There is a way of handling our money, that while counterintuitive and uncomfortable is the key to stressing less and thriving more in the area of finances. Flip the script.

When it comes to our stuff we aren't owners, we are managers. As managers we are accountable and responsible for what we do with what we've been given.

Money is a means to an end, it is not the end in and of itself. Its just a tool and it can be used to add meaning to you life when it is used a means to an end that goes beyond you

Part 4

The church is responsible for an incredible amount of evil in the world and throughout world history. But is that statement true? How do we navigate the tension between the bad things the church has done and what Jesus commands us to do?

The church didn't stop after the first disciples of Jesus died. In fact, the church grew at an incredible rate. This week we look at how the church grew and the different forms the church has taken over the centuries.

Everything has a beginning. Hope Community had a beginning, but our story doesn't start with us, it started 2,000 years ago when Jesus launched his gathering, his church. This message explores how the church started and Jesus's promise to build his church.

It seems like we are an increasingly offended culture and we've bought into the lie that being offended and living the "good life" are mutually exclusive. Well it turns out they're not. In fact the thing that offends us often is the very thing that leads us into the life we so deeply desire.

Just like we all have physical hunger, we also all have spiritual hunger, desires/needs that go beyond the physical. We want meaning, purpose, value, identity. We want to know am I loved, do I belong, am I part of something greater than myself? What can satisfy our spiritual hunger?"

John 6 opens with one of the most famous and most important miracles of Jesus' ministry, the feeding of the 5000. Thru it we see the incredible reality that we are invited to be a part of what Jesus is doing in the world. The question is will we meet that invitation with "how" or "wow?"
