This message unpacks the Davidic Covenant and its powerful promises—an Anointed One who would reign forever, inherit God’s kingdom as His Son, and establish a lasting dwelling with His people. In Jesus, every promise is fulfilled. He is the true King, the faithful Son, and the One who brings God’s presence to us.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

He's Not Done: Love Conquers All
In a disconnected world, God makes Himself visible through how we love others. Real love isn’t about how many people we reach, but how deeply we care for those in front of us. Despite differences, we’re called to live in unity, reflecting Christ through compassion, forgiveness, and fellowship. When we choose intentional, sacrificial love, we strengthen the church and reveal God to the world—because He’s not done working through us yet.

He's Not Done: Take the Big Step
Faith isn’t just believing—it’s moving. Today, Pastor Dave takes us through Hebrews 11: the faith chapter and relates that back to Gideon in the book of Judges. The question isn’t whether God is done—it’s whether you’re ready to take the big step.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

He's Not Done: Everyone's Invited to the Party

Now that Easter is over and we remember that Jesus has become the ultimate sacrifice, our Savior, you may ask: “now what?” We’re going to dig into what Jesus is up to next in this series.Today’s focus was on unity and how we are all individuals that make up one body of Christ, and what that means for us. Open your Bibles to Ephesians 4, and follow along with us.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

Easter Sunday: The Passover Lamb
On Easter Sunday, we explored why Jesus is called the Passover Lamb and how the first Passover in Exodus points directly to the cross. Just as the blood of an unblemished lamb caused God’s judgment to pass over Israel, the blood of Christ covers our sin and satisfies the wrath we deserve. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus became the perfect and final sacrifice, offering not only forgiveness but new life. The question for each of us remains: is our life covered by the blood of the Lamb?We recommend watching the following Bible Project video before listening to Pastor Garrett’s sermon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14x_PtlnJHw Due to copyright, we can’t include it in our video, but give it a watch, and then come back here!For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

Loving the World: Aren't There Already Enough Churches?
This morning we finish up our “Loving the World” series and our missions-focused month with a guest speaker: Tim Cole from Waypoint Church Partners. Waypoint offers many services to Christian churches across the Mid-Atlantic Region, including planting churches. Tim talks to us about what that looks like and leads us in a message about the mission of the capital C - Church - and what that means for us.Tim takes us back to the book of Genesis and the idea of lə·mî·nōw which is a Hebrew phrase we see repeatedly in Genesis 1. This phrase is crucial in identifying the fruit churches and disciples should yield.

Loving the World: Loving the People Jesus Loves
There’s probably someone in your life who isn’t easy to love — but Jesus loves them completely. Scripture reminds us that God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish, and His compassion calls us to see people the way He does. You were made to share the grace you’ve received. Loving the people Jesus loves may be uncomfortable, but it’s where compassion grows and the mission of Christ comes to life.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

Loving the World: Loving the Children
This week, we had our annual baby dedication earlier in the service, so Pastor Dave digs in to what it means to Love the Children. We’re in Matthew 18:13-15. Jesus makes it clear that he valued and defended children, and even used their faith as examples for adults. In some ways, we could all stand to be more childlike.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

When Jesus is the Lord of His Church: Harmony
This message concludes our series, “When Jesus is the Lord of His Church”. In John 17, Jesus prays for us—that we would be one. In a world fueled by offense, the Church is called to look different. Unity isn’t sameness; it’s surrendering our preferences to His Lordship. When love leads, harmony follows—and our oneness becomes a witness. “When the Church is one, the world is won.”For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

When Jesus is the Lord of His Church: Worship
We’ve made God too small. Psalm 29 reminds us that the Lord’s voice shakes creation and commands our awe. The same power that raised Jesus now works in us, turning worship from a moment into a way of life. When Jesus is truly Lord, every decision becomes an act of surrender and every day an offering of glory to the One who is worthy.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

When Jesus is the Lord of His Church: Truth
In a world that treats truth as optional, Jesus stands as the only Truth. When He becomes Lord—not just Savior—His Word cuts, heals, and transforms us. This is a call to stop reshaping truth to fit our lives and start reshaping our lives around Him, holding grace and truth together as we follow Him fully.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

When Jesus is the Lord of His Church: Leadership

Lessons for Christians Today: New Life in Christ
Transformation isn’t about trying harder—it’s about living from the new life you’ve already been given in Christ. In Colossians 3, Paul reminds us that we don’t strive toward a new identity; we live from it. As those raised with Christ, we’re invited to put off old patterns, put on new practices, and let His peace rule our hearts in the everyday moments of life.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

Lessons for Christians Today: Fullness & Freedom in Christ
For many believers, “Jesus is Lord” can remain a theological statement rather than a lived reality. This reflection explores the gap between belief and practice, revealing that true freedom isn’t found in control, options, or self-effort, but in being deeply rooted in Christ. When Jesus is truly Lord, life shifts from striving to fullness, nourished by the only Source that satisfies.

Lessons for Christians Today: The Supremacy of Christ

In a noisy, crowded world, this chapter offers clarity, grounding our priorities in Christ and the hope of the gospel.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

The Gift: Unwrap the Gift
We’re often exhausted in our faith—not because God hasn’t given us enough, but because we’re not using what He’s already given. The Holy Spirit lives within every believer, yet many of us keep striving in our own strength. Drawing from Galatians 5, this sermon explores what it means to truly “unwrap” the gift of the Spirit, walk in step with Him, and experience the fruit-filled life Jesus promised—without trying harder, but by surrendering deeper.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv

The Authentic Gift: The Dragon and the Manger
Christmas isn’t just a quiet manger scene—it’s God’s bold invasion into our chaos. Behind the star and shepherds stands a cosmic battle as Christ enters the world to defeat the ancient dragon. The baby in Bethlehem is the warrior promised from the beginning, crushing darkness and freeing us to live in God’s restored creation. This is the authentic gift of Christmas: victory, freedom, and a new way to live.For more information about what is going on at Hope Christian Church, visit us in person or online!https://www.hopechurchwv.comhttps://facebook.com/hccwv
