This past Sunday, we explored our third core value at Hope Church- We live like Community is Essential. We are living through what many have called an epidemic of loneliness, where social connection and authentic community are becoming increasingly rare. Unfortunately, the church is no exception to this trend. The church in our day is often viewed as an event or social group that leaves many Christians unfulfilled. However, in Scripture, we are given a vision of how the new community of Jesus, the body of Christ, can exemplify unity, dependence, and maturity in our socially disconnected age.

Simple & True | Acts Series | May 12th, 2024
This past Sunday, we continued our teaching series through the Book of Acts, exploring the strange process by which the apostles selected a successor for Judas Iscariot, Jesus's betrayer. In this passage, we read that Peter believes that the replacement of Judas fulfills Old Testament prophecy, which is why it is so odd that the disciples resort to using such a seemingly random process as “casting lots” to make the decision. This tension reminds us that while God’s plan is intricate and complex, his faithfulness is simple and true. And no matter what we are walking through or are uncertain about, we can count on the faithfulness of God in the grandest plans and the most minor details.

Core Values | Culture Matters & The World Needs Hope | April 28th, 2024
This past Sunday, we explored our fourth and fifth core values at Hope Church- We live like Culture Matters and that the World Needs Hope. As followers of Jesus, we often feel that we are constantly at odds with the trends and forces shaping our culture. However, when we focus on places of overlap with our Christian worldview and engage fully in those areas, we are given an opportunity to tangibly present the Hope of Jesus to the world.

Core Values | The Bible is True & The Gospel Changes Us | April 14th, 2024
This past Sunday, we explored the first two of our five core values at Hope Church: We live like the Bible is True and that the Gospel Changes Us. While many people have various ways of understanding the Bible and its role in the Christian life, at Hope Church, we believe that the Bible is a unified story that leads to Jesus. And as we explore that story (Creation, Fall, Israel, Jesus, New Creation), we uncover good news or “gospel” that has transformed lives and communities all over the world.
