This month we take time to focus on Global Outreach and understand why it is important to the heart of God. Jesus instructed believers to go and make disciples of all nations and to teach them of God's love and commands. But what does that actually look like for us as the body of Christ? How can we as believers be a part of the great commission? Some are called directly to the mission field while...

There are many, many churches in our community and in our world. And we live in a culture that rates everything, and that includes churches too. It seems nothing in our culture is left unrated. People rate churches based on varying features. It might be the worship or the fellowship time or the sermons preached. But whatever the aspect, people all have something to say and an opinion to share. So...

In the book of 1 John, John is clearly communicating important information to the believers. In this week's sermon, God's Word shows us two crucial points when it comes to eternal life. These points matter in our walk as believers and steer us in the direction of how to walk out our daily Christian lives with those around us. After you have listened to this week's sermon, continue the conversation...

There seems to be two camps of people in this world -- rule followers and rule breakers. Some want to walk the line to a tee while others might tend to see how far they can bend that line. As followers of Christ, we are aware that there are commands to be followed in God's Word. Also as followers of Christ, we know there are times when we break those commands and don't always "follow the rules". S...

“You are what you eat.” We’ve often heard that as a reminder that what we consume determines who we are and how we interact with the world around us. How we fuel ourselves, determines the challenges we are able to face. In our Christian journey, challenges abound. We’re often pushed up against circumstances that push us to our breaking point. In those moments, what is inside of us will determine h...

Has there ever been a time in your life when you thought something was going to go one away and then it took a turn in a another direction? Or maybe you thought you were going to have one conversation with someone and it turned into a different conversation altogether? This happens in life with practical situations but it also happens in the life of a believer when it comes to sin. We don't want t...

Often we are surprised in life by particular situations when in fact, we really shouldn't be surprised at all. In some areas of life, it may not make a difference. However, when it comes to following Christ, God's Word is very clear that we should not be surprised when we are hated by the world. So how are we required to respond? How should we, as the body of Christ, show others the love of Christ...

Social media. TV. The internet. The news. Friends. As we all know that there are many, many voices around us each and every day. How are we supposed to know which ones to listen to? Which ones are we suppose to follow? And in this culture we live in, how can test each voice and know which ones are credible? God's Word does not leave us without answers on this important topic. At Mount Hope, we hav...

Many of us need corrective lenses of some sort to help us with our vision. Without our glasses or contacts, it is difficult to see what is right in front of us or what may be up ahead of us. We may only view this is in a physical sense. But honestly, as believer, as soon as we choose to follow Christ, we are in need of vision correction. We should no longer see things the way the world does. So wh...

If we are truly honest with ourselves, there might be times in our lives when we want to deny the reality around us. Maybe we don't want to face this situation or that circumstance so we engage in some sort of denial toward it. However, we all know that just because we deny something doesn't mean it isn't real and denying is not helpful to us. In fact, light must be shown on these realities in ord...

We have all been caught in a storm at one time or another. Maybe it was just a hard rain or maybe something more serious, like a hurricane, that we needed to take cover from. Regardless, we all know that some storms can be scary and even dangerous at times. We can become frantic during them. But what if walking through a storm can refine you as a person? As believers, that is what a storm in life...

Every book in the Bible matters. God gave us each and every book because it plays a role in the larger picture of the Story of Scripture. If we are honest with ourselves, we will admit that some books are much easier to understand and grasp than others. However, that doesn't mean we disregard any of them. This week is our last week in the Story of Scripture sermon series. In closing, we take a loo...

This week we look at the letters, or epistles, written in the New Testament. In reading someone else's "mail", we may have only part of the story. As we dig deeper into His Word, we learn the right order and right practice of our beliefs matters to the heart of God and to our witness to others. Listen to this week's sermon to learn about the importance of the letters written in God's Word which ar...

This time of year at Mount Hope, we like to take time to highlight our Compassion Ministry. And at the same time, as we continue in our sermon series, Story of Scripture, we see what God's response is when the covenants that we have been learning about, are broken. We see how compassion comes in when it comes to our walk with Christ. And in turn we learn how that compassion reaches out to those ar...

Getting outside of our comfort zone is not always appealing to us. We like to stay in places where things are familiar and recognizable. But what about when God calls us out of our comfort zone in our daily living? How do we walk that out on our journey as Christ-followers? We can be grateful that God doesn't call us to do this on our own. In the continuing of our sermon series, Story of Scripture...

As we have been learning about the structure of the Bible through our Story of Scripture sermon series, we have come to the place where we are between the Old Testament and the New Testament. What a pertinent place to be! However, we see that God is silent. Why? How are His people supposed to move forward, learn and grow in these years of silence? As always, the Lord does not leave His people. He...
