Living Hope Baptist Church

Songs of the Redeemed | PSALM 2 | Week 1This Messianic Psalm tells of the sonship, might, dominion, and holy justice of Christ and the importance of having peace with Him, as the Redeemed.

Miracles Are Real! | 2 SAMUEL 5 | Week 5David's reign began at 30, just as Jesus' public ministry began at 30. David slowly advanced and unified the nation. Jesus slowly revealed His identity and made the Kingdom come (Mark 1:15).

S2E11: Trey and Bellamy Lyon were missionaries in Southeast Asia for 13 years. In this episode we talk about their call to international missions, their ministry on and off the field, and how to care well for missionaries.

Miracles Are Real! | 1 SAMUEL 24 | Week 4Jesus was tempted to bypass the cross and take on a corrupted Kingdom. He would not do it. David would not either. David pictures Jesus who honored God's plan and purpose through sacrifice.

S2E10: We talk with local sent partner, Leah Walker. Take a listen to her story as she lives out her calling of teaching and discipling college students, not only through her vocation, but also through how she lives life, literally! She is a landlord to some of these students in her own home. Leah was on the women's panel during the Ignite Conference, we hope you enjoy diving deeper into her story.  

Miracles Are Real | 1 SAMUEL 17 | Week 3Jesus has defeated the enemy no one else could – sin. He proved His victory through His resurrection. We can now rise with Jesus and defeat the sin in our lives.

S2E9: The Apostle Paul states in 1 Corinthians 9:22-23: "I have become all things to all people, so that I may by all means save some. I do all things for the sake of the gospel…" What does that mean? I believe that Paul was considerate of the culture he was ministering in so that the Gospel would not be hindered. This session will discuss how to develop a model of cultural sensitivity for any culture that is not your own. Thomas talks on his lessons learned in Japan. 

Miracles Are Real | 1 SAMUEL 3; 16:1-13 | Week 2Jesus has come. He is coming again! He is our hero. Samuel and David picture Jesus as heroes who arose to save and lead God's people, as Jesus now does to rescue and soon restore all things.

S2E8: When we are on God's mission, with Him, we are assured that trials will (and do) come. What does the Bible have to say about joy in the midst of suffering? Specifically while on mission. John Fisher dives into God's word on that subject in Gods word, Christian history and your story!

S2E7: We talk through practical applications from J.D. Payne's 3rd Keynote where he took us through Colossians to describe six principles of a sent life.

Miracles Are Real | 1 SAMUEL 1:1-2:11 | Week 1All babies are miracles. Samuel and Jesus were miracle babies. Their mothers were not able to get pregnant naturally, but God miraculous provided. The mothers' songs speak to our promised hope in Jesus.

Behold Your King | ZECHARIAH 9:11-12⁠ | Week 2God promised to make an eternal covenant that would set us free and restore us to Himself and to the people we were designed to be.

Behold Your King | ZECHARIAH 9:9 | Week 1God promised the Triumphant Entry. Jesus came humbly, according to the Scripture, to provide His great salvation.

S2E5: Author, Professor, and speaker J.D. Payne talked about how Jesus sends out his church, we dive into practically what that means.  

S2E4: Author, Professor, and speaker J.D. Payne takes us through the gospel of John to look at the son who sends and how through his sentness, he sends others out. 

When Life Gets Tough | RUTH 2:1-4:12 | Week 4When we choose to walk by faith in obedience to God's word, we enjoy God's provision. We don't see all that God sees. We can trust Him to provide.

When Life Gets Tough | RUTH 1 | Week 3We are like sheep. We run away from one set of problems into another set when we abandon the Shepherd and the flock. We must remain with or return to God's people.

S2E3: J.D. Payne dove deep into the Old Testament talking about the Father who sends, but what does that mean for us? Take a listen to this episode as we unpack the importance and practicality of this message of sentness for everyday life.

S2E2: Author, professor, pastor, and speaker Dr. J.D. Payne takes us through the Old Testament to discover the Father who sends. Payne will explain "sending" as a characteristic of God and how He sends Himself into His creation. Then, in light of that, Payne ends by taking us through a big picture scope of global lostness.

When Life Gets Tough | JUDGES 7 | Week 2God does not need us, but He delights for us to join Him in what He is doing in the world. He calls us to walk by faith and not by sight, and to trust in His power and not our strength.

S2E1: What is the Ignite Conference? In November 2024, Living Hope hosted the Ignite Conference for local churches. This conference is all about missions with the theme being, "You are Sent!" Kara and Jacob discuss the Ignite Conference with Clay Mullins, the mastermind behind the event. We discuss the heart behind the conference, as well as the fruit that we have seen in those who attended. Season 2 of The Sent Project will revolve around the conference and include the main sessions and a few breakouts.

When Life Gets Tough | JUDGES 2:16-23 | Week 1God's people will be in “terrible distress” (2:15b), when they are being disciplined by God. We must learn to obey God or face our Father's correction.

Once Upon A Time | DEUTERONOMY 31:1-8 | Week 9God leads us in Jesus. We no longer rely on people, rules, or ceremonies – the way of religion. Moses' death provided the ability for the people to enter God's promise by God leading them through Joshua. The death and resurrection of Jesus provides us the ability to enter God's promise and be led by the Spirit.

Once Upon A Time | NUMBERS 21:4-9 | Week 8God sees our natural rebellion. The curse for it is severe. If we will look to Jesus, as Israel looked to the bronze serpent, we will be saved.

Once Upon A Time | LEVITICUS 10:1-3 | Week 7God has provided the only means by which we can enter His presence – Jesus. All other ways lead to destruction.

Once Upon A Time |EXODUS 12:1-20:21 | Week 6God saved Israel from the bondage of slavery by the blood of the lamb, led them through water, gave them the law to sanctify them, and led them to the promised land. God's people are saved by the blood of The Lamb, are baptized through water, are given the Spirit and Word to be sanctified, and are being led to heaven – the promised land.

Once Upon A Time | GENESIS 50:15-21 | Week 5 There are no accidents. There is only providence. It was no accident that, like Joseph, Jesus was rejected by His brothers, abandoned by His friends, and suffered injustice. It was for God's purpose.

Once Upon A Time | GENESIS 32:22-32 | Week 4 God allows us to go through difficulties. He will often wrestle with us to get us to surrender to Him. When we submit to God through faith in Jesus, we get a new name, purpose, and identity.

Once Upon A Time | GENESIS 22:1-19 | Week 3 God did what Abraham did not have to do. God gave His only Son to save us from sin.

Once Upon a Time | GENESIS 6:5-8:18 | Week 2 God's judgment is coming. It will bring about something the world has never seen. His provision to save must be entered into before it's too late. That's how it was in the days of Noah. Jesus is the boat that saves from God's just judgment all who enter His Covenant of Grace by faith.

When their marriage was on the rocks, JP and Brianna Miller found their rescue, restoration and joy in the Lord. This is the latest in our Stories of Hope series, highlighting real people connecting to real faith in the gospel that brings hope in a broken world.

Once Upon A Time | GENESIS 3 | Week 1 Humanity committed treason and fell into sin and judgment. God did not abandon us. God provided a blood sacrifice and a covering along with His promises. This provision pointed to Jesus and had the power to save because of Jesus.

Pastor Chad Groff

Refresh Your Light | 1 JOHN 4:7-12 | Week 3 We were made for love. Sin turns love into something less that what God made it to be. In Christ, God makes real love available. God is love. Without God in Christ, we can never have the pure, holy love that heals hurts and changes lives.

Episode 7 of The Sent Project podcast.

Refresh Your Perspective | James 1:14-15 | Week 4 A smart phone is a tool. It will either be a tool that you use to do your work that is meant to form you into Christ's image, or it will be a tool that someone else uses to form you into what they want.

In Part 2 of The Power of Testimony, we continue the conversation on testimonies by sharing parts of our own stories, and how you can share your testimony.

Refresh Your Perspective | Hebrews 12:1-3 | Week 2 God calls us to a life of significance that impacts others and provides a clear path forward by faith. Happiness is a consequence of the Christian life. It's not the goal.
