Hope Rock Church

God's mercy extends to all, even those we might not expect or desire Him to bless. This challenges us to align our hearts with God's compassionate nature, rather than holding onto anger or narrow perspective.

Jonah was offended when God was full of grace toward those Jonah hated.

Restoring three things back to the church: 1. The preeminent pursuit of Jesus. 2. Returning to the biblical church design. 3. The call of God to the nations. Also includes the deacon ordination!

Jonah now reaches Nineveh - and finds a response he never expected.

Unpacking Jonah 1:17-2:10 and ordaining new deacons!

The Lord churns up a storm for Jonah, but did the Lord create it? Or did Jonah? For, after all, if Jonah had not gone on to Tarshish, would the storm have happened?

Jonah resisted God's call. But do we? Often in ways we don't even realize!

We have a desperate need for both an initial revelation of Jesus for salvation and ongoing, fresh revelation for sanctification. Revelation often confronts pragmatism and requires obedience.

Jesus is coming back. How do we get ourselves ready? And what will He expect to find when He arrives?

Marcus Herbert (Cornerstone Church, South Africa; NCMI team) shares with us how the Church is not meant to be an ocean liner but an aircraft carrier - for jets to take the gospel to the world.

We’re encouraged in our world to build many things. A business. Our nation. Our career. Our family. These are all good things. But they can become idols if they’re not placed in the context of God’s Kingdom and His purposes in our world. Join us as we unpack what it means to build the Kingdom - and how everything else falls into place when we “seek first the Kingdom”! (Matthew 6:33)

As we look at the present season, one of the things God has been highlighting to the elders is the story of the ten spies in Exodus 13. Two spies wanted to advance in God’s promises, while ten wanted to shrink back. The outcome for each was vastly different. How do we cultivate a “two-spy” attitude and heart? A conquering attitude? We cannot have any other attitude for the present season, or we, l...

Our preaching series on the book of Colossians has been such a wonderful encouragement. We’ve looked at how Christ is the center of it all, the King of Kings who has supremacy in and over everything. Toward the end of the book, we’ve looked at Christian living in the family and in our relationships. To end it all, we’ll be looking at what it means to finish strong and live the “sent life” for the...

Usually, at the end of Paul’s letters, there are “greetings” to Paul’s friends, which most of us probably skim over or ignore. But yet within these greetings there are some wonderful challenges and insights - and this week’s greetings fit very well into Father’s Day!

We’re nearing the end of the book of Colossians! This week, we looking at Paul’s heart for evangelism and his understanding of prayer. He also mentions the “mystery of Christ”. What does that mean?

“Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.” Well, now we’re hitting some controversial scriptures! Was Paul condoning slavery? Do these exhortations still hold relevance for us today? What principle can we glean from this?

“Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands…” “Husbands, love your wives…” “Children, obey your parents…” These are instructions that speak right to the heart of our homes. How are we to live these out - and live them out well ?
