Hope Church Munich Podcast

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are fundamental to our faith. Here Martin explains how it was necessary for Jesus to die, and be raised from the dead, to transfer us into the kingdom of love. He explores what it means to take up our cross, and walk a resurrection lifestyle, in God's love and powerfully expressing in to others. --- Der Tod und die Auferstehung Jesu Christi sind grundlege...

Who is the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus promised would be an advocate to us? And what does it mean to be baptised in Him? Heike shares on this sometimes mysterious wonderful person of the Trinity, and encourages us to open ourselves to Him. Her experience will make you hungry to experience more of Him yourself! --- Wer ist der Heilige Geist, von dem Jesus versprochen hat, dass er für uns ein Fürspreche...

Continuing from last week, Martin explores further God's amazing plan to make the nations His possession and the earth His dwelling place, and how the coming of the Lord Jesus was like a declaration of war. And how Jesus makes a very real declaration of war Himself when he declared the gates of Hades would not withstand against the church in the very place historically known as the gates of hell....

This challenging message from Martin invites us to take a fresh look at some Bible verses we might find hard in our culture to understand regarding spiritual realities. He takes us back to Creation, where we can see that God gave man the authority to make earth a place that reflects heaven - like heaven on earth. Listen as he takes us through passages in Job and Genesis that help understand the re...

The words of the great Commission in Matthew 28 are very well known, but do we understand what it truly means to be sent? Pastor Martin explores also the historical interpretation of atonement, and the authority that is given us through this Commission. We have been given authority to rule and bring God's kingdom to others because we are sent as Jesus was sent! --- Die Worte des Missionsbefehls in...

This message from Vini, with personal stories, encourages us to keep on praying, even when things seem tough - and to have faith that God hears us and acts. --- Diese Botschaft von Vini mit persönlichen Geschichten ermutigt uns, weiter zu beten, auch wenn die Dinge schwierig erscheinen - und darauf zu vertrauen, dass Gott uns hört und handelt.

In this key message for anyone at Hope we're looking at the essence of the church - what lies at the very core of this body of believers, our vision, mission, cultures and most of all our "spirit", pervasive in everything we do? Listen in as Pastor Martin feeds back on our recent workshop - and listen again to keep it in mind! --- In dieser Kernbotschaft für alle, die bei Hope sind, geht es um das...

Our mission statement: We are building an apostolic family, where everyone is seen and valued, everyone encounters God and pursues His presence, and where everyone is equipped and sent. Paul Manwaring, our guest speaker, explores our vision, mission, cultures and the essential spirit of our church, and explains that often misunderstood word of "apostolic"! --- Unsere Mission: Wir sind ei...

There is so much more! As Kevin Brogan shares, with lots of stories of his own, when we're in Christ then every single day we get the opportunity to step out with God into new adventures! Maybe to take the risk of praying for someone to be healed? Or other risks... step out! --- Es gibt so viel mehr! Wie Kevin Brogan mit vielen eigenen Geschichten erzählt, bekommen wir, wenn wir in Christus si...

This shorter input from Martin is about the longing with which Jesus looked forward to finally being able to establish the new covenant. He was longing to prepare something so we could finally become the people he designed us to be and receive all his fullness. --- In diesem kurzen Input von Martin geht es um die Sehnsucht, mit der Jesus darauf wartete, endlich den neuen Bund aufrichten zu können....

What does it mean to live in the New Covenant? We are a new creation, we are free from the law and we have been given the Holy Spirit - all so that we can put a New Commandment into practice: to love one another as Jesus has loved us. This message is then about how this love works in everyday life and also about how easily we can be led by the Holy Spirit when we understand that he speaks with the...

A message to strengthen your faith! Kenny shares about the importance of faith for us, especially when we experience storms in our lives. --- Eine Botschaft, die deinen Glauben stärkt! Kenny spricht darüber, wie wichtig der Glaube für uns ist, besonders wenn wir Stürme in unserem Leben erleben.

"Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law“ (Romans 13:10). Our message this Sunday is about Jesus' command that we should love one another as he has loved us. Walking in love is certainly one of the emphases of the gospel and the new creation. This is why it is so important to learn how God has enabled us to fulfill this commandment in our lives. It is...

Listen in as Vini shows us three reasons why it is so important for us to reach out for God's presence. --- Erfahre von Vini drei Gründe, warum es für uns so wichtig ist, uns nach Gottes Gegenwart auszustrecken.

Salvation is not an end in itself - it’s there so God can make His dwelling place in us. We are called to live a life in fellowship with the Holy Spirit - and it's important to live life in the Spirit as there will always be things in life we simply don't understand! Martin shares on how, as we invest into the life in the Spirit we will find ourselves experiencing more and more of God - and grow i...

Had you ever considered fighting a battle with fruit?! As Ian Rossol shares, the fruit of the Holy Spirit is so powerful in overcoming the works of the enemy - just as an example, the answer to fear is perfect love, which is the first fruit of the Spirit! --- Hast du jemals darüber nachgedacht, einen Kampf mit Früchten zu führen?! Wie Ian Rossol hier sagt, hat die Frucht des Heiligen Geistes die M...

Don't allow the enemy to distort your perception of your identity by reminding you of things from the past that have long been forgiven - this is the heart of this message. And while this truth is foundational to the gospel, it is necessary for us to keep reminding ourselves of what Jesus' finished work on the cross means for us in this regard. We have been set free to live in our new identity in...

Did you know that the Bible talks about "piercing"? It actually does! And that's what Martin picks up in this message- there's a piercing that's actually important for us, and it has something to do with learning to hold on by faith to the truth about our identity as a new creation. Sure, a piercing can hurt a little sometimes, but when that piercing is done through the Word of righteousness, it l...

God is love and „knowing God“ is life! Listen to Martin as he looks at what it means to live in this love. Actually a consistent walk in love is almost like proof that Christ is living in us („It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me“). --- Gott ist Liebe und "Gott kennen" ist Leben! Martin überlegt, was es bedeutet, in dieser Liebe zu leben. Tatsächlich ist ein konsequenter Wandel i...

Our identity and knowing it are so important! Listen as Kenny shares on how what we say in our own minds to ourselves is powerful, and we need to make sure we are in alignment with the thoughts of God. We're his beloved sons and daughters, not his hired servants! --- Unsere Identität und das Bewusstsein, wer wir sind, ist so ein entscheidendes Thema. Kenny spricht darüber, wie die Worte, die wir z...

This message is about the core of the new covenant - we are crucified with Christ and we no longer live, but Christ lives in us. And this clarifies the question of what significance the law has for us. Our focus is to do everything so that the life of Christ can fully unfold in us. If we ourselves have been crucified with Christ, then of course we have died to sin. --- In dieser Botschaft geht es...

This message explores the beauty and wealth of the new covenant. In it we delve into the parable of the widow and the grudging judge, highlighting the vital importance of anchoring our faith in God's steadfast faithfulness and the transformative power of this covenant. Contemplating the depth of God's gift to us through this covenant will fill us with immense joy. It serves as a powerful r...

It is important to understand, that true transformation can only be achieved by cooperating with the Holy Spirit. He is able to lead us into transformative encounters that go to a deeper level and change us from the inside out. And according to the word maintaining an atmosphere of freedom is required to allow the Holy Spirit to „feel at home“ (for where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom)...

In the Old Testament, we see, that God’s presence is the distinguishing mark for the people of God that distinguishes us from all other people. This is the reason why we cannot underestimate the significance of his presence even today. We are called to pursue his presence and as a church family, we want to encourage each other to do so. --- Im Alten Testament lesen wir, dass die Gegenwart Gottes d...

This is the second part of our series on the blessed life we have been given in Christ Jesus.
