This week one of Hope’s Elders Rob Cupp continues our new series with the sermon Why the Bible is Essential based on 2 Timothy 3:10-17.
The most important foundation of being a follower of Jesus is abiding in Him. But, there are so may questions about it. What is abiding? How do I do it? Understanding how to abide in Christ is a key that unlocks the rest of the Christian Life, yet it is often missed or overlooked. But, Jesus keeps inviting us to abide because it is His favorite type of relationship to have with us. Join us as we start a new series and focus on building your foundation of following Christ.
How shall we endure suffering? Suffering is not a space that anyone is very comfortable with, however, the Apostle Peter shares how to exist in suffering while following the beautiful way of Jesus. As Peter writes to those he has concern for, he unveils a simple path of truths that we must make decisions to follow. When we do, we will continue to be blessed by our Father who is in Heaven.
As those who have tasted that the Lord is good, how should we respond when we are being accused, persecuted, hurt or despised? The difficult answer is to bless those who are doing evil to you! The apostle Peter shares from a life of following Jesus how to do this in 1 Peter 3. Having the gentle kindness of Jesus as his guide, Peter points us to a way of responding to evil that breaks the endless cycle of hurting those who hurt you.
The Christmas Holiday is full of many traditions, emotions, memories and gifts, which make it “the most wonderful time of the year.” All of this celebration is fitting because we are celebrating the greatest news to ever be uttered at anytime on this planet. The angel who originally announced this great message described it as “good news of great joy that will be for all people.” Why is the gift of Jesus to cause such great joy? Do we live in the joy we were meant to have? What are the implications of this joy for each of our lives? Join us as we explore the great joy of this Christmas Season!
The Future is something we don’t control. For some it is something to look forward to. For others it is something to fear. As disciples of Jesus we have a future to be hopeful and excited about – Heaven! But, we are not there yet. How can we live well now with our heavenly future in mind? This week complete’s our series, The Relevance of Christ.
