Hope Fellowship Teaching Podcast

In this week's message from our summer series, "The Bible for Regular People," Online Campus Pastor Mary takes us into Acts 9 with a message about one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the entire Bible - the conversion of Saul. What does it look like when God interrupts everything you thought you knew? And what happens when an ordinary, unsung believer says yes at just the right moment? This one...

In week four of The Bible for Regular People, guest speaker Holly Wagner walks through Acts 8 and reminds us that the Church is called to look different from a world that is deeply divided. As Philip carried the gospel beyond familiar people and places, we see that unity in the Church is built through humility and a shared commitment to Christ. The gospel tears down the walls that separate us and...

In Week 3 of our summer series, The Bible for Regular People, McKinney Campus Pastor Eric Sebastian walked through Acts 6-7 and the story of Stephen. Stephen was an ordinary man who became a powerful witness for Jesus because he lived surrendered to the Holy Spirit. Even in the face of opposition and persecution, he remained faithful and boldly pointed people to Christ. His story reminds us that G...

In the second week of our summer series, The Bible for Regular People, Pastor Aaron Alexander walks through Acts 2-3, showing us what real transformation looks like through the before-and-after story of Peter and the birth of the early church. If you've ever wondered whether God can actually change a person at the core level, this message is for you.

What if God’s plan has never depended on extraordinary people, but on ordinary people who are willing to depend on Him? In the first week of our summer series , The Bible for Regular People, we begin our journey through Acts and discover that Jesus didn’t send His followers out in their own strength. He told them to wait for the Holy Spirit. Acts 1 reminds us that God still empowers everyday peopl...

In the final week of our series on The Trinity, Pastor Zach Wright takes a closer look at who the Holy Spirit is and how He is actively at work in the lives of believers. Far from being distant or impersonal, the Holy Spirit is God’s presence within us. As we wrap up this series, Pastor Zach also unpacks the doctrine of the Trinity and why it remains such a vital part of our faith. This message is...

This weekend, we continued our Trinity series by taking a closer look at God the Son—Jesus. Through John 3, we were reminded that Jesus didn’t come to condemn us but to save us, making a way for us to have eternal life through Him. So often, we try to fix ourselves, earn God’s approval, or carry our struggles on our own, but the Gospel invites us to simply look to Jesus in faith. As you go through...

We kicked off our new series, The Trinity, by taking a look at who God the Father really is. So often, our experiences and struggles shape how we see Him, but Scripture reminds us that He is near and full of compassion. This message is an invitation to lift our eyes beyond fear, frustration, and uncertainty so we can see the hope found in knowing God more intimately. A right view of the Father has...

What are we chasing that only God can give? On Mother’s Day, Co-Interim Lead Pastor Angela Linz walks through the stories of Rachel and Leah to show how comparison, longing, and waiting can leave us empty, but Jesus alone brings the love and fullness our hearts are searching for.

As we wrap up our Love Your Neighbor series, Aaron Alexander is joined by Outreach Pastor Launa Vaughn to share how Hope is serving around the world. From meaningful partnerships to life-changing impact, you’ll hear how we’re living out this calling together. You’ll also hear a powerful story from Kiwi Cook, who shares her journey as a former Compassion-sponsored child and how that support changed...

What does it really look like to love and serve like Jesus? In week three of the Love Your Neighbor series, Pastor Eric Sebastian reminds us that true, Jesus-centered helping begins with humility. It’s about noticing the need, letting go of our own rights, and choosing a personal, sacrificial kind of service. And as we follow His example, our actions do more than meet needs—they point people to Hi...

In week two of Love Your Neighbor, Pastor Zach Wright explores why loving our neighbor starts with examining our own hearts. Before we rush to help, Jesus invites us to recognize our own brokenness so we can love others with humility rather than pride.

Life doesn’t always go the way we expect, but what if our interruptions and obstacles are actually invitations from God? In week 1 of our Love Your Neighbor series, Dr. Donna Pisani helps us discover that we are not the Savior in the story; we are stewards of what Jesus has already done in us. As we remember how Jesus met us in our brokenness, we learn to see others differently, respond with compa...

Easter invites us to wrestle with one powerful question: what if Jesus really is who He claimed to be? The empty tomb isn’t just a moment in history; it’s the turning point that set God’s plan of restoration in motion and changed everything for us. Because He is alive, we are no longer defined by sin, brokenness, or death; we’re invited into new life and real transformation. This Easter, we don’t...

In the final message of our Practicing The Way series, Pastor Aaron Alexander invites us to consider who or what is shaping our lives and challenges us to become intentional about our spiritual formation. He gives us practical ways to build a “rule of life” - one shaped by love, sustained by rhythm, and moved by the Spirit.

In week four of Practicing The Way, Pastor Angela Linz unpacks what it really means to “do as Jesus did,” reminding us that real faith produces real action, but only after true transformation. Through the story of Zacchaeus, we see how Jesus made space for people, spoke truth with love, and invites us to live from a place of being fully known and deeply loved.

In week three of our Practicing the Way series, Pastor Eric Sebastian explored what it means to become like Jesus through the process of spiritual formation. Looking at Matthew 16:24-25, he explained that discipleship requires us to say no to self, die to self, and live for Christ. Instead of constantly asking “What do I want?”, following Jesus means surrendering control of our lives and asking, “...

In week two of our Practicing the Way series, we explored what it means to truly be with Jesus. While following Jesus often begins with practices like attending church, reading Scripture, and praying, real transformation happens when we learn to remain connected to Him. Drawing from Bible passages like John 15:1–4 and Romans 12:1–2, we see that abiding in Jesus means remaining, renewing our minds,...

In the first week of our Practicing the Way series, Pastor Eric unpacks Jesus’ invitation to come and find true rest by taking on His yoke. Salvation is received in a moment, but lasting rest is learned through a lifestyle of following, becoming like, and living on mission with Jesus.

In the final message of our Built to Last series, guest speaker Scott Wilson invites us to think beyond our lifetime and consider the legacy we are building. Through the promise in the Book of Malachi and the story of Elijah and Elisha, we were reminded that God’s heart is for generations to be connected and strengthened. The challenge was simple but powerful: let’s not let what God has given us s...

In week two of our series "Built to Last," we looked at what it means to live out godly manhood. As David prepared Solomon to lead, he showed that real strength is not dominance but obedience to God. Both David and Solomon failed, which reminds us that our hope is not in trying harder, but in Jesus - the better King who obeyed perfectly and loved sacrificially. Because we are rooted in Him, we can...

In the opening message of our new series, Built to Last, Pastor Broc shares that great marriages don’t happen by accident; they happen on purpose. From the way Jesus lived and built relationships with those around him, we can see that humility is often the missing ingredient in marriages and relationships that last. As we grow in humility and take responsibility for our own growth, we'll see love...

In the final message of our series, The Devil Is a Liar, Pastor Robert teaches that hearing God’s voice flows from knowing Jesus, not mastering a spiritual formula. As we grow in relationship with Him, discernment and obedience become a natural response to His truth.

In Week two of our series The Devil Is a Liar, we follow Israel’s journey through both the Wilderness and the Promised Land to see how lies can shape us in seasons of struggle and comfort. We are reminded that God meets us in both, providing daily bread in times of crisis and calling us to faithfulness when life feels stable. No matter the season, the truth is the same: the Promised Land isn’t a p...

Join us in our new series, The Devil Is a Liar, as we step into the Garden and the Wilderness and ask an honest question we all face in moments of temptation: whose voice are we really trusting? We’re reminded that God is truth and always leads us toward freedom, while the enemy deceives by pulling us away from God’s Word with promises that sound good in the moment but don’t last. When we stay anc...
