Today was a sweet time of honoring the ministry and legacy of Hope Chapel over the last 30 years. It was great to hug the necks of so many old friends and Hope Chapel family. Founding Pastor Bill Gross shared a word from Nehemiah about the importance of humility and dependence on the Lord and sent us off with a blessing into our new season as Arise Church!

The Way to Increase
February 19, 2023 • Pastor Ty Austin
God called Isaac to a specific land. He promised Isaac if he would dwell there, God would be with him and bless him. Isaac believed God, sowed in that land and reaped a hundredfold. Isaac could have sewed the same seed in a different land and not seen the same blessing due to being in the wrong place. What land has God called you to? Are you dwelling there? In what ways has God asked you to sew into that land? Isaiah 60:1-5 Genesis 26:1-24 Joshua 1:8-9
The Way of Decrease
February 12, 2023 • Pastor Ty Austin
While watching John the Baptist ministering for God in the wilderness, the crowd began to wonder if he was someone important, perhaps even the Messiah. But anytime attention was given, he was quick to deflect it to Jesus, the One he preached about and the true Messiah. John understood a great Kingdom principle: God must increase, but we must decrease. Isaiah 60:1-5 Luke 3:1-6, 15-17 John 3:22-30 2 Samuel 6:12-23
Arise Mighty Ones
February 5, 2023 • Pastor Ty Austin
Gideon's clan was the weakest in town and he was the smallest of his family, but God chose him as the one to bring deliverance. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 reminds us that God often chooses the weak things of the world to shame the mighty, so that no flesh would glory in His presence. So be encouraged - the very deficit you think disqualifies you is actually what makes you the perfect candidate to be used mightily by God. Isaiah 60:1-3 Judges 6:1, 11-16 1 Corinthians 1:26-29
