Ḥesed is God's steadfast covenant love and faithfulness as revealed in His character, His promises to Israel and David, and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Because God has shown us this loyal love, He calls us to reject empty religion and become a ḥesed-shaped people who faithfully love Him and one another. The Hebrew word ḥesed describes God's steadfast, covenant love: loyal, merciful, faithful, and kind. God's ḥesed calls us not only to receive His love and faithfulness with confidence, but also to practice the same kind of loyal love toward Him and one another in the church. Exodus 34:6–7 — God reveals Himself as merciful and gracious, abounding in covenant faithfulness (ḥesed). Deuteronomy 7:9 — God faithfully keeps His covenant faithfulness (ḥesed) across generations. Psalm 136 — The ḥesed psalm: God's ḥesed endures forever. 2 Samuel 7:11b–16 —God's loyal love (ḥesed) is expressed in God's covenant promise to David's house. Luke 1:68–75 — Jesus as the fulfillment of God's covenant faithfulness (ḥesed). Hosea 6:6–7 — Essentially, God is saying, “I do not want empty ceremonies from people who are betraying Me in their heart. I desire ḥesed.” Micah 6:8 — To love ḥesed is to love covenant loyalty. It means we do not treat our relationships with God as a convenience or something to discard when it doesn't align with our desires. Ruth 1:16 — “For where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people are my people, and your God is my God.” Galatians 6:1–2 — A ḥesed community is one filled with loyal, gentle, burden-bearing love and faithfulness.The post Transformation 3: The Power of Loyalty first appeared on Living Hope.

Looking at three examples in the Bible of people who abandoned their previous group identity to join God's family, we see a pattern to emulate. Rather than thinking of yourself as an American or a businessman or a student who goes to church, think of yourself as a child of God who is also an American or a businessman or a student. Joshua 2:1-21 Rahab took a huge risk protecting the Israelite spies. She had heard about Yahweh who had demonstrated his power in Egypt and she wanted in. Joshua 6:15-25 She abandoned her Canaanite group identity to become an Israelite herself. She and Salmon had a son called Boaz who became a man of integrity and compassion. Ruth 1:7-9, 18 Ruth responded to Naomi's immense suffering through a self-sacrificial act of loyalty. She abandoned her Moabite identity to care for her mother-in-law, taking on her religious beliefs and practices. Ruth 3:10-11 Rahab's son, Boaz, took note of Ruth's character and loyalty. He married her and their child was the grandfather of the great king David. Philippians 3:4-6 Paul was a man of religious fervor and zeal. As a Pharisee, he adhered to the strictest sect of Judaism. That was his identity. Acts 9:3-6 When Jesus presented himself to Paul it resulted in his sudden abandonment of his previous group. Henceforth he threw his lot in with the Christians, the very people he had been persecuting. Philippians 3:7-9 Rather than mourning the loss of his old group identity, Paul now considered all his previous accomplishments as trash in comparison to “the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus.” What is your group identity? Do you first think of yourself as a child of God, part of his family, or does your identity lay elsewhere?The post Transformation 2: The Kind of People We Are first appeared on Living Hope.

n Week 4 of our I Fought the Law series, we explore a powerful truth: God's laws were never meant to imprison us—they were designed to protect us. Looking at the teachings of Paul, Peter, James, and John after Jesus' ascension, we discover that the moral standards they repeatedly emphasized were not about legalism, but about living within God's loving guardrails.Using the image of guardrails on a mountain road, this message examines how idolatry, sexual purity, pornography, gossip, slander, anger, and unforgiveness can create openings for the enemy, while obedience to God's Word provides protection and freedom. We also discuss how Christians are called to lovingly engage those who do not yet know Christ—leading with grace, relationship, and the gospel rather than condemnation.Ultimately, this sermon reminds us that the law points to the Lawgiver. God's boundaries are not signs of restriction but expressions of His love, wisdom, and desire to keep His people on the path of life.Key Scriptures: Ephesians 4:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Matthew 5:28, Romans 2:4, Romans 8:1-4, 1 John 1:9#IFoughtTheLaw #LivingHopeChurch #BiblicalTruth #ChristianLiving #GodsGrace #Holiness #Discipleship #FaithInAction #SermonSeries #JesusChristWelcome to Living Hope Church! These podcasts are our weekly Sunday sermons. We hope you enjoy them.

This sermon presents a profound theological reflection on enduring suffering with a living hope rooted in God's sovereign grace and redemptive purpose. Drawing from 1 Peter 1, it emphasizes that believers—though scattered, persecuted, and enduring trials—are elect by God's foreknowledge, sanctified by the Spirit, and cleansed by Christ's blood, securing their eternal inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, and imperishable. The central message is that suffering is not a sign of divine abandonment but a divine instrument for spiritual refinement, purifying faith like gold tested by fire, producing a joy that is inexpressible and full of glory. Through the example of Peter's denial and restoration, the sermon illustrates how God uses brokenness to forge deeper faith, maturity, and witness, calling believers to joyful endurance, even when the purpose of their trials remains hidden. Ultimately, it affirms that God is at work in every trial—not only for personal growth but to draw others to Christ, with the assurance that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to reflect His glory, even in the midst of suffering, until the final revelation of Jesus Christ.

Pride tells us to exalt ourselves.Humility calls us to surrender ourselves.In 1 Peter 5, Peter reminds us that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. In a world obsessed with status, recognition, and control, followers of Jesus are called to be different — clothed in humility.What would it look like to humble ourselves before God, trust Him with our anxieties, and stand firm against the enemy?Join us as we walk through 1 Peter 5 together in our message:“Clothed in Humility.”“Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another…” — 1 Peter 5:5 (NIV)At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

We all want to be safe, and it's a scary world. Gideon, one of Israel's judges, looked for security through power; by controlling the situation, he felt safe. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller digs deeper into Gideon's test, his trust, and his triumph. The ultimate security we can have is through the Lord who fights for His children.

In Part 3 of our "I Fought the Law" series, we explore one of the most important themes in the Christian life: repentance. Many people confuse repentance with feeling guilty, being sorry, or facing consequences, but true biblical repentance is much deeper. It is a change of heart that leads to a change of direction—turning away from sin and turning toward God.Through the stories of Cain, King David, Zacchaeus, and the Old Testament scapegoat, we see the difference between worldly sorrow and genuine repentance. Cain regretted the consequences of his actions but never turned back to God. David, after his sin with Bathsheba, humbled himself before the Lord and sought restoration. Zacchaeus demonstrated that true repentance produces visible fruit in a transformed life.We also examine the difference between sonship and fellowship. As believers, our failures do not remove us from God's family, but sin can affect our closeness and intimacy with Him. Through confession and repentance, fellowship is restored, and we experience once again the joy of walking with our Heavenly Father.Most importantly, we discover that Jesus is the fulfillment of everything the Law pointed toward. He became the ultimate sacrifice, carrying away our sin so that we can be forgiven, restored, and brought back into relationship with God.Key Scriptures: Leviticus 16:20-22, Matthew 3:1-3, Genesis 4:6-14, Psalm 51, Luke 19:1-10, 1 John 1:9Main Idea: Repentance is more than saying "I'm sorry." It is turning away from sin and turning toward God, finding forgiveness, restoration, and renewed fellowship through Jesus Christ.Welcome to Living Hope Church!

1 Peter 1:14–21 | Living Hope For Exiles, Part 3 | 5/31/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. In a culture obsessed with image, identity, and self-expression, Peter reminds believers that Christians are called to reflect the character of their heavenly Father. Through the saving work of Jesus Christ, believers have been adopted into the family of God and are progressively being transformed into His likeness. Peter calls the church to holiness, reverence, and faith-filled hope while reminding us that we were not redeemed with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ.

Living Hope founded the Center for Biblical Counseling in 2016. Now functioning as it's own non-profit as the "Centers for Hope", the counseling center still serves Southcentral Kentucky by pointing clients to Scripture as God's source for life change. Bekah McColl sits down with Pastor Elliott Pratt and her counselor, Savannah Pratt, to share how she broke from shame and guilt to freedom and forgiveness through biblical counseling.

In this powerful episode I chat with Bible teacher and author with Our Daily Bread Publisher Mariel Davenport to talk about her transformative Tend Method — a simple yet deeply intentional way to study Scripture and hear God's voice through His Word.Mariel shares her incredible testimony of going from atheism to becoming a passionate Bible teacher after a coworker handed her a Bible and challenged her to read it. What began as an attempt to disprove Christianity became a life-changing encounter with the living God through Scripture. Some points we discuss:• Why many women feel overwhelmed when approaching the Bible• The importance of slowing down and studying Scripture in context• How the Tend Method helps women confidently hear from God for themselves• The power of being doers of the Word and not just hearers• Recognizing the enemy's schemes through knowing God's Word.If you've ever felt intimidated by Bible study, struggled to stay consistent in the Word, or longed to hear God more clearly, this conversation will encourage and equip you to tend your soul through Scripture one verse at a time.Connect with Mariel and learn more about the Tending Together community at her website. Use code: Podcast5https://marieldavenport.com/community/Plus, hear about her Bible studies with Our Daily Bread Publishing Ministry including Ruth: Finding Grace in the Unexpected, 1 Peter: Sustained by Living Hope, and her upcoming study on James.This episode will inspire you to slow down, cultivate intimacy with God, and allow His Word to transform your life from the inside out!

What are you building your life around right now—and will it still matter in eternity?In a world focused on temporary success, comfort, and distractions, the Bible calls us to live with eternity in view. In this message, Living for What Lasts, we'll walk through Scripture together and discover how God calls His people to invest their lives in things that will never fade away. Are we living for today… or for forever?At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

Acts 2:1-4 When the wind and fire came, it got everyone's attention. God had appeared in fire before (Exod 3:2-5; 14:24; 19:18; 40:33-38; Lev 9:22-24; Deut 4:24; 2 Chron 7:1-3). Speaking in tongues is a miracle wherein God's spirit enables someone to speak a foreign language without learning it (1 Cor 14:2, 14). Acts 2:5-11 Pentecost was a major Jewish festival that brought pilgrims in from all over the surrounding regions. Although God always cared about the nations (Gen 10), he confused their languages at the Tower of Babel (Gen 11) and began working with Abraham and his descendants (Gen 12). Now that Jesus had brought salvation, God was taking the nations back—all who call upon the name of the Lord. Acts 2:12-21 Peter pointed to Joel's prophecy to answer the question, “What does this mean?” The spirit of God had gone public—and it happened prior to the end of the age! Acts 2:22-24 Finally, Peter gets to talking about Jesus. He tells them two accepted claims followed by two startling claims. Acts 2:25-33 Looking to David's prophecy in Psalm 16, we see that this event was predicted centuries before. That the spirit has been poured out is now proof that Jesus indeed is the messiah exalted to God's right hand in heaven. Acts 2:34-42 When he boldly confronted the people for crucifying their own messiah, they asked, “What should we do?” Peter told them to repent and be baptized. If they did, they would receive forgiveness for their sins and the gift of the holy spirit too!The post God's Spirit Poured Out first appeared on Living Hope.

Series: "A Living Hope"Spring 2026Season 12Episode 7

The Heart of Living Hope Pursues | Luke 7:41-42 | Week 4We all owe God an eternal debt that we cannot pay in this lifetime. Jesus paid our eternal debt with His eternal life. As we honestly evaluate what God has done for us, we will be empowered and compelled to pursue a life that honors the gift God has provided in Jesus.

Do you look to people for security? Even Esther, a courageous woman who saved her people from destruction, struggled with this identity trap.

In a world where following Jesus feels increasingly countercultural, Peter reminds us that we are “elect exiles”—chosen by God, set apart by the Spirit, and sent into the world with a living hope. This message explores what it means to experience “kingdom culture shock” as Christians in a shifting culture, and how Peter calls believers to neither retreat from the world nor conform to it, but to live faithfully as citizens of heaven. Through the gospel of Jesus Christ, we have an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading—a living hope that sustains us through rejection, suffering, and uncertainty.   Title: Living Hope Text: 1 Peter 1:1-5 Speaker: Josh Branham

1 Peter 1: 6-13 | Living Hope For Exiles, Part 2 | 5/24/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. The Apostle Peter writes to believers facing suffering, pressure, uncertainty, and trials, yet he speaks repeatedly about joy. Not shallow positivity or fake religious smiles, but deep supernatural joy rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ. In a city filled with anxiety, distraction, image management, and endless noise, Peter reminds us that our hope is anchored in something far greater than temporary circumstances, namely, in the risen Christ.

Christian growth is not merely about gaining information, but about transformation into the likeness of Christ. Paul writes in 1 Timothy 1:5, “The goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.” Biblical teaching is meant to shape our hearts, minds, and lives—not simply fill our heads with facts. In 2 Peter 1:3–4, Peter makes the astonishing claim that through God's promises believers become “partakers of the divine nature.” Peter is not teaching that humans become gods in the pagan sense, but that through Christ we increasingly share in God's holiness, love, wisdom, immortality, and character. The ancient world reserved ideas of “divinization” for emperors and legendary heroes, but Peter declares that through Jesus this transformation is available to all believers. This transformation happens as we know Christ deeply through Scripture, prayer, discipleship, and sound teaching. God's promises are not merely informational—they are transformational. As we behold Christ through truth, we are gradually changed into His image. Scripture calls believers to “be imitators of God” (Ephesians 5:1) and reminds us that we are “being transformed into the same image from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). The Christian life is not only about forgiveness; it is about restoration. Through Christ, God is renewing humanity into what it was always meant to be. Therefore, Christians should hunger for Scripture, truth, and spiritual growth, because knowledge rightly applied becomes transformation. Weekly pursue God in learning and contemplation on godly teaching.The post Practical Christianity 6: Weekly Learning first appeared on Living Hope.

The temptation to live for wealth and build identity around gaining influence through possessions is real. Zacchaeus was notoriously rich, but his soul was still searching for something more. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller shows how Zacchaeus was lost, found and free. What if our significance isn't in what belongs to us, but in the One to whom we belong?

We can easily be tempted to build our identities around gaining significance through power. Jacob was a schemer who manipulated to become successful; in the end, he cried out to God for help. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller takes us through the life Jacob: his upbringing, his sojourning, and his homecoming.
