Faith and Hope Church

Did you know the story of the prodigal son is actually a story of two LOST sons? In this message we hear the other side of the story, the other son that is close (physically) to the father yet so far away from his heart. Too often we’re like that older brother. We can be "good" Christians and do all the right things yet so far away from the fathers heart.

When God looks at you what is God filled with? Disappointment? anger? frustration? How you answer that question says a lot about how you see our Heavenly Father. In the story of the prodigal son Jesus paints the picture of what God thinks about, when he thinks about YOU.

In Luke 15 Jesus tells three parables that talk about being LOST. He tells these parables in response to a group of Pharisees (the religious leaders of his time) who is criticizing him for eating and hanging out with people that didn't look like him, believe like him or see the world like him.

You were Made to Go More but before you can GO you have to be honest about where you are. Listen as Pastor Armando talks about the importance of commitment and what it takes to stay committed.

In todays message we are reminded that the church is not a building, event, experience or a product but that the church is a movement and the body of Christ. The world is longing to see the church be more than just a building or an organization but the embodiment of the risen Christ.

You can usually tell what someone believes in by what they wear. You see this in sports, you see this in politics and you also see this in many religions. If what we wear indicates what we believe in and trust then what are Jesus followers supposed to look like? What do they wear?In this message Pastor Drew indicates the one thing we are supposed to be known for: Love.

Every story has a beginning and an end but the most important part of every story is the author. Who is writing your story? This week we begin a series of talks on being MADE for MORE. You were created to BE MORE.

towards the end of the movie "Catch me if you can" there's a line that speaks so much truth about our lives and our culture: "Sometimes it's easier living a lie". Because of the expectations and pressure people put on us so many times we can find ourselves living someone else life. So the question we need to answer is whose life are you living? the one God has designed for you or the one culture/family/friends/church is expecting you to live?

Feelings. We all have them but many of us don't embrace them. From a very young age we are conditioned not to feel, not to cry, not to show our true emotions yet we all know that this is not healthy. Scripture shows us not to deny and not let our emotions run free but to pray through our emotions. Pastor Drew walks us through Psalms 22 and shows us what praying through your emotions looks like.

God designed you for a specific purpose with unique gifts to be a blessing to this world. So many times we play the comparison game not knowing that we are missing out on what God wants to do in our lives. Pastor Roger Sanchez is our guest preacher and brings a timely word on the comparison trap we all tend to fall into. Faith and Hope Church 8431 State Street South Gate, CA @faithandhope.church

Everyone blames. We blame politics, we blame conservatives, we blame liberals, we blame our parents, we blame our circumstances but nothing will change in our lives until we decide to take ownership of our lives. In this message Ps. Drew explains how taking full ownership is the Jesus way and also changes your life. #faithandhope #Churchonline #fye #southgate

Regardless of how 2020 has been for you God still has a plan and a promise for all of us. The Promise will require obedience and a knife in the right hands. A knife to cut, a time to heal and then a moment to roll away all our shame. We had the honor of having Pastor Jose Rodriguez, C.E.O of Rescue a Generation. He brought a word timely for our church and for you in the mist of this pandemic.

A few things we know about worry; it's useless, it's not productive and it doesn't make us sleep better at night, so why do we continue to do it? In this message we will explore how to deal with worry and anxiety.

2020 has been one of those years where its filled with twist and with turns and at times it's hard to navigate. In this message Pastor Drew examines the life of the prophet Habakkuk and shows us what did when his life was filled with twist and turns: He prayed for Revival, He Remembered Gods goodness and he Choose Joy.

The valleys are not meant to be dead ends but to grow us, mature us and make our faith stronger. Listen in as Pastor Armando talks about having an unshakable faith in the mist of the valley.

Have you ever been in a situation and wondered “how long will this last?” This year seems to be one of those years. Listen in as Pastor Drew shares a timely message on waiting and getting perspective whenever we face problems.

When everything else seems to be filled with fear, anxiety and despair how do we make sure our faith in unshakable? join us as Cinthia Jimenez bring a timely word on the power of Faith in a fear filled world.

Everyone has an opinion about Jesus. Some people see Jesus as a teacher, some see him as a prophet others as a miracle worker with great lessons but very few people see him as a KING. Why is that? In this episode Pastor Drew explains what it means to prepare our Hearts for a King.

The one emotion that will hold us back from encountering God but no one ever admits they struggle with is Greed. In this message Pastor Drew explains how we are more rich than we really believe and what we do with our wealth matters.

We are all serving someone, the question is WHO are we serving?

Pastor Armando reminds us that the first Christmas story included some not so popular characters: Shepherds. It’s a reminder that the kingdom of God isn’t just for insiders but for outsiders, like shepherds, like the poor classes where Mary and Joseph came from.

When disappointments hit our lives the last thing we want to think about are the holidays, God or being faithful BUT the Christmas story is a story for all of us especially those that feel disappointed with God and life. Pastor Armando reminds us that our faith and hope in God is never in vain.

5 years from now where do you see your family? What do you want your family to look like in 5 years? Your family will end up somewhere, your marriage will end up somewhere, your relationships and dating relationships will end up somewhere but what are YOU going to do about it? In this message...

Sometimes the process doesn’t work because we grow impatient to wait on the promises of God. Are you allowing God to lead your life? In this message Pastor Chris shows us that God wants to lead your life, he wants you believe and he is asking for your obedience.

Pauls prayer for the church was simple: That they would receive revelation, that they would know their worth and that they would experience Gods power in their lives. That prayer continues to be true for us today.
