Be Hope Church

KEY POINTS - God is not a fan of “fans”. - In the Bible, God celebrates those that lived their faith on the field and not in the stands. - The one who chooses to live by faith experiences the greatest growth. - You need the HUDDLE. - We have confidence that regardless of what we see and feel, God is still winning.

KEY POINTS - We have to first receive the Word, then act on it. - Scripture is a reflection of our relationship with God. - God’s Word is a gift. - It only works if you put it to work. - RECEIVE THE SCRIPT: Determine your plan, place, and time. - RESPOND: Ask “God, what do you want from me?”

KEY POINTS - We want the development, but not the discipline. - Discipline is God’s plan. - Unwanted discipline leads to our desired transformation. - Your choices become your character. - The moment you deny yourself, you’re following Him.

Devotional:   Hello and welcome to another day of prayer and fasting! I pray that over the last couple of weeks you have been able to hear God speaking to you like never before and have seen where He is working throughout your life. The past 3 weeks have been focused around “First This, Then That.” This week we are honing in on “First Ask – Then Receive.”   The verse for today comes from Matthew 6...

Devotional: This week we’re talking about faith that first asks and then receives. Today we’re going to look at a story from Jesus’ life found in Mark 11. The story that we’ll be looking at today follows Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and takes place right before and after Jesus chases corruption out of the temple. Among these accounts is a lesser-known part, and a somewhat odd story....

Be Hope Church, it’s prayer and fasting season and I hope you have been seeking the Lord and opening your heart to what He wants for you. We currently have been in this series of “First This, Then That,” acknowledging the steps we can take in order to receive the goodness that God has for each of us. This week, we are focusing on the topic of “First Ask, Then Receive.”   Today we are going to dive...

Devotional:   Welcome to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! Throughout these 21 days, we’ve been looking at times in our faith that we had to do something (“First This”) before stepping into the next thing (“Then That”). This week, we’re talking about “First Ask, Then Receive”.    In Matthew 6:33 it says “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you...

Devotional:   Hello and welcome to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! I hope you have been encouraged and continue to be courageous in what God has been calling you into in this new year. Our theme during this month has been, "First This, Then That." We have been looking at what needs to be first in our lives before we see what is next. Today, we are looking at Mark 11 where Jesus curse...

KEY POINTS - Sometimes, God gives us what we ask for. But sometimes, He doesn’t answer the way we want Him to. - Prayer is an expression of our belief. - Believe that you have already received it. - When we seek God’s will above our own, we experience Heaven here on Earth. - Ask. Seek. Knock.

Devotional: Welcome to Day 12 of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. I am thankful that we get to be together today while we support each other and grow in our faith with God. Today as we continue to read through Joshua 3, we are reminded to first take a step. In other words, take that courageous action and then learn to trust. In Joshua 3:5 it says, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will d...

Devotional: Hello and welcome to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! We are continuing our “First This, Then That” series, and this week we are focusing on “First take a step, Then learn to trust.”  Have you ever had to take a leap of faith or make a decision that didn’t make sense in the natural but felt like God was leading you in a direction you couldn’t quite explain? I have been the...

Devotional: Welcome to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! This week we are looking at the idea that we should first take a step, then learn to trust. We see stories in the Bible where people have to step into something without fully knowing what they are stepping into and what’s going to happen once they do it. In Joshua 3, as Joshua and the Israelites were getting ready to cross the Jo...

Devotional: Welcome to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! We are in Joshua 3 this week, and something I really love about Joshua is that he is such a strong leader. He was always listening to God and then obeying Him. He had a level of trust in God that was particularly unique. I suspect a good reason for that was because he had walked with Moses. Joshua got to be the right-hand man to...

Devotional: Welcome back to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! Not only do I hope you have enjoyed it so far, I hope God has been able to speak directly to you throughout this fast. Today, for our devotional, we're going to talk about the idea that first we have to take a step, and then we are able to trust God. In the story that we're going to be looking at today, Joshua 3, as Joshua i...

KEY POINTS - Your priorities matter. - Scripture is not just advice – it’s a command. - Our faith isn’t meant to be comfortable. - God goes before our step of obedience.

Devotional: Hey Be Hope Family! Welcome to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. This week we have been talking about putting God first and setting our priorities with him. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” When we seek after his kingdom first, in everything we do, God provides us with everything we nee...

Devotional:   Welcome to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! I want to take a few minutes to share something that’s been on my heart lately. You know, we all have this incredible calling from God. He invites us to step into His purpose, to use the unique gifts He’s given us – not because we’re perfect, but because of His amazing grace.   This calling, though, comes with priorities. It’s...

Devotional:   First God, Then… Recovery!   In James 4:13-15, it says, “Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we wi...

Devotional:   Hello and welcome to day 2 of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! This week we are going through the idea of “First God, Then…” fill in the blank. We need to seek God FIRST, and then we take steps forward from that. God is speaking to each and every one of us and has created a unique calling on our lives.   I love what it says in Romans 12:6-8, “We have different gifts, according to the g...

Devotional: Welcome to 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! This season we are in the series, “First This, Then That.” So today, on Day 1, we will start with “First God, then…,” and then we get to fill in the blank. What has God done in our lives? What has God done in your life? Romans 12:1-2 says, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sac...

KEY POINTS - We can’t fit God in because we’re too busy fitting in. - First God’s will, then you will. - You can live or your can limit. - The quality of our God-designed life is limited by our underlying motives. - People who make God first are highly focused on what God can get FROM them, not what He has FOR them.

Join us as we look back on how God has moved in 2024! We move forward, Be Hope.
