Jesus wants to bring us into greater faith and call us to carry on His ministry in His power. To do this, we need to embrace his statement, “Everything is possible for him who believes.” And when this is difficult, we pray, “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!”

Love is the defining characteristic of the nature of God and of the relationship the Father has with the Son. It is also the core trait of relationships among followers of Jesus. Is this how outsiders would describe Hope Chapel?

Our giving is a true measure of our spiritual condition. We should be giving in a consistent, sacrificial, God-honoring, Spirit-led fashion.

To steward our money well, “saving all we can,” we must avoid conspicuous consumption, practice the discipline of simplicity, and grow in God-honoring vision for the use of our money.

Followers of Jesus need to become wise about handling money and ambitious for Christ when it comes to gaining and using wealth.

We desire welcome and acceptance to be core values of Hope Chapel.

To “love your neighbor as yourself” means to live completely from a disposition to care for anyone in need by exercising your gifts on his or her behalf with the same level of interest and concern you would apply to yourself.

To start our year, we should examine our spiritual foundations, starting with the Greatest Commandment: Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind.
