Our attitude shapes the way we think, see, and respond to life. Jesus has a lot to say about our attitudes because they influence the direction of our lives. Too often we allow life’s pressures and distractions to weigh us down, causing us to endure instead of truly enjoy the life God intends for us. In this message, Pastor Brad shares practical, biblical Attitude Boosters that will help us lighten up, refocus on what matters most, and experience the joy and freedom God desires for us.

Freedom is never free. It always comes at a cost, and throughout history that price has been paid in blood, sweat, and tears. The greatest freedom ever purchased came when God the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross. He paid the price so we could be free from sin and experience new life. That means we have the greatest news the world has ever heard—the Good News of Jesus Christ. We’ve been set free, not just to celebrate our freedom, but to share it. Freedom that isn’t celebrated is soon forgotten. Freedom that isn’t shared leaves others in bondage and is ultimately lost.

Father’s Day

One of the greatest myths of our culture is the idea that you can have it all. The reality is, you can't. Most of us know that instinctively. Yet we still pack our schedules and our lives with things that aren't truly important. Why? Because we often fail to determine what matters most, and we fail to steward our time well. When that happens, the urgent crowds out the important, and we lose sight of our God-given priorities. Come along as Pastor Brad gives us the antidote from God’s Word.

The hope we have in Jesus was never meant to stay with us—it was meant to travel! In this message Pastor Brad, explores the practical, most effective ways we can share the Good News with others; first and foremost by living it, listening to people's stories and needs, sharing our personal testimonies of God's work in our lives, and bringing others to experience God's love at HOPE Church. Discover how God can use ordinary people and everyday interactions and conversations to bring hope to the lost and hurting.

As believers, many of the struggles we face can be traced back to one issue: a lack of spiritual maturity. God created you with purpose and Jesus redeemed you for a mission. In this message, we’ll discover who we are in Christ, evaluate where we are growing, and learn how spiritual maturity positions us to fulfill God’s purpose for our lives. Our purpose is ultimately defined by the mission of Jesus, Luke 19:10.

God is the only one who can take the mess we make of our lives and bring good from it. Brad and Renee share their story of God’s grace and how He transformed their lives using them in so many different ways, evening starting HOPE Church. However, there are things we need to do in order for His purpose for us to be fulfilled. God does His part and His Word makes it clear, we have our part.

If you’ve ever had prayers go unanswered—especially when they were centered on promises from the Bible that haven’t come true for you… or you’ve faced unresolved problems after asking God for help—this message is for you. Pastor Brad walks us through how God’s promises in His Word work in our lives and how the Holy Spirit works to enable believers to understand, accept, and apply the revealed truths of scripture.

In every relationship we sow seeds every day. You’re sowing seeds of anger, seeds of trust, seeds of conflict, or seeds of peace. According to the book of James, we have a responsibility to respond to others by planting seeds of peace and harmony.

We carry keys to unlock doors and it depends on their shape as to what door they open. Many of us are blank keys. We have the potential to open many doors with our prayer life. Much like a key, we have to be willing to be shaped, filed and polished in order to turn the right tumblers to unlock those doors. In this week’s message we look at the key conditions God gives us to have our prayers answered.
