The Heart of Living Hope Pursues | Matthew 20:1-16 | Week 3God sovereignly and graciously gives according to His goodness, not our merit. As recipients of His grace, we are freed to live and give with grateful generosity, without comparison or complaint.

The Heart of Living Hope Pursues | Luke 18:9-14 | Week 2God is glorious, holy, and worthy of our deepest reverence, delight, and desire. He is not impressed by outward righteousness, but responds to hearts that come before Him in humble authenticity.

The Heart of Living Hope Pursues | Matthew 13:44-46 | Week 1In these 2 parables we see that the Kingdom of Heaven (KoH) is of surpassing worth – greater than anything this world can offer. It is, therefore, worthy of all that we are and all that we have. We are called to pursue this Eternal Treasure at any cost.

The Heart of Living Hope Serves | Luke 16:19-31 | Week 3A person's response to God in this life determines their eternal destiny, and the consequences after death are fixed and irreversible. This is a sobering truth that must be shared with all people—including those who may make us uncomfortable, whether they are the down and out or the up and out.

The Heart of Living Hope Serves | Luke 15:8-10 | Week 2There are people living near us, often unseen and unnoticed, who are spiritually lost and need someone to seek them out and help them discover the salvation found in Christ.

The Heart of Living Hope Serves | Luke 10:25-37 | Week 1The world is filled with people wounded by the effects of sin. While we cannot meet every need, but God calls us to show compassionate mercy to the broken people He places in our path.

The Heart of Living Hope Serves | Luke 10:25-37 | Week 1The world is filled with people wounded by the effects of sin. While we cannot meet every need, but God calls us to show compassionate mercy to the broken people He places in our path.

The Heart of Living Hope Worships | Matthew 28:1-8 | Week 2 Jesus, who was crucified, has been raised from the dead by the power of God, fulfilling His promises and demonstrating His victory over death. The empty tomb and the angel's announcement call the disciples to respond with faith, reverent awe, and joyful urgency to The King Who Has Conquered!

The Heart of Living Hope Worships | Matthew 21:11 | Week 1 Jesus came into Jerusalem as promised by Zechariah 9:9. The crowds had a sense of who this man was who had come and is the King Who is Coming!

The Heart of Living Hope Transforms | Matthew 13:33 | Week 4In this brief parable, Jesus takes a metaphor that is often used negatively – yeast – and employs it positively to illustrate the pervasive, transforming influence of the Kingdom of Heaven. Though it may begin small and hidden, the Kingdom works powerfully and persistently until it permeates everything.

The Heart of Living Hope Transforms | Matthew 9:16-17 | Week 3In this parable, spoken in the form of a proverbial saying, Jesus uses familiar imagery—new cloth and new wine—to reveal the transforming reality of the New Covenant. His coming does not patch up the old system but inaugurates something entirely new. Those who are born again in Christ must therefore adopt attitudes shaped by the new life He gives.

The Heart of Living Hope Transforms | Luke 16:1-13 | Week 2As disciples of Jesus, Christ must be our highest priority. Every responsibility, desire, and possession must be submitted to and shaped by our allegiance to Him.

The Heart of Living Hope Transforms | Matthew 21:33-44 | Week 1God has not only given life to all humanity and provided the natural blessings necessary to survive and flourish, but He also offers new life to all who will submit to His good and gracious reign and live in loyalty to Him.

The Heart of Living Hope Inspires | Matthew 18:21-35 | Week 4We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, yet in His grace and for His glory, God forgives us and restores us to Himself through the Gospel. Having been forgiven, we are called to forgive others and to pursue restored relationships through Gospel-empowered peacemaking, for God's glory and our good.

The Heart of Living Hope Inspires | Matthew 7:24-27 | Week 3God calls His people to build their lives on the Word of God so that we remain steadfast and unshaken through every storm life brings.

The Heart of Living Hope Inspires | Luke 11:5-13, Matthew 7:7-11 | Week 2God has given us His Son. If He did not withhold His greatest and most precious gift, we have every reason to trust that He will not withhold what is truly good for us. Therefore, we can trust God with every need and request.

The Heart of Living Hope Inspires | Luke 18:1-8 | Week 1Those who are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone have access to the throne of grace through Jesus Christ. Because we have been given such a great gift, disciples of Jesus are inspired to pray.

The Heart of Living Hope Saves | Luke 15:20-24 | Week 3

The Heart of Living Hope Saves | Luke 15:25-30 | Week 2We are often tempted to think too highly of ourselves and too little of God. Like the older brother in Jesus' parable, the dutiful, cold-hearted rule keeper can begin to believe that God owes a reward for outward obedience done for personal gain. But the Father lovingly invites us out of the cold and into the warmth of His house where The Heart of Living Hope offers new life filled with hope, joy, and peace.

The Heart of Living Hope Saves | Luke 15:11-20a | Week 1We often think too much of ourselves and too little of God. For those who think God is limiting them, they can come to know and be set free by The Heart of Living Hope and be saved.
