What does it mean to “come home” to God in a world obsessed with freedom, self-expression, and performance? – Luke 15:11-32 – Jamie Haxby

00:00 / 16:29

Hope Live | Luke 15:11-32 | Jamie Haxby

In this powerful message, we dive deep into one of Jesus’ most beloved parables — the story of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15.
Through this timeless story, we explore the tension between freedom and obedience, grace and resentment, and the invitation that God extends to each of us: “Come home.”

Whether you identify more with the younger son who ran away, or the older brother who stayed but struggled with bitterness, this teaching reminds us that the Father’s love is for both — it’s a love that restores, renews, and gives us identity, authority, and purpose.

Why does God call us to give when He doesn’t need our money? – Luke 21:1-4 & Matthew 6:19-24 – Dave Ramm

Why does God call us to give when He doesn’t need our money? – Luke 21:1-4 & Matthew 6:19-24 – Dave Ramm

00:00 / 25:53

Hope Live | Luke 21:1-4 & Matthew 6:19-24 | Dave Ramm

In this powerful message, we dive into Jesus’ teachings on treasure and trust — exploring what it really means to give sacrificially and live with an eternal perspective. Drawing from Matthew 6:19–24 and Luke 21:1–4, we unpack two essential truths: where our treasure is, there our heart will be also — and true generosity comes not from abundance, but from surrender.

From the story of the widow’s offering to Jesus’ challenge to serve God, not Mammon, this sermon invites us to examine our hearts, our habits, and how we hold the things God has entrusted to us. Are we investing in earthly possessions, or storing up treasure in heaven?

Join us as we learn to “hold all things loosely,” living with gratitude, contentment, and open hands — for it’s better to give than to receive.

All Age August – How does Jesus give us hope and joy to keep going? – Hebrews 12:1-2 – Jamie Haxby

00:00 / 20:16

Hope Live | All Age August | Hebrews 12:1-2 | Jamie Haxby

In this shorter message from Hebrews 12, we’re reminded what it means to fix our eyes on Jesus and run the race of faith with endurance. Drawing on the surprising inclusion of flawed judges like Samson and Jephthah in the “heroes of faith” of Hebrews 11, we see that what counts is not perfection but choosing to live by faith.

Through the imagery of the Roman stadium, the cloud of witnesses, and the call to throw off everything that hinders, this talk encourages us to keep pressing forward—forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. Whether you feel weak, overwhelmed, or like you’ve failed too many times, you’re invited to run with perseverance, knowing Christ has gone before you as the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.

Be inspired to strip off what entangles, embrace the joy set before you, and keep running—by faith.

All Age August – How can we reclaim a childlike faith and spiritual hunger for God? – 1 Samuel 3 – Jamie Haxby

Hope Sunday Sermons

All Age August – How can we reclaim a childlike faith and spiritual hunger for God? – 1 Samuel 3 – Jamie Haxby

00:00 / 20:33

Hope Live | All Age August | 1 Samuel 3 | Jamie Haxby

In this shorter message, we explore one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: the calling of Samuel in 1 Samuel 3. At a time when “the word of the Lord was rare” and visions were few, God broke through the silence to speak to a young teenager in the temple — a moment that changed the course of Israel’s history.

Through this passage, we unpack:

Why God’s voice can feel distant and how to recognize when He is speaking
The meaning behind “the lamp of the Lord has not yet gone out” and why it gives us hope
How spiritual blindness, distractions, and passivity can keep us from hearing God
Why prayer, obedience, and surrender are central to experiencing God’s power
How God still speaks today — in ordinary and extraordinary ways

If you’ve ever wondered how to hear God’s voice or you’re longing for spiritual renewal, this teaching will encourage you to pause, listen, and respond to His call. God is still speaking. The question is — are we listening?

All Age August – How can we avoid the same mistakes as Samson? – Judges 16 – Nay Lapworth

Hope Sunday Sermons

All Age August – How can we avoid the same mistakes as Samson? – Judges 16 – Nay Lapworth

00:00 / 15:31

Hope Live | All Age August | Judges 16 | Nay Lapworth

In this shorter message, we dive deep into Judges 16 — the dramatic and powerful story of Samson and Delilah. Samson was blessed by God with incredible strength and a divine purpose, but his weakness for love and pride led him down a dangerous path.

We’ll unpack:

The rise and fall of Samson
Why love can be both beautiful and destructive
How poor choices can derail our calling
The redemption and grace of God, even after we’ve messed up
Practical tips on guarding your heart and making wise decisions in relationships

This isn’t just Samson’s story — it’s a powerful reminder for us today. No matter how many times we fail, God’s kindness and sovereignty remain. He restores, heals, and uses us for His purposes when we return to Him.
