The second week of our new series, The Journey: Lessons from the Life of Abraham at Hope Community Church on Nov. 4/5, 2017 with Donnie Peters. Obstacles and opposition are opportunities for obedience.  Obedience always leads to growth.

The first week of our new series, The Journey: Lessons from the Life of Abraham at Hope Community Church on October 28/29, 2017 with Mike Lee. Four things we can learn from Abraham's life of faith: We need to hold everything loosely. We need to see the goodness of God. We built altars. We acknowledge our brokenness.  God's great longing is to bless the world, all the people and all the families of the earth. One of the reasons Abraham is able to trust God for the journey is because he's convinced that God is a God of blessing. God is looking for people who are honest about where they are and willing to start from that point on the journey.  Life's major pursuit isn't the journey to knowing one's self - it's the journey to knowing God. You'll never really begin the process of coming to know yourself until you begin the journey of coming to know God.

The sixth week in the Taking Flight series at Hope Community Church on October 15/16, 2017 with Mike Lee. Gravity. It pulls us down, keeping us tethered to the earth. It’s a law of nature, one that we are forced to understand and accept from the beginning. But our souls long to fly. To soar. To overcome. In our new series, Taking Flight, discover how our lives can be changed for the better when we lean into the spiritual laws God has placed into motion.

Week five of our current series Taking Flight with Pastor Donnie Peters on Oct. 8, 2017. Accountability causes you to choose between your cravings and your character.

Week four of our current series Taking Flight with Pastor Mike Lee on Oct. 1, 2017. God's goal is for our lives to be brought into alignment with the image and character of Jesus. Our beliefs shape our attitudes and our actions. Three things that will help you identify the lies you believe: Examine the excuses you tell yourself to justify the wrong behavior.  Examine the areas in your life where you tend to over react. Examine the temptations to which you are most susceptible.   The truth sets us free from sin, lies enslave us to sin.

God is at work in you and His goal is to renew you. The kind of change God wants to bring about in your life doesn’t happen through self-will and determination. If our lives are going to change and remain that way, we must be involved in the process of renewing our minds. Renewal doesn’t begin with the rededication of our will – it begins with the renewal of our minds. Renewal breaks down our resistance to God’s rule in our lives and it allows God to have greater influence over our wills. A renewed mind results in a transformed life.
