    How do I run the Christian race with purpose? - 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 & Hebrews 12:1-2 - David Ramm

    Hope Live | 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 & Hebrews 12:1-2 | David RammIn the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the GB men's rowing eight went from perennial underachievers to gold medallists — and they did it with one decision-making filter: Will it make the boat go faster?In this message from 1 Corinthians 9 and Hebrews 12, David takes that question and applies it to the Christian life. Paul wasn't shy about using sporting analogies, and here we see why: the discipline, focus, and teamwork that produces gold medals aren't so different from what it takes to run the race of faith well.This is a practical, honest, and energising message for anyone who feels like their spiritual life isn't moving at the pace it should — and wants to do something about it.Four principles from the rowing team that apply directly to your walk with God:A clear goal — do you have one for your Christian lifeRuthless focus — what's slowing you down that needs to go?Small decisions — the daily choices that quietly shape your destinyTeamwork — why no one wins the race aloneFeaturing real stories from prison ministry, end-of-life care, and life in the local church — this is a message that brings scripture off the page and into Monday morning.Key themes: Spiritual discipline · purpose and focus · 1 Corinthians 9 & Hebrews 12 · small habits · community and shared vision · running to win28/06/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #1corinthians #hebrews#hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    A Vision of Glory - What if you can't find the words to worship? - Psalm 22 - Stephen Baines

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | Psalm 22 | Stephen BainesWhat do you do when worship feels like the last thing you have left?In this message from Psalm 22, Stephen explores one of the most remarkable truths in all of scripture — that God doesn't just visit us when we worship, He inhabits our praise. He settles. He stays. And He does it not only when worship comes easily, but especially when it doesn't.Drawing on Psalm 22's jarring opening ("My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"), Stephen traces a thread that runs from David hiding in a cave, to Paul and Silas bleeding in a prison cell, all the way to Jesus on the cross — and asks: what does it look like to worship through gritted teeth? To declare that God is holy, not because circumstances have improved, but because His character hasn't changed?This isn't a message that promises praise will fix everything. It's an honest, pastoral, and deeply encouraging reminder that praise changes us even when it doesn't change our situation — that sometimes God comes like an earthquake and breaks the chains, and sometimes He comes in a whisper and says, I've got you. Keep going.Three anchoring truths from Psalm 22:Praise welcomes God's presencePraise declares God's kingshipPraise breaks the power of despairKey themes: Worship in suffering · Psalm 22 & the presence of God · Paul and Silas in prison · praise as spiritual warfare · God's manifest presence · honest faith in the valleys21/06/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #psalms #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    A Vision of Glory - Where Is God when everything falls apart? - Psalm 34 - Jamie Haxby

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | Psalm 34 | Jamie HaxbyWhere do you go when you're running for your life?In this message from Psalm 34, Jamie explores one of the most unexpected settings in the Bible — David hiding in a cave, fearful, homeless, and hunted by two of the most powerful men of his day. And yet it's in that very cave that David writes some of the most celebrated words of worship in scripture: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."This isn't a coincidence. It's a pattern.From Moses at the burning bush, to Joseph in prison, to Paul and Silas in chains, to Jesus himself consistently showing up among the marginalised, the lost, and the least — the glory of God has a habit of turning up in the last place we'd expect. Jamie unpacks what that means for us today: if we want to encounter God, we may need to follow him into the cave.We also hear powerful stories from the Olive Branch — a local foodbank and more — where volunteers are witnessing real lives transformed not just by food, but by prayer, presence, and the tangible love of Jesus.This is a message about more than charity. It's a call to follow Jesus to the other side of the road.Key themes: God's presence in suffering · Psalm 34 & the cave of Adullam · the fear of the Lord · brokenness as holy ground · stepping out in faith · mission and the marginalised14/06/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #psalms #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    A Vision of Glory - Is my brokenness a barrier to God's glory? - 2 Corinthians 3-4 - Andrew Gardner

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | 2 Corinthians 3-4 | Andrew GardnerWhat if your brokenness isn't a barrier to God's glory, but the very thing through which it shines?In this message from 2 Corinthians 3–4, Andrew explores Paul's powerful image of believers as "jars of clay" carrying the treasure of God's presence. Drawing on the story of Moses' fading glow after meeting with God, Andrew unpacks how the law leaves us veiled, condemned, and aware of our failures — but how Christ removes that veil so we can be transformed "with ever-increasing glory."This isn't a message about achieving a flawless image. It's about discovering a glory image: the truth that God's light shines brightest through our cracks, our struggles, and our weaknesses. Through honest reflections and real stories of healing and freedom, Andrew encourages us that no matter what we're carrying — pain, past hurts, ongoing battles — we do not lose heart, because our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal weight of glory.Key themes: God's glory in human weakness · the veil of the old covenant vs. freedom in Christ · transformation "with ever-increasing glory" · finding hope in suffering · stories of healing and breakthrough07/06/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #2corinthians #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    A Vision of Glory - How do you welcome the glory of Jesus in? - Luke 7:36–50 - Simeon Lapworth

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | Luke 7:36–50 | Simeon LapworthWhen King Charles visited Lancaster, the whole city prepared. Drains were checked. Protocols were followed. People Googled the correct way to address royalty. But what does it look like to welcome a far greater King — the King of creation himself?In this sermon from Luke 7:36–50, we look at a scandalous dinner party where a sinful woman does something extraordinary — and Jesus says she got it right.We explore:The difference between God's omnipresence and his manifest presenceWhy Simon the Pharisee had Jesus at his table but didn't truly welcome himThree ways this woman models hosting Jesus well: tears, affection, and extravagant giftsWhat it means to stop settling for God being "everywhere" and start pursuing his presence hereWhether you've been a Christian for years or you're exploring faith for the first time, this message is a fresh invitation to open the door — not just to have Jesus nearby, but to truly welcome him in.31/05/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #luke #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    A Vision of Glory - What does Pentecost mean for us today? - John 16 & Acts 2 - Jamie Haxby

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | John 15:26–16:15 & Acts 2:1–12 | Jamie HaxbyIn this week's message, Jamie continues the A Vision of Glory series by diving into one of the most dramatic moments in Scripture — the day the Holy Spirit fell at Pentecost.Jesus told his disciples something that seemed almost impossible to believe: it's better for you that I go away. Why? Because the Holy Spirit — the Paraclete — was coming. Not just as a historical event, but as the beginning of an era that continues today.In this message, Jamie unpacks:Why life feels so hard, and what the Bible says is at the root of itThe surprising meaning of Pentecost and why it happens exactly 50 days after PassoverWhat "Paraclete" really means — and how the Holy Spirit acts as our advocate, comforter, counsellor, and tugboat in the storms of lifeTwo powerful stories of healing from within the Hope Church community — one physical, one emotional — that show the Spirit is still very much at workWhether you're stuck in grief, battling a sense of shame, or just trying to figure out what the Holy Spirit actually does — this message is for you.24/05/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #john #acts #pentecost #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    A Vision of Glory - Where is the glory of God most fully revealed? - John 12 - Jamie Haxby

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | John 12 | Jamie HaxbyWe often think of glory as something added — sprinkles on a cake, a spoiler on a car. So why does Jesus call his own crucifixion his glorification?In this message from John 12, Jamie unpacks one of the most striking contradictions in Scripture: that the fullest revelation of God's glory didn't happen in a moment of triumph, but in a moment of utter darkness — the cross.From the cross, we see God's love, justice, mercy, wisdom, and power all revealed at once. And that same glory — the kind that breaks into the darkest places — is available to you now, in whatever you're walking through.Whether you're facing a difficult diagnosis, a broken relationship, or you work daily in places surrounded by pain (schools, hospitals, social care), this message is a reminder: God's speciality is manufacturing glory in the midst of brokenness. You don't have to strive to reach a better place — he brings his fullness into this moment.In this message:Why the cross is the climax of God's glory, not its contradictionWhat it means that "darkness is as light" to God (Psalm 139)How you are called to be a missionary into dark places this weekWhy "I can do all things through Christ" is a message for people in prison — not a prosperity promise17/05/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #john #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    A Vision of Glory - Who does John reveal Jesus to be? - John 1 - David Ramm

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | John 1 | David RammIn this message, we continue the “Vision of Glory” series by diving into the opening verses of the Gospel of John. Through John 1:1–18, we explore the powerful question: Who is Jesus? John reveals Jesus not just as a teacher or prophet, but as the eternal Word — present in the beginning, fully God, Creator of all things, and the light that shines in the darkness.This teaching unpacks how John sets the stage for his Gospel like a cinematic trailer, introducing the glory, identity, and divinity of Christ before revealing His name. Discover what it means that Jesus is the source of life, why darkness cannot overcome His light, and how John’s unique perspective as one of Jesus’ closest disciples gives us deeper insight into the heart of God.Whether you’re exploring faith, studying the Gospel of John, or wanting a clearer understanding of Jesus’ identity, this message will encourage and challenge you to see Christ in all His glory.10/05/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #john #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | Ezekiel 1 | Jamie HaxbyWhat if God’s glory could meet you anywhere — even in exile?In this message from Ezekiel chapter 1, we dive into one of the most extraordinary visions in the Bible and uncover a stunning truth: the presence of God is no longer confined to a temple. His glory has wheels.Through Ezekiel’s story, we explore:The ache humanity carries “east of Eden”Why we long for beauty, joy, and transcendenceThe holiness and danger of God’s gloryHow Jesus fulfills the templeWhy God meets people in their Babylon momentsA remarkable true story of loss, forgiveness, and encounterWhether you feel spiritually dry, overwhelmed by life, or hungry for more of God, this message is a reminder that His presence is closer than you think.03/05/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #ezekiel #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

Why do we chase self-improvement, success, validation, or comfort… yet still feel restless?This talk unpacks:How our desire for “glory” gets distortedThe subtle voice of temptation in modern cultureWhy shame enters when we try to define life on our own termsThe “fig leaves” we use to cover insecurityAnd the powerful truth that God is still asking: “Where are you?”Whether you’re exploring faith, feeling stuck, or just tired of striving, this message is an invitation to come back—to rest, to identity, and to something deeper.26/04/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #genesis #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | Exodus 33 | Mark BuchananIn this powerful teaching rooted in Exodus, we start our new series: A Vision of Glory where we explore one of the most profound and often misunderstood aspects of God’s nature: His glory. Through the life of Moses, we see how God reveals Himself—not just through what He does, but through who He is.From the burning bush to Mount Sinai, this message unpacks the Hebrew concept of “Kavod”—the weight, substance, and tangible reality of God’s presence. Discover how God’s glory is:Both awe-inspiring and deeply personalRevealed through His character, goodness, and mercyReflected in creation—and in usWe also dive into the bold moment when Moses asks, “Show me Your glory,” and what that means for us today. Are we truly experiencing God’s presence, or just settling for surface-level faith?Drawing from passages like Isaiah 60, this message challenges us to become people who reflect God’s glory in a world filled with darkness—people whose lives draw others toward hope, transformation, and intimacy with God.12/04/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #exodus #avisionofglory #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    Hope Live | This is Jesus | Mark 16:1-8 | Jamie HaxbyIn this Easter message from Gospel of Mark chapter 16, we explore the raw, abrupt ending of the resurrection story—and why it matters more than we think. From fear, grief, and the reality of death, to the unexpected “eucatastrophe”—a sudden, joyful turning point—this talk wrestles with life’s biggest questions: meaning, mortality, and hope.Why do we fear death so deeply?What if life really does have purpose?And what does it mean if the resurrection is true—not just then, but for us now?This message invites you into the tension the first disciples felt… and leaves you with the same question they faced:What are you going to do with the resurrection?05/04/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    Hope Live | This is Jesus | Mark 15:33-41 | Simeon LapworthWhat if the darkest moment in history was actually the beginning of hope?In this talk, we explore Mark 15:33–41 and the powerful, unsettling reality of Jesus’ death on the cross. From the mysterious darkness at noon to Jesus’ cry of abandonment, this passage confronts us with both the weight of human brokenness and the depth of God’s love.We also reflect on our modern world—its anxiety, disconnection, and longing for something better—and ask:Why are we searching for hope in the past instead of the future?29/03/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

While the crowds welcomed Him as a political savior, Jesus came with a far greater purpose: not to overthrow governments, but to defeat sin and bring peace.Discover how this story connects to Passover, fulfills prophecy, and challenges our own expectations of God.Jesus may not always be the Savior we want—but He is the Savior we need.22/03/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

Instead, it invites us into a posture of empty hands, deep humility, and honest desperation—the very place where God meets us.15/03/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

In that moment, the disciples get a glimpse of the ultimate reality behind everything: Jesus is the fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets, and His glory has the final word over history.From Moses and Elijah to the cross and resurrection, this sermon explores how the story of the Bible reveals a deeper truth beneath the surface of our world’s confusion and suffering.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the state of the world or wondered whether there is any real hope—this message is for you.08/03/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

This passage challenges us to examine whether we’ve shaped Jesus into our own image, or truly surrendered to Him as King.What does it mean to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him? And what does it profit to gain the whole world but lose your soul?This isn’t just theology—it’s a call to decision.Will you follow Jesus?01/03/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    This is Jesus - How can we respond when unexpected storms suddenly hit our lives? - Mark 4:35-41 - Jamie Haxby

    Hope Live | This is Jesus | Mark 4:35-41 | Jamie HaxbyIn this powerful message based on Mark 4:35–41, we explore the story of Jesus calming the storm and what it means for the “furious squalls” that suddenly arise in our own lives. Whether it’s unexpected news, personal struggles, or witnessing someone else’s pain, storms can feel overwhelming and frightening. But this talk reminds us that God is not absent in those moments—He is present within them.Through biblical reflection, real-life application, and the imagery of David in the cave of Adullam, this message encourages listeners to shift their perspective: from fear of the storm to reverence for the One who is greater than it. Discover how faith grows in hardship, why suffering doesn’t mean abandonment, and how hope can still be found even in life’s darkest seasons.Be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded: no matter what storm you face, there is always hope—and there is always One who is bigger.15/02/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceled

    This is Jesus - Can Jesus heal more than just our bodies — and does He care about what happens after the miracle? - Mark 5:21-43 - Nanette Wilkinson

    Hope Live | This is Jesus | Mark 5:21-43 | Nanette WilkinsonIn this powerful message from Mark 5:21–43, we explore two intertwined stories of desperation, faith, and divine interruption: a respected synagogue ruler willing to risk his reputation to save his dying daughter, and an unnamed woman who had suffered in silence for twelve long years.As Jesus responds to both, we’re confronted with some deeply personal questions:What are we carrying that’s bleeding into our lives — and the lives of others?What keeps us from falling at the feet of Jesus?And what happens when healing seems to come too late?This message weaves together Scripture, lived experience, and cultural context to reveal a Jesus who doesn’t just heal bodies, but restores dignity, identity, and hearts. Whether your struggle is visible or hidden, urgent or long-standing, this talk invites you to bring it honestly to Jesus — even when the crowd is watching.Because when Jesus is involved, “too late” is never the end of the story.08/02/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceledSubscribe to Hope Church Lancaster on YouTube HERE: ⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/3rdQRFf⁠⁠⁠Like Hope Church Lancaster on Facebook HERE: ⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/3r64vtH⁠⁠⁠Follow Hope Church Lancaster on Instagram HERE ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3onehbO⁠⁠⁠Find Hope Church Lancaster on TikTok HERE ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3POB1Nh⁠⁠⁠Join the Hope Open Group on Facebook HERE: ⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/3rc675t⁠⁠⁠Check out the website for Hope Church Lancaster HERE: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3ah5HE⁠

    This is Jesus - What does it actually mean to “rest” as a Christian in a busy, pressured world? - Mark 2:23-3:6 - Jamie Haxby

    Hope Live | This is Jesus | Mark 2:23-3:6 | Jamie HaxbyIn this message from Mark 2:23–3:6, we explore Jesus’ radical claim that “the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” Through stories of anxious striving, self-righteousness, and the deep human need for control, we’re invited to see how easily faith can become another exhausting project.Drawing on vivid illustrations, the story of King David, the Pharisees’ obsession with rule-keeping, and John Wesley’s life-changing encounter with grace, this talk reframes Sabbath not as a rule to obey but as a place to live — a life of rest under the loving rule of King Jesus.If you’re tired, anxious, striving to be “enough,” or stuck in spiritual performance mode, this message is an invitation to stop pedalling, step aboard, and rest in what Christ has already done.Key themes:Anxiety, control, and self-righteousnessJesus as Lord of the SabbathResting in grace, not striving for righteousnessHealing for withered hearts and soulsLiving and serving from a place of rest01/02/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceledSubscribe to Hope Church Lancaster on YouTube HERE: ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/3rdQRFf⁠⁠Like Hope Church Lancaster on Facebook HERE: ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/3r64vtH⁠⁠Follow Hope Church Lancaster on Instagram HERE ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3onehbO⁠⁠Find Hope Church Lancaster on TikTok HERE ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3POB1Nh⁠⁠Join the Hope Open Group on Facebook HERE: ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/3rc675t⁠⁠Check out the website for Hope Church Lancaster HERE: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3ah5HE

    Hope Live | This is Jesus | Mark 2:1-12 | David RammIn this message from Mark 2:1–12, we step into a packed house in Capernaum where four friends are willing to tear open a roof just to get their paralyzed friend to Jesus. But what Jesus does next shocks everyone in the room. Before healing the man’s body, Jesus forgives his sins—challenging assumptions about suffering, faith, and who Jesus really is.This preach explores:Why Jesus prioritizes spiritual healing over physical healingWhat real, determined faith looks like when obstacles stand in the wayThe tension between religious cynicism and childlike wonderThe freedom that comes from truly believing we are forgivenWhy forgiving others flows out of understanding God’s forgiveness toward us25/01/2026Make sure to share with your friends and family!#hopemessages #mark #thisisjesus #hopelancaster #hopeisnotncanceledSubscribe to Hope Church Lancaster on YouTube HERE: ⁠http://bit.ly/3rdQRFf⁠Like Hope Church Lancaster on Facebook HERE: ⁠http://bit.ly/3r64vtH⁠Follow Hope Church Lancaster on Instagram HERE ⁠https://bit.ly/3onehbO⁠Find Hope Church Lancaster on TikTok HERE ⁠https://bit.ly/3POB1Nh⁠Join the Hope Open Group on Facebook HERE: ⁠http://bit.ly/3rc675t⁠Check out the website for Hope Church Lancaster HERE: ⁠https://bit.ly/3ah5HE
