September 13, 2026 Why the Ascension of Jesus Matters: Christ’s Kingship, the Holy Spirit, and Our Mission
What does it mean that Jesus "ascended into heaven?" Why does it matter for your life today? In this message we look at Acts 1:1-11 and see how the Ascension is more than a historical event: it’s the moment Jesus is enthroned as the true King and sends the Holy Spirit to empower us.

August 30, 2026 Why Did Jesus Have to Die? | John 19 | It Is Finished
Why did Jesus have to die? In this message from John 19:1-30, we look at the crucifixion of Jesus and unpack the real reason behind it, not Rome's fear of an uprising, not the religious leaders' charge of blasphemy, but the will of God from before creation.
We trace the phrase "It is finished" back through Jesus' ministry, the Passover lamb in Exodus, and Isaiah 53, to see why this moment on the cross is the most significant event in history. Along the way we hear from Charles Spurgeon's classic 1861 sermon on this same phrase.

August 24, 2026 Who Do You Say Jesus Is? | Matthew 16
What does it actually mean to follow Jesus? In Matthew 16:13-28, Jesus takes his disciples to Caesarea Philippi, a place soaked in pagan worship, and asks them the question that decides everything: "Who do you say that I am?" Peter's answer, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God," becomes the foundation Jesus builds his church on. But confession is only the start. Jesus goes on to tell his disciples what it costs to follow him: deny yourself, take up your cross, and lose your life to find it.In this message from our year-long walk through The Gospel Story, we look at what it means to move from saying Jesus is Lord to actually living like it.About Us: At Hope Community, we are dedicated to making disciples of Jesus who are transformed by truth, sent out on mission, and live together in unity.

August 10, 2026 Everyone Is Invited. Few Say Yes.
Jesus looks out at a massive crowd... and turns to talk to a much smaller group. Why?Because there's a difference between being curious about Jesus and actually following him. In this message, we dig into the opening of Jesus's most famous teaching and ask what it really means to be a disciple — not a checklist, not a performance, but a whole new kind of heart.About Us: At Hope Community, we are dedicated to making disciples of Jesus who are transformed by truth, sent out on mission, and live together in unity.

August 02, 2026 Baptism and Battle: Where Israel Failed, Jesus Was Faithful | Matthew 3-4
Israel came out of Egypt, passed through the waters, and failed the test in the wilderness. Jesus comes out of the waters of baptism, and immediately the Spirit leads him into the wilderness to face the same kind of test. He is faithful.
In this message, we see how Jesus is the true and faithful Israel. He succeeds where Israel, and all humanity, fell short. We also discuss what that means for us: when you become a son or daughter of God, you're not just adopted into a family. You step into a battle.

July 26, 2026 Jesus Was There All Along | John 1
Every promise. Every story. Every prophet pointing forward. It all leads here.
In John 1, the whole storyline of Scripture finally comes into focus. The Creator God who spoke the world into being became human and pitched His tent among us, full of grace and truth. He is the new temple, the place where God meets humanity and sin is paid for. He is the one every Old Testament thread was always pointing toward.
But John doesn't just want you to know who Jesus is. He wants you to trust Him with everything, and to receive the right to become a child of God.

July 19, 2026 Prayer, Repentance, Scripture: The Path to Revival
Revival isn't something we manufacture. It's something God does.
But every time God has moved in a significant way, it's been preceded by the same three things: prayer and fasting, confession and repentance, and a people shaped by Scripture.
In Nehemiah 9, the people of Israel model this. They fast. They confess — not just their own sin, but the sins of their ancestors. They spend six hours listening to and responding to God's Word.
This message walks through what that pattern looks like, and what it means for us today. Do you want to see revival — in your life, your family, this church, our nation? This is the ground we have to prepare.
