Hope Church Sunday Message

What allows us to live in peace in the midst of hard times? A genuine faith in Christ and His work will use times of suffering to produce characteristics to strengthen us. God is working through believers to endure and to produce genuine, lasting faith. In this message, Pastor Josh encourages us to make sure our faith is deep in Christ. The difference between those who make it to the end is not in the size of the storm, but in the foundation of their life.Recorded live March 15th, 2026 at Hope Church in Springfield, MO#peace #hope #hardtimes #endure #faith #faithfulness #trials #finishedWork

In this message, Pastor Josh lays out the expectation that in this life, pain, suffering and hardship will come. However, the question that rests before believers is this: who is your faith in and will you endure? There is a real danger of unbelief that works through the trials of life. If not dealt with, this unbelief can destroy believers. This message encourages and challenges believers to guard your heart and root yourself fully in the truth of Jesus Christ.Recorded March 8th, 2026 at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.#faith #endurance #unbelief #doubt #trial #pain #reward #heart

In this message, Diego works through the ideas of our love for God and our love for people. How is your heart posture when it comes to loving, caring and serving others with compassion?

What occupies your time? What is your attention focused on? In this episode, guest speaker Pastor Tom Deuschle speaks about the presence of God and the value that it holds in our life. Throughout the message, Pastor Tom walks through principles to point us toward the most important focus for our lives.

This week, Pastor Josh speaks on just a few of the words for "praise" in scripture and how these words are very demonstrative action words. In this message, Josh shares how freedom and breakthrough can sometimes come through the intentional surrender of our praise, especially in hard times.

This week, Lead Pastor Josh Thompson shares on "The Fear Of The Lord". This message brings a challenge: In our love of Jesus, do we fear God? Are we working out our salvation with fear and trembling? Is there compromise and willful sin in our lives or are we dedicated to the Lord? Pastor Josh defines what the fear of the Lord means from scripture and challenges the listener to live your life according to God's Word. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

This week, Pastor Steve shares from the book of Revelation and Hebrews. What should we focus our life on? What motivates our efforts and what measures our work? What matters most?

This Sunday's message centers on the Holy Spirit as a person, who is real and empowers us to live in freedom and identity God designed for us as sons and daughters. As we see in Romans 8, there is no condemnation in Christ and life in the Spirit empowers us to live beyond our own strength and abilities. As we die to our flesh and walk by the Spirit, we step more full into what the Lord has designed for us. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

This Sunday’s message invites us to look beneath the surface of our spiritual lives and ask how deeply we are planted in God. Like strong roots that nourish and steady a tree, our connection to God through His Word brings stability, life, and fruitfulness. Psalm 1 reminds us that those who remain rooted in the Lord flourish in every season, because they continually make space for Him to work within them. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

This Sunday we kicked off our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting with a call to stir up a deeper hunger and thirst for God. This message reminds us that fasting is not about what we’re giving up, but about who we are pursuing. As we set ourselves apart in this season, we are choosing to make space for God to move, speak, and work in our lives in fresh ways. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

In a world full of temporary returns, Scripture points us to the one investment that never fails. God has invited us into a living hope through Jesus Christ, a hope anchored in Him and the promise of eternal life. When we place our hope fully in Him, we are promised a return that lasts forever. Jesus is worth everything, and He alone is worthy of our hope. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

There is hope for the hopeless, and His name is Jesus. Isaiah 9:2–6 points us to the promised Savior who brings light into the darkness. As the greatest gift we have ever been given, Jesus offers a hope that remains steady in every season. This sermon explores what it means to live with confidence in God, no matter what we are facing. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

The Christmas story is bigger than we often imagine and closer than we realize. In this message, we explore how the God who created the universe chose to step into our world because of His great love for us. Through the birth of Jesus, we see God making a way to dwell with humanity and personally engage our lives. The story of Mary reminds us that God guides ordinary people into extraordinary moments. There is an invitation to see both the vastness of God’s plan and the nearness of His heart. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Nothing is impossible with God. In this message, we are invited to trust what God has spoken and to rest in his timing. Our hope is not in outcomes but in the Lord himself. Waiting is not punishment. It is often preparation. Throughout Scripture, we see that the way we respond to what God says shapes our faith and draws us closer to him. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Pastor Gary continues our conversation around repentance as he guides us through how our lives transform as we live in repentance, and how God continually transforms us into His image as we walk with Him. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

This Sunday, Pastor Diego continues our conversation on repentance as he shares how beholding Jesus, the Lamb, and turning to Him in repentance changes everything. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

This Sunday we are continued our conversation around repentance and what it really looks like to turn our hearts toward Jesus. Repentance is not about fixating on our sin, it is about fixing our eyes on the One we love. When we turn from sin and turn to Him, we find the freedom, direction, and purpose our hearts long for. There is an invitation to give Him everything and to cut off anything that hinders our love for Jesus. Are we choosing to define our lives by Christ alone? Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Repentance is more than remorse. It is a turning from everything that is not the Lord and a turning to Him with our whole hearts. Scripture shows us that repentance begins with a change of mind and leads to a change of life. It is the doorway to renewal, freedom, and intimacy with God. This message invites us to return to repentance, where transformation begins and grace meets us again. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Faith invites us to believe, and obedience invites us to become. Through the stories of the Old Testament, we learn that belief without obedience leads to delay and wandering, but obedience is always the doorway into God’s promises. In this message, we’ll see how radical obedience moves us closer to the heart of God and how Jesus’ own obedience opened the way for us to follow Him in freedom. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Sometimes God’s “no” feels like a dead end, but as we see in Acts 16, for Paul it became the doorway to revival. In this Sunday’s message, Pastor Steve shares how God’s redirection opens the way for His greater purpose. When we surrender to His voice and follow where He’s leading, we begin to see a move of God take shape. Where in your life is God saying no, not to stop you, but to steer you?
