Hope Fellowship

Week 1 - The Kingdom

November 3, 2024 • John McKinzie

In this message, we discuss how the kingdom of God that Jesus taught us about is an "upside down" kingdom that is not of this world. It presents the kingdom as an invitation to start over and be "born again," living a different way from the values and priorities of this world, focusing on goodness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit rather than worldly desires and power.

Week 3 - Upside Down Generosity

November 10, 2024

In this message, Pastor John teaches about how generosity is a fundamental aspect of Christian living that often goes against our natural human tendencies. He explains that generosity is important for three main reasons: it guards our hearts from materialism, it helps people in need, and it makes the Great Commission possible. He emphasizes that in the New Testament, giving should come from a cheerful heart and a place of "want to" rather than "have to."

Week 2 - Blessed When Poor

November 10, 2024 • Eric Sebastian

In this message, Pastor Eric emphasizes that true happiness comes from recognizing our spiritual poverty and complete dependence on God, not from our circumstances or possessions. We are encouraged to embrace our need for God daily and to put Jesus' teachings into practice, as this is the foundation for experiencing the abundant life He offers.
