“Remember His Words”, comes from our Easter Sunday celebration—a powerful reminder of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. We began by reading Luke 24:1–11, where the women discover the empty tomb and hear those life-changing words: “He is not here; He has risen!” The core of the message? Jesus is alive, just as He said He would be.💡 Big Idea: We are forgetful people... but Easter calls us to remember. But today, we’re called back to Jesus' words, His mission, and His identity. His Disciples Forgot Too Even those closest to Jesus forgot or misunderstood His mission. Over three separate times in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus clearly predicted His death and resurrection. But each time, the disciples drifted back into their own concerns—arguing about greatness, misunderstanding his purpose, or just plain not asking questions. We shared three vital questions that every person must reckon with: 1. What do you think is the purpose of your life? 2. What do you believe happens when you die? 3. What do you believe about Jesus Christ? These aren’t just religious questions—they’re eternity-defining ones.✝️ Jesus IS Who He Says He IsJesus didn’t just predict His death and resurrection—He fulfilled those promises. Every claim Jesus made about Himself—Son of God, Good Shepherd, the Way, the Truth, the Life—came true. Jesus said in John 3:16–21 that belief is what saves us—but it also changes us. Real belief moves us into the light for all to see. It transforms not just our eternity, but our everyday So we ask again—what do you believe about Jesus? Key Takeaway: The resurrection is more than a story; it's a call to remember Jesus’ words, to believe in Him, and let that belief change our lives forever.🙏 Salvation Call: “Don’t just celebrate Easter—live in the power of the resurrection. Believe. Be changed. Remember His Words.” #HopeChurchPodcast #EasterRecap #HeIsRisen #RememberHisWords #HopeInJesus #TheResurrectionChangesEverything #FaithThatTransforms…
In this message we look at Jesus triumphal entry on Palm Sunday in Luke's gospel. What does Jesus life mean for us? How will we live in light of Jesus triumphal entry? Will we listen and trust him in Jesus? Will we critique him and how others worship him? Will we be just on-lookers but not participators? Three different perspectives 1. The Disciples 2. The Pharisees 3. The Crowd…
In this message, we talked about how as a church we need to "Run The Play" in sharing the gospel with the world around us. "God gives us the gospel, the power of the Spirit, and diving appointments - our role is to obey and run the play." Our Examples 1. Stephen speaking boldly 2. Peter breaking down barriers 3. Philip following a whisper 4. Paul and Silas praising in suffering All of these Jesus followers chose to run the play of the gospel and follow the Lord's call. Because of their bold choice, the gospel spread, people where saved and the world was never the same. It's our turn. Run the play.…
As we continue our sermon series, Peace of Mind we looked at the topic of burnout and how sometimes the most spiritual thing that you can do is REST. Be faithful with what you have and use the gifts that God has given you for his glory! How do we get to burnout? 1. We run ourselves into the ground 2. We try to do it all on our own 3. We dwell on the negative Look to Jesus and he will bring you into his rest!…

This is part two of our sermon series, Peace of mind. We are taking time to tackle hard topics that interrupt our peace. In this message, we will look at King Jehoshaphat and how he dealt with an fearful and anxious situation. He gives us some leadership on how we can deal with the anxiety of our day. Title: Divine Reliance 1. It's time to pray 2. It's time to pause 3. It's time to praise 4. It's time to rest…
This was Part One of our sermon series, Peace of Mind. We began by discussing the myths of mental health and exploring how God calls us to pursue a holistic approach to daily living. This pursuit is grounded in the greatest commandment: to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and strength. When we align our lives with this truth, we experience God's peace that surpasses understanding, guiding us toward spiritual, emotional, and mental wholeness.…
In this message, Pastor Jim concludes our sermon series on the book of Ruth, focusing on chapter four. We explore how Boaz exemplifies both character and action, not hesitating to redeem Ruth but stepping up immediately. Similarly, just as Boaz redeemed Ruth, our ultimate Redeemer, Jesus, has redeemed each of us.…
We continue our journey through the Book of Ruth, now exploring chapter three. In this passage, we see how Ruth courageously stepped out in faith, following Naomi's guidance to ask Boaz to fulfill his role as guardian-redeemer. Three keys to Bold Faith Faith Requires Trusting Without Seeing - Hebrews 11:1 Integrity and Bold Action Work Together - Ruth 3:10-11 Trusting the Outcome to God - Ruth 3:18…
This sermon, titled "As It Turned Out," explores the theme of finding God in hard work, drawn from Ruth 2:1-10. Through the story of Ruth, the sermon emphasizes how faithfulness in small, diligent actions can lead to divine opportunities and blessings. Remain diligent and faithful in the current season, trusting in God's provision.…
Resolve to Remain This sermon explores the book of Ruth, focusing on how we can find God in ordinary and difficult times. It emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful to God and others during hardships, using Naomi and Ruth's story as an example. The sermon encourages listeners to view their struggles as opportunities for growth and to impact others positively through their response to adversity. Key Points: The absence of God's leadership leads to moral and social chaos Isolation during hardship can lead to desperation and destructive decisions How we handle hardship can lead others to praise God Our pain can become a purpose for someone else's praise Even in our emptiness, God is at work and preparing to fill us…
2 Corinthians 2:14 (ESV) - "But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere." Assuming Everything Will Go Bad "Do you remember the Israelites in the wilderness? They saw God's faithfulness part the Red Sea, but the moment they faced giants in the Promised Land, they said, 'I knew it!' They immediately doubted and let fear dictate their future. Not anymore—I quit that mentality." "My God promised me a land of milk and honey, and if He said it, He will do it!" Fixating on What I Can't Control John 5:6 (ESV) - "When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, 'Do you want to be healed?'" "We fixate on what we can’t control instead of focusing on what we can. Jesus asked the man at the pool, 'Do you want to be well?'—because change starts with choosing to step away from what holds us back." "So, I quit trying to control what I can’t. Instead, I’ll take responsibility for what I can control and trust God with the rest." Letting My Hardships Define Me Esther 4:14 (ESV) - "And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" "Esther could have let fear or hardship define her, but she believed that her position was for God’s purpose. I won’t let my hardships define me anymore—I quit! I’m not a victim of my circumstances; I’ll be a victor in them." "If it got to me, it went through Him. Who knows but that I am here for such a time as this!" Focusing on Other People’s Lives Luke 15:31 (ESV) - "'And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.’" "Like the older brother in the story of the Prodigal Son, we can get so focused on what others have that we lose sight of what God has already given us. I quit comparing my life with others—I am always with my Father, and all He has is mine!" 7 Statements of Victory 1. I am in Christ—I am a new creation. 2. I am invincible within the will of God—I am victorious in Him. 3. I have a calling on my life—God has called me His. 4. I have a future—He knows the plans He has for me. 5. I have so much to be thankful for—Jesus is good. 6. Hardships make me stronger—James 1:2-4. 7. My reward is knowing Jesus…
This is a message from our sermon series Don't Drink The Poison. See the notes below! Proverbs 19:11 Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense Galatians 5:13 (NIV) “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.“ Matthew 11:2–6 (NKJV) And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” 3 Traps of Expectation 1. Unspoken Expectation 2. Unmet Expectation Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the Lordhates— no, seven things he detests: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, 18 a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, 19 a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family. 3. Unrealistic Expectation Process of Offense 1. Offense 2. Bitterness 3. Anger 4. Hate…
