The Smalcald Articles – part 114
Who should the Church listen to: God or traditions? Christ or modern-day pharisees? The Holy Spirit or the teachings of the universities? God’s Word or church councils?
One Hope Church - Where faith and life connect Join us each Sunday for worship at 9:30am @ Ocean5 or from home.
One Hope Church is a multi-denominational Christian Church committed to the ministry and mission of Jesus. We serve and support various local, national, and international Christian efforts. We don't own our own building but rather we rent Sunday morning worship space at the Ocean5 social gathering place. This enables us to release additional funds toward our mission and ministry efforts as well as supports our vision to take the church to where the community gathers.

We believe in the power of prayer. But we also pray.
We place a high value on caring for the needs of our church family.
We seek to love and serve our community - meeting needs and speaking truth.
The call of Jesus to make disciples begins with our kids!
Our MS and HS youth are not the future of the church. They are the church.
Our partner ministry for ages 18-25 which we support alongside other area churches.
We don't just financially support missions. We go.
Gatherings happen each Sunday at 9:30am for large group worship at Ocean5.
These home-based groups meet regularly for fellowship, worship, prayer, Bible exploration, outreach and fun.
These are groups where we go deeper in God’s Word, have more discussion and where more intentional discipleship happens.

“What did I tell you?” How many times have we heard that while growing up? Listening carefully, then doing what you were told is a staple of becoming a responsible adult.
It all falls on faith, not tradition, or in the case of these two sentences in the Smalcald Articles, not on piety, personal holiness, or the faithfulness of the minister.
