Hope Fellowship Teaching Podcast

We kick off the new year with a message from our Executive Pastor, Angela Linz, talking about the goodness of God. 

By mid-December, too many already hate Christmas. We are tired of the carols, the parties, the decorations, and our tree is already starting to die. There are a lot of reasons that people hate Christmas. But what if all of the hatred is because what we hoped for wasn’t reality? This year, set aside the hate and come expecting something new this Christmas as we dive into Advent themes of the season...

The Bible seems to mention the overwhelming power of two things in our lives: money and words. What does it mean for money to have the power over us? Is it actually possible to serve money instead of God? The Bible says that the tongue has the power of life and death. Is that actually true? In “The Power of _____,” we tackle the power of money and our words.

For a man with so much hope for the future, Joseph spent a good part of his life rejected, abandoned, and imprisoned. How did he endure the abuse, betrayal, disappointment, and injustice in his life? This four-part series looks at how Joseph's choices helped him overcome every obstacle life threw at him. 

With a population of 7.5 billion worldwide, people are everywhere! And yet, according to a recent AP Report, “Americans, who have become less engaged with worship houses, community organizations, and even their own family members in recent decades, have steadily reported an increase in feelings of loneliness.” Isolation and individualism are rising while vulnerability and accountability are becomi...

The book of Psalms is a collection of songs by human writers who poured out their hearts - and their emotions - into expressing their joy, pain, and praise. In “Psalms of Summer,” we explore 8 Psalms to learn and be challenged by the author’s pursuit of God, despite the possible hardships of life.

Truly forgiving someone meaningfully is one of the hardest things to do. But in the absence of forgiveness, resentment builds up, and vengeance can consume us. How do we move past transgression and into forgiveness? In this two-week series, we will discuss why it is so important to forgive and how to do it.

As we celebrate Mother's Day, we also reflect on the trials and challenges we face and the beauty that can be found amidst them.

In this series, we will examine the book of John by taking a closer look at the story of Jesus through the eyes of the many characters in this book - characters who are ordinary people like you and me, purposefully chosen and used by God.

The Advent Season is a time of reflection as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus! This year at Hope, we’ll also have weekly artwork that helps us immerse ourselves into the Bethlehem story. The Art of Christmas is all about remembering that God’s peace, hope, joy, and salvation are the most beautiful gifts of all.

Generosity is not just about money, or giving of our time or talents. Generosity is about the condition of our hearts. While we don’t always see the impact, we can be sure of this - God is at work in every act of kindness, in every meal that is served, in every gift that is given. In this series, we will discover that the genius of generosity is that it doesn’t add up - it multiplies.

This is a two week series for imperfect Christians. Have you ever felt like you were riding the "spiritual struggle bus"? Feelings of spiritual inadequacy can make us fearful of God, but not in the healthy way. This series explores how knowing the loving, gracious God of Scripture can overcome our constant feelings of guilt and imperfection. "Messy Spirituality" examines the realities of or human...

This week Pastor Robert joins us as we continue our journey through the Book of Hebrews.

In today's message, Online Campus Pastor, Mary Solis, joins us as we continue our journey through the book of Hebrews.

The Bible is full of stories, songs, wisdom and teaching on how to love God and love people. The problem is, even for those of us who grew up in church, it can sometimes be difficult to understand what it says and how to apply it. In this year’s Summer Series, we will spend time learning tools for how to study the Bible, and then we’ll put it into practice by working through the book of Hebrews.

When reading the New Testament, we are reminded of Jesus’ promise to send us a helper after Himself. When things get tough, we naturally search for help. But are we looking for help in the right places? As believers, who are we looking to for help? Are we looking to friends or family? Or are we looking to The Holy Spirit - our ultimate Helper, sent as a gift to us by Jesus? In this three part seri...

One thing is for sure: Jesus gets quoted a lot. Whether it's a scripture verse you heard in a sermon somewhere, or maybe even something a friend said in a conversation, you’ve probably heard His name and his words discussed. When Jesus showed up on the scene in Galilee at the beginning of His ministry, He made an impression by taking the existing teaching of the Bible, and many times, turning it u...

Famed psychologist David Benner says: “The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies, but that we live them.” When we let the lies in, they wreak havoc to our souls and sabotage our peace. But how do we fight deceptive ideas that lead to disordered desires? Jesus, on the other hand, says that, “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” We have to know the difference between our voi...

Sometimes it can be so easy to walk through life discouraged and feeling alone. Even with the best intentions and resolutions, we often find ourselves back to old patterns and habits when we try to change. Sometimes what we need most is a word of encouragement to simply keep going. It’s almost like someone throwing a life preserver to us just when we feel like we’re drowning. Maybe we just need a...

During this time of year, people all over the world turn on their favorite Christmas movies as a way to enjoy the season. Christmas movies are nostalgic, funny, and they remind us, through our favorite characters, that Christmas is so much more than decorations and presents under the tree. This year at Hope, we will go on a journey through Advent, but with an all new twist! Join us for Christmas a...

Many of the church traditions we hold today have been around for over 2,000 years. What do we really know about the origins and theology of the Apostle’s Creed, baptism, communion, penance and ancient prayers? Should we continue in these traditions, or let them remain in the past?
