We are all going somewhere. The questions we ask are: Where are you going? Why are you going? Who are you going with? Hope Wesleyan Church Galesburg, Illinois www.galesburghope.org "Bringing Hope to Life"

Listen this week as we hear a special message from Pastor Steve DeNeff, College Wesleyan Church. This message was originally shared with his congregation and is now being shared with ours at Hope. "Bringing Hope to Life" Hope Wesleyan Church Galesburg, Illinois www.galesburghope.org

A coffee shop without wifi is like a church without Jesus or a Christian without Love. It shouldn't happen, but it does. May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. (1 Thessalonians 3:12-13, 5:23-24) "Bringing Hope to Life" Hope Wesleyan Church Galesburg, Illinois www.galesburghope.org

How do we live in complex and challenging times? In 1 Thessalonians, Paul writes a letter filled with encouragement and joy to an early young church and shows them, and us, how to live in the midst of challenge. Listen to today's message from Hope Wesleyan Church as Pastor Stephen shares with us from the book of 1 Thessalonians.

We can feel like the world around us is shifting rapidly. Many times we can find ourselves saying, "This is not the life I expected. This is not how things are supposed to be." David, in Psalm 66, gives us a picture of how to live in the midst of shifting times. Hope Wesleyan Church Galesburg, Illinois "Bringing Hope to Life" http://www.galesburghope.org

Each week at Hope we come to the Lord's Table and share the elements of bread and juice together. In today's message, we talk together about why we come to this table so regularly and it is so important that we do so.

Walkthrough a store and look at the people around you. We are a funny lot. An infinite variety of shapes and sizes, colors and skills. Yet despite all the uniqueness, everyone you look at is living and functioning. In Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth, he describes the church as a body. One with many different parts, but each part is essential to the life and health of the other. In this our final week of Soul Shift, we consider the shift from living as an individual to living as a connected community, loving and serving our world.

The cross, the ultimate symbol of defeat becomes the power of transformation and life. Hope Wesleyan Church Galesburg, Illinois "Bringing Hope to Life" https://www.galesburghope.org

The shift in our lives from sheep to shepherd is a change in our lives from following the crowd to leading, loving, and serving like Jesus. Join us this week for Palm Sunday and Soul Shift. Hope Wesleyan Church Galesburg, Illinois "Bringing Hope to Life" https://www.galesburghope.org

Admit it. Whenever you hear a preacher talk about stewardship, you know to hide your wallet because we are going to build a building. What if stewardship was about more than money, much more? Stewardship is life. Relationships. Creation. God. Health. Wholeness. Join us this week as we talk about the critical shift in our spiritual growth from consumer to steward. Hope Wesleyan Church Galesburg, Illinois "Bringing Hope to Life" https://www.galesburghope.org

Have you ever lost anything? Not just misplaced, but searching and searching for hours and hours, maybe even days. Finally, at the point of total frustration, you give up and ask someone if they know where it is. And what do they do? Reach out and pick up the item. It was in plain sight all along, but you couldn't see it. This week, as we continue our conversation about the measures of a life transformed, we talk together about the shift in perspective from Seen to Unseen. Join us! Have a prayer request?

Children, teenagers, adults all ask the same question: Who am I? The second measure of life transformed calls us to claim and live into our identity as children of God. Hope Wesleyan Church Galesburg, Illinois "Bringing Hope to Life" https://www.galesburghope.org

We are all wired for self-preservation. From birth, our first struggles are selfish ones. And we would like to keep it that way. The shift from Me to You is a shift in orientation from focussing on ourselves to focusing on others. It is a shift from pride to love.
