        <![CDATA[<p>Faith can sound convincing in words, but James asks a deeper question: is it alive? In this message, we explore the difference between claimed faith and living faith, the kind of faith that produces mercy, obedience, surrender, and love. From Abraham to Rahab, James shows us that real faith is not perfect, but it is visible. If faith alone saves, what does living faith actually look like?</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna,” expecting a Savior who would conquer their enemies—but what Jesus came to do was far greater. As He rode humbly into Jerusalem, He wasn’t heading for a throne, but a cross…on purpose. This message invites you to wrestle with the question: what if Jesus is not who we expected, but exactly who we need? Discover the depth of His love and the joy that carried Him all the way to the cross—for you.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna,” expecting a Savior who would conquer their enemies—but what Jesus came to do was far greater. As He rode humbly into Jerusalem, He wasn’t heading for a throne, but a cross…on purpose. This message invites you to wrestle with the question: what if Jesus is not who we expected, but exactly who we need? Discover the depth of His love and the joy that carried Him all the way to the cross—for you.</p>]]>

God allows divorce for any and every reason.</p><p>The culture in Jesus’ time sounded something like this about marriage:</p><p>Marriage is a contract that can be easily broken whenever men don’t feel served or pleased by it anymore.</p><p>Jesus responds to the Pharisees trying to trap Him on the issue of divorce.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Matt%2019.4-6">Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV)<br></a><br></p><p>Jesus’ answer points to two different Scriptures on why marriage is important.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Gen%201.27">Genesis 1:27 (ESV)<br></a><br></p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Gen%202.24">Genesis 2:24</a> (BSB)</p><p>God unites the man and woman into ONE FLESH, one spiritually inseparable unit, to reflect God’s goodness to the world around us.</p><p>Why is marriage so important? </p><p>Jesus says marriage is NOT a contract but a COVENANT.</p><p>Covenant: A spiritually-binding oath between God and His people.</p><p>The common view of marriage in Jesus time:</p><p>Marriage is a contract that can be easily broken whenever men don’t feel served or pleased by it anymore.</p><p>Jesus’ view of marriage:</p><p>Marriage is a covenant that cannot be broken without doing a lot of damage because marriage is a covenant designed to show the world what God looks like.</p><p>Marriage is uniquely designed to show the world what God’s never-ending, never-quitting love and commitment look like.</p><p>Married people should be able to swap their names for the end of the verse in <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Rom%208.38-39">Romans 8:38-39</a>.</p><p>“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate (name) from the love of (spouse’s name).”</p><p>Marriage is designed to show the world what God’s never-ending, never-quitting love and commitment look like. </p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><strong>Helpful Links:</strong></p><p><br></p><p>For family resources, visit <a href="https://gethope.net/familyministry/#resources">https://gethope.net/familyministry/#resources</a> </p><p><br></p><p>If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: <a href="https://gethope.net/next/">https://gethope.net/next/</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: <a href="https://gethope.net/enews/">https://gethope.net/enews/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to Family Conversations for weekly prompts and resources: <a href="https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnePageReg/2451">https://touchpoint.gethope.net/OnePageReg/2451</a></p><p><br></p><p>To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: <a href="https://gethope.net/give/">https://gethope.net/give/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to our channel: <a href="https://bit.ly/2XBbBxq">https://bit.ly/2XBbBxq</a></p><p><br></p><p>Stay Connected with Hope:</p><p>Website: https://gethope.net/</p><p>Hope Community Church Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/">https://www.facebook.com/</a>gethopecommunitychurch </p><p>Hope Community Church Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/">https://www.instagram.com/</a>get_hope/</p><p>Hope Community Church Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/get_hope">https://twitter.com/get_hope</a></p><p>Hope Community Church YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/c/">https://youtube.com/c/</a>HopeCommunityChurch</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to Our Podcast - Hope In Real Life YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/">https://www.youtube.com/</a>@HopeInRealLife</p><p><br></p><p>Hope In Real Life Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1">https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1</a></p><p><br></p><p>Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4</a></p><p><br></p>]]>

      <itunes:summary>Jesus was a master of noticing needs. He saw the hurting, the helpless, the people everyone else seemed to overlook—but He didn't just see them, He did something about them. The more you look around, the more you'll notice that needs are everywhere. You can find them where you live, learn, work, and play. Seeing the needs, serving the needs, and sharing God's love while we do it is more than a weekend sermon—it should be a way of life. Hear from Chase Gardner and Ayren Nelson about how YOU can be “hope for” your community.</itunes:summary>

        <![CDATA[<p>Worship is simply a statement of the things you assign value to. It’s more than a song. It’s more than one day a week. Worship is a lifestyle.

Therefore, God doesn’t exist.</p><p> </p><p>When we see evil and suffering, something inside of us screams that this isn’t right, and we question why doesn’t God fix this?</p><p>         We opened the door to what sin brings into the world through our free will.</p><p> </p><p>God leads Habakkuk on a journey to better understand suffering.</p><p>         - God lifts Habakkuk’s eyes upwards to Himself.</p><p>                   Habakkuk 1:5-6 (ESV)</p><p>                   Isaiah 45:6b-7 (ESV)</p><p>                   Exodus 4:11 (ESV)</p><p>                   Psalm 135:5-6 (ESV)</p><p>                   Isaiah 45:9 (ESV) </p><p> </p><p>“In seventy years we can develop a host of ideas about how indifferent God appears to be about suffering. But is it reasonable to judge God and his plan for the universe by the swatch of time we spend on earth? Have we missed the perspective of the timelessness of the universe?… Who would complain if God allowed one hour of suffering in an entire lifetime of comfort? Yet we bitterly complain about a lifetime that includes suffering when that lifetime is a mere hour of eternity. Next time you want to cry out to God in anguished despair, blaming him for a miserable world, remember: less than one-millionth of the evidence has been presented…” — Philip Yancey</p><p> </p><p>         - Habakkuk looks back to the history of God’s faithfulness in the Old Testament. </p><p>         We have to look back to the cross.</p><p>                   All doubts about the Father are silenced in the Son.</p><p> </p><p>“For whatever reason God chose to make man as he is - limited and suffering and subject to sorrows and death - He had the honesty and courage to take his own medicine. Whatever game he is playing with his creation, he has kept his own rules and played fair.” – Dorothy Sayers</p><p> </p><p>         - God points Habakkuk’s attention forwards.</p><p>                   Habakkuk 2:3 (NLT)</p><p>                   Evil people will not go unpunished, and there is a real place called Hell.</p><p>                   We will understand suffering as a whole and on an individual level at the final judgement.</p><p>                   Heaven will be a compensation for all the pain and suffering.</p><p>                   Romans 8:18 (ESV)</p><p>                   Heaven will be a justification for our suffering.</p><p>                   2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (NIV)</p><p> </p><p>Habakkuk 2:4 (KJV) “The just shall live by faith.”</p><p><br>---<br>For more information about our Hope Where You Are campaign, visit <a href="https://gethope.net/hope-where-you-are/">https://gethope.net/hwya/</a></p><p> </p><p>If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: <a href="https://gethope.net/next/">https://gethope.net/next/</a></p><p> </p><p>If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond here: <a href="https://bit.ly/3aWvIZN">https://bit.ly/3aWvIZN</a></p><p> </p><p>To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: <a href="https://gethope.net/give/">https://gethope.net/give/</a></p><p> </p><p>Subscribe to receive our latest messages: <a href="https://bit.ly/2XBbBxq">https://bit.ly/2XBbBxq</a></p><p> </p><p>Stay Connected with Hope:</p><p>Website: https://gethope.net/</p><p>Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurch</p><p>Hope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/ </p><p>Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hope</p><p>Hope Community Church YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurch">https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurch</a></p>]]>

In this sermon, Chase Gardner will reveal that, instead, we only play a minor role in God’s greater story.</p><p>Message Notes:<br>We believe that we are the main character in a story that is all about us.</p><p> </p><p>We are minor characters in a story that is all about Jesus.</p><p> </p><p>Paul writes in the book of Colossians about who Jesus is and our role in His story.</p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%201%3A15&amp;version=ESV">Colossians 1:15 (ESV)</a> “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.”</p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+1%3A16&amp;version=ESV">Colossians 1:16 (ESV)</a> “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him and for him.”</p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+1%3A17&amp;version=ESV">Colossians 1:17 (ESV)</a> “And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”</p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+1%3A18&amp;version=ESV">Colossians 1:18 (ESV)</a> “And he is the head of the body, the church.

By evading the topic, we miss out on an amazing gift God has given to us as Christians. The Holy Spirit acts as our teacher, guide and advocate.</p><ul><li><strong>The Holy Spirit is given to us as Christians as a gift, and He teaches us God’s truth.</strong></li></ul><p>The Bible mentions the Holy Spirit more than 800 times.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/nlt/Gen%201.2">Genesis 1:2 (NLT)<br></a><br></p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/nlt/Job%2033.4">Job 33:4 (NLT)</a>  </p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/nlt/John%2016.5-7">John 16:5-7 (NLT)<br></a><br></p><p>We need a Biblical understanding of who exactly the Holy Spirit is.</p><p>1st – The Holy Spirit is a person.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2014.16-17">John 14:16-17 (NIV)</a>  “…he lives with you and will be in you.”</p><p>2nd – The Holy Spirit is God.</p><p>Francis Chan said, “While these serve as cute metaphors for an unexplainable mystery, the fact is that God is not like an egg, a three-leaf clover, or the three forms of water. God is not like anything. He is incomprehensible, incomparable, and unlike any other being. He is outside our realm of existence and, thus, outside our ability to categorize him. While analogies may be helpful in understanding certain aspects of him, let’s be careful not to think that our analogies in any way encapsulate his nature.”</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/nlt/Gen%201.26">Genesis 1:26 (NLT)<br></a><br></p><p>3rd – The Holy Spirit is eternal and holy.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2014.16-17">John 14:16-17 (NIV)</a>  One God – coequal, coexisting and eternal</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2014.16-17">John 14:16-17 (NIV)<br></a><br></p><p>The Holy Spirit teaches me God’s truth.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/nlt/John%2014.26">John 14:26 (NLT)<br></a><br></p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/nlt/1%20John%202.27">1 John 2:27 (NLT)<br></a><br></p><p>This is an example of how to read/study the Bible:</p><p>1. Ask God to teach you.</p><p>2. Read the passage.</p><p>3. What does it say?</p><p>4. Why is this important?</p><p>5. What do I need to do?</p><p>The Holy Spirit makes me like Jesus.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/nlt/Eph%204.21-24">Ephesians 4:21-24 (NLT)<br></a><br></p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/nlt/Jer%2029.13">Jeremiah 29:13 (NLT)</a>  We will find God if we look for Him.</p>]]>

We’ll help answer these questions by studying:</p><ol><li>The history of Elijah’s time.</li><li>Who Elijah was.</li><li>Three lessons we can learn from the life of Elijah.</li></ol><ul><li><strong>The history of Elijah’s time shows how courageous and extraordinary he was. </strong></li></ul><p>After Solomon died, there was a civil war that divided the country into the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and the Southern Kingdom (Judah).</p><p>There are 19 kings in the Israel and all were evil. There were 17 kings in Judah with 9 wicked and 8 good. Elijah lived in the days of the Northern Kingdom.

(<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Jer%209.23-24">Jeremiah 9:23-24</a>)</p><p>God will never give an unjust judgment to any person.</p><p>“Would God send someone to hell who has never heard the gospel?” (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2014.6">John 14:6</a>)</p><ul><li><strong>Understanding the condition of mankind is necessary.</strong></li></ul><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Rom%201.16-18">Romans 1:16-18</a>  Paul speaks about the how the gospel is the power of God, and it’s for everyone. </p><p>Paul used two Greek words to describe the wrath of God:</p><p>“thumos” – “to breath violently – to pant with a temper, anger.”</p><p>“orga” – “God’s holy aversion to all that is evil.”</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Rom%201.18">Romans 1:18</a>  God considers people who see the truth of His existence and turn their backs on it as ungodly.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Rom%201.19">Romans 1:19</a>  God makes this obvious to people and puts the evidence of His truth in the conscience of everyone.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Rom%201.20">Romans 1:20</a>  The evidence of God is all around in nature, and people have no excuse not to believe in Him.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2019.1">Psalm 19:1</a>  The heavens and skies tell of God’s existence.</p><p>Every person who seeks God will find God.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Home – Week Two<br></strong><br></p><p>This series is so necessary for us right now because of the upheaval and chaotic times in which we live. We face crises of health, race, economic concerns and political uncertainty. In this state, we long for the feeling and comfort of “home.” To better understand how to find that feeling, we’ll examine: </p><ol><li>How God wants you to enjoy your life.</li><li>Three things that are keeping you from experiencing joy.</li><li>How you can strive for joy in life.</li></ol><ul><li><strong>God wants you to enjoy your life; and if you’re not, there’s a blockage somewhere.</strong></li></ul><p>Paul wrote from prison that you can have joy even in hard times, persecution and suffering.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Pet%201.8">1 Peter 1:8</a> – Even without seeing, you believe and are filled with love and joy.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Eccles%203.12-13">Ecclesiastes 3:12-13</a> – There is nothing better than to be happy, to do good and to find joy in hardship.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2015.11">John 15:11</a> – Jesus wants the joy of God to remain in His people.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Gal%205.22-23">Galatians 5:22-23</a> – Joy is part of the fruit of the Spirit, which is from the Holy Spirit.</p><ul><li><strong>If we’re not experiencing joy, what’s preventing it?</strong></li></ul><p>1st – Actions</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Acts%208.9-24">Acts 8:9-24</a> – The story of Simon, a man who practiced sorcery, teaches us how sin can </p><p>hold us captive and keep us from experiencing joy in our lives.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Acts%208.23">Acts 8:23</a> – Peter makes the statement that Simon is full of bitterness and captive to sin.</p><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/2%20Cor%205.17">2 Corinthians 5:17</a> – We’ve become new creations in Jesus.</p><p>There are sins that might be holding you captive:</p><p>1. Outbursts of Anger</p><p>2. Severe Rejection</p><p>3. Irrational Fear</p><p>4. Sexual Sin</p><p>5. Pride</p><p>6. Lying</p><p>David is a great example of this. In a matter of days, he commits adultery and murder, which was totally out of his character. After his confession, he asks God to restore the joy of God’s salvation to him.

Sidlow Baxter said, “We cannot read 2 Kings without thinking of Solomon’s proverb, “The way of transgressors is hard.”  Paul’s words, “The wages of sin is death,” is here demonstrated on a national scale in clearly declared terms of poetic justice for all to see and heed.  Sinning, despite warning, brings ruin without remedy.  Inexcusable wrong brings inescapable wrath.  Abused privilege incurs increased penalty.  The deeper the guilt, the heavier the stroke.  Correction may be resisted, but retribution cannot be evaded.  All these thoughts crowd in our mind when we read 2 Kings as we see the battered, broken tribes of Israel and Judah dragged behind the chariots of their heathen conquerors.  We surely cannot fail to see the central message of the book, “Willful sin brings a willful end.”</p><p>Could we be modern day prophets warning our country to return to God?</p><p>1.  If you are a Christian and you love your neighbor, you will wear a mask.</p><p>2.  If you are a Christian and you love your neighbor, you will share the gospel.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Ten: Week Ten</strong></p><p>The Tenth Commandment – Contentment</p><p>God gave us the Ten Commandments to teach us about relationships, relationships with Him and with other people. We’ll study this tenth commandment by examining: </p><ol><li>The Principle of Contentment and the question of what is coveting.</li><li>Three suggestions to battle the temptation to covet.</li><li>The question of what’s the answer to being content.</li></ol><ul><li><strong>In the Tenth Commandment, God gives us the Principle of Contentment, but what is coveting? </strong></li></ul><p>In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Exod%2020.17">Exodus 20:17</a>, God warns us not to covet, which brings us to the Principle of Contentment. The only reason we covet what someone else has is because we’re not content with what we have.</p><p>What is coveting?</p><p>– <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Deut%205.21">Deuteronomy 5:21</a> restates the commandment not to covet and adds the phrase, “set  your desire.” Covet means, “to strongly desire.”</p><p>– Here are some verses that warn against coveting:</p><p>  1. In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Luke%2012.15">Luke 12:15</a>, Jesus says to beware of coveting.</p><p>  2. In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Cor%205.11">1 Corinthians 5:11</a>, covetousness is listed in a group of some serious sins.</p><p>  3. In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Col%203.5">Colossians 3:5</a>, covetousness is equated with idolatry. When the desire for something or someone replaces God or is put above God, it’s idolatry. </p><p>– God isn’t saying it’s wrong to desire. He’s saying it’s wrong to strongly desire what belongs to someone else because it will become an idol.</p><ul><li><strong>Here are some suggestions that can help us battle the temptation to covet.</strong></li></ul><p>1. Learn to admire without the desire to acquire.</p><p>    – Discontentment is an appetite that’s never fully satisfied.</p><p>2. Make a confession about your obsession.</p><p>    – Paul tells us in <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Tim%206.8">1 Timothy 6:8</a> to be content with all our blessings. More than anything, our blessings include forgiveness.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Tim%206.7">1 Timothy 6:7</a>, Paul reminds us that we start with zero, and we end with zero.</p><p>    – <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%20139.16">Psalm 139:16</a> tells us that all our days have been ordained. </p><p>3. Turn your resentment into contentment.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Phil%204.12">Philippians 4:12</a>, Paul tells us that he knows what it’s like to have plenty and to be in need. Regardless of the situation, Paul always found contentment. </p><ul><li><strong>What’s the answer to being content?</strong></li></ul><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2037.4">Psalm 37:4</a> tells us to delight in the Lord, and the Lord will give us the desires of our heart. </p><p>How do you get your desires right so you can delight?</p><p>    – David refers to those who are evil or wicked 14 times in this Psalm. He explains that when it feels like evil is winning, you have to learn to trust God.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2037.3-4">Psalm 37:3-4</a>, David says that if you’ll learn to be content with what God has provided for you, you won’t focus on what’s going on around you.</p><p>Most people think <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2037.3-4">Psalm 37:3-4</a> means that if you’ll follow Jesus, He’ll give you whatever you want, but that’s not correct. Rather, it’s that if you’ll follow Jesus, He will put the right desires in your heart.</p><p>If we passionately pursue God, we will be passionate about the right things.</p>]]>

Make a confession about your obsession.</p><p>    – Paul tells us in <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Tim%206.8">1 Timothy 6:8</a> to be content with all our blessings. More than anything, our blessings include forgiveness.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Tim%206.7">1 Timothy 6:7</a>, Paul reminds us that we start with zero, and we end with zero.</p><p>    – <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%20139.16">Psalm 139:16</a> tells us that all our days have been ordained. </p><p>3. Turn your resentment into contentment.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Phil%204.12">Philippians 4:12</a>, Paul tells us that he knows what it’s like to have plenty and to be in need. Regardless of the situation, Paul always found contentment. </p><ul><li><strong>What’s the answer to being content?</strong></li></ul><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2037.4">Psalm 37:4</a> tells us to delight in the Lord, and the Lord will give us the desires of our heart. </p><p>How do you get your desires right so you can delight?</p><p>    – David refers to those who are evil or wicked 14 times in this Psalm. He explains that when it feels like evil is winning, you have to learn to trust God.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2037.3-4">Psalm 37:3-4</a>, David says that if you’ll learn to be content with what God has provided for you, you won’t focus on what’s going on around you.</p><p>Most people think <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2037.3-4">Psalm 37:3-4</a> means that if you’ll follow Jesus, He’ll give you whatever you want, but that’s not correct. Rather, it’s that if you’ll follow Jesus, He will put the right desires in your heart.</p><p>If we passionately pursue God, we will be passionate about the right things.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Ten: Week Nine<br></strong>The Ninth Commandment – Honesty</p><p>God gave us the Ten Commandments to teach us about relationships, relationships with Him and with other people.  We’ll study this ninth commandment by examining: </p><ol><li>What the Ninth Commandment is and the Principle of Honesty.</li><li>Three simple ways to develop honesty in you life.</li><li>Four transformational truths.</li></ol><ul><li><strong>In the Ninth Commandment, God tells us that “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor,” which brings us to the Principle of Honesty. </strong></li></ul><p>In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Exod%2020.16">Exodus 20:16</a>, God warns us not to lie, but there are a few things we need to understand about this commandment.</p><p>  1st – When the Bible talks about your neighbor, it’s not talking about the person living beside you. Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan and explains that your neighbor is anyone you come in contact with. (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Luke%2010.27">Luke 10:27</a>, <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Luke%2010.29">29</a>)</p><p>2nd – God gave these commandments to help the Israelites understand what a civilized society looked like. This is a society governed by moral laws, and morality is not subjective.</p><p>3rd – The Ninth Commandment is actually a legal commandment, “Don’t perjure  yourself.”</p><p>The principle behind this commandment is the Principle of Honesty.</p><ul><li><strong>There are three simple ways to develop honesty in your life.</strong></li></ul><p>1. Learn to be honest with yourself.</p><p>    – Dishonest people are dishonest.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%208.32-33">John 8:32-33</a>, Jesus explains that the truth will set you free.</p><p>    – God cannot help you if you can’t be honest about yourself.</p><p>2. Learn to be honest with others.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/James%205.16">James 5:16</a>, God takes the idea of honesty beyond just Him to include confessing to others. There’s a humility and accountability that comes along with confession.</p><p>    – Confession forces us to bring what we’re dealing with out of the darkness into the light.</p><p>    – There are two types of people in life: Those who are wise and those who are foolish. A wise person takes correction. A foolish person makes excuses. (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Prov%209.8">Proverbs 9:8</a>)</p><p>    – Start being honest with people.</p><p>3. Learn to be honest with God.</p><p>    – In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2032.1-5">Psalm 32:1-5</a>, David says, “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven…” He explains how sin weighed him down, but forgiveness is freeing.</p><p>    – When you’re dishonest, there’s deceit in your spirit. (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Ps%2032.2">Psalm 32:2</a>)</p><p>    – When you lie, you link or align yourself with Satan. (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%208.44">John 8:44</a>) But in <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2016.13">John 16:13</a>, Jesus tells the disciples that the Holy Spirit will guide them into all truth.</p><ul><li><strong>Here are four transformational truths that can set your life free.</strong></li></ul><p>In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%208.32">John 8:32</a>, Jesus says, “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”</p><ol><li>We are all sinners.</li><li>One day our sins will be uncovered.</li><li>We will all face a forever.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Ten: Week Seven<br></strong><br></p><p>The Seventh Commandment – Intimacy</p><p>God gave us the Ten Commandments to teach us about relationships, relationships with Him and with other people.  We’ll study this seventh commandment by examining: </p><ol><li>What the Seventh Commandment is and The Principle of Intimacy.</li><li>How we get to adultery and how lust affects our lives.</li><li>Some suggestions to keep us from adultery and the Ten Commitments of Marriage.</li></ol><ul><li><strong>In the Seventh Commandment, God tells us that “You shall not commit adultery,” which brings us to The Principle of Intimacy. </strong></li></ul><p>In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Exod%2020.14">Exodus 20:14</a>, God warns us to not commit adultery, and the principle behind this commandment is The Principle of Intimacy, which helps us understand how to have intimacy with God and with our spouses.</p><p>God created sex as a way to enjoy the pleasure and intimacy of marriage.</p><p>Because of how sex can be abused, God warns us to flee from sexual immorality because it is a sin against ourselves. (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Cor%206.18">1 Corinthians 6:18</a>, <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Exod%2020.14">Exodus 20:14</a>)</p><ul><li><strong>There is a process in getting to adultery, and the impact of lust greatly affects our lives.</strong></li></ul><p>Lust precedes adultery.</p><p>The word for lust is also used in the Bible with the meaning, “to have a passion for other things.”</p><p>What are the negative impacts of lust in our lives?</p><p>1st – Lust affects your relationship with God.</p><p>The Bible uses different words for sin: transgression (action), iniquity (inward motivation). </p><p>2nd – Lust affects your relationships with the people in your life.</p><p>“If we love each other, and we’re going to get married anyway, what difference does a </p><p>piece of paper make?” It’s not the marriage license; it’s God’s blessing on your life that makes </p><p>the difference.</p><p>All sexual immorality opens the door to numerous sins (deception, manipulation, lying).</p><p>Looking precedes lust.</p><p>Don’t look at attractive people! (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Gen%2039.6-7">Genesis 39:6-7</a>, <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Matt%205.28">Matthew 5:28</a>, <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Job%2031.1">Job 31:1</a>)</p><ul><li><strong>Here are some suggestions to keep us from adultery, and there are Ten Commitments of Marriage that are helpful to follow.</strong></li></ul><p>1st – Push the clock forward.</p><p>2nd – Recognize your times of vulnerability. </p><p>C.S. Lewis said, “The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-age prosperity are excellent campaigning weather for the devil.”</p><p>3rd – Continue to work on your marriage.</p><p>4th – Obey the Ten Commitments of Marriage. </p><p><strong><em>The Ten Commitments of Marriage<br></em></strong><br></p><p>1. You shall have no other human relationship before your spouse.</p><p>2. Remember to date and keep it fresh.</p><p>3. Remember your anniversary so your life may be long on the earth.</p><p>4.

(<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Cor%206.18">1 Corinthians 6:18</a>, <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Exod%2020.14">Exodus 20:14</a>)</p><ul><li><strong>There is a process in getting to adultery, and the impact of lust greatly affects our lives.</strong></li></ul><p>Lust precedes adultery.</p><p>The word for lust is also used in the Bible with the meaning, “to have a passion for other things.”</p><p>What are the negative impacts of lust in our lives?</p><p>1st – Lust affects your relationship with God.</p><p>The Bible uses different words for sin: transgression (action), iniquity (inward motivation). </p><p>2nd – Lust affects your relationships with the people in your life.</p><p>“If we love each other, and we’re going to get married anyway, what difference does a </p><p>piece of paper make?” It’s not the marriage license; it’s God’s blessing on your life that makes </p><p>the difference.</p><p>All sexual immorality opens the door to numerous sins (deception, manipulation, lying).</p><p>Looking precedes lust.</p><p>Don’t look at attractive people! (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Gen%2039.6-7">Genesis 39:6-7</a>, <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Matt%205.28">Matthew 5:28</a>, <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Job%2031.1">Job 31:1</a>)</p><ul><li><strong>Here are some suggestions to keep us from adultery, and there are Ten Commitments of Marriage that are helpful to follow.</strong></li></ul><p>1st – Push the clock forward.</p><p>2nd – Recognize your times of vulnerability. </p><p>C.S. Lewis said, “The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-age prosperity are excellent campaigning weather for the devil.”</p><p>3rd – Continue to work on your marriage.</p><p>4th – Obey the Ten Commitments of Marriage. </p><p><strong><em>The Ten Commitments of Marriage<br></em></strong><br></p><p>1. You shall have no other human relationship before your spouse.</p><p>2. Remember to date and keep it fresh.</p><p>3. Remember your anniversary so your life may be long on the earth.</p><p>4. You shall not be apathetic toward your marriage.</p><p>5. You shall not search for old sweethearts on Social Media.</p><p>6.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Ten: Week Three<br></strong><br></p><p>The Third Commandment - Humility</p><p>God gave us the 10 Commandments to teach us about relationships, relationships with Him and with other people.

        <![CDATA[<p>God has given us timeless traditions and elements to practice that bring us into a closer relationship with Him.  Being God-centered or having trust is the last in this series.  We will study this truth through questions and key points. </p><ol><li>What would my life look like if God was the center?</li><li>In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Luke%205.1-11">Luke 5:1-11</a>, Jesus teaches His disciples a valuable lesson about trust.</li><li>God will never take anything from us that He doesn’t replace with something better.</li><li>Life can only be experienced to the fullest when we trust in God.</li></ol><ul><li><strong>What would my life look like if God was at the center of every area of my life?  </strong></li></ul><p>Instead of letting God be the center, we often argue with God rather than just trusting Him.</p><p>Sometimes, we get so focused on the risk that we miss the goodness and faithfulness of God.</p><p>What do you want out of life?  Who’s smarter?  Who fulfills those needs better? </p><p>Jesus said in <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2010.10">John 10:10</a>, “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”</p><ul><li><strong>In </strong><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Luke%205.1-11">Luke 5:1-11</a><strong>, Jesus proved His trustworthiness and called His disciples to a different life.</strong> </li></ul><p>Jesus performed a miracle by nearly sinking the boats of the fishermen with such a large catch after they had fished all night with nothing to show for it.</p><p>This is God’s pattern for our lives:</p><p>1.  Jesus gives us evidence of His trustworthiness.</p><p>2.  Then, He asks us to trust in Him.</p><p>3.  We weigh the risks and choose to trust Him or not.</p><p>When God asks us to trust Him, the only thing we’re sure of is what’s in our hand.  But, trust is making the leap without knowing the results. </p><ul><li><strong>God will never take anything from us that He doesn’t replace with something better.</strong></li></ul><p>God waits for us to trust Him and make the first move.</p><p>It’s really not about our stuff or the substitutes we acquire to try and bring fulfillment to our lives; it’s about whether we believe God is trustworthy.</p><ul><li><strong>Life can only be experienced to the fullest when we trust in God.</strong></li></ul><p>You have a loving Heavenly Father who has your best interest in mind.</p><p>To be obedient and follow Him will cost you, but not to obey and follow will cost you far, far more.</p><p>When you choose to trust, your fear will intersect with God’s faithfulness, and you’ll experience God like never before.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>God has given us timeless traditions and elements to practice that bring us into a closer relationship with Him.  Being God-centered or having trust is the last in this series.  We will study this truth through questions and key points. </p><ol><li>What would my life look like if God was the center?</li><li>In <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Luke%205.1-11">Luke 5:1-11</a>, Jesus teaches His disciples a valuable lesson about trust.</li><li>God will never take anything from us that He doesn’t replace with something better.</li><li>Life can only be experienced to the fullest when we trust in God.</li></ol><ul><li><strong>What would my life look like if God was at the center of every area of my life?  </strong></li></ul><p>Instead of letting God be the center, we often argue with God rather than just trusting Him.</p><p>Sometimes, we get so focused on the risk that we miss the goodness and faithfulness of God.</p><p>What do you want out of life?  Who’s smarter?  Who fulfills those needs better? </p><p>Jesus said in <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2010.10">John 10:10</a>, “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”</p><ul><li><strong>In </strong><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Luke%205.1-11">Luke 5:1-11</a><strong>, Jesus proved His trustworthiness and called His disciples to a different life.</strong> </li></ul><p>Jesus performed a miracle by nearly sinking the boats of the fishermen with such a large catch after they had fished all night with nothing to show for it.</p><p>This is God’s pattern for our lives:</p><p>1.  Jesus gives us evidence of His trustworthiness.</p><p>2.  Then, He asks us to trust in Him.</p><p>3.  We weigh the risks and choose to trust Him or not.</p><p>When God asks us to trust Him, the only thing we’re sure of is what’s in our hand.  But, trust is making the leap without knowing the results. </p><ul><li><strong>God will never take anything from us that He doesn’t replace with something better.</strong></li></ul><p>God waits for us to trust Him and make the first move.</p><p>It’s really not about our stuff or the substitutes we acquire to try and bring fulfillment to our lives; it’s about whether we believe God is trustworthy.</p><ul><li><strong>Life can only be experienced to the fullest when we trust in God.</strong></li></ul><p>You have a loving Heavenly Father who has your best interest in mind.</p><p>To be obedient and follow Him will cost you, but not to obey and follow will cost you far, far more.</p><p>When you choose to trust, your fear will intersect with God’s faithfulness, and you’ll experience God like never before.</p>]]>

No one who lives in him keeps on sinning… No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed (or Spirit) remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.”<br></strong><br></p><ul><li>This means that God is actively changing us, and we don’t have to live in habitual sin forever. </li><li>These promises give us Hope.</li></ul><p><a href="https://biblia.com/bible/niv/Phil%201.6">Philippians 1:6</a><strong>  “I am confident of this, that he who  began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of  Christ Jesus.”<br></strong><br></p><p>We are commanded to be baptized because it is a powerful weapon in the battle of belief.</p><p>Baptism grounds us as a reminder of how we died to sin and arose a new creation in Christ.  </p><p>If you are ready to take your next step and be baptized, click <a href="https://gethope.net/baptism/">here</a> to sign up to talk to an area pastor.

Most of us want our public image to look as successful as possible—fun job, exciting social life, comfortable marriage, etc. But, behind the scenes, our lives can be messy and as fragile as a house of cards. One wrong move, and the illusion of that persona falls apart.

How do we stop worrying about our image? How do we start feeling comfortable in our real lives? Join us for our series, House of Cards, as we shine a light on the illusions we create and learn how to leave them behind.]]>

      <itunes:summary>Pastor Donnie Peters shares the second message in our series The Seven at Hope Community Church on Jan. 12 &amp;amp; 13, 2019. 

What makes pride, greed, lust, envy, sloth, gluttony and wrath so powerful that we call them the seven deadly sins? Each one is a corruption of a major area in our lives. What God intended for good, we can distort and abuse. Eventually, we just end up damaging ourselves and those around us.  Each sermon in our new series focuses on a different deadly sin and how to expose it within ourselves. Join us as we discover how Jesus guides us through even our most difficult internal struggles.</itunes:summary>

        <![CDATA[The first week of our new series, The Journey: Lessons from the Life of Abraham at Hope Community Church on October 28/29, 2017 with Mike Lee.

Four things we can learn from Abraham's life of faith:

We need to hold everything loosely.
We need to see the goodness of God.
We built altars.
We acknowledge our brokenness. 

God's great longing is to bless the world, all the people and all the families of the earth.

One of the reasons Abraham is able to trust God for the journey is because he's convinced that God is a God of blessing.

God is looking for people who are honest about where they are and willing to start from that point on the journey. 

Life's major pursuit isn't the journey to knowing one's self - it's the journey to knowing God.

You'll never really begin the process of coming to know yourself until you begin the journey of coming to know God.]]>

God's goal is for our lives to be brought into alignment with the image and character of Jesus.

Our beliefs shape our attitudes and our actions.

Three things that will help you identify the lies you believe:
Examine the excuses you tell yourself to justify the wrong behavior. 
Examine the areas in your life where you tend to over react.
Examine the temptations to which you are most susceptible.
 
The truth sets us free from sin, lies enslave us to sin.]]>

      <itunes:summary>Week four of our current series Taking Flight with Pastor Mike Lee on Oct. 1, 2017. 

God's goal is for our lives to be brought into alignment with the image and character of Jesus.

Our beliefs shape our attitudes and our actions.

Three things that will help you identify the lies you believe:
Examine the excuses you tell yourself to justify the wrong behavior. 
Examine the areas in your life where you tend to over react.
Examine the temptations to which you are most susceptible.
 
The truth sets us free from sin, lies enslave us to sin.</itunes:summary>

        <![CDATA[God is at work in you and His goal is to renew you.

The kind of change God wants to bring about in your life doesn’t happen through self-will and determination.

If our lives are going to change and remain that way, we must be involved in the process of renewing our minds.

Renewal doesn’t begin with the rededication of our will – it begins with the renewal of our minds.

Renewal breaks down our resistance to God’s rule in our lives and it allows God to have greater influence over our wills.

A renewed mind results in a transformed life.]]>
