Dads, your voice is louder than you might realize. You have a powerful influence in the lives of your children. Use your influence wisely!

Many of us Christians have over complicated what it means to be a local church. We need to get back to the basics in order to be effective.

As we move into year 12, and beyond, what is God’s vision for Hope Community Church?

There’s a reason God created you. He brought you into this world to fulfill a specific role. You have been called by God to do something that only you can do. Believe it or not, discovering God’s calling can be easy. Embracing God’s calling is where we struggle.

Guest Speaker Joyce Parcell shares a special Mother's Day message.

It’s not that difficult to understand. You may have heard that there are many ways to interpret the Bible. The truth is, there’s only one way to interpret it correctly, and it isn’t that difficult.

There’s no secret conspiracy. We know how we got the Bible. The process of how the individual books were canonized is well documented.

It’s not that mysterious. The Bible tells us what it is. We just need to determine whether or not the claims the Bible makes about itself are worth believing.

Special guest Pastor John Clifford shares his vision of hope for Chester, and beyond.

The resurrection of Jesus validates everything He said and did. We can trust that His perfect kingdom will come one day. In the meantime, we are the kingdom!

On the Friday of the Passover celebration, Jesus performed His greatest miracle of all time.

Over the course of the past 2,000 years, people have wanted Jesus to be something that He is not. Who do you want Jesus to be?

The Israelites wanted Jesus to rescue them from a corrupt government, but Jesus had a much bigger agenda.

Being able to extend grace and forgiveness to one another is a gift from God. When we empty ourselves of self-righteousness and anger, we can be filled with God’s peace and contentment.

The most often repeated teaching of Jesus is simply, “Love one another.” The difficulty lies in how we actually live out this teaching. Becoming unoffendable makes us more capable of following this primary teaching of Jesus.

Expressing outrage over an injustice is not the same as doing something to resolve the injustice. In fact, our outrage over injustice can be quite counterproductive if we actually desire to create justice.

You probably wouldn’t be surprised to learn that holding on to anger is bad for your physical health. What you may find surprising is the correlation between anger and a lack of trust in God.

We often find ourselves completely shocked, or even outraged, when humans act like … humans. However, when we embrace the truth about human nature, we are far less likely to allow the behaviors of others to surprise or enrage us.

Many of us Christians seem to believe that we are entitled to our anger, as long as it is “righteous anger.” But where does that belief come from? Is there anything recorded in the Bible that would lead us to believe that anger can be a good thing?

How have you wronged the person who wronged you? Can you identify your share of the blame pie?
