Ep 582What's The Problem | Clay Burgess

We face a BIG problem, and worst of all, we can't do anything on our own to fix it. However, there's good news! God did something to fix it, and He has shown us what we can do to receive the gift He gives us to overcome that problem.Weekly Verse:"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."1 John 1:8-10#FoundationsOfTheFaith #WhatsTheProblem #ImageOfGod-------Want to receive more news Haiti and about our global partners?

Starter What is a nickname you had as a kid? How did you feel about it? Discuss How can we pray for you and/or your family? Spend some time praying together before you start your Scripture discussion. Scripture Read Genesis 1 and discuss: What is the most striking thing to you about the description of creation in Genesis 1? What does this passage tell you about your identity? Why do you think that is significant? In your own words, what does it mean to be created in the image of God? What other places have you looked to find your identity or value other than God? Assign each of the following verses to different people in your group to read out loud together. Have everyone listen for a truth about their identity that is most significant to them in this season of their life. Isaiah 43:1, Psalm 139:13-14, Deuteronomy 7:6, Romans 5:7-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Galatians 5:1 Which of these verses is most significant to you in this season of your life? Why? Apply Before you close your group, break up into groups of 2-3 to share and pray together about the following questions. How do you need to embrace the truth of what God says about you? What is a lie about yourself you need to let go of to believe what God says? Spend time praying together as the Holy Spirit leads to build your lives on the truth of God’s Word and what He says about you.

Ep 576Grief to Glory | Duane Calvin

Our current grief has no comparison to our future glory. While we may not always see Jesus in our grief, He is with us if we just look for Him. In week two, Duane Calvin shares about the ghost of grief. Message Notes: Jesus shows up in our grief.The ghost of grief is one that shows up in just about every area of our lives. John 20:11-14 (NIV)Looking for Jesus in our grieving means that even in the midst of our loss we look for Him to show us the way to hope. Followers of Christ never grieve alone. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 (NIV)Psalms 34:18 (NIV)Romans 8:38-39 (NIV)Matthew 28 (NIV)As Christians we grieve differently because we know Christ, and it means that we never have to grieve alone. John 20:15-16 (NIV)Jesus comforts us in our grief. Our current grief has no comparison to our future glory. John 20:17-18 (NIV)Allow yourself to grieve and, in your grieving, look for Jesus. Remember that you should never grieve alone, and you don’t have to allow the ghost of grief to dictate your current condition. --- If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/ If you’d like to view our message notes, click here: https://gethope.net/message-notes/ If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/next/ If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond here: https://bit.ly/3aWvIZN To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/ Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxq Stay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurchHope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurch

Ep 568Gracious God: Finding Healing from Shame | Chase Gardner

This Is Our God: Week 2Chase GardnerDescription: It’s not that hard to believe that God could love us when we’re at our best, but how could He possibly love us when we’re at our worst? In week two of the series, Chase Gardner uses the story of the Samaritan woman at the well to show how Jesus goes out of His way to meet us in our shame. Message Notes:God is gracious and we don’t need to prove ourselves. John 4:3 (ESV) Jews and Samaritans saw each other as unworthy of dignity or respect. Jesus intentionally goes to Samaria. John 4:7a (ESV) - The Samaritan woman goes to the well at a time when she knows no one will be around. John 4:7b (ESV) - Jesus speaking to this woman would have been seen as scandalous. John 4:9 (ESV) – Jesus isn’t worried about what people are thinking; He just cares about this woman. John 4:10-14 (ESV) – Jesus is talking about her spiritual thirst. John 4:15-17 (ESV) – People often misinterpret that this woman is an adulterer. What if the problem Jesus was trying to fix was actually shame? Jesus is breaking every social rule to meet this woman at the epicenter of her shame. At our worst, Jesus still wants to draw near. John 4:19-26 (ESV) Jesus is the answer to receiving the forgiveness, acceptance, transformation, redemption, and unfathomable grace that you have to experience to truly believe. John 4:27-29 (ESV) The woman leaves her shame and runs to the people who have harmed her because they have no power over her anymore. Not only did God freely forgive her and love her, but He used the rest of her life in a powerful way.

Ep 567Great God: Finding a better perspective | Chase Gardner

This Is Our God: Week OneChase Gardner - Teaching Pastor - Hope Community ChurchDescription:If God is great, what does that mean for us? In week one, Chase Gardner shares just how "great" the God of the Bible is and why that changes everything.Message Notes:God is great. “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” – A. W. TozerThe things that you most want to change about your life are probably rooted in lies that you believe about God.Romans 12:2a (ESV) Transformation comes through the mind.Judges 6:1-6 (ESV) Israel begins to believe a lie about God that He is not great and in control.Your prayer life will reveal how great you believe God is.“I’m increasingly persuaded that there are only two ways of living: 1) trusting God and living in submission to his will and his rule, or 2) trying to be God. There’s little in between.” – Paul TrippGod teaches Israel that they make lousy gods.Judges 6:1, 6a (ESV)God first humbles them, but He’s still with them regardless of the circumstances.Judges 6:11 (ESV)Judges 6:12-13 (ESV)God is who He says He is no matter the circumstances.Judges 6:14-16 (ESV)After God humbles us, He will usually weaken us.The army was too big for God to show Israel that He was in control and had the power to save them.Judges 7:2-3 (ESV)Judges 7:4a (ESV)Judges 7:7-8 (ESV)If dependence is the goal, then weakness is an advantage.2 Corinthians 12:9b (ESV)In the end, God shows Israel that He is great, and He is in control.

Message Notes:Christmas is a special time of year for most of us with people typically showing more love and kindness than in other seasons. Wouldn’t it be nice to carry the same heart and compassion throughout the rest of the year? What is Christmas supposed to be about, and how do we get back to the true meaning of Christmas? Most people reduce Christmas down to two areas:1. Shopping for the perfect gift2. The general sense of busynessIs this all there is to Christmas? Christmas is supposed to be more than another Holiday. It’s supposed to be a Holy day dedicated to God. Jesus was sent by God to bring the peace that only He could bring to His people. Are you right now experiencing that kind of peace? How do we get back to what Christmas is supposed to be? We need to turn the Christmas experience back into the Holy day it was meant to be.Luke 2:1-20 (NIV)1. Seek Jesus.“Jesus, He ain’t hard to find.”Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)2. They shared the Good News about Jesus. Luke 2:17 (NIV)How many times have you said the name of Jesus?Who have you shared Jesus with lately?3. They took Jesus with them.Luke 2:20 (NIV)“Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.” - Steve Maraboli—Helpful Links:If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, check out: https://gethope.net/next/ For Beyond Christmas initiatives, visit https://gethope.net/beyond Give to support Hope's ministries at https://gethope.net/give If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/ Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxq Stay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurch Hope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurchSubscribe to Our Podcast - Hope In Real Life YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeInRealLifeHope In Real Life Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4

Ep 564Looking Back, Looking Forward (2023) - Jason Gore

Jesus saw people in their helplessness and confusion, and He had compassion. What would it look like for us to fully receive that compassion and allow it to fuel our mission? Lead Pastor Jason Gore looks back on 2023 and forward to what’s in store for 2024.--Every year at Hope, we take a moment to look back through the past year and highlight what we’ve experienced and accomplished. We also paint a vision for what the next year will be like for us as a church. What has the last year looked like for us at Hope, and what are we looking forward to in this next year? Near the end of the year, we do three things: 1. Celebrate what God has done through this church family 2. Evaluate where we are as a church family 3. Look ahead to what God has for us in the coming yearMatthew 9:35 (NLT)Jesus was with the people.Matthew 9:36 (NLT)Jesus had compassion on the people.Our God is a God of compassion.Matthew 9:37-38 (NLT)Jesus told them to pray. Pray for more workers.Matthew 10:1, 5a, 7-8 (NLT)Jesus made His disciples the answer to the prayer He told them to pray. Jesus sends those who understand His compassion to go to the ones who need compassion.Two things we need to learn from this passage: 1. Jesus has compassion for us in our brokenness. 2. We are led to show that compassion to the world around us.Compassion fuels the mission.Compassion should move us to prayer, and that prayer should lead to action.Who We Are – Our mission as a church is to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.Strengthen families by investing in marriage, parenting and youth.Equip and empower our church to be missionaries in everyday life.Meet the needs of our community before they come to us.

Ep 561Is Marriage Still Important? | Ben Foote

Start to Finish Week 1 - Is Marriage Still Important? Ben Foote (Teaching Pastor - Flatirons Community Church)Description:These days it's easy to wonder if marriage still is (or ever was) all that important. In week one of the series, Ben Foote (Teaching Pastor of Flatirons Community Church) takes a look at what Jesus has to say about marriage and brings back the why for those of us who may have forgotten.—Message Notes: Life is not a sprint. We need to focus on living a godly life From Start to Finish. Christianity helps us for the long haul in youth, singleness, marriage, parenting and aging. Why is marriage so important? Jesus directly addresses marriage and divorce.Matthew 19:1-2 (NIV)Matthew 19:3 (NIV)In Jesus’ time, there were basically two sides of the divorce debate. 1. God only allows divorce in the case of infidelity. 2. God allows divorce for any and every reason.The culture in Jesus’ time sounded something like this about marriage:Marriage is a contract that can be easily broken whenever men don’t feel served or pleased by it anymore.Jesus responds to the Pharisees trying to trap Him on the issue of divorce.Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV)Jesus’ answer points to two different Scriptures on why marriage is important.Genesis 1:27 (ESV)Genesis 2:24 (BSB)God unites the man and woman into ONE FLESH, one spiritually inseparable unit, to reflect God’s goodness to the world around us.Why is marriage so important? Jesus says marriage is NOT a contract but a COVENANT.Covenant: A spiritually-binding oath between God and His people.The common view of marriage in Jesus time:Marriage is a contract that can be easily broken whenever men don’t feel served or pleased by it anymore.Jesus’ view of marriage:Marriage is a covenant that cannot be broken without doing a lot of damage because marriage is a covenant designed to show the world what God looks like.Marriage is uniquely designed to show the world what God’s never-ending, never-quitting love and commitment look like.Married people should be able to swap their names for the end of the verse in Romans 8:38-39.“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate (name) from the love of (spouse’s name).”Marriage is designed to show the world what God’s never-ending, never-quitting love and commitment look like. —Helpful Links:For family resources, visit https://gethope.net/familyministry/#resources If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/next/If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/Subscribe to Family Conversations for weekly prompts and resources: https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnePageReg/2451To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxqStay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurch Hope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurchSubscribe to Our Podcast - Hope In Real Life YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeInRealLifeHope In Real Life Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4

Ep 560Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

Deconstruction Week 4 - Why Did Jesus Have to Die? Léonce Crump (Senior Pastor of Renovation Church)Description:We all have questions about God and the Bible, but beneath all of them lies one crucial tension: Why did Jesus have to die? Once we have the answer, all the other doubts cease to be hurdles between us and Jesus. In the fourth and final week of Deconstruction, Léonce Crump (Senior Pastor of Renovation Church) tackles this fundamental question.—Message Notes: The Son of God loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23Whoever sins is a slave of sin. John 8:34You, therefore, have no excuse when you pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself because you who pass judgment do the same things. Romans 2:1He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree…by his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24We all, like sheep, have gone astray, we have turned – every one – to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6God was in Christ, reconciling the world [that is, you and me] to himself. 2 Corinthians 5:19If the Son sets you free you are free indeed. John 8:36The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7C. S. Lewis pointed out, if God’s forgiven us and we refuse to forgive ourselves, it’s like "setting ourselves up as a higher tribunal than God." The Son of God loved me and gave himself for me.—Helpful Links:For additional series resources, go to https://gethope.net/deconstruction/#moreIf you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/next/If you’ve just made a decision to follow Christ, we’d love to connect with you here! https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnlineReg/2048If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/Subscribe to Family Conversations for weekly prompts and resources: https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnePageReg/2451To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxqStay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurch Hope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurchSubscribe to Our Podcast - Hope In Real Life YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeInRealLifeHope In Real Life Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4

Ep 559Is There Only One Way?

Deconstruction - Week 3Is There Only One Way?There’s something about the exclusive claims of Jesus—“I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life…”—that gets under people’s skin. For those of us who get hung up on the exclusivity of the Christian faith, Chase Gardner spends week 3 pointing to the radical inclusivity we may have overlooked.—Message Notes: How can Christianity be exclusive while also being about radical inclusion? After Peter and John heal a man lame from birth in the Name of Jesus Christ, they are confronted by religious leaders.Acts 4:1-3 (NLT)Acts 4:5-6 (NLT)Acts 4:7-22 (NLT)Christians preach about Jesus not because they are smarter or more intelligent but because they have to share how Jesus saved them.Acts 4:13 (NLT)Acts 4:20 (NLT)Being a Christian doesn't mean someone is morally better than anyone else. Acts 3:12 (NLT)Jesus taught us that, unlike every other religion in the world, there is no set of actions humans can do to reach God.There’s one solution (Jesus) because there’s one problem (sin) in this world.—Helpful Links:For additional series resources, go to https://gethope.net/deconstruction/#moreIf you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/next/If you’ve just made a decision to follow Christ, we’d love to connect with you here! https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnlineReg/2048If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/Subscribe to Family Conversations for weekly prompts and resources: https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnePageReg/2451To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxqStay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurchHope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurchSubscribe to Our Podcast - Hope In Real Life YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeInRealLifeHope In Real Life Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4

Ep 558Did God Really Say...?

DeconstructionWeek 2 - Did God Really Say…?The Bible is one of the first things people begin to doubt in the process of deconstruction. Did God really say…? Are certain parts of the Bible more true than others? Is it a God-breathed, God-inspired story or humanity’s best attempt at explaining God? Some even ask what Jesus thought or said about the Bible. In week 2, Chase Gardner helps tackle these questions and more.—Message NotesWhat does Jesus say about the Bible? Can we believe the Bible and base our lives on it? Orthodox View: The authors received more and more truths over time.Progressive View: What the authors wrote got truer and truer over time.What does Jesus say about the Bible?Luke 4:3-4 (NLT)Luke 4:5-8 (NLT)Luke 4:9-12 (NLT)Jesus used Scripture to counter Satan.Jesus thought the words of the Old Testament were vital, authoritative and coherent.A lot of what the Bible says is descriptive not prescriptive. (It describes how people lived, not necessarily saying we need to live that way ourselves.)Often, people use the Bible out of context to prove their points or justify their actions.Matthew 24:17 (KJV)“I must recognize that we essentially have human rights in our world because of Christianity. It is quite clear in this Christian reevaluation of the human person that the philosophy of human rights, of which we subscribe to today, would have never established itself.” - Luke Ferry (atheist author)If you want to root yourself in the teachings and traditions of Jesus, you should have a high view of the Bible as well.Jesus points out that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.Matthew 22:41-46 (NLT)The writers of the Bible are like the instruments of revelation.2 Peter 1:20-21 (NLT)2 Timothy 3:16a (NLT)Jesus did not come to end the laws of the Old Testament. He came to fulfill them.Matthew 5:17-19 (NLT)Jesus is saying that the entire Bible is purposeful. Jesus taught the Bible we have today is canon, actual books inspired by God.Luke 24:44 (NLT)Jesus considered His own words as Scripture:Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT)John 15:14 (NLT)John 12:49 (NLT)Matthew 28 (NLT)Jesus’ apostles and followers considered the New Testament as Scripture.2 Peter 3:15-16 (NLT)If the vital, authoritative, coherent, inspired, purposeful and countercultural canon of Scripture says it, Jesus tells us to believe it and obey it for God’s glory and our good.—Helpful LinksFor more series resources, visit https://gethope.net/deconstruction/#moreIf you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/Subscribe to Family Conversations for weekly prompts and resources: https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnePageReg/2451If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/next/To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxqStay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurchHope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurchSubscribe to Our PodcastHope In Real Life YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeInRealLifeHope In Real Life Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4

Ep 557Is It Okay To Doubt?

Deconstruction - Week 1Is It Okay To Doubt?Doubt is natural. We all question our faith at one time or another—but then what? Most of us need to take time to think hard, research, and go deep into God’s word to figure out what parts of our faith can and should be thrown away and what parts need to be added. In week 1 of the series, Chase Gardner teaches that the best way to handle a crisis of faith is not just to deconstruct, but to reconstruct on the foundation of Jesus.#deconstruction #doubt--Message NotesWhat does it mean to “deconstruct” your faith, and how can you help people come through it with a stronger foundation? Deconstruction is the process of questioning and dismantling historic Christian beliefs. Jesus wants us to inspect the foundation of our faith.Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT) Thomas had his doubts after seeing Jesus crucified on the cross.John 20:25b-28 (NLT) Paul had to leave behind his misconceptions about Jesus to have a new foundation that would transform his life and ministry.Galatians 1:13-18 (NLT) In America, many people have been brought up in a biblically naive and culturally influenced form of Christianity. The wise way to handle a crisis of faith is not just to deconstruct but to reconstruct on the foundation of Jesus. The foundation of Christianity is a man who lived, died, and rose from the grave named Jesus. Deceptive teachings that undermine our faith have been with us since the beginning of Christianity.Jude 1:3-4 (NLT)Jude 1:10-13 (NLT)Jude 1:17-18 (NLT)Jude 1:20-23 (NLT)--Helpful LinksGive to Hope Where You Are Campaign here: https://www.gethope.net/hwya/Subscribe to Family Conversations for weekly prompts and resources: https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnePageReg/2451Get connected with a small group: https://gethope.net/smallgroups/If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/next/If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond here: https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnlineReg/2048To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxqStay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurchHope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurchSubscribe to Our PodcastHope In Real Life YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeInRealLifeHope In Real Life Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4

Ep 556Are You All In?

How often do we actually talk to friends and neighbors about Jesus? If we have this eternal hope, why do we keep it to ourselves? In the final week of our series, Lead Pastor Jason Gore urges us to share willingly about the hope we have in Jesus.#sharewillingly #kingandakingdom #allin--Message Notes:What does it mean to willingly share the hope that we have in Jesus? What would you do if it depended on you? The Bible tells us to prepare for spiritual battle. Ephesians 6:11-12 (NLT) Take notice. Take a side. How do we live out God’s Kingdom? Live Obediently. Connect Intentionally. Serve Selflessly. Give Generously. Share Willingly the hope that we have in Jesus.

Ep 555Multiplying Generosity

Collectively we struggle with how to give generously. When money’s short, it’s hard to know if we should save every dime or live for today (because who knows what tomorrow will bring...) But giving in the Kingdom isn’t just out of abundance—giving comes from a place of sacrifice. In week 4, Duane Calvin shares how to live generous lives in light of a generous King.#generosity #kingandakingdom--Give to Hope Where You Are Campaign here: https://www.gethope.net/give/Subscribe to Family Conversations for weekly prompts and resources: https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnePageReg/2451Get connected with a small group: https://gethope.net/smallgroups/If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/If you’d like to view our message notes, click here: https://gethope.net/message-notes/If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/next/If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond here: https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnlineReg/2048To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxqStay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurchHope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurchSubscribe to Our PodcastHope In Real Life YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeInRealLifeHope In Real Life Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4

Ep 554Who Is The Real G.O.A.T?

How do you define greatness? So often we value the impressive over the impactful, but that’s not what made Jesus the G.O.A.T. In week 3 of the King & A Kingdom series, Ayren Nelson shares a radical perspective on greatness that makes us rethink what it means to serve and be served.#serve #kingandakingdom--Message Notes:What does it mean to be a true servant? In our culture, we often value the impressive over the impactful. Jesus invites us all into a Kingdom where anyone and everyone can be great, but the paradigm is different than what we might imagine. Matthew 20:20-21 (NLT) Matthew 20:22b (NLT) Matthew 20:18-19a (NLT) Jesus’ invitation to follow Him is an invitation to join Him in suffering for the sake of others.James and John as well as the other disciples want to be part of the imagined glory of the new Kingdom, never understanding the suffering it involves. Matthew 20:24 (NLT) Matthew 20:25b (NLT) Matthew 20:26-27 (NLT) Jesus is telling them that the way to become great is to SERVE. Am I a Servant? Jesus tells us how we are to serve. Matthew 6:1-4 (NLT) Selflessly Service to others is an act of worship to God. Matthew 25:34-40 (NLT) Serve everyone everywhere. Jesus models for us what it means to be a true servant.
