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.

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.

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.

As we begin our study of 1 Peter, Peter urges us to remember the Lord, live as His people, and trust the hope that will never disappoint.

Love Isn't Always Easy. Love Costs Something. Love Sees Beyond the External. Love Isn't Always Easy Loving someone can be risky and difficult. It takes vulnerability and can be hard. 1 Cor 13:4-7. Loving someone is easy when people are nice but can be quite a challenge when there is tension, disagreement, or pride involved. Luke 19:1-10. Jesus' was judged for his association with people that others viewed as “sinners” and “unclean”. Love Costs Something Loving someone often requires sacrifice and giving of yourself in ways that are not preferred (or undesirable). John 15:9-13, 17. Jesus commanded his followers to love each other as he loved them and to be willing to sacrifice everything. John 13:1-15, 34-35. The example Jesus left his disciples is to be willing to do the lowest task in serving each other. By loving each other in this way, you will make known to other people that you are Christ's disciples. Love Sees Beyond the External Appearances can be deceiving. What is on the outside is not what is important, but what is on the inside is what matters. 1 Samuel 16:1-12. As humans, we can get caught up with thinking about how things look and miss the more important traits of who a person is. Romans 2:11. God does not show favoritism but welcomes everyone to come to Him through His Son, Jesus. John 4:1-30. Jesus' disciples only saw a Samaritan woman and missed the whole point of what was happening.The post Film Series 2: How to Train Your Dragon and Christian Love first appeared on Living Hope.

The Karate Kid movies and shows have resonated with people for more than four decades. One aspect that draws us to watching them is the desire we all have for a mentor or a student. Jesus was the ultimate Myagi, teaching and training his disciples throughout his ministry. Before departing, he told us that we too should make disciples of all nations. Mark 6:7-13. After Jesus had spent a little time with his disciples, he instructed them and sent them out. They were to do the same sorts of things that Jesus himself was doing. Mark 6:30-44. Upon returning from their missionary trip, the twelve reported back to Jesus what happened with great excitement. Jesus continued to challenge and train them. When a crowd of 5,000 men were hungry, he told them, “You give them something to eat.” Mark 9:33-37. Jesus taught them about humility. Rather than seeking to be the greatest, he told them to look to the example of a child. Luke 14:25-32. Jesus set the bar high for becoming a disciple. Although the call is open to anyone, only those who put him first can be true disciples. People should count the cost prior to following Jesus. Luke 6:40. The goal of Christian discipleship is to become like Christ. We aim to both follow his words and imitate his example. Matthew 10:24-25. As they ridiculed and called Jesus names, so they will do to you if you genuinely follow him. John 8:31-32. Disciples don't just believe in Jesus, they also continue in his words, living out his teachings. John 13:35. The most important indicator of authentic discipleship is if we love each other. See also John 15:8-10.The post Film Series 1: Karate Kid and Christian Discipleship first appeared on Living Hope.

His name is far more than a label—it represents the power, presence, and authority of Jesus Himself. When Peter explained the healing of the lame man, he was essentially saying, ‘It was the very person and power of Jesus, alive and active, that made this man whole.’ John 16:23-27. We pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Acts 3:1ff. In the name of Jesus Christ, the lame man walked. Acts 3:16. “Name” means much more than a label. It implies Jesus’ power, presence, and authority. Peter is saying: “It is the very person and power of Jesus, active and present, that healed this man.” Acts 4:1-12. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:17-20. Do not speak in this name. Acts 16:16-18. Demon was cast out by his name. Philippians 2:5-11. In the end, everyone will bow to that name.The post Power in His Name first appeared on Living Hope.
