Hope City Church

When fear rises, where do you lean? In this message from week two of Fresh Fire, Pastor Daniel shows how leaning in means trusting God when answers don't come quickly. If you're in a waiting season, this word is for you.

A new year calls for renewed focus. We're kicking off January with our Reset Series called "Fresh Fire". In this message, Pastor Daniel walks through the life of Daniel and reminds us that what has our attention determines our direction. Being spiritually "logged in" isn't enough. A locked-in life leads to alignment, holiness, and consistency. When we get locked in spiritually, everything else fol...

The end of the year isn't an ending. It's a transition. In this message, we look to Philippians 3, verse 14 and Paul's reminder to keep pressing forward. This message challenges us to stay spiritually alert and remember what God has already done. No matter how this year has looked, God is still working—and He's not finished yet.

This Christmas, we're reminded that God didn't stay distant. He stepped into the room. In this special Christmas message from our Hope Has a Name series, we reflect on the light Jesus brings into our darkness and the hope that still shines even in difficult seasons. No matter what this year has held, one truth remains: God is with us.

In a season filled with noise, pressure, and emotional weight, God offers something deeper than temporary relief: sustaining peace. In this message, Pastor Daniel teaches that peace isn't a feeling or a circumstance. Peace is a person, and His name is Jesus. Anchored in 2 Thessalonians 3:16, we're reminded that the Lord of peace gives peace at all times and in every way. Whether the holidays bring...

Hope City, welcome home. 😭   In this powerful and emotional grand opening message, Pastors Daniel and Jackie Groves lead Hope City into a brand new season as we celebrate the opening of our West Houston campus. After years of being a mobile church, Hope City now has a permanent home, and this sermon captures the faith, sacrifice, miracles, and vision that brought it to life.    Through the powerf...

Today we gathered for a historic milestone—our final service at our portable location. For six years, this gym has been a place of miracles, salvations, restored families, and moments where God met us in life-changing ways. As we honor all He's done here, we also step forward with anticipation. This message reminds us that we're not losing anything. We're stepping into MORE. God is leading us into...

What if the future God is calling you into is waiting on the other side of your pursuit? In week 4 of For Such a Time as This, Pastor Kevin Lucas challenges us to lift our eyes, steady our focus, and refuse to settle for where we've been. God's best isn't behind you, it's ahead of you. The journey between "not there yet" and "on my way" is where faith comes alive.

What if the miracle you're praying for is waiting on the other side of your willingness? In Week 3 of For Such a Time as This, Pastor Daniel reminds us that God moves through hearts that are surrendered, obedient, and ready to make room for His overflow. This message will help you shift from "God, here's what I want" to "God, shape my heart for Your will."

This Vision Sunday is more than a milestone. It's a moment to pause with gratitude, stand in awe of God's faithfulness, and look forward with faith to everything He's about to do. Pastors Daniel and Jackie share fresh vision for Hope City, keeping His presence first, growing deeper through the Word, and starting strong in our brand-new West Houston campus. As we step into a new season, we're remin...

Purpose isn't powered by hustle, it's unlocked by a willing, obedient, generous heart. "Guard your heart above all else" (Prov. 4:23) because what fills your heart steers your life. Say, "If You say so," and watch God turn empty nets into overflow.

When you look back over your life, can you see the fingerprints of God? Can you see the moments that didn't make sense at the time, but now you realize His goodness was chasing you the whole way? In this powerful conclusion to The Good Shepherd series, Pastor Daniel unpacks Psalm 23:6 and reminds us that the Shepherd's goodness and mercy aren't seasonal, they're steady, faithful, and ever-present....

Valleys are real, but they're not permanent. In this message, Pastor Daniel reads Psalm 23 over us and shows how the Good Shepherd doesn't just comfort us in green pastures, but He also guides, guards, and grows us through dark valleys. The same Shepherd who led you in winning seasons walks you through the low places, sets a table in enemy territory, and keeps your cup overflowing.

Sheep don't worry when they have a shepherd. They rest. They trust. They follow. In this message, Pastor Daniel unpacks Psalm 23 and reminds us that our confidence isn't in our circumstances but in the Shepherd who provides, protects, and is present. His presence turns scarcity into sufficiency, fear into faith, and lack into abundance. When the Lord is your Shepherd, you're never alone, never wit...

What if the biggest breakthrough in your relationships isn't changing the other person, but changing your perspective? In this message, our Hope City panel closes out our relationship series with a conversation on how love reframes the way we see shame, grief, overwhelm, and even the challenges of the teenage years. We're reminded that God's love never fails. When we see through His eyes, we can t...

God doesn't just heal individuals. He redeems relationships. In this message, Pastors Adam and Ashlee Mesa from Patria Church share their story of how God took their brokenness and past mistakes and turned them into a testimony of redemption. Through honesty, intention, and perseverance, and by building on the foundation of 1 Corinthians 13, we discover that no relationship is beyond God's healing...

Loving others well starts with letting God heal every part of you. In this message, Dr. Andy Yarborough unpacks how self-leadership, micro-moments of connection, and Spirit-led surrender help us live out 1 Corinthians 13:7: "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." When we stop hiding our broken parts and bring them to Jesus, He turns survival into flourishing. Hope i...

Some seasons feel like they're stretching us beyond what we can carry. But what if the stretch isn't meant to break us—it's meant to strengthen us? In this message, Pastor Daniel unpacks Mark 3, where Jesus tells a man with a withered hand, "Stretch out your hand." It wasn't to shame him. It wasn't to embarrass him. It was to restore him completely. The same God who restored that man is still rest...

Some battles can't be won with strategy or strength, they require a "God did it" moment. In this message, Pastor Daniel unpacks Joshua 10 and one of the boldest prayers in Scripture: "Sun, stand still." Joshua prayed beyond his own ability, and God answered in a way only He could. No matter your season, God is still faithful, still fighting for His people, and still answering bold, audacious praye...

Who's in your corner? The people surrounding you can either pull you back or push you closer to Jesus. In week three of our Miracle Season series, Pastor Daniel unpacks The Miracle of Faithful Friends from Luke 5. The truth is, miracles don't just happen in isolation, they often break out in the context of community. The right friends will pick up the corner of your mat, carry you through the crow...

When you're waiting, hurting, or facing what feels like a dead end, you can still expect God to move. In week two of our Miracle Season series, Pastor Jackie unpacks the story of Lazarus to show that miracles often break out in the midst of discomfort. Just like Mary and Martha discovered, the pressing seasons of life are invitations to draw closer to Jesus. Your miracle might not come the way you...

When the bills are stacked high, the diagnosis is grim, or the doors keep closing, you can still trust that God will provide. In the kickoff to our Miracle Season series, Pastor Daniel reminds us that God's provision isn't just rare breakthrough, it's daily bread. Just like He fed the Israelites in the wilderness every morning for 40 years, He's faithful to meet your needs exactly when you need it...

No matter what you're walking through, God is still worthy of your worship. Pastor Daniel closes out our Challenge Accepted series with a bold reminder: praise isn't based on perfect circumstances, it's rooted in unwavering faith. When the diagnosis is discouraging, the doors don't open like you hoped, and anxiety tries to steal your breath… Yet, I will praise the Lord. Praise doesn't wait on proo...

No matter what you're carrying, God is still worthy of your worship.  In this week's message from our Challenge Accepted series, Pastor Daniel challenges us to take a closer look at what real worship looks like. It's not about performance or perfection. It's about having a posture of surrender.  True worship happens when we put His name above it all—above our plans, our pride, our emotions, and ou...
