This is our third week in Gen. 19. In this passage God rains fire and sulfur down on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Why would God do such a thing? In this teaching we see how and why God destroys and judges nations and individuals. We learn what God is accomplishing when He destroys. We learn what people do that causes God to destroy them and why it is a good thing that God is a Judge.

God told Lot to leave Sodom. Lot wasn’t doing it fast enough so God was merciful to him. He grabbed Lot’s hand and yanked him out of the city before it was destroyed. What does this have to do with us? How does God give His mercy out? How do people receive it? How should people respond to God’s mercy? All these questions and more are answered as we continue to explore Genesis 19.

This story may just be one of the most awkward and uncomfortable passages in all of the Bible, yet it is full of great truths that teach us much about God, ourselves and the world that we live in. In this story we will see that God knows how to rescue His people at just the right time.

Today we resume our series entitle "Abraham Believed God." In this passage we see Abraham stand before the Lord and draw near to God in desperate prayer. Very few have prayed so earnestly, there is a lot that we can learn from this passage.

Paul spent 57 verses showing us that Jesus has risen from the dead. He then tells us how it should affect our lives. He call us to action. He says "Therefore my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." This teaching is a call to action. We are the church, Jesus has saved us and we are to grow strong a...

So what does that mean? What does it mean to "do justice"? What does it mean to "love kindness"? What does it mean to "walk humbly with your God"? Doing justice has to do with giving someone their due. What are the implications of this in our world today? How should we respond to the murder of George Floyd? And most importantly? What hope do we have that things will get better?

This week we explore 1 Cor. 15:50-57. In this passage Paul tells us what will happen to those who are alive when Jesus returns! It is going to be so exciting! Jesus gives His people the victory.

This week, we took a brief break from 1 Corinthinians so we could hear what the Lord wanted to tell us in Romans 14:1-15:7. In this passage we are reminded to honor and extend grace to our brothers and sisters in the Lord on matters of opinion. Differences of opinions need not cause division, but rather can be a source of learning and can foster deeper relationships.

In this message we continue to explore 1 Corinthians and learn more about resurrection. In this passage (15:29-34) it becomes clear that Paul is living his life the way that he is because Jesus has risen from the dead. He commands us to wake up, stop sinning and know God.

CORRECTION: "Can the Potter say to the clay..." should be "Can the clay say to the Potter..." Pastor Kyle got his words mixed up.    This week we will be exploring 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 where Paul tells us what will take place at the end of time. There is a lot of good news in this passage.    If you'd like to support this ministry financially you can mail a check to the...

Please listen with an open ear, please allow this message to strengthen you and please search the scri...

In this teaching from Genesis 17:15-27 Kyle Truman shows us how good God is to those He is in covenant relationship with. In this story God tells Abraham that his own wife Sarah will bear him a son and that God will fulfill the covenant through him and his descendants.

In this episode Joe Pierce leads us through Genesis 17:1-14. In this passage God makes clear His covenant purposes to Abram and changes His name to Abraham. In this teaching we will see why circumcision is talked about in the Bible so often.

Chaos and uncertainty are all around us these days. How do we make it through seasons like this?   In this message Kyle Truman helps us make sense of all that is going on in our world today. In this teaching we will explore Psalm 46 where we have a song that acknowledges the chaos in our world and shows us how to live our lives in the midst of the craziness.   At Hope Fellowship we want...

In Genesis 16 Abram's wife Sarai has a really bad idea. Abram decides to go along with it and the results are disastrous.  In this story we again see that God is faithful and we learn that we can't rush His good plan.

In this episode we explore Genesis 15:7-21 where the conversation between Abram and God continues.  The good news that we see in this passage is that God is a covenant making and covenant keeping God. This means He keeps His promises and graciously works with us as we grow in our faith.

In this sermon we explore Genesis 15:1-6 and we dive deep into what it means that God granted Abram His righteousness when Abram believed the promise of God. Later on in Biblical history the apostle Paul would use an idea from this passage to show that the only way that anyone can have a relationship with God is to receive God's very own perfect righteousness by faith.  As you listen to this...

In this teaching from Philippians 1:3-11 and 4:14-20 Jon Rismiller challenges us to love Jesus and work together, going and sending people to the nations so that we can accomplish the Great Commission together.

In this teaching from Genesis 14:17-24 Abram is returning from battle and meets two kings. Abram says no to one and yes to the other. 

In this teaching from Genesis 14:1-16 we see Abram go to battle against four kings and rescue his nephew Lot.

In this teaching from Genesis 13 we see Abram learning to trust God again. He faced a difficult situation and handled it wisely. Ater the situation was resolved God spoke to Abram again and reaffirmed His promises to Abram. In this teaching we dive into the idea that Jesus presents to us in Matthew 5:5,  "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
