. We know that this year will not only bring the same harvest, but that it is going to be NEXT LEVEL stuff. Our friend John Mark Harrison will be joining us to bring God’s Word in a big way and Ben Kimsal is fronting the best band in town to lead us in our worship music all weekend.

If you haven’t registered yet there’s still time. The cost is only $50 for the entire weekend and that includes everything (food, lodging, and fun) from 5:00 Friday to Noon on Sunday. All we need from you is a $10 deposit and a completed registration form to get you signed up today. Forms are available all over the church OR you can click here for the Hillcrest Students 2011 DNOW Reg form and download one yourself. For that matter, why don’t you print 4 or 5 and sign up some friends to bring with you. They can be turned in to Joyce, David, or Jace in the church office.

Our 2^nd annual DNow Dodgeball Tournament is going to be worth the price of admission alone! Not only that, but on Thursday, February 17, at 6:30 we are having a BLOWOUT party in the Pier to get as many people as possible signed up at the last minute. We’ll be giving away some awesome prizes and there will be a few special guests joining us as we get pumped up for the next weekend.

We will be holding a DNow Parent/Student Meeting in the Pier on Sunday, February 13 at 5:00. At this meeting we’ll be giving you all of the final details of the event. In the meantime, if you have questions you can call or email us and we’ll help however we can.

We are looking forward to 2011 being the greatest year in the history of our church. JOIN US!!! – David Wiggins, Hillcrest Students
