City Hope Fellowship

Facing doubt, learning from the experiences of other believers, and trusting God while waiting for prayers to be answered.

Jesus is Risen from the Dead! Now what? What does this small band of fearful disciples do now that their King is back? Do they immediately go overthrow the Roman Empire? What do they commit themselves to? And what does all of this mean for us? Join us as we learn about the most important things Jesus leaves for his followers, a manifesto of what life looks like after the resurrection.

What can we learn from the feet of Holy Week? Feet? Yeah, feet. Join us this morning as we look at the way of Jesus from 3 different perspectives of the last week of Jesus' earthly life.

It is easy to feel scared when looking at the state of the world around us. Wars, turmoil, chaos and suffering continue to surround us. It feels sometimes like we are at the end of the world.

We live in a divided world that pits us against one another and we often try to get Jesus to agree with our side.

"You can't become famous if you hide like this! If you can do such wonderful things, sow yourself to the world!" Jesus' brothers urge him to step into the spotlight and take hold of fame. This temptation to fame over faithfulness remains for us today. How can we cultivate the secret life with God in order to remain faithful? Join us this morning for worship.

We have a problem with grace. What? Isn't grace the best thing about the gospel? But...if grace is really grace, it means that God is sovereign and in control. It means that we can't do anything to earn our salvation. And it means we can't withhold anything from God, because he doesn't withhold anything from us. Maybe we do have a problem with grace?

The culture of the world often tells us that in order to receive any good gift means that we MUST achieve it. John 3:16 is a reminder to us that eternal life is given through the son Jesus Christ, out of his compassion and love. Is this something that can be hard for us to receive? Join us this morning as we ponder this question.
