Hope City Community Church Podcast

Join us as Elder Troy Peaden kicks off our summer series, “Summer in the Psalms.” This week, we take a technical deep dive into Psalm 37, unpacking its wisdom for living faithfully amid life's trials. With thoughtful insight and practical truth, this message helps us reflect on God's justice, transformation and our identity in Christ. 

In this week's message, we explore Colossians 2:6–10 and the powerful “Domino Effect” of living a life rooted in Christ. Elder Troy Peaden unpacks three action steps—Follow, Root, and Build—and how they lead to a life marked by growing faith and overflowing thankfulness.

Sowing and Reaping is a principle that is so powerful that even God uses it! We pray that your understanding will be increased as we finish the study of Sowing and Reaping. 

Sowing and Reaping is a principle that God put in place to bless His people. Our understanding of this principle dictates the existence of blessings and in some cases problems. We pray that you are blessed by this episode and that you begin to function in greater Wisdom.

Decisions have only two outcomes, consequences or blessings. Wisdom is knowing that we can position ourselves for blessing with the right decisions. We pray that this episode brings you closer to fulfilling God's plan for your life!

Salvation is a free gift but it challenges the saved to become part of the rescue mission. You are rescued to the go rescue others! We pray that this episode enlightens you to the purpose of your gifts and influence.

Easter 2025! In this episode we celebrate the resurrection by investigating its power and purpose. We pray that this teaching is a blessing to all who hear it.

The death of Jesus Christ was unlike any death before or after. The phenomena that surrounded the moment He “released His spirit” signified that a rescue mission was in its final stages. We pray that this episode reminds you that our hope is well founded in Christ! 

God knew that we would need to be rescued long before we ever needed it. Heaven dispatched a rescue mission in the form of a baby in the manger. Since then, the world has never been the same!

In this week's message we dive deep into the Bible to see how we can obtain a pure heart. The Word of God tells us that those who have a pure heart will see God! We pray that this episode encourages you in your walk with God.

Mercy is one of the greatest gifts that God has promised us in His Word. In this episode we discuss the importance of mercy and the fact that we have so much of it through Christ Jesus! We pray that it blesses you!

Advancing the Kingdom of Heaven is not always easy. However, we must remember that our calling is specific, and our reward is eternal. Opposition arises only when there is an adversary. The persecution we endure is an unmistakable sign from the Enemy that we are making progress in this battle between good and evil.

Making peace isn't always easy. There are complexities in us and others that delay that peace from being achieved. It's not until we submit our lives fully to the truth and grace of Jesus that we can truly become peacemakers.

Our appetites change over time, we mature into different desires. The same should be said about our spiritual desires, they should change as we grow into Christ. In this episode, we take a look at Matthew chapter five verse six. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled”.

Being meek is rarely a character trait that comes to mind when we think strength. The scripture, however, tells us a different story. In this episode we discover why the scripture tells us that the “meek shall inherit the Earth”.

To the untrained eye, there could never be blessings in mourning. After all, we mourn what we lack and desire! What could possibly be blessed about loss? In this episode, we dig deeper to see what Jesus really meant when He said, “Blessed are those who mourn”.

Jesus said that those who are “poor in spirit” are blessed. Being poor is not a blessing! So what did Jesus mean when he said this? In this episode, we will dive into scripture to see what Christ meant concerning the Kingdom of Heaven.

God's Word is always true! In this episode we discover what the scripture says about tithing. We trust that the Word of God will never return void and that you will experience what generosity brings into your life.

In the book of Exodus, God sent Moses a man named Aaron to help him. God commonly uses another person for our biggest blessings! We hope that this message encourages you to seek out Godly community!

God has given each of us a unique capability that the Bible calls a gift. We have a mandate from Heaven to use these gifts to be a blessing to those around us. We pray that this episode challenges you to serve where you are with what you have!

This week, we dive into a message about a Fruit of the Spirit, specifically Gentleness.  While we define Gentleness as "power under self-control", we also identify six keys to understanding and applying God's Word to our lives.

The spiritual fruit of faithfulness shines through our dedication to Christ, showing an unwavering commitment to love God and to love others, regardless of circumstances. Faithfulness is a reflection of God's enduring love working through us.

The goodness of God is evident if you'll just take a look around you. Life may not meet our expectations but we are still recipients of God's goodness. We pray that this episode blesses you and reminds you that you are blessed and beloved of God! HIS GOODNESS IS FOR YOU!

Kindness has become a rarity in our current society. With kindness and empathy being so rare, it has become more valuable and precious than ever before. In this episode, we discuss the importance of kindness and how it can be used to make eternal impacts!

Patience, or long-suffering, as it's called in certain Biblical translations, is a hard earned fruit of the Spirit. It's not only hard earned but it's only given to those who endure time and trial. We pray that this episode will challenge you and encourage you in your pursuit of patience.

Peace for eternity is covered by Jesus! Peace in our lives can be affected by our decisions. We chose our relationships and the thoughts that we entertain. If we steward these two areas according to scripture then we will experience more peace. We pray that this episode blesses you and increases your understanding.

Joy is not an emotion! Joy is a Fruit of the Spirit that remains even when we don't feel happy, even when we have hard days, or experience loss. Our JOY is immovable because the Sacrifice of Jesus is immovable. In this episode, we take a deep look at Joy and its purpose and position in our lives.

The Bible speaks about “Fruit of the Spirit” in Galatians chapter 5. These are characteristics that should be found in every believer! In this episode we take a look at the first of the nine fruit… LOVE.

In our society, it's seems that anxiety is rampant and taking more prisoners by the day. The Word of God tells us to be ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING! Join us in this episode as we examine the scriptures to help us overcome anxiety!

The Holy Spirit desires to be with us! He desires to be a part of our daily lives! In this episode we look at the true nature and purpose of the Holy Spirit. We pray that you will make knowing the Holy Spirit a priority of your life.

God desires to be with us! The only thing that prevented that from happening was our sin. Knowing this, God sent Jesus to step into this world to overcome the sin that overcame us! In this episode, we discuss the importance of Jesus and the wonderful gift of eternal life that He made available to us! 

The concept of God has been mistaken and misguided long before contemporary history. God cannot be understood in His wholeness as we are limited in our finite knowledge. The Bible gives us all of the information that we need to know what God wants us to know for now. He loves us and wants to spend eternity with us! We pray that this discussion of God and His nature will be a blessing to you!

God has always had a plan to use men to build and rebuild for His Kingdom. In today's episode, we discuss the importance of men taking their positions on the broken walls of our society.

Is it possible to bless a person who is cursing you? Is it possible to bless those who despitefully use you? According to the scripture, not only is it possible, it's asked of us!
