Following Jesus can be a struggle. Sometimes it’s hard to know what, when and why to do things. And even when we know what we’re supposed to do as Christians, it can be really hard to live it out. The struggle is real! That’s why we don’t think that anybody should be going through this journey alone – and that’s why we believe that small groups are so critical to our Christian Discipleship. It’s in small groups where we grow closer to one another and learn to live out our Christian call in community. But, we get it. Small groups can be intimidating and there are lots of reasons for saying no. But, no matter how good your excuses are, they are still just excuses. So, this fall, Blessed Hope is launching our new small group semester with the goal of 100% participation. It’s a tall order, but with your help we can do it. And if the legal defense team in your head is already working overdrive to figure out a way out – then join us as we debunk your best reasons for saying no to small group in our new sermon series, “just say yes.”

We all need people to support us. Life was never intended to be lived alone. It's hard and it takes community.

We are only given an allotted time. Don't waste it on the "lesser" things...or things that won't last.

What’s true? Who do I follow? Which way do I go? What do I believe? With so many “truths” out there, how do can we ever really know what is right for sure? How can we know who to trust? Those are important questions - but there is one absolute source of truth that we can trust completely - Jesus Christ. In the Bible, Jesus tells us that he is truth (John 14:6) – which means that he is the absolute definition of truth. So when we aren't sure what to think about something (especially something spiritual)...it would do well for us to go to the source of truth.

This week we look at joy. Real joy is found in a relationship with God through Jesus.

This week we look at worship and tradition. Tradition that adds to worship is good. Tradition that clouds the focus of worship is problematic. Jesus is always the key.

This week we take a look at bold faith. Faith is the backbone of a relationship with Jesus. Faith should free and empower us!
