We jump back into the Book of Luke as we explore the Gospel and how it speaks into our culture and the challenges we face today. In this series we explore the temptations that Jesus faced. Scripture reminds us that as He faced them, He never gave in. How do you and I follow His example and stand in the face of temptations as well? Join us for our newest Sermon series.

We jump back into the Book of Luke as we explore the Gospel and how it speaks into our culture and the challenges we face today. In this first sermon of the series, we explore the theme of repentance and what it really means and how we live it out in our daily lives.

One way to solve a dilemma or when you are between a rock and a hard place is to look for the third way. There are times in our life when we have two options in front of us and neither of them looks appealing, in times like that we think there has got to be another option. When we see the contemporary issues around our day, we may sometimes feel like we have to either be compassionate or compromis...

In this "new normal" where social distancing is the norm, we've had to redefine many of the ways we interact with each other. One of the casualties of this redefinition is our effort to have community with each other. However, the need for community has never been greater. A foundational part of our Christian walk is to be in community with each other regardless of the conditions around us. Listen...

While events and circumstances around us may seem chaotic and disheartening, we are often left questioning how we ought to respond. Scripture reminds us that our primary response ought to be prayer. Join us as we look closely at the role of prayer in the life of a Christ-follower.

With 2020 in the rearview mirror, we look forward to what 2021 will bring us. As we start this year, we will take some time to consider the foundations of our Christian life this year. Join us this week as we examine our relationship with God's word.

The Christmas story tells us of the steps of faith that Mary had to take. It was a great unknown what her life would look like if all that God told her would come true. When God calls His people, it is into such steps of faith that He calls them. What are the steps of faith that you are called to? Join us as we consider what God is calling us to do.

What is your greatest need? As we come to the Christmas season, we often think about the things we want and need. But if we're honest with ourselves, none of these address our greatest need. God sent His Son to this earth to address a need that we all have. Join us as we explore what this need is and how God resolves it.

As we enter the Advent season, we reflect on the people of Israel as the expectantly waited on God for the arrival of the Messiah. This Advent season, follow this journey with us in the book of Luke.

We’ve all been in situations where we did something that we thought deserved more thanks from someone else. In the end, the person who didn’t show gratitude lost an opportunity for a deeper relationship. How does this look like as we examine our relationship with Jesus? Should we be motivated by the healing process or the healer? Is our cry for help louder than our shout of praise?

Have you ever gone online to a website or an app to do something useful - Reserve a table, research information, or check something for work? But one link comes another and 30 minutes or an hour passes and you could not remember why you picked up your phone in the first place? Whenever this happens to us, it is a reminder that technology can either be used as a tool to experience long-term joy or...

While technology does a wonderful job of connecting us to those around us, it unfortunately allows us to stay disconnected from each other as well. In other words, technology helps us connect with those who have similar interests and worldviews as our own. This ability enables us to filter out ideas and views that differ from our own and as an extension, the people that have those ideas and views....

All of us are designed to be in relationship with each other. This is what makes us human. However, as digital technology and communication advances there is less and less need and opportunity to interact with people in person. We have the ability to hide those parts we don’t want seen by other people like never before. Therefore more people know less about us and we aren't really known to anyone....

It's no secret that our world runs on technology. In some way, shape or form we are all involved in the digital world. Whether it be for work, school or to keep in touch with loved ones far away, we all depend on technology in our lives. This year in particular, we may feel this more than ever before! Technology certainly has its place. But what about when it is out of place? What about when it be...

Sometimes when we look around our community and our world, we may find it difficult to believe that we can be a part of God's work to draw others to Him. But despite how difficult it may seem, God, through His Word, calls each and every one of us to be a part of His work. This week Sarah Malcolm, one of our GO Partners, challenges us to be engage in God's mission of spreading His gospel to the wor...

At Mount Hope, what excites us most is to see people responding to Jesus, locally and globally. This last year was an eventful year for all of us, especially our Global Outreach Partners. While everything seems to have sutdown with the spread of COVID-19, the work of our Partners kept growing stronger. Join us as we celebrate with them and hear their stories.

The longer you and I are Christ followers, we realize that more of our relationships are more Christian than not. We often surround ourselves with people who are also Christ-followers. While this is a good thing, the challenge then is that we do not have non-Christ-followers around us. If we are called to introduce other to Jesus, then we ought to have people in our lives who aren't like us. So ho...

We love stories where people go out of their way to help someone else. Whether it is pulling over on the side of the road to help someone stranded, or an athlete who slows down in the middle of an event to help out a injured competitor, or someone who gives away all their wealth to benefit those around them. We love these stories because it is not the norm. These are stories of great people doing...

Have you ever received the perfect gift? Who was it that gave it to you? More often than not, the person who gave us the perfect gift was able to do so because they knew you well. For us to love our neighbors we have to know them and see them clearly. So how do you and I see those around us clearly?

We are called to give an answer to anyone who asks us about our faith. How do people know to ask those questions? We certainly don't walk around with a billboard claiming that we are Christians. So how do people who do not follow or even know Jesus know to ask those questions of us? Join us as in our Sermon Series "Love Your Neighbor" as we tackle this question.

In a culture where we enjoy our circles and cliques, we end up being divided. And when we're divided, we become distrusting and fearful of those outside of our circles. While this is a inescapable reality in our world, it shouldn't be so within the church. How do you and I deal with our differences and the "others" within our churches? Join us for our last segment of our One Another Series.

There is much hurt when we are wronged by a brother or sister who is also a Christ-follower. When we experience such pain, we are often tempted to walk away from the relationship, be vengeful, or even hurt the person back. After all, the cancel-culture within society and the church is at it peak. Within the wake of all the responses back and forth, we are left wondering if this is the right way fo...

Every person who has ever been in a relationship of any sort: personal, emotional, professional, friendship and such, have experienced the inevitable sorrow of being let down in some way. As humans, it is in our nature to not always live up to the standards we have for one another. And when we experience this sort of failure or let-down, we are often hurt by it. This is even more hurtful when such...
