Awakening Community

Worshiping Together

February 26, 2017 • Jonathan Kopecky

While Christians all over the world worship God in different ways, the one thing we have in common is Paul's encouragement to "sing and make music in your heart to the Lord". Paul doesn't mean music in and of itself, but rather a spontaneous worship that comes from deep within our hearts out of the joy of knowing Jesus.

Doing Life Together

February 19, 2017 • Peter Mueller

One of the most amazing things about the Church is that the miracle that the Holy Spirit brings people from diverse backgrounds and different walks of life together as a community and family. Living in that family can sometimes be difficult and challenging; thriving in it requires personal humility and faith that God knows what He's doing!

Spiritual Friendship: Part 1

February 5, 2017 • Peter Mueller

As we seek to awaken community at Hope, part of that is going deeper in our friendships with other followers of Jesus. While FaceBook may tell us that we each have hundreds of "friends", God longs for us to learn how to experience life-giving, deep, "spiritual" friendship. Today's message explores what we can learn from the friendships of Jesus and Paul for our own lives.

While community takes many shapes and sizes, meeting regularly with a small group of 8-12 other followers of Jesus to study the Bible, pray, and challenge and encourage each other is one of the most effective ways for you to grow in your faith.

You+Me+Them=US

Today's message continues our series on our core value of "Awakening Community". Today we look at how Jesus sent out a large group of 72 followers to work in his kingdom and how he unites you and me and others to become the one people of God. We are gathered together to know, love and care for each other as we go out on mission with Jesus.

Awakening Community with God

January 15, 2017 • Peter Mueller

Today's message kicks off a new series on one of our core values: “Awakening Community”. We begin by looking at how our design for community with each other begins in the need for community between and us and God. Jesus modeled the pursuit of such community with His father and there is much for us to learn from His example.
