City Hope Fellowship

In what are you trusting? We often say that we are trusting God, but our actions tell a different story. Join us as we dive into the Proverbs to learn about trust, worship, and money.

Last week we looked at why we work to discover ancient wisdom on a complicated question. This week we continue on the topic of work, but dig into the how of work? What ancient wisdom does the book of Proverbs provide for the ethics of our work? Join us to find out.

How do we understand work? Is it meaningless? Is it cosmic? Join us to learn some wisdom from the book of proverbs to understand a theology of work.

One feature of life in the modern world seems to be there is always a camera around. If there is a camera, there is an audience. How does this reality train us to constantly be performing? And how does this performing warp our understanding of grace? Join us this morning as we continue looking at the book of Proverbs to learn ancient wisdom.

Trying to make a tough decision? What happens when you plan, prepare and finally make a tough decision, only to have it result in a whole bunch of bad unintended consequences? Today, join us as we continue looking to the book of Proverbs to learn some ancient wisdom on what to do with unintended consequences.

Matt James offers reflections on following Jesus, enduring difficulty, and being thankful for community :(

Technology and culture continue to make life more and more frictionless. On the surface this seems like a really great thing and in many instances it is wonderful. However, what if I push for less and less friction leaves us worse off and not better? What if we need friction and resistance for growth? Join us as we continue looking at 7 questions for ancient wisdom from the book of Proverbs. Where's the sandpaper?

What happens if I get caught and my hidden motives are exposed? We live in fear of this reality so we just keep those skeletons in the closet. But, what if there is a better way to live? The way of wisdom that God shows us in the book of Proverbs teaches us that we can bring these skeletons out of the closet and live in the freedom offered by Jesus. Join us as we continue to look for ancient wisdom in this artificial time.

In a time of artificial intelligence, increasing isolation and growing discontent, how can we live a good life? The good life cannot be pursued alone, but requires community. Join us this morning as we learn about community life together as we continue in our sermon series on the book of Proverbs.
