Podcasts about Living Hope

We can evaluate God and His actions rightly based upon the parameters He has given in the Scriptures about Himself. When someone says “God did this” or “God did that” we must see if it fits with what we know about God. Romans 11:33-36; Genesis 1:1-5 God is much bigger than we can know, a thimble compared to an ocean. However, there is much about Him that we can know by His creation and His Word. Ignorance and wrong teaching has muddled our thimble. GOD HAS INTEGRITY – HE CANNOT LIE Numbers 23:19; Titus 1:2 GOD IS LOVE – 1 John 4:16 GOD IS ALWAYS JUST – Deuteronomy 32:3-4; Psalm 89:14 GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL James 1:17; Lamentations 3:22-23; GOD IS LIGHT WITHOUT ANY DARKNESS 1 John 1:5 God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. GOD KNOWS THE HEART OF MAN Jeremiah 17:10; Psalm 139:1-4 GOD KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING – Isaiah 46:9-10 Humans have free will – Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15; Isaiah 1:19-20; 2 Chronicles 15:2, 4, and 15; Matthew 23:37 Adam, Eve and Cain had self-determination – Genesis 4:7 Cherubim and angels have free will – Ezekiel 28:12-19; Isai-ah 14:13-14 The devil is the cause of evil, not God -2 Corinthians 4:4, 11:3; Revelation 12:9 What is the cause of war? – James 4:1-3 Who is the cause of death? – Hebrews 2:14; John 10:10The post Who Told You That?

Message from Cam Potts on September 28, 2025

In this episode, Pastor Chris looks to the book of Luke to look at Jesus' instruction and promise to the Disciples from chapter 22. While in closing out the events in the upper room, Jesus reminded us that the way of a disciple is radically different from the way of a non-believer. The Kingdom runs on much different principles than what we know in the flesh. While the world looks to be served, followers of Christ look to serve. We also look forward with great hope toward the promise that one day, Jesus will reward all his followers. The way of Christ is very different, but is so much better.

1 Peter - You are to rejoice for the living hope you have in Christ. For in Him you have new life, you receive a certain inheritance, and He even uses your trials to complete His work in you.

1 Peter 3:13 - 4:6by Dan Clark

Revelation Series - Week 1:  In this first week of the Revelation series Pastor Matt reminds us we are called to be active participants in the world but must avoid becoming entangled in its systems, maintaining our spiritual integrity and mission focus.

Jesus is our living hope. Hope in the word, hope in His love. Hope in His promises.

Today the guys continue our study and examine 1 Peter 1:3–9. To choose allegiance to Christ and His Kingdom is to enter into conflict and enmity with the world wherever you may roam. What does it mean that our inheritance is kept in heaven? Are we Livin' on a Prayer, or is it true that the world Can't Touch This salvation we hope for as we follow The Man, the Lord Jesus Christ? Don't Stop Believin'—don't miss out on the great things God is calling us into! Pick your walk-up song and get ready for the endgame in today's episode of the After Class Podcast.

Like the ancient texts in The Mummy, God's “backwards” truths become the key to real victory and transformation. 1. The Bible is not Boring — It's a Living Adventure The Bible is alive and powerful: “For the word of God is living and active…” (Hebrews 4:12). Features real stories of adventure and faith, such as David vs. Goliath, Paul's shipwreck, and the Resurrection. These are eyewitness accounts, not legends (2 Peter 1:16). 2. The Bible is not Bigoted — It's Radically Inclusive God's love is extended to every nation and people group. Women are empowered: Deborah, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla. Outsiders are welcomed: The Ethiopian eunuch receives the gospel (Acts 8). Scriptures: Galatians 3:28, John 3:16, Revelation 7:9 highlight inclusivity. 3. The Bible is not Backwards — But it is Backwards to the World God's wisdom often challenges worldly values. True success means honoring God above all else, as modeled by Jesus. “Backwards” actions: forgiving enemies, generosity, sacrificial living. Scriptures: Matthew 6:33, 1 Corinthians 1:18 demonstrate the power and purpose in “backwards” living. Psalm 1:1–3: Those who delight in God's law are deeply rooted and blessed. The post Who Told You That? The Bible is Boring, Bigoted, & Backwards first appeared on Living Hope.

“Are you building your life on the Rock—or on shifting sand? Discover how true freedom in Christ sets you free and equips you to set others free.”The Rock: Free People, Free PeopleThis week's message from The Rock series dives into Isaiah 61 and Matthew 7, calling us to live truly anchored on Jesus Christ—the Rock of our salvation. Freedom in Christ is not just about heaven someday; it's about walking unbound today.Pastor challenges us to examine our foundations—are we building on the Rock or on shifting sand like money, politics, relationships, or fear? True freedom comes only through Jesus, and free people are called to set others free.This message reminds us that the Church cannot remain apathetic in these last days. We are called to disciple, to shine as light in the darkness, and to be the hands and feet of Jesus. The question is: Are you living free? And if so, who are you helping to find that freedom?Welcome to Living Hope Church! These podcasts are our weekly Sunday sermons. We hope you enjoy them.

1 Peter 1: 3-12

Living Hope, part 11. Rahab's dark past as a prostitute did not disqualify her from becoming a hero of faith, and all that God had in store for her. We, like her, have been washed, sanctified and justified by the grace of God. By Clive Cernik.

1 Peter 2:11-3:12 by Andrew Tran

Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good; Happy are those who take refuge in him. The lost are those who have yet to take refuge in God. They haven't tasted and seen that Yahweh is good. These are the people we are called to reach. Luke 19:1-2 Zaccheus was a bad man, engaged in a despicable profession that betrayed and exploited his own people. Luke 19:3-6 Jesus noticed Zaccheus. He wasn't so busy or task-oriented that he missed the wealthy man who had climbed the tree. As a high-status rabbi, inviting himself over to Zaccheus's house was a huge honor to Zaccheus. Luke 19:7 There will always be critics when you spend time with the lost. Even so, we want to be like Jesus and seek out those who are spiritually hungry. Luke 19:8-9 Zaccheus repented on the spot. He's ready to change his life. Love calls for a response. Martin Luther King used to say that love had within it a redemptive power. Luke 19:10 Jesus came to seek out and to save the lost. If you want to be like Jesus, you, too, should seek out the lost. Those who are lost really need help (Eph 2:12).The post Reaching the Lost first appeared on Living Hope.

Message from Drew Heurion on September 14, 2025

Preacher: Caleb Maskel  1 Peter 1: 1-29, 13-23, 25 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God's elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. Praise to God for a Living Hope 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God. 22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.  And this is the word that was preached to you.

I’d like to dedicate this episode to my mother, Mimi Finnegan who fell asleep in death yesterday. It was such a surreal experience, standing by that hospital bed with my brothers and sisters and dad. We had so much confusion regarding her prognosis, but eventually it became clear that she had very little time left. We prayed for her, read scripture to her, played some of her favorite Christian songs, and said goodbye to her. But what really grabbed my attention was her smile. She kept smiling as she knew she was dying. She was quite alert and able to talk. When it came time to take her off the machines that were pumping medication with diminishing returns into her, she joyfully authorized their removal. I’ve never seen someone with such a firm grip on the hope of resurrection in the face of death. Honestly, it was inspiring. Christian hope is really important, really transformative, and really crucial during times of suffering. Just knowing that there is a resurrection and that I will be able to see my mom again is a lifeline I’m clinging tightly to right now. Anyhow, this is a sermon I preached about a year ago at our church, which is called Living Hope. I hope it will encourage you to recognize the power of hope in your life.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— More about Mimi Finnegan here Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Restitutio Facebook Group, follow on X @RestitutioSF or Instagram @Sean.P.Finnegan Leave a voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play it out on the air Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here Get Finnegan’s book, Kingdom Journey to learn about God’s kingdom coming on earth as well as the story of how Christianity lost this pearl of great price.

In this heartfelt episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, host Lynn Nitcher sits down with special guest Amanda Guillot for an honest and deeply meaningful conversation about navigating motherhood after losing a parent to suicide.As part of Suicide Awareness Week, Lynn and Amanda gently walk through Amanda's story—how losing her mom shaped her as a daughter, a woman of faith, and now, as a mom raising three children of her own. Together, they explore how grief doesn't have to define you, how God brings healing through His presence and people, and the power of staying rooted in hope through seasons of sorrow.We also talk practically about:Parenting through grief and learning to be honest with your kidsHow Amanda has intentionally built a home filled with grace, safety, and open conversationsThe impact of losing a parent on milestone momentsWhy godly mentors and community matter so deeplyWhat the Bible says about comfort, loss, and hopeWith Scripture, statistics, and real-life perspective, this episode is both a sacred space for moms who have experienced loss and an important listen for any mom wanting to lead with compassion, intention, and faith—especially during the teenage years.

1 Peter is a letter written to be shared with all Christians in the early years of the church in a time of great persecution. Peter walked with Jesus, learned from Jesus, and launched the movement of the church. This letter helps us find hope in the midst of suffering, inspiration to live distinctly as followers of Jesus, and find purpose when we are pushed on every side to give up or conform. This week, we explore 1 Peter 1:1-12 ESV and the Living Hope that fuels our endurance in suffering. Speaker: Michae Bayne Text: 1 Peter 1:1-12 ESV

Phase 1: The Garden of Eden ( Gen 1:26; 2:17 ) God's policies were minimal and simple: ( 1 ) have children, ( 2 ) rule the world, and ( 3 ) don't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Phase 2: The Old World ( Gen 4:26; 5:22 ) People invoked the name of God. Enoch walked with God, but over time, wickedness and violence spread like a plague resulting in the great reset of Noah's flood. Phase 3: The New World ( Gen 9:1-11; 11:6-9 ) God initiated three changes in policy: ( 1 ) humans could now eat meat, ( 2 ) no more global floods, and ( 3 ) capital punishment for murderers. Sadly, humanity rebelled with the result that God confused the languages. Phase 4: Covenant with Abraham ( Gen 12:1-3 ) After Abraham trusted God, God committed to him and his descendants to be their God, bless them, and give them a land. Phase 5: Covenant with Israel ( Exod 20:1-17 ) After rescuing Israel from Egypt, God gave Moses laws to write down. In the 40th year, God provided updates and new laws ( Exod 21:2 vs. Deut 15:12-14, 17 ). Phase 6: New Covenant ( Luke 22:19-20; Jer 31:31-32; Psalm 110:4; Heb 8:13; 7:11- 12, 22; Gal 3:23-26 ) Jesus brought new instruction. His death ratified a new covenant, that opened up a new relationship on the basis of faith not ancestry. Phase 7: The Kingdom of God ( Dan 7; Rev 21-22 ) When Christ returns, he will resurrect the faithful, establish God's kingdom on earth, and usher in an age of enduring peace, justice, and loveThe post Progressive Revelation first appeared on Living Hope.

Message from Cam Potts on September 7, 2025

In this sermon from our series The Rock, we explore what it means that Jesus is our solid foundation and our faithful provider. Drawing from Matthew 7:25, Exodus 20:17, and Genesis 22, we look at the danger of covetousness and the hope we find in God's provision.Abraham's test with Isaac shows us a powerful truth: the Lord will provide. Just as God supplied a ram in place of Isaac, He has provided Jesus as the ultimate substitute for our sins. Where we broke God's law, Jesus paid the price. He is our Rock, our Provider, and our Savior.If you've ever struggled with envy, discontentment, or the temptation to trust in prosperity rather than God, this message will encourage you to rest in Christ alone. On Christ the solid Rock we stand—all other ground is sinking sand.Topics Covered:God as our Rock and foundation (Matthew 7:25)The sin of covetousness (Exodus 20:17)False prosperity gospel vs. true provisionAbraham and Isaac: “The Lord will Provide” (Genesis 22)Jesus as our substitute and Savior#GodsProvisionSermon, #JehovahJirehSermon, #YahwehYireh, #JesusOurRockSermon, #CovetousnessInTheBible, #AbrahamAndIsaacSermon, #Genesis22Sermon, #ProvisionOfGod, #ChristianSermonOnProvision, #TrustingGodSermonWelcome to Living Hope Church!

We live in a world full of stress—finances, jobs, family, health, politics, and even the little things like unread notifications or Netflix choices. But while stress is unavoidable, where we take it makes all the difference.In this message, we explore what Scripture says about dealing with stress and worry. From Moses calling God “The Rock” in Deuteronomy, to David finding refuge in the Psalms, and ultimately to Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, we're reminded that God alone is our firm foundation.True peace doesn't come from ignoring problems or temporary fixes—it comes from anchoring our lives in Jesus Christ, our Rock and our Salvation.If you're feeling overwhelmed, this message will point you back to the One who never moves.Welcome to Living Hope Church!

The works that the man Jesus did, we can do also—because like him, we have been given the spirit and the Word to empower us. Anything God asks of us, He makes possible. His power works in us to carry it out. John 14:12. Truly, truly – “Pay close attention—what I'm about to say is absolutely certain.” Jesus wants us to be convinced, without doubt, that his works could be continued and even expanded through his followers Luke 4:18–19. The Gospels confirm that Jesus fulfilled everything Isaiah foretold. Acts 10:38. What he did was God's will and God's work, not his own. Acts 2:22. God performed through him Acts 2:22; 1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 5:15. It is essential to affirm Jesus' humanity if we are to believe his words in John 14:12. Each Gospel records that the holy spirit descended upon Jesus at his baptism (Matt. 3:13–17; Mark 1:9–11; Luke 3:21–23; John 1:29–34). God wanted it to be unmistakable that Jesus was empowered by the spirit to carry out his mission. Luke 4:1, 14; 5:17. The spirit God gave Jesus enabled him to perform miracles, wonders, and signs. And in the same way, God has given us His spirit so that He may work through us to accomplish His purposes. Isaiah 61:1-3; 42:1-7. Jesus also had faith in the Scriptures. John 14:12. We too have God's spirit, and we too have His Word. As Jesus trusted God to work through him, we can believe that God will work through us.The post Superman and the Real Superpower first appeared on Living Hope.

Setting aside our series through the book of Mark for a time, after having just heard Peter's confession, we turn to 1 Peter where the apostle encourages a group of "elect exiles" who are suffering various trials. He reminds them that God has not been caught off guard, he is still in control, and we can take hold of His solid promises when our right now feels uncertain.
