Abiding Hope Church

In the feeding of the 5000, Jesus doesn't show generosity by breaking bread and giving it to the crowd to eat, but by having compassion on all those who are gathered. He then commands the disciples to feed. In this podcast, Pastor Doug encourages us to dig deep and think about what we want to change in the world with our own compassionate generosity.

Pastor Laura encourages us to fully participate in all things in the world so that we can live truly as God’s children.

In this first part of the Spirit Unleashed series at Abiding Hope Church, Pastor Doug leads us in a study on the first words in the book of Genesis, reminding us we are made in the image and likeness of God. We are living as a part of God, and this includes God's generosity. How do we reflect God's nature by our own commitment to generosity?

Pastor Doug discusses creation and our responsibility to take care of all living things.

Pastor Laura compares power to authority and encourages us to live like we are made of God beyond worldly constrictions.

Pastor Jay compares the world economy of earning and deserving to the economy of God that is a gift of grace.

Pastor Doug explores the challenging concept of forgiveness and encourages us to intentionally work to become conduits of that forgiveness.

Pastor Laura looks at what it means to be in an authentic community with others, challenging us to look within ourselves for barriers.

Pastor Jay reflects on what it means to be home and how we can be whole in God’s vision for the world.

Addressing the new school year and our kids, Pastor Doug reminds us that those who are truly great live, love, and serve Christ.
