Hope Church Cornwall

Jesus calls his followers to be his agents of transformation in the world. It is a wonderful privilege but, at times, a costly calling. Listen in as we explore what it means to be the 'salt of the earth' and the 'light of the world.'

When Jesus first delivered the sermon on the Mount he was surrounded by those who were considered to be the lowest and the least. It was a deliberate strategy designed to reveal the counter-cultural, upside-down nature of the Kingdom of God. Listen in as we consider who the truly blessed ones are.

As we introduce a new teaching series exploring the sermon on the Mount, we begin by exploring the backdrop to Jesus' famous teaching and reflect particularly on the identity of the preacher and the context of the sermon.

Genesis 32 records a fascinating encounter between God and Jacob. In this sermon, we reflect on what this encounter has to teach us about who God is and who we are.

Philippians 4 v 4-7 offers a beautiful description of what the inner life of a Christian could be. It also provides a strategy for how to get there. Join us as we think together about how we can pursue a life that is free of anxiety and fear.

The Resurrection of Christ is a wonderful and powerful reality, but for the first disciples it was difficult to make sense of. In Luke 24 Jesus joins two of his followers on the road and leads them on a journey from doubt to faith, from confusion to confidence, and from sadness to joy. It is a powerful story that will comfort and help us, especially in times of doubt and disappointment.

When the first humans chose to reject God's command in the garden, sin entered the world, and with it came a deep and tragic sense of shame that humanity has been grappling with ever since. Wonderfully, God covered the shame of Adam & Eve, and he offers to do the same for us too.

Adam & Eve were given a choice in the garden. Life or Death? We all are faced with a similar question every day. God invites us to receive His life and goodness, but like Adam & Eve, we often choose death over life. Join us as we explore the events of Genesis chapter 3 and discover again the depths of God's compassion and grace towards stubborn and foolish humans like us.

Sin is never simply about 'breaking the rules' or 'doing bad things'. There is always some misguided belief underneath all sinful behaviour. Join us as we explore Genesis 3 and discover the story that lies behind every sin.

God is the owner of everything, and all that we have belongs to him. Join us this week as Dave Francis helps us to discover what it means for us to be stewards of all that God has made.
