Welcome to HopeTown Church! In part 3 of the We Are the Church message series, Pastor Tim Ashley dives into Matthew 28:18-20 to explore what it truly means to be the church.

The Great Commission isn't just an individual calling—it takes a collective approach. Together, as the church, we are called to go, make disciples, baptize, and teach under the ultimate authority of Jesus Christ.

Scripture Reference:

Matthew 28: 18-20 (NLT)

"18 Jesus came and told his disciples, 'I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'"

Key Takeaways:

• What Does The Church Do? (Goes + Disciples + Baptizes + Teaches)

• The Great Commission Takes A Collective Approach

What does the biblical church actually look like, and how does it compare to modern culture? In Part 2 of our series "We Are The Church," Pastor Tim Ashley delivers a message titled "What Does The Church Look Like?"

Looking at the early church in Acts 2: 42-47, we explore what happens when believers live with persistent, relentless devotion to God and to one another. At HopeTown Church, our vision is clear: we exist to REACH people who are far from God and CONNECT them with the Hope of Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Tim unpacks three key characteristics of the true church:

• Intensely Devoted: Living in a constant state of relentless pursuit, prayer, fellowship, and Scripture (Proskartereo).

• Irrationally Generous: Leading the way in giving because we truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.

• Unapologetically Sharing Jesus: Doing whatever it takes short of sin to reach people who don't know Christ.

We'll never insult God with small thinking or safe living. Watch to discover how you can take your next step—whether that's reading God's Word, joining a small group, serving, tithing, or praying daily.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:

• Acts 2:42-47

• Acts 4:33-34

• Ephesians 3:20-21

What comes to mind when you hear the word "church"? Is it a building, a Sunday morning routine, or something far greater?

In Part 1 of the message series "We Are The Church," Pastor Tim Ashley dives into Scripture to uncover what God truly intended the Church to be. The Church isn't just a physical location or a weekly event—it is a living, breathing community called to live as people of light.

Key Takeaways

• More than a building: The Church is a People, reconciled to God and joined together as a holy temple through Jesus Christ.
• More than a gathering: The Church is an Assembly, called to encourage one another, spark love, and pursue good works together.
• More than an idea: The Church is a Lifestyle—because faith is acting like God is telling the truth, and true faith reshapes how we think, feel, and act every day.

Scripture References

• Ephesians 2 : 14–22 – Reconciled into one body and built as a dwelling place for God’s Spirit.
• Hebrews 10 : 23–25 – Holding fast to faith and not forsaking assembling together.
• Ephesians 5: 6–10, 15–20 – Living carefully as people of light and making the most of every opportunity.

Pastor Tim Ashley explores what it truly means to uncover who you are in Christ in his message, "Discovering Your Identity."

Too often, we attempt to anchor our identity in our circumstances, our relationships, or our connections. But scripture reminds us that our true identity isn't defined by the world—it is declared by God. You are chosen, royal, set apart, and ultimately, a child of God.

Key Scriptures:

• 1 Peter 2:4–10 (NLT) – Chosen people, royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.

• John 1: 10–13 (NLT) – Born of God and given the right to become children of God.

• James 1: 22–25 (NLT) – Don't just listen to the Word—live it out.

Join us for an insightful message from Pastor Tim Ashley at Hopetown Church, titled "Truth Be Known."

In a world full of conflicting voices and opinions, how do we find what is real? Drawing from Jeremiah 9: 23-24, 1 John 4:1, and 2 Timothy 4:1-4, Pastor Tim explores what it truly means to know God and live out His truth. God is completely knowable, but knowing Him requires us to know and embrace the truth.

Every Christian must learn to discern. This sermon breaks down how we respond to truth claims and challenges us to test the spirits rather than relying on our feelings or chasing after myths.

📌 Key Takeaways

• God is Knowable: True fulfillment doesn't come from human wisdom, riches, or influence, but from truly knowing and understanding the Lord.
• Learn to Discern: We are called to test the things we hear to see if they truly come from God.
• The 3 Approaches to Truth: Which one are you?

1. Assuming what you hear is true, but verifying it.

2. Assuming what you hear is not true, but verifying it.

3. Assuming what you feel is true, but refusing to verify it.

• Stand Firm: Preach the Word, stay prepared, and anchor yourself in sound teaching, even when culture walks away from the truth.

📖 Scripture References

• Jeremiah 9: 23-24
• 1 John 4 :12
• Timothy 4:1-4

What does true freedom look like in the life of a believer? In this powerful message, Pastor Tim Ashley breaks down what it means to be "Free For ReaL" based on Galatians 5.  

Many times, we mistake freedom as the right to do whatever we want. But biblical freedom isn’t freedom from obedience—it is actually freedom for obedience. Christ has set us free from spiritual debt, religious performance, and meaningless living. The question is: how will we use that freedom? Will we use it to serve ourselves, or will we use it to serve one another humbly in love?  

As D.L. Moody once said, "Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at something that doesn't really matter." Join us as we learn how to keep in step with the Spirit and live out the highest calling of every believer—freely submitting to the will of God.  

** Key Scriptures: **

• Galatians 5:1 - "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free..."
• Galatians 5:13-26 - Living by the Spirit vs. the Flesh  
• 1 Peter 2:15-16 (NLT) - Using freedom responsibly, not as an excuse for evil  
• John 8:36 - "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

** Main Takeaways: **

1. Freedom is for Obedience: True freedom releases us to honor God, not an excuse for dishonesty, unfaithfulness, or irresponsibility.  

2. What Christ Frees Us From: He eliminates our spiritual debt, releases us from the trap of religious performance, and rescues us from a meaningless life.  

3. Blessing vs. Burden: Ultimately, your freedom releases you to be a blessing or a burden to those around you—and you get to decide.

What kind of story is your life telling? When we encounter the powerful reality of Jesus, it changes our narrative completely. In this message, Pastor Tim Ashley dives into Acts 4:1-22, exploring the boldness of Peter and John as they stood before the religious council.

Even when faced with opposition, their lives and words clearly pointed back to one ultimate truth: “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). Tune in as we challenge ourselves to live a story completely anchored in the power and name of Jesus Christ.

📌 Key Scripture Reference:

Acts 4:1-22 (NLT) – The boldness of Peter and John before the Temple guard and the council.

In this message, Pastor Tim Ashley dives into a crucial question for our everyday lives: "What’s Right In Front Of You?" Life moves in cycles, and as Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, "For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven." But how we handle the current season and the exact responsibilities God has placed right in front of us matters more than we think.

Pastor Tim unpacks a fundamental truth of spiritual maturity: How you handle something is how you’ll handle everything. Looking closely at Luke 16:10-12, we learn that faithfulness isn't qualified by the size of the assignment, but by the integrity of our stewardship. If we are trustworthy with the little things, God can trust us with the true riches of heaven.

Are you fully present and faithful with what God has given you today? Tune in to discover how stepping into your current assignment prepares you for your next season.

Unity On Purpose | Why a Divided World Needs a United Church

A divided world doesn’t need more conflict—it needs to see a united Church. In this message, we dive into Jesus’ high priestly prayer in John 17, where He prays a definitive prayer for His followers: “May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me.”

Unity isn't something that happens by accident; it requires an intentional shift in perspective. When we realize that our faith is no longer just about us, we stop letting foolish discussions, envy, and pride divide us. Instead, we align ourselves under one common banner:

🎯 ONE Agenda

📖 ONE Standard

⛪ ONE Church

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the division in the culture around you, this message is a timely reminder of what a healthy, Christ-centered community is supposed to look like. Satan fights our unity because he knows it reflects the very heart and intention of God. Let’s discover how we can lock arms and live United on Purpose.
