We Are Hope Church

Lei continues our advent series from Matthew 2 verses 1 - 12 showing us that true joy is planted internally and eternally. She challenged us to get intimate with God if we have lost the eternal joy of salvation, by reading His Word, spending time in prayer, talking to Him daily and sharing stories and filling each others 'joy tanks' up.

Brian Heasley speaks to us on the second Sunday in Advent from Matthew 2 verses 1 - 11, asking us to consider the gifts the Magi gave to Jesus: Gold - given to kings Frankincense - a sweet smelling resin used in worship Myrrh - an ointment used in burial They gave gifts, bowed down and worshipped the Ultimiate Gift, Jesus. Let's bow down and worship and say 'Thank you for Your gift of love'.

Joey Little speaks to us on the first Sunday in Advent from Matthew 2 verses 1-2, 11 asking us to consider what The Magi tell us about Jesus. In a world of 16,000 different people group our challenge is how desperate are we to share Jesus. God gave His best in sending His Son, are we willing to give our best?

The impact will be a communi...

Jonathan Armstrong from Diss Baptist Church talks to us about Paul's third missionary journey when he stopped at Troas from Acts 20 verses 7 - 12. The ordinary takes place in a gathering of believers The ordinary uses means of grace - The Bible: read, sing, pray & preach - Pray -The Lord's Supper & Holy Communion The ordinary is often despised The ordinary is foundation for something extra...

Sam talks from 1 Corintians 1 verses 8 - 9: God’s Faithfulness Is Defined in His Character. Faithfulness is not just what God does; it’s who He is. God will never fail, never break trust, and never abandon us. God’s Faithfulness Depends on God. If God’s faithfulness flows from His very nature, then it isn’t dependent on us. God doesn’t operate in contracts; ones written with clauses. He operates i...

We are encouraged when hard things happen to stay close to Jesus - Mary...

John McGinley speaks to us from Acts 19: 1 - 12 when Paul went to Ephesus and instead of following a well-worn strategy, he followed the Holy Spirit direction instead.

Our challenges: Put Jesus in His rightful place as our Lord To be filled with the Holy Spirit Healing, we have been set f...

Sam concludes our series from the book The God Story looking at Acts 3 when Peter and John heals the lame man at the Beautiful Gate.

Don't close the book, keep playing our part.

Steve speaks on the penultimate chapter of The God Story from Revelation 5. In a world that is fighting for our attention on social media, TV and the internet we have a survival guide in the book of Revelation. The seven churches John sent letters to faced the same pressures we face today. In a world full of lions, follow the Lamb.

Sam continues with our series The God Story looking at The Church. He shows us from Acts 10 in the story of Peter meeting Cornelius, that church isn’t supposed to look like us but like God. God cares about our heart not our race, position or appearance. We are challenged to check our heart, choose welcome over comfort, declare Jesus clearly and invest, don’t just inform.

Adrian continues with our The God Story series looking at when Jesus started His ministry on earth.

Steve continues after the summer break with The God Story series. After 400 years of silence from God, the waiting is over with the cry of a baby. Often we experience periods of waiting, but it's about how we respond. God wrote Himself into our story so He could write us into His.

Will you trust and obey God? This week, Sam continues our journey through The God Story by diving into the life of Abraham—a man who responded to God’s call with bold obedience. Through Abraham’s story, we’re reminded that God is still calling His people today. The question is: will we answer with the same trust and obedience?

Ben speaks from 1 Peter 1 verses 1 - 9: Love like you're different Live like you love Live like there's joy

Diane Dukes talks about how being compassionate comes from an intentional emotion which leads to taking action. We are called to imitate Christ, who gave the ultimate act of compassion by dying on the cross for us. Diane asks us, what moves us emotionally and challenges us to take action, it can not only help someone but it can improve our own wellbeing.

Sam challenges us about serving with a deep commitment to God and the church, it's not an add-on, it's about a relationship out-worked, out of Christian unity. We are to love God first then love others - out of our love for God, flows our love for others. Our serving should be saturated in humilty. Jesus went low to raise others up and the same should be for us. Let's jump into the flow of serving...
