The Gospel Goes Beyond

Sunday Service: January 01, 2026 • Pastor Q Kim at HOPE Church in Clarksville, MD ---

As we begin a new year, Pastor Q declares one foundational truth: God is good—and His gospel goes beyond. In this message from Acts 8, we see how persecution could not stop the church but instead propelled the gospel forward. Through Philip’s obedience, the good news crossed cultural, racial, and spiritual boundaries, bringing freedom, healing, and great joy to an entire city. This sermon challenges us to move from spectators to participants, to seek God rather than power, and to trust that even adversity can become an opportunity for God’s glory. Anchored in Ephesians 3:20, we are reminded that God is able to do abundantly beyond all we ask or imagine as He leads us into a new year of faith, obedience, and mission.
