Worship Service for the Week of October 12, 2025

Sermon: The Power of Friendship

As an off the chart introvert, I would like to tell you that we don't really need people and that friendships are optional.  Years ago I learned the hard way that this is simply not true.  But why is it not true?  Sunday we will be looking at the greatest friendship in the Bible but also at the theological reason friendships are so critical!

Worship Service for the Week of October 5, 2025

Sermon: The Power of Substitution

What is the main lesson from the story of David and Goliath?  The bigger they are the harder they fall?  If you have the faith of David you can face the giants in the your life?  Those may be true things, but they are not the main point of the story.  What is the main lesson?  Find out Sunday at One Hope Church!

Worship Service for the Week of September 28th

Sermon: The Training of a King

In 1 Samuel 16:1-13, David is anointed by the Prophet Samuel to be the next king of Israel.  But then David goes back to tending his flocks for months (maybe years).  And then when he does become Israel's hero, he is on the run for over a decade before he actually becomes the true king of the land.  Why the delay?  Find out this Sunday as we continue our Life of David series!

Worship Service for the Week of September 21st

Sermon: Before David

He's a warrior, a hero, a great statesman and prolific songwriter.  Who am I talking about?  No, not your pastor.  But good guess.  We're talking about King David, and on Sunday we start a new series called "The Life of David" as we look at one of the three most important figures in the Old Testament and the one who most profoundly prefigures the Person of Jesus the Christ!

Worship Service for the Week of September 14th

Worship Service for the Week of August 17th

Sermon: Women, Slaves and Gentiles

Think of all the beautiful cathedrals in Europe and the rich history of Christianity on the European continent.  On Sunday we read of how it all began.  Acts 16 records the very first church plant in Europe!  And it all happened because God said "no".

Worship Service for the Week of August 10th

Sermon: The First Council Meeting

What would the church be without council meetings?!  Turns out even the early church had them.  Join us this Sunday as we look at Acts 15 and ask two important questions and land on two important principles that flow out of this first great council of the church.

Worship Service for the Week of August 3rd

Worship Service for the Week of June 29th

Sermon: Stephen: First of Many

Many thousands of Christians have been killed for confessing Jesus over the last 2000 years.  Stephen was the first.  But he was more than just the first martyr.  Join us Sunday as we explore the life, teaching and character of one of the brightest lights of the early church.

Worship Service for the Week of June 22nd

Sermon: Peter: Profiles in Courage

One of the most famous figures in history is the Apostle Peter.  But if it were not for meeting Jesus he would have died as a complete unknown in a backwater province of the Roman Empire.  What was it that Jesus saw in this uneducated fisherman and how did God use him in the book of Acts?  This Sunday we will trace Peter's career through the gospels and the book of Acts as we seek to learn some key lessons for our lives by looking at this wonderfully flawed Jesus follower.

Worship Service for the Week of June 15th

Sermon: The Life Together

Part of our search for a new pastor involves putting together a congregational profile of our congregation for a potential candidate to take into consideration before applying.  What if the early church of the Book of Acts were looking for a new pastor.  What would their congregational profile be?  Find out Sunday as we dive into two striking summaries of that very first church in Jerusalem. 

Worship Service for the Week of June 8th

Worship Service for the Week of June 1st

Sermon: Marching Orders

Pastor Peter this last week announced the process of moving on, but Jesus has not, and never will.  And the Holy Spirit is just getting started with One Hope Church.  God has amazing things in store for this church family.  Peter has been talking about passing the baton.  But the baton is not just being passed to a new pastor but to YOU.  You are the church and this summer we will be exploring the book of Acts as we recalibrate our mission with God's mission and get ready for the "next shepherd" for our flock who will lead us in the next chapter of the adventure of following the "Chief Shepherd" who is Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith! 

Worship Service for the Week of May 25th

Sermon: Passing the Baton

This Sunday is the last in our Apologetics series, but with Peter's announcement of the beginning of a transition period for One Hope, he will be taking the first half of the sermon time to share about that decision and to set the stage for the Q&A time after the service with our Elder Team.

Worship Service for the Week of May 18th

Sermon: What About Science?

Join us Sunday as we continue our Apologetics series.  This week's topic addresses the argument by some that there exists a conflict between science and faith.  Our resident smart guy, James Wilborn, will be addressing that argument and will provide a unique perspective that you won't want to miss!

Worship Service for the Week of May 11, 2025

Sermon: Worshipping Through Serving

For our service on Mothers Day we worshipped through service by providing 22,250 meals to help the mom's of Sierre Leone feed their kids!  It was a great morning.  No sermon, but see discussion questions below for your small group time this week.

Worship Service for the Week of May 4, 2025

Sermon: How Can I Believe Someone Rose From the Dead?

Sunday we continue our short mini-series on Apologetics which is all about knowing why you believe what you believe and how you can share those truths with love and respect to those pre-Christians in your life.  Last Sunday's theme was on how we can trust the Bible.  This Sunday the topic is on how we can believe that someone literally rose from the dead and why it matters. 

Worship Service for the Week of April 27, 2025

Sermon: How Can I Trust the Bible?

Join us this Sunday as Michael Bouterse helps us kick off a new four week series on Apologetics (i.e. Defending the Faith).  This first week of the series the focus will be on the Bible and why we believe that it is reliable, inspired and authoritative for our lives.

Easter Service for the Week of April 20th

Sermon: Christus Victor!

If you were to receive a letter in the mail saying that you have a long lost relative who has left you with a million dollars... you would be skeptical.  Is this a scam?  But that's a lot of money.  So you would absolutely vet it.  Why not do that with the resurrection of Jesus? Have you vetted it?  If it's true, it's worth way more than a million dollars.  Join us Sunday @ 9:30am @ Ocean5 as we vet the Victory of Christ.  

Good Friday Tenebrae Service

Friday, April 18, 7pm @ Ocean5.  Our seven speakers this year are:  Travis Shumaker, Steve Mullins, Aileen Jones, Matt Czuleger, Frank Wright, Dean Todd and Andrea Bowman.

Worship Service for the Week of April 13th

Sermon: The Day Before Palm Sunday

This Sunday is Palm Sunday.  In our sermon for Sunday we'll look at the significance of that special day.  But we will also focus on what happened the day before and the night before.  For Jesus, what happened then was perhaps even more meaningful than the crowds and the palms and the shouts of Hosanna.

Worship Service for the Week of April 6th

Sermon: The Prayer That Started It All

Before the cross, before the resurrection, before the church was born, there was a prayer. A prayer so powerful, so intimate, that it shook the very foundations of heaven and earth. In John 17, Jesus lifts His voice to the Father, not just for Himself, but for His disciples and for us. This is not just any prayer. It is the prayer that started it all. A prayer of unity, mission, and eternal hope. A prayer that reveals the heart of Christ before He gave His life for the world. What does it mean that Jesus prayed for you before you ever spoke a word to Him? How does this prayer shape the way we live, love, and follow Him today? Join us as we unpack the final words of Jesus before the cross and discover how His prayer is still working in our lives today.

Worship Service for the Week of March 30th

Sermon: Showdown

It's six months before Jesus goes to the cross.  He is at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.  He has just said two startling things.  Now in our text for Sunday he brings it all together in a way that changes one man's life forever and sets the stage for a dramatic showdown with the religious powers of the day.  What is the text?  Find out Sunday!

Worship Service for the Week of March 23rd

Sermon: Secret Weapon

Jesus said some rather radical things about prayer and faith.  If I'm honest, what he said does not often line up with my personal experience.  Sunday we will wrestle with that reality for many of us as we discover ten lessons about prayer and faith that the Enemy does not want us to learn.

Worship Service for the Week of March 16th

Sermon: The Radical Center

Some try to change the world through the Christian nationalism of the political right and some try to change the world through the Christian socialism of the political left.  Jesus had a different plan.  It's called the Kingdom and it follows different rules.  Find out what they are this Sunday.

Worship Service for the Week of March 9th

Sermon: When and Why Jesus Showed Tough Love

Was Jesus bi-polar?  It sure seems like it sometimes.  One moment he's saying the most comforting thing, the next minute he says something really tough. But no, he wasn't bi-polar.  There's a different reason.  Find out Sunday what it is.

Worship Service for the Week of March 2nd

Sermon: The Greatest Sermon

Matthew 7:13-27 is the ending to the greatest sermon ever preached.  But it's also a very challenging text.  Join us Sunday as we wrestle with the text and discover the masterful way Jesus ties the whole Sermon on the Mount together!

Worship Service for the Week of February 23rd

Sermon: The Greatest Parable

Arguably the greatest parable Jesus ever told was what we call the Parable of the Prodigal Son.  Many have noted that it's equally about the older brother too.  But most significantly it was a story that would have outraged its hearers.  Find out why this Sunday.

Worship Service for the Week of February 16th

Sermon: The Emotions of Jesus

Have you met the Emotional Jesus? Are you ready for an all-feeling Savior in a world that often tells us: "Don't be so emotional!"? On Sunday, Matt Misterek (filling in for Peter) shares a message about the Jesus who was born at a time of rational philosophers and stoics — and turned things upside down.

Worship Service for the Week of February 9th

Sermon: Who Gets the Kingdom?

With great power comes great responsibility.  Before the disciples could really be released to flow in the power of the Kingdom to heal and cast out demons, they needed to learn the values of the Kingdom.  That's what the Sermon on the Mount was all about.  Sunday we look at three "Kingdom values" from the first three Beatitudes.

Worship Service for the Week of February 2nd

Sermon: The King Builds an Army

Jesus came not just preaching the Kingdom but doing the works of the Kingdom.  He healed the sick and cast out demons.  And then he gave that same authority to his disciples.  Question:  Do we still have that authority?  If so, how and when should we be praying for healing and how do we safeguard ourselves from falling into unhealthy extremes?  Those are the questions we will tackle Sunday as we look at nine Biblical clues about healing for the church today.

Worship Service for the Week of January 26th

Sermon: The King Declares War

Jesus began his public ministry preaching the Kingdom and healing every sickness and casting out demons.  Far from "gentle Jesus meek and mild", Jesus came on the scene making a declaration of war!  This Sunday we begin to look at the nature of that war and what our part is in it. 

Worship Service for the Week of January 19th

Sermon: Prepare the Way of the Lord

John the Baptist preached and baptized in the wilderness.  Jesus was sent into and tempted in the wilderness.  Is this just a coincidence or are there implications for us?  Find out on Sunday.

Worship Service for the Week of January 12th

Sermon: Injected

Join us this Sunday as we continue with Christmas!  Tyrean Martinson will bring a word on Luke 1:26-38 which was the moment in time and space in which EVERYTHING changed for humanity forever.  The word became flesh in a poor maiden who said YES to an impossible assignment. 

Worship Service for the Week of January 5th

Sermon: The Coming of the Dawn

Who were the three kings who brought gifts to the baby Jesus in the stable?  Well, first off there weren't three of them and they weren't kings.  And Jesus wasn't a baby and there was no stable.  Find out who they really were and what really happened on Sunday as we celebrate Epiphany!

Worship Service for the Week of December 29th

Sermon: The Silent Years

400 years go by between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament. We call these years the "silent years" because no prophets arose during this time nor were any inspired Scriptures written during this time.  However, God was not really silent.  He was working "under the hood" to get things ready for Jesus.  Join us Sunday as we explore what happened during these forgotten years.

Worship Service for the Week of December 22nd

Sermon: There and Back Again

What do internet dating services and the Old Testament have in common?  Find out Sunday as we begin to wrap up Book One of our "through the Bible" Trilogy and set the stage for Book Two starting in January.

Four Kings beats a Full House!  Pretty good poker hand this Sunday as we look at the lives of FOUR GOOD KINGS of the southern Kingdom of Judah and what we can learn from their stories.

Worship Service for the Week of December 8th

Sermon: The Widow and the General

The most powerful king followed by civil war and the emergence of two kingdoms.  That happens and then it just gets confusing.  Join us Sunday as we make sense of the period of the kings of Israel and Judah and discover an Advent season romance embedded right in the heart of ancient Israel's story.

Worship Service for the Week of December 1st

Sermon: Absalom the Usurper

Join us this Sunday as we begin the season of Advent.  We will light the Prophecy Candle in expectation and hope of the coming of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of David.  And we will also look at the tragic life of another "son of David" (Absalom) and how David's "father-fail" set the stage for a Descendant of his to accomplish what David could not bring himself to do.

Worship Service for the Week of November 24th

Sermon: Seven Lessons from the Life of David

King David sinned just as miserably as King Saul. Yet he was called a man after God's heart. What was it that made David different?  Join us Sunday as we explore that question and discover seven lessons from the life of David.

Worship Service for the Week of November 17th

Sermon: The Tragedy of King Saul

Do you ever feel insecure or have issues of fearing what others think and allowing those fears to impact your decisions and behavior?  King Saul did.  Sunday we will be doing a study in brokenness - King Saul's and ours.

Worship Service for the Week of November 10th

Sermon: What Choice Do We Have?

In the words of Herman's Hermits, "Second verse, same as the first". We find ourselves in the final chapter of Joshua and the Israelites have done it again! In this service Mark Jones preaches from the text where Joshua reminds them, and us, to renew our covenant with the Lord. Also, Hannah Churness will be presenting on her India mission trip.  See you then!

Worship Service for the Week of November 3rd

Sermon: The Life Between

God dramatically rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and into a destiny for them in the Land of Promise that he is taking them to.  But before getting to that land of promise the Israelites experience 40 years of wilderness wandering.  This Sunday we will be doing an overview of that "wilderness wandering" period for God's people and what we can learn about our own wilderness seasons in our lives.

Worship Service for the Week of October 27th

On Sunday we continue our "through the Bible" series with a look at the story of Jacob.  Join us as Tyrean shares about this very complex and flawed individual (like all of us) who became the father of a nation.  Sunday, 9:30am @ Ocean5.

Worship Service for the Week of October 6th

Sermon: The First Believer

The three great monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - each regard him as the father of their faith. But he grew up worshiping  the moon goddess Nana in present day Iraq. His name is Abraham and on Sunday we will explore where his faith in the One True God came from and what it was that made Abraham one of those most significant figures in all of human history.

Worship Service for the Week of September 29th

Sermon: The Flood and the Tower

On Sunday we continue our "through the Bible" series with a look at the next two key events in the early chapters of Genesis:  The Flood and the Tower of Babel.  Why did they happen and what function did they play in God's plan of redemption?  Find out this Sunday, 9:30am @ Ocean5.

Worship Service for the Week of September 22nd

Sermon: The World Before the Flood

Cain killed Abel and then was banished to the east.  Then he found a wife, had a kid and built a city.  So... if Cain is the firstborn of Adam and Eve, where did all the people come from?  Find out one possible answer to that question, along with three core lessons from the Cain and Abel story, this Sunday, 9:30am @ Ocean5.

Worship Service for the Week of September 15th

Sermon: Broken Beautiful World

If the stories of the Bible were a trilogy of books, book one would be the Old Testament, book two would be the gospels and book three would be the history of the early church in the book of Acts.  Or maybe we could give them the three titles of "Diagnosis", "Cure" and "Treatment".  Join us Sunday as we begin a 12 month journey through the Scriptures and see the thread that ties it all together.

Worship Service for the Week of September 8th

Sermon: Peter's Meltdown of Regret

We all have regrets.  What are we supposed to do with them?  On Sunday we'll see four things we're to do with our regrets as we spotlight the Apostle Peter's own meltdown of regret when he made the biggest mistake of his life.

Worship Service for the Week of September 1st

Sermon: Elijah's Meltdown of Depression

What did Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill and Sir Isaac Newton all have in common?  They were individuals who all left a positive mark on history, but who suffered with severe bouts of depression.  Another such individual was the Prophet Elijah.  Join us Sunday as we look at what contributed to Elijah's meltdown of depression and the three things God did to help him out of it.

Worship Service for the Week of August 25th

Worship Service for the Week of August 18th

Sermon: Moses' Anger Meltdown

Moses melted down with anger, more than once. Other heroes of our Faith had emotional meltdowns, too. What does this reveal about God and about ourselves? Join us Sunday as Matt Misterek kicks off a 4-week series on Epic Meltdowns of the Bible – and shares his own Epic Meltdown.

Worship Service for the Week of August 11th

Sermon: Word Studies - Teshuvah

This Sunday we wrap up our four week series called "Words Matter".  Each week we've been doing a word study on a significant Hebrew word in the Old Testament.  Our final word?  Teshuvah!  Often it is translated 'repentance'.  But that's a bit misleading.  Find out why on Sunday.

Worship Service for the Week of August 4th

Worship Service for the Week of July 28th

Sermon: Word Studies - EMUNAH

EMUNAH is the Hebrew word for faith.  But it doesn't exactly mean the same thing as the Greek word for faith.  And the difference is kind of a big deal.  Find out what that difference is Sunday as we continue our Word Studies sermon series.

Worship Service for the Week of July 21st

Sunday we begin a short four week series looking at four very significant words in the Bible and what they teach us about God, ourselves and life.  First word up?  HESED.

Worship Service for the Week of July 7th

Sermon: Jesus Is TOUGH

In our final message of our "character study of Jesus" series we get to some of the harder sayings of Jesus.  But we can now look at these challenging words of Jesus in the context of what we already know about him - that he is compassionate, forgiving, gentle and protective. And we'll be able to conclude that there are times when he also shows some tough love.

Worship Service for the Week of June 30th

Sermon: Jesus Is PROTECTIVE

What triggers you?  You can learn a lot about a person based on that question.  Sunday we will be looking at what triggered Jesus to anger and what that reveals to us about what Jesus most cared about.  We will also be presenting a Bible to the last of our three High School graduates - Amaris Alstead!

Worship Service for the Week of June 23rd

Sermon: Jesus Is GENTLE

Gentle Jesus meek and mild.  Does that truly describe the Jesus who overturned tables in the temple and said I didn't come to bring peace but a sword? And yet... Jesus says in Matthew 11, "I am gentle".  Was Jesus bipolar?  Or did he just have massive mood swings?  Find out Sunday in week three of our series learning about God by looking at the character traits of Jesus.

Worship Service for the Week of May 26

Sermon: The Ending Credits

The grand finale of the book of Romans may seem a bit anticlimactic.  Romans 16 is a bit like watching the credits roll at the end of a movie.  But, it turns out there are some great lessons embedded in the credits!  Join us Sunday as we wrap up our nine month journey through the greatest letter ever written.

Worship Service for the Week of May 19

Sermon: Discerning Your Personal Calling in Life

What is God's purpose for your life?  That's the wrong question.  Paul asks the right question in our Romans 15 text for Sunday... and as it turns out... it answers that first question too!

Worship Service for the Week of May 12

Sermon: When We Passionately Disagree

What do you do when you have a fellow Christian with whom you passionately disagree with about something and you're pretty sure you're right and they are wrong?  Of course this is a complete hypothetical and would NEVER happen in real life... *cough* *cough*.  Join us Sunday as we look at Romans 14 and see five guidelines to use in handling disagreements with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Worship Service for the Week of May 5

Sermon: Follow the Leader?

What does the Bible say about our responsibilities to, and our relationship with, our governing authorities?  Does the Apostle Paul really teach that we need to do everything government employee James Wilborn commands?  Join us this Sunday to hear James Wilborn himself tell us the answer as he gives a message on Paul’s writings in Romans chapter 13 and God’s appointment of earthly rulers and governments.

Worship Service for the Week of April 28th

Worship Service for the Week of April 21st

Sermon: Twelve Marks of the Church

After eleven chapters of Romans giving theology and doctrine, maybe you're the type of person who says, don't give me theory... just tell me what to do!  Be careful what you ask for.  In our text for this coming Sunday we have only five verses but in them are twelve marks of the church - twelve things we're to do as Christians!

Worship Service for the Week of April 14th

Worship Service for the Week of March 10th

Sermon: The Israel Question

Support for the modern day nation of Israel has unfortunately become something of a hot topic these days. What should the Christian's attitude be towards Israel?  Romans 11 gives us some helpful hints towards a balanced perspective.  Join us Sunday as we wrestle together with an important topic.  Text is Romans 10:16-11:12.

Worship Service for the Week of March 3rd

Sermon: The Missions Link

Romans 9 to 11 is not about divine election.  It's about global evangelism.  It's the "missions link" that is often the "missing link" from most studies of the book of Romans. Join us Sunday as we look at Romans 10:1-15 where Paul uses that missions link to start to pull it all together.

Worship Service for the Week of February 25th

Sermon: Clay Pots and The Cornerstone

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know… (what you’re going to get.)
God is the potter. We are the clay.

Find out in this teaching as Tyrean Martinson leads through Romans 9:17-31.

Romans 8 is the chapter everyone loves.  Romans 9 is the chapter everybody skips.  Sunday we begin a new section in Romans 9-11 which on the surface appears to be about happy-fun topics like election and predestination.  But it's actually about something else.  And that 'something else' happens to be the key to the entire book of Romans.  Join us as we start several weeks of exploring three of the most misunderstood chapters in the Bible.

Worship Service for the Week of February 11th

Sermon: Greatest Chapter in the Bible, Part Three

Worship Service for the Week of February 4th

Sermon: Slaves of Righteousness?

Paul in our Romans text for this Sunday (Romans 6:15-23) says that we are no longer a slave to sin but have become a slave of righteousness.  I personally used to struggle with that verse until I learned the secret of what that verse really means.  I'll share that secret with you on Sunday. 

Worship Service for the Week of January 7th

Sermon: The Goal of the Gospel

If salvation is really a free gift and not dependent on how we live, then why can't we just live anyway we want?  That is the question that Paul asks as we move into Part Two of Romans, beginning with Romans chapter 6.  The answer to that question also gives us the keys to how real transformation happens.

Worship Service for the Week of October 22nd

Sermon: The Mirror

Last week the central message of our Romans 2:16-27 text was that Religion Can't Save You!  Well, then what is it good for?  That's the focus this Sunday as Paul wraps up this first major section of Romans and prepares for the greatest pivot in the whole Bible.  Text is Romans 3:1-20.  And the pivot starts in the very next verse!

It was all a set up.  That's what last week's text was, Romans 1:18-32. This Sunday we'll revisit that text and the downward spiral of humanity and the decadence of a corrupt culture flowing from the Fall... and THEN see how Paul springs his trap in Romans 2:1-16. Paul was just setting you and me up. 

Worship Service for the Week of October 1st

Sermon: The Downward Spiral of Humanity

Houston, we have a problem!  Last Sunday we started our new series in the book of Romans by looking at Paul's thesis statement for Romans - that the Gospel is God's power to save everyone!  Starting this Sunday, Paul begins to defend that thesis.  Why the gospel? Why is it so needed?  Why can't there be some other way? Paul forcefully begins to give an answer to those questions in the second half of chapter 1.  This Sunday... Romans 1:18-32.

Worship Service for the Week of September 24th

Sermon: The Thesis Statement

This Sunday we start our new year long series in the Book of Romans!  This will be a rich study in what some consider the greatest letter in the New Testament.  It's Paul's magnum opus!  And it's all about the Gospel of Grace, as well as how to make sense of the Old Testament in the light of Jesus!

Worship Service for the Week of August 27th

Sermon: The Covenant of the Kingdom

It’s been almost one year since Queen Elizabeth II died after being the longest reigning English monarch in history, over 70 years.  And then back in May of this year was good to see Charles finally get a real job at age 73 and stop living off his mom. Isn’t it interesting how fascinated our nation continues to be with the British Royal family?  Why is that?  This Sunday we delve into the answer.

Worship Service for the Week of August 20th

Sermon: The Covenant of the Law

For our summer series we are going through the six covenants of the Old Testament, and as we come on Sunday to the fourth covenant, the Mosaic Covenant, we come to a bit of a plot twist in the salvation drama unfolding in the Old Testament.  This Sunday we'll explore what the plot twist is, and how it plays into the overall storyline of God's great rescue mission of humanity.

Worship Service for the Week of July 2nd

Sermon: Three Abuses of Wealth

In the message for this service we enter into the final chapter of James and the first six verses are a blistering indictment upon the "rich"!  Well... lest you get comfortable, by the world's standards... you are one of these "rich".  In this message we'll see how Scripture (and James) teaches it's no sin to be rich.  But James does identify three abuses of wealth and so it's a warning to all of us.  But he also gives us the solution in the second half of our text.  

Worship Service for the Week of June 25th

Sermon: The Two Greatest Sins

In the message for this service we look at James 4:13-17 and the sin of presumption. But there are actually two other sins that lie just beneath the service of that one.  In fact they may be the two greatest sins in the Bible.  Find out what they are in the message for this Sunday service.

Worship Service for the Week of June 18th

Worship Service for the Week of June 4th

Sermon: Sticks and Stones

Here's an irony for you.  The last few weeks we've been looking at James chapter 2 where the message is, "It's not so much what you say that matters but what you do!"  In this service we move into chapter three where the message is, "But what you say does matter!"  In the message for this Sunday we look at the power of words to direct the course of a life, to bless people, to damage people, to reveal what's inside, and to heal.  

Worship Service for the Week of May 28th

Sermon: Faith and Works

Paul said in Romans 3 that we are justified by faith apart from works.  But James in our sermon text this Sunday says a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.  Join us as we discover how James and Paul are really in complete agreement with each other.  

Worship Service for the Week of May 21st

Sermon: This Is the Way

In this weeks service we finally get to chapter two of James!  James 2:1-13 says we should not show personal favoritism. Who would disagree with that? But James says it with such force and emotion. Why? Why is this such a big deal and what is the real heart of the matter? Find out during the teaching time for this service.

Worship Service for the Week of May 14th

Sermon: The Implanted Word

Worship Service for the Week of May 7th

Sermon: The Sin Cycle

Our text for this service is James 1:12-18 which shows clearly that James is a real pastor who understands the complexities of how human beings work.  Join us as James gives us a remarkably positive solution to a very ancient problem we all share.

Worship Service for the Week of April 30th

Sermon: Asking for Wisdom

James says that if we lack wisdom, we should ask for it.  But what does James mean by wisdom?  It's not what you might expect.  In this service as we dive into James 1:5-8 and see how those verses relate to last weeks text on putting our trials into the joy column of life.

Worship Service for the Week of April 23rd

Sermon: Putting It in the Joy Column of Life

The Book of James teaches us to put our trials and hardships into the joy column of life.  But how do we practically do that?  James tells us that as well.  Join us Sunday as we do a quick introduction to the Book of James and then dive right into the opening verses of James 1:2-4.

Worship Service for the Week of April 16th

Worship Service for the Week of April 2nd

Sermon: Parable of the Net

This service is our Palm Sunday service.  It's also called Passion Sunday because it marks the beginning of Christ's week of passionate suffering for us.  Why has Jesus come to this point?  Why is he here?  What motivated him to come to Jerusalem knowing it would end in his death five days later?  We learn of his motivation in the last of the seven parables of Matthew 13.  Join us as we wrap up one series and enter together into Holy Week.

In this service we will be looking at the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares in our continuing study of the Kingdom Parables of Matthew 13.  It's a parable about how the Kingdom of God is both HERE NOW... but also NOT YET fully.  In other words, it's about the war.

Worship Service for the Week of February 19th

Sermon: Clearing Up the Confusion About Tongues

So what really is the deal with the tongues gift? Is it auto suggestion? Could it sometimes be demonic? Is it legit? And if authentic, what is it's purpose and how should it be used? 1 Corinthians 12, 13 and 14 has the answers. In this service we take a deep dive into what the Bible actually teaches about the gift of tongues as we wrap up our series on the Gifts of the Spirit.

Worship Service for the Week of February 12th

Really excited to have my pastor and mentor with us at One Hope on Sunday, Pastor Paul Anderson.  Paul is an author and speaker who travels and ministers internationally.  He has a special ministry among Lutheran churches and Lutheran pastors in teaching on the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the context of a Lutheran theological perspective and so brings a healthy biblical balance in his approach.  Tomorrow he will be continuing our series on the gifts of the Spirit by teaching on how the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit are like two wings and how we need them both if we're to "fly straight"!

Sermon: The Nature of the Gifts

Worship Service for the Week of January 8th

When it comes to the Bible, how should we view it?  Is it authorative?  Good advice?  Inspiring stories?  Outdated?  Irrelevant?  Well, for the Christian there really is only one answer.  And that is how did Jesus view the Bible.  As Jesus followers we will want to see the Bible as Jesus did.  That's the focus for this message which can also aid us in sharing with others what we believe the Bible is and why.

Worship Service for the Week of July 24th

Sermon: Doing the Work of Pre-Evangelism

Last week we talked about What IS the Gospel?  This week we look at both how to share the gospel and also how to do the work of "pre-evangelism" by helping people wrestle with the questions of...
