Living Hope Fellowship

When Jesus touches a life, He changes is completely and forever. When Jesus healed the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, it was an announcement to the world that Jesus is the only true hope for the healing of sin and our powerlessness over it.

In the final message in this series, Pastor Chris Reiber looks at the importance of giving the Holy Spirit first place in your life in order to move on to spiritual maturity.

The indwelling presence of God requires that we embrace the abiding of Jesus Christ. He abides in us so that we may abide in Him.

Continuing a study through Scripture on the subject of how God intends to dwell within each believer and delights when we submit to His Spirit to lead, guide, direct and commune with us.

Pastor Chris Rieber begins a four-part series on what it truly looks like to walk in step with the Holy Spirit. In this message, we look at how God intends to indwell us as a new owner, not just a resident.

Many people believe that faith is the absence of doubt or fear. Actually, faith is trust in the face of doubt and fear. In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at the two discouraged disciples traveling to Emmaus when they met Jesus who called them to renew their faith in the promises of the Messiah.

Have you ever had a crisis? That's an obvious question, right? We are all familiar with crisis in our lives. And, we all have the very same crisis in common - the crisis of sin. And, this is a life and death kind of crisis. In this message, we look at how we must be desperate for only Christ to handle our greatest crisis.

In the second message of the "Changed" Series, we take a look at the Samaritan Woman at the Well to see how her life -- and the lives of others in Samaria -- were changed when Jesus touched their lives and gave them Living Water.

In the first message of the "Changed" Series, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at how when Jesus touches your heart, it is never the same. One of the best examples of a changed heart is Zacchaeus the Tax Collector.

In this sermon, Pastor Derek Holmes discusses how everything God does is generated out of His immense love.

Pastor Chris Rieber continues our walk through the book of Isaiah by looking at the new name we are given in through redemption in the Messiah. This new name signifies belonging in a new family and it calls us to a better way to live both now and for eternity.

In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at the suffering the Messiah would endure in order to make peace between humanity and God.

What do you hope for? Most of the time, when we think about hope, we are really talking about wishful thinking. Biblical hope is different. Biblical hope is a calm confidence in the faithfulness of God to keep His promises. In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes opens the Advent season by looking at the hopeful promise of a coming Messiah and how we should respond to that hope.

As section 2 of Isaiah opens, we are introduced to a brand new tone in Isaiah's prophetic voice; changing from one of coming judgment to one of promised comfort. That comfort is rooted in the promise of the coming Messiah and the hope of protection, provision and victory for God's people despite the current troubles.

In the last message of the Foundational Words Series, Pastor Derek Holmes discusses how faithfulness is what brings everything together. More than our skill, talent, maturity or anything else, it is required of servants of God to be faithful.

In the continuation of the Foundational Words of Living Hope, Pastor Chris Rieber looks at the next value of cultivating meaningful relationships within the body of Christ and with others toward the body of Christ.

Pastor Chris Rieber discusses two more foundational values of Living Hope Fellowship. Growth and Service.

In this episode, Pastor Chris Rieber looks at the Biblical view of Church functioning like a family more than an institutional organization.

What King do you serve? This is a strange question, especially for those of us in the non-monarchial United States. But, the truth is that all of us serve a King or Queen -- maybe not political, but spiritual. A better word might be an Idol. What has our heart is what we usually find ourselves serving. In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at Israel's voluntary transition from a Theocracy, wh...

Have you ever wondered what God was doing or wanting you to do, but just weren't clear? In this message, Pastor Chris Rieber talks about how God has a clearly stated universal will for all of us outlined in Scripture, but He also has an individual will for each of our lives. Knowing God's particular will for life is in direct relation to our willingness to obey all of HIs universal will.

Have you ever felt like you and God just aren't syncing up on life planning? Even the Apostle Paul felt that way. In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes examines Paul's prayer over his "thorn in the flesh" to see what we can learn about trusting God when it doesn't seem like He's cooperating.

Have you ever wondered if maybe God just wasn't paying attention? Maybe you've even felt like God let you down. In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at the life -- and death -- of John the Baptist to see how God may not always come through the way we think He should. How do we remain faithful when that happens?

In Isaiah 32-35, we see a prophetic announcement of a Righteous King who will set up an eternal righteous Kingdom where there is no violence, no corruption, no sorrow, no famine, etc and all the people prosper and live in peace. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, in this message, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at why no matter where you may be currently, if you are in Christ, better days are alwa...

Loneliness. Just about everyone can identify in some way with the feeling. In this message, Elder Don Flynn looks at the prevalence of loneliness and how Jesus was the most lonely person to ever walk the earth, and how that is a good thing for us. He is acquainted with our sorrow.
