Hope Fellowship Teaching Podcast

The Advent Season is a time of reflection as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus! This year at Hope, we’ll also have weekly artwork that helps us immerse ourselves into the Bethlehem story. The Art of Christmas is all about remembering that God’s peace, hope, joy, and salvation are the most beautiful gifts of all.

Generosity is not just about money, or giving of our time or talents. Generosity is about the condition of our hearts. While we don’t always see the impact, we can be sure of this - God is at work in every act of kindness, in every meal that is served, in every gift that is given. In this series, we will discover that the genius of generosity is that it doesn’t add up - it multiplies.

This is a two week series for imperfect Christians. Have you ever felt like you were riding the "spiritual struggle bus"? Feelings of spiritual inadequacy can make us fearful of God, but not in the healthy way. This series explores how knowing the loving, gracious God of Scripture can overcome our constant feelings of guilt and imperfection. "Messy Spirituality" examines the realities of or human...

This week Pastor Robert joins us as we continue our journey through the Book of Hebrews.

In today's message, Online Campus Pastor, Mary Solis, joins us as we continue our journey through the book of Hebrews.

The Bible is full of stories, songs, wisdom and teaching on how to love God and love people. The problem is, even for those of us who grew up in church, it can sometimes be difficult to understand what it says and how to apply it. In this year’s Summer Series, we will spend time learning tools for how to study the Bible, and then we’ll put it into practice by working through the book of Hebrews.

When reading the New Testament, we are reminded of Jesus’ promise to send us a helper after Himself. When things get tough, we naturally search for help. But are we looking for help in the right places? As believers, who are we looking to for help? Are we looking to friends or family? Or are we looking to The Holy Spirit - our ultimate Helper, sent as a gift to us by Jesus? In this three part seri...

One thing is for sure: Jesus gets quoted a lot. Whether it's a scripture verse you heard in a sermon somewhere, or maybe even something a friend said in a conversation, you’ve probably heard His name and his words discussed. When Jesus showed up on the scene in Galilee at the beginning of His ministry, He made an impression by taking the existing teaching of the Bible, and many times, turning it u...

Famed psychologist David Benner says: “The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies, but that we live them.” When we let the lies in, they wreak havoc to our souls and sabotage our peace. But how do we fight deceptive ideas that lead to disordered desires? Jesus, on the other hand, says that, “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” We have to know the difference between our voi...

Sometimes it can be so easy to walk through life discouraged and feeling alone. Even with the best intentions and resolutions, we often find ourselves back to old patterns and habits when we try to change. Sometimes what we need most is a word of encouragement to simply keep going. It’s almost like someone throwing a life preserver to us just when we feel like we’re drowning. Maybe we just need a...

During this time of year, people all over the world turn on their favorite Christmas movies as a way to enjoy the season. Christmas movies are nostalgic, funny, and they remind us, through our favorite characters, that Christmas is so much more than decorations and presents under the tree. This year at Hope, we will go on a journey through Advent, but with an all new twist! Join us for Christmas a...

Many of the church traditions we hold today have been around for over 2,000 years. What do we really know about the origins and theology of the Apostle’s Creed, baptism, communion, penance and ancient prayers? Should we continue in these traditions, or let them remain in the past?

We are all devoted to something. Our jobs, our kids, our favorite team, our bank accounts... the list is endless. However, Jesus calls us as Christ followers to be devoted to Him. To His teachings. To His ways. And the early church disciples found a great recipe to help us navigate the pathway of life as a Christian... so the question is not, "WHAT do we do?", but rather, "Are we DEVOTED to it?"

The book of Proverbs, the book of Ecclesiastes, and the book of Job all make up the Old Testament wisdom literature, and together they teach us important lessons about the meaning of life. In this year’s Summer Series, we explore what wisdom is, how we find it, and how we use it in our everyday lives.

We live in a broken and imperfect world filled with broken and imperfect people. There is beauty, but there is also pain. It’s no surprise that when people enter into relationship with one another, we experience and sometimes even create more pressure and pain in our lives. The challenge of this 4 week sermon series is to get us to consider how God can use pressure and even pain to produce perseve...

When it comes to gratitude, it's not enough to feel it. You’ve got to express it! What do you need to express gratitude to God for? Who do you owe a debt of gratitude to?

If there’s anything we’ve learned over the last few months, it’s that we need each other. We can see it from the beginning when God realized that we weren’t created to be alone, to the early church growing in numbers through community.  We were created for community, and we believe a life lived for others in community is full of joy and purpose.

God made us unique - the Bible says we are made in His image. Yet we feel dissonance in our souls sometimes. How do we get back in tune? We make God the center of our lives and our worship. We are not our own. We are not made for ourselves.

We often question the things God can and will do for us. He is. He sees. He provides. He heals. He saves. In this series we’ll walk through some of the times God has shown his complex faithfulness. Yahweh.

We always think that generosity simply means giving to someone in need, and while that’s true, generosity is about more than money. It’s opening your heart or your home. It’s making room for someone; making someone feel important or giving them something without expecting anything in return. Watch more messages at hopefellowship.net/messages .

This week, McKinney campus pastor Eric Sebastian talks about King Josiah, who was crowned king over Israel when he was only 8 years old! He also made some difficult decisions to reject his father's ways and return to the Lord.
