Be Hope Church

"Your Progress Is Proof of God’s Faithfulness."

Key Points: • Don’t Forget Who You Are: Identity Matters. When identity is questioned—personally or corporately—we become defensive because identity shapes behavior. For the church, identity is expressed through culture, mission, vision, and values. If Be Hope forgets who it is, it will drift into who it is not. • Jesus Is Our Hope (Not Wishful Thinking). Hebrews 10:23 calls believers to hold unsw...

"My enough will never be enough, but I don't have to be enough - I just have to be faithful."

Key Points: • Christmas Is Often the Story We Didn’t See Coming. We expect Christmas to be picture-perfect, meaningful, and fulfilling—but reality often disappoints. Just like unmet expectations, disrupted plans, grief, or exhaustion, many of us arrive at Christmas carrying things we never anticipated. The “Christmas we didn’t see coming” mirrors the moments in life when we feel caught off guard a...

Key Points: • Some of the best things God does are hidden on purpose. Just like the best bread or hidden gems in life, God often works beneath the surface. What’s unseen isn’t absent—it’s intentional. • God’s promises may be hidden, but they are still valid. Mary kept God’s word in her heart, yet Elizabeth—through the Holy Spirit—validated it. Visibility is not the measure of truth; God’s authorit...

Key Points: • God’s greeting is personal and full of grace. God approaches us personally—not impersonally—and invites us to be seen, known, and welcomed. Belief is acknowledging who God is;  that He’s real, powerful, sovereign, and good. • God's favor is given, not earned. Mary had done nothing to earn favor. Favor is rooted in grace (charis), not achievement. It’s not a level-up, not a pass from...

KEY POINTS: • Belief is acknowledging who God is; that He’s real, powerful, sovereign, and good. • Faith is choosing trust even before the outcome changes. • We’re called to be faithful in the silence. • Doubt often comes when His timing, promises, or methods don’t match our expectations. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. When have you gone through a season that felt silent—where you weren’t sure what God...

KEY POINTS: • He honestly brings his needs to God, trusts Him, and asks for: God’s help and mercy, Joy and forgiveness, A heart that is undivided, fully centered on God. • Our hearts were originally whole and undivided (Genesis 1–2). Humanity was created to live in perfect relationship with God. • Distractions still divide our hearts today. Busyness, bitterness, apathy, comparison, unhealthy habit...

KEY POINTS: • Your faith isn't built on answered prayer, it is built on God's acceptance of your prayers. • Scripture calls us to persistence: “Faithful in prayer” “Keep asking” “Present your requests” • David roots his hope in one thing: God’s unfailing love. That’s why we keep praying, not to get God’s attention, but because we already have it. • You don't need an answer to your prayer, you need...

KEY POINTS: • Boldness comes from being with Jesus. • The Holy Spirit empowers bold proclamation. • The Holy Spirit creates unity in the church. • The Holy Spirit produces generosity among believers. • When the Holy Spirit comes to church, He brings boldness, unity, and generosity. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What stood out to you most from today’s message? 2. Was there something that challenged or e...

KEY POINTS: • Live differently. • Remain faithful to Kingdom living as Kingdom citizens. • Christ is the power of God, and the gospel is still the good news. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What stood out to you most from today’s message? 2. Was there something that challenged or encouraged you? 3. How do you think this message applies to your life right now?  4. What did you learn about who God is throu...

KEY POINTS · God chooses who He uses.  · God chooses the insignificant and the unseen.  · God chooses those who don't deserve it.  · God chooses according to His purpose, not your past.  · God chooses people who pass it on, never to be the recipient.  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1.  When you think about your own life, what surprises you most about the idea that God chose you — not because of what you’ve...

KEY POINTS · The shift is in you.  · The shift in you begins with God's presence.  · Faith shifts our level of generosity.  · Faith shifts our level of generosity, but generosity shifts our level of faith.  · Why am I Here? I can pray, I can hear, I can give, I can lead. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. When you think about your own life, where have you noticed a shift — a change in the way you see things,...

KEY POINTS · Faith ignites when we stop going back to the familiar and start fighting for the eternity of others. · Familiar doesn’t always mean healthy; sometimes it means comfortable but destructive. · Growth in faith requires letting go of old patterns, places, and people that once held us back. · Many people mistake the plateau for failure—but it’s actually a place of testing and deepening fai...

KEY POINTS: · When God does more than enough. · Giving ability starts with given ability.  · We pursue the hopeless.  · Why am I Here? I can pray, I can hear, I can give, I can lead.  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. When have you felt like what you had (your time, talent, or money) wasn’t enough—and how might God see it differently? 2. Exodus 31 says God “filled them with His Spirit” to do their work. Wh...

Hi Be Hope welcome to day 21 of Prayer and Fasting. My name is Bri and I get the privilege to serve on multiple hope teams. I hope over these last 20 days you have been able to see how God is providing in your life. Today we are going to be in Mark 12:40-44 “They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely. Jesus sat down opposite the place w...

Hello everyone, I'm Maddy, and today I get the honor of sharing a devotional with you! We have been talking about God's provision, so I'm going to be focusing on the life of Paul in Philippians chapter 4! In this chapter, Paul is under house arrest and awaiting trial, so he cannot provide for himself. Luckily, Paul had some help.  The Philippian people sent a few things. It was most likely money a...

Hey Be Hope! Welcome back to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. I really hope this time has been meaningful for you as we’ve journeyed together over the past couple of weeks. My name is Taylor, and I get to serve on the Production and Creative Team here at Be Hope. Today, I want to share from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, verses 9–13 — a passage many of us know well: The Lord’s Pray...

Hello, Be Hope! Welcome to another day of 21 days of prayer and fasting. Today's devotional is coming to you from the Book of Matthew, chapter 17, verses 24 through 27. In this story, Peter and Jesus arrive into town, where tax collectors shortly after approached Peter and questioned him and whether Jesus is going to pay his temple tax. Jesus then tells Peter to go down to the lake, cast in his li...

Welcome to 21 days of prayer and fasting. Today we are diving into Exodus 17:1-7. In this section, we find the Israelites are traveling through the wilderness in order to get to the place where God is leading them. But on the way, they begin to complain about how they are thirsty and don’t have enough to drink. So, they accuse Moses of leading them out of Egypt and into the dessert to die. And the...

KEY POINTS: Two things can be true at the same time. God calls us to obedience even when it doesn’t make sense. You can trust God and question Him at the same time. God brings life out of what feels like the end. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. Have you ever felt like two things were true at once—like believing in God but still feeling scared or uncertain? 2. What part of the widow’s story stands out to...

Hello, everyone. Welcome to 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. My name is Maggie Willis, and I have the privilege of being part of the kids department here at Be Hope church. So today we're going to be taking a look into Joseph's story and exploring the ways that God provided for him in the midst of chaos and betrayal. So to give some context, Joseph was only 17 years old when his life took a really d...

Be Hope church. It's prayer and fasting season, and I hope that God has been meeting you and touching your heart in ways that only he can. My name is Hannah and I get to work with student ministry here at our Beavercreek campus. In this season, we have been focusing on God's provision and acknowledging the ways that he has provided for people within the Bible and for us within our own lives. You s...

Welcome to another day of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. As we reflect on how God provides for us, let’s look at how Godprovided for Jonah. In Jonah’s story, we see God’s provision in many ways, but two stand out clearly: purpose and perspective. Jonah was given a clear purpose: to go to the city of Nineveh and call its people back to God. Nineveh, however, was a violent, cruel city, and Jonah...

Hello and welcome to 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. I'm so glad you're back with us today. We have a great opportunity today. But first I wanna introduce myself a little bit. My name is Jen. I have the incredible opportunity of being one of the kids pastors here at B Hope, and it is one of the most incredible things, if not the most incredible thing that I have ever had. The opportunity to do. Tod...
