Biblical hope isn't wishful thinking or optimism about your circumstances. In this Ask Anything message, Pastor Phil Hopper opens Romans 5 to explain why real hope never disappoints. Biblical hope is confident expectation grounded in God's faithfulness. Our circumstances, whether good or bad, will not last forever, but God's unchanging, eternal promises will. 

Scripture in this message: 

• 1 Corinthians 13:13 
• Romans 5:1-5 
• Romans 8:17 
• 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

What is faith? Faith isn't a feeling, and it isn't wishful thinking — it's trusting in divine facts about who Jesus is and what He has done.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 13:13, Pastor Phil Hopper explains how faith, hope, and love form the foundation of the A-Life, the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10. 

You'll hear why every person is a person of faith, and why the real question isn't whether you believe but what your faith rests on. Biblical faith is never blind faith; it stands on rational, tangible, verifiable evidence for God and for the resurrection of Jesus. 

Discover what faith really is and how it anchors the abundant life in Christ.

What does true revival look like—and how can you experience it personally? In this message from Nehemiah 8, Pastor Chad Glover explores five marks of a life renewed by God.

As Israel gathers at the Water Gate after rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls, they ask Ezra to read the Book of the Law of Moses. They listen attentively as it is explained, respond in worship, and move from mourning to great joy as they understand and obey God’s Word.

God cares about the places in your life that feel broken or out of alignment. Discover how placing them in the hands of your Heavenly Father can lead to experiencing a life reset by God.

Praying with power isn't about saying the right words; it's about praying according to who God is and what He has promised. In this message from Nehemiah 1, Pastor Phil Hopper explains how Nehemiah prayed and fasted for four months before ever approaching the king, appealing first to God's character and then to God's promises.

You'll see how true revival always begins with repentance, and how Nehemiah took responsibility for sins committed by his people generations before he was even born. Be challenged to draw near to God through honest confession and persistent, believing prayer. Trust that when you pray according to who God is and what He has promised, He hears and He answers.

To God, the greatest tragedy isn't giving your life for others; it's a life lived only for yourself. In this episode, Pastor Phil Hopper unpacks Galatians 6:10-18 and what it means to follow Jesus and bear His marks in a world that avoids suffering.

You'll learn why the Apostle Paul pointed to his scars from persecution as evidence of authentic faith, and why we're consecrated to whatever we're willing to die for; until we're willing to die for Christ, we'll never fully live for Him.

Discover the four marks of a crucified, consecrated life: Dangerous Faith, Suffering Faith, Sacrificing Faith, and Holy Faith, and why the crucified life, not a comfortable one, is the only way to experience the abundant life.

Scripture: Galatians 6:10-18

Walking in the Spirit isn’t about perfection; it’s about letting Jesus have possession of your heart and your everyday decisions. In this message from Galatians 5:16–26, Pastor Phil Hopper explains how believers live with two natures, the flesh and the Spirit, and how every choice we make feeds one or the other. 

You’ll see the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, and how God’s design is for His Spirit to rule your soul and body so you can live a life that is holy, healthy, and happy. This episode will challenge you to crucify the flesh, walk in step with the Spirit, and experience the freedom that comes from a relationship with Jesus, not religious lists.

Freedom in Christ is a gift you can’t afford to waste. In this message from Galatians 5:13–15, Pastor Chad Glover shows how our liberties in Jesus are meant to lead us to love God and serve others, not indulge the flesh.

You’ll learn the call of liberty—Jesus sets captives free from sin, shame, and fear—and the danger of corrupting that liberty by taking grace for granted. The sermon walks you through heart-check questions to help you navigate your liberties in Christ. 

Discover how true freedom culminates in one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself,” and how to use your liberty to build others up instead of causing them to stumble.
