One Hope Community Church

As we head into a new year and reflect on our hopes & dreams to grow and change, Andrew challenges us to consider 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12, and how we resolve to live lives for God's glory, not our own.

If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, then our faith is futile. Bill Bosker takes us through 1 Corinthians 15:12-34, which fill us with confidence and assurance in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, all central to our strong hope.

Often a new year carries much excitement, but also a fair bit of nerves. Glenn takes us through Matthew 6, and how we can trust in our heavenly Father as we head into a new year, and not be filled with worry.

We celebrate Christmas Day by focusing on the gift of Jesus Christ, the one we have truly been waiting for! We read from John 1 and explore what it means to anticipate and receive the Gift of all Gifts!

We are all waiting for something. Even in faith, we find ourselves waiting for God to fulfil His promises and ultimately waiting for Jesus to return, ending all sin & suffering, ushering in His complete perfection. So the big question: how do we wait faithfully? We look at Luke 2, to the example of Simeon & Anna, and see how we can wait faithfully for our coming King.

In the Old Testament, we see God promise a Messiah, and then go years and years without talking to His people through the prophets. What do we do when God seems silent? Andrew takes us through the Bible, and encourages us hold on to the truth even when God seems silent.

We celebrate a special service, as our Children's Ministry lead us in different songs, activities, readings, reflections, dramas, and videos! Glenn brings it all together, exploring the gifts that the wise men bring to Jesus, and what they mean for us today.

We kick off our advent series, looking at the end of the Old Testament narrative, exploring the state of exile. We are reminded that though we are in exile, the King still lives, which gives us hope of return to God's perfect Kingdom.
