Hope Christian Fellowship

On Easter we saw that we all have problems (or are a problem) too big to solve on our own. The world needs Jesus and as individuals we need Him too. Easter weekend reminds us that Jesus is our solution and went to great lengths to do so. But what now? We have received forgiveness; how does this change us? For many, we accept the fact that our eternal destiny is a problem too big to solve. But then...

Wednesday Night Bible Study – Ephesians 5 : 18

Unfortunately, technical difficulties left us without the original audio from our Q&A following the service on 4/11/2021. Pastors Dave and Dan got together to re-record and to give a sense of what the two of them, along with Mark, discussed at the original meeting. Please participate with us by adding your questions this Sunday at swiftpolling.com and using the event code: 24424 and/or joining...

Navigating life seems so much simpler when you do it alone. There’s no one to consult or ask permission. There are no other opinions to consider. You can make decisions for a single set of viewpoints and desires. However, being alone is not good. God even says this at the beginning of man’s history: It is not good for man to be alone. One way this truth gets reflected in God’s kingdom is that we p...

Wednesday Night Bible Study

Easter is one of our biggest and most exciting celebrations of the year. For believers, we turn our minds back to the events of this weekend about 2000 years ago and reflect on the love Jesus lived through the cross. We think about how the grave could not hold Him, but that after He gave all for us, He rose from the grave. This is the good news. It is personal and has changed our lives – both now...

Wednesday Night Bible Study – Wake Up

Being overweight brings all kinds of negative physical consequences and vulnerabilities. In addition to heart disease and diabetes risks, it brings increased risk for depression, sleep apnea, certain cancers, and even migraines. Carrying extra weight affects our body functions. Complaining really does the same thing emotionally and spiritually. We carry extra weight in our souls and then reap all...

Wednesday Night Bible Study

Have you ever wondered why other people can give testimonies about seeing God’s work? You listen to how clearly God showed His hand in their situation or their life and you wonder what’s different for you. Maybe you’re just missing what God’s doing. Or maybe God just isn’t working in your life. Today we’re going to see how God used Moses to show His people His work. There are different strategies...

Wednesday Night Bible Study – Light and Dark

We are supposed to love church so much that we invite others to come. While many feel a sense of duty or guilt, true believers understand the power of God to redeem and heal. We reflect God’s heart by inviting anyone who will listen to join us in this amazing work of God. We don’t feel like we’re losing anything to share this with others; the riches of God’s goodness never run out. Just like a can...

Wednesday Night Bible Study

Over the past year, being together has been more difficult and rare. Some of the social connecting that we took for granted was taken away. The introverts among us rejoiced. The cautious among us were grateful. And the extroverts counted the days until we could be together again. But we probably didn’t talk enough about the need to be together. God’s people are never called to choose isolation or...

Wednesday Night Bible Study

We’re going to take a big chapter jump forward in our study of Israel’s story. The Israelites have been at the base of Mount Sinai for most of the book of Exodus, all of Leviticus, and the first part of Numbers. Now they are getting ready to move. And as they prepare, Moses notes how they are learning to follow God. It is a step by step discipline. Not running ahead and not dragging behind, but ra...

Wednesday Night Bible Study

If you were to move from one region of the country to another, you would probably notice a difference in the accent of those in your new location from what you’re used to hearing. At first, it would be quite obvious, but over time, you’d get used to it. In fact, if you live in another place long enough, you would probably start to adopt the accent of your new home for yourself. Being around these...

Wednesday Night Bible Study

When you leave this house, you represent this family!” Have you ever been told this or maybe told one of your kids this? The obvious implication is that your behavior reflects on what kind of family you come from. This is the same idea behind Paul calling Christians, Ambassadors of Christ. As he says elsewhere, our citizenship is in heaven. God is making his appeal to the world through us. Whereve...
