Given current events between Hamas and Israel, Pastor Matt answers three questions from a biblical angle to give us hope.

As we seek to build a good life and root ourselves in hope, grace, and peace, we can also know that we have purpose! How does the Apostle Paul's perspective in Ephesians 3 demonstrate being rooted in our purpose?

As we pursue the good life, we cannot escape the divisions in our culture. How can we be rooted in peace to navigate these divides?

As we seek "the good life," we often run into problems. How does being rooted in God's grace provide a solution to our problem?

We are all chasing the good life, but often are left feeling empty or incomplete. What does the true "good life" look like and what does the Bible say about how to achieve it?

Worshiping together is an essential way to build momentum, but one or two hours on a Sunday is often not enough time to grow spiritually over time. What is a weekly way we can get a BOOST?

We sign up for all kinds of memberships, but often don't consider church membership. What is the biblical basis for church membership and how can commitment help us build momentum?

When Jesus began his ministry, he was able to gain momentum through inviting people. What specifically did Jesus do and what is our role to help others meet Jesus?

God's word describes how He has made each of us different, with unique giftings and skills, while also calling us to team with other believers to accomplish His mission. If momentum is built by a series of actions, what does it look like to join the crew and build momentum as a team?

Momentum is something that is hard to gain but invaluable once you have it. As we look at the example of the early church, what strategies can we employ to help us gain momentum personally and as we team together?

Hope Church is celebrating its 45th anniversary! As we reflect on what God has done, we also look to the future asking, where is God taking us?

As the last of the listed fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, self-control may seem self-explanatory. However, what are we to have self-control over and how can we grow in it?

When you think of a gentle person, what image comes to mind?  A grandma baking cookies?  A parent who has a tidy house?  A warhorse?  What about all of those?  When it comes to God's view of gentleness, there is much more than we notice at first glance.

None of the fruit of the Spirit are easy characteristics to adopt, including faithfulness. How does God's demonstration of faithfulness to us impact how we follow His Spirit to cultivate this fruit in our lives?

We often struggled to be good. How does God develop goodness as fruit in our lives?

When we experience kindness, even something small, it's like new life has been breathed into us. How can we develop a pattern of kindness towards others in our lives?

We live in a fast-paced world with a fast-paced culture. When we are met with an inconvenience or slow down, it is easy to get impatient. With one of the fruits of the Spirit being patience, how can God help us grow in lining up our expectations with His?

Studies have found that rates of anxiety are going up. In our uncertainty and fear, what is the prescription for peace from God?

We often find ourselves chasing that happy or "up" feeling. But what is the difference between happiness and joy, and what can we do to discover more joy in our lives?

As we begin taking a deeper look at the individual fruit of the spirit, why does the list of fruit in Galatians 5 begin with love? How can we see and reap this fruit in our lives?

The fruit of our lives is not developed overnight. It is planted then cultivated and grown over a period of time. All of us develop fruit from the choices we make in life. The question is what kind of fruit are you producing? If your life was like a piece of fruit and was peeled, would the fruit be sweet or sour?

There are several areas in life where we may want or know we need to change. What are the first steps in being changed to the core?

Fear prevents us from doing a lot of things in life. How can God give us victory over our fears?

When we are hurt, we will often carry that hurt with us into the future. But how can God give us victory to forgive when we are hurt and move forward?

When we're in a "dark valley" it can fee inescapable. How can God give us victory in and through these valleys?
