In a Gospel saturated life and church we can be honest with God and with one another.  We do not need to fake our faith or hide our sin.  Instead, we can find full life by having genuine connections with God, self, and others.

At Hope Alliance we believe it should be casual and easy for people to see Jesus in our church, our lives, and our homes.  But, we also believe it requires depth to stay with Jesus on the journey of life.    We call this Casual Depth.

The Gospel is a proclamation, not a proposition.  It rescues and renews us to produce fruit out in the world.  Through our love of Jesus we begin to live the life of Jesus, one Gospel saturated day at a time.

At Hope, we are defined by the statement Simply Jesus.   Jesus is first.  Everything else is second.  It's that simple.  The story of the transfiguration helps remind us that our role is to point people to Jesus only and avoid the common pitfalls and traps of religion.

Choosing to follow God as our shepherd is both a child-like act of faith and a choice we make in wisdom.  

The journey home to God is long and we need strength to endure.  We learn in Psalm 84 that strength is found in God's presence and in the pursuit of Him through worship, serving, and drawing close to Him in integrity and trust.

Using grand poetic language, the author of Psalm 91 wants the people of God to know they can count on God to be their refuge.  And when we intentionally trust God with our lives, we can find tender protection and ultimate salvation under "his wings".

If we do not intentionally remember, we accidentally forget.  David tells his soul (and ours) to both bless God and remember God's compassionate character and covenant love.  

God's design for humanity and the world is one full of good.  In our sin and idolatry we have messed that up.  But God in HIS goodness wants to show us a better way through the Gospel.

In the Psalms there is an overwhelming sense of the "otherness" of God.  The Lord is Holy Psalm 99 declares.  And our response to a Holy God can be nothing other than worship.
