Hope Community Church Podcasts: Weekend Messages

We don’t think we’re rich, we think we’re only average. We feel we don’t really “have enough.” But what if it’s not about how much we have, but what we do with what we have? 

It’s not my fault. He did it first. I’ll stop if she will. We have a hard time owning up to our part in disagreements. But resentment is a self-inflicted wound. What if we could learn how to get over ourselves?

We all do it. We like to think we don’t, but we do. And we’ll probably need God’s help to stop doing it. It’s our dirty little secret about what, and who, we value.  

Burn Victims

There comes a time to stop standing still, to do something more than just listen, receive and get. At some point, we must do something different. 

The hardships of life do not shape us; how we respond to them does.  A biblical view of responding to disappointments can safeguard us from spiritual disillusionment when—not if— difficulties surface in our lives.

The beauty of Christmas is that it tells us we don’t have to work our way up to God because He has worked His way down to us. 

Ever feel like something’s missing from your spiritual life? Ever have a sense of incompleteness? Find out what makes the book of James such a go-to book for real life faith in a real life world.

What kind of faith did it take for a young Jewish girl to remain clinging to her God in the midst of pain, persecution and doubt? What kind would help us do the same? 

The first Christmas brought with it scandal, controversy, massacres, and mystery. Yet the Bible proclaims the birth of Jesus good news. This weekend discover why that is as we unwrap just how good the good news really is.

God With Us

What better way to wrap up a series on worship than to spend time together as a church family in praise and worship, especially this weekend before Thanksgiving. And whether times have been good or difficult, we all have much to be thankful for. Join us for this special celebration.  

Worship can be dangerous when it wakes you up to God and His purposes in the world, and it often takes spiritual courage to see that kind of worship through. 

Every weekend people all over the world look up at a screen, open a hymnal, or simply take a breath, and...sing. Is it simply because it's part of a church service, or does it signify something greater? 

Is worship a noun or a verb? Do we do it only at church? Do we do it only when we sing? And whenever and wherever we do it, does it really change everything?
