Hope City College Ministry

Minister Naomi Chatman teaches and testifies about how Jesus is the “God of the Valley” and how to handle suffering well as a follower of Christ. Minister Naomi anchors her message in 5 Truths: 1. The Sovereignty of God 2. The Presence of God 3. The Love of God 4. The Immutability of God 5. The Goodness of God. These 5 truths are meant to serve as anchors for endurance as believers WILL go through suffering in this world.

Pastor Josh Underwood continues discussing the attributes of Jesus as he teaches about the Lordship of Jesus Christ. He teaches that Jesus is not only the Lord of our individual lives as believers, but He is Lord over heaven, earth, and hell. He teaches 1. Jesus is the Lord of the kingdom of God 2. The devil has power too because he rules the kingdom of darkness 3. Jesus came to destroy various works of the devil on the cross 4. Jesus publicly displayed himself as Lord over the kingdom of darkness through deliverance both publicly and privately.

In this message, he covers concepts about Jesus being the only way to know God the Father and to have access to God's presence. Pastor Josh helps explain the Narrow Gate vs. the Broad Gate and ushers a gospel presentation so we can see what the narrow way to the Father is. He ends the sermon by discussing how the "Old way" of the tabernacle system was to point to Jesus as the New and Living way to access God.

Examples of what a Holy Father’s love looks like.
