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? Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
“The time is always near.” Jesus is coming, and He is already here, moving toward His people with power and love. In this message, we’re invited to see Him rightly—to recognize who He is and how He is moving among us. As we pray, “Come, Lord Jesus,” we learn to long for Him above all else and to give everything in order to gain everything. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

What does it really mean to live as Kingdom people in a world that often walks in darkness? In Matthew 5, Jesus calls us the salt of the earth and the light of the world—His standard-bearers of truth and hope. When God’s people show up and live counter to the culture around them, society is preserved, lives are changed, and the Kingdom of God is revealed. There is an invitation for us to embrace our identity, stand firm in God’s Word, and bring impact in every layer of life. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
The way of Jesus is the way of life, but it will cost us everything. In this Sunday's message, "The Cost of Discipleship", Pastor Diego challenges us to live a life that chooses surrender over self and obedience over comfort, just as Jesus did. When we lay down our own desires, we discover our true identity in Christ, and find the deepest comfort and a reward that cannot be lost. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
In this Sunday’s message, “It’s Harvest Time,” Pastor Josh walks us through John 4, where Jesus meets a Samaritan woman and reveals God’s heart to reach people right where they are. The life-changing power of Christ is a free gift, and He leans into our brokenness to lead us to truth. Jesus did not come to shame; He came to claim, inviting us into honesty that leads to surrender and freedom. Our response to the revelation of who He is becomes the key to transformation. Now is the time to step into the harvest and share the good news of Jesus with the world. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
God’s heart beats for the harvest, both in the world and right here in our city. In Matthew 9, Jesus saw the crowds and was moved with compassion, and He calls us to carry that same heart. Compassion is more than a feeling; it leads us to action and often opens the door for the miraculous. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Will we be the ones who pray, who go, and who carry God’s heart into the field? This is an invitation to let God change our hearts so we can see His Spirit move in power. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
God often answers prayers by sending people, and He’s gifted each of us to play a part in His plan.

God has placed gifts inside of you, and He’s calling you to steward them well. In this Sunday's message, "Fan Into Flame", Pastor Diego challenges us to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and available to share God’s heart with those around us.

Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
What does it mean to be a prophetic church? This Sunday, Steve Williams shared how God is shaping us to be a people who hear His voice and reveal His heart wherever we go. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
This Sunday, Pastor Josh continued the conversation on spiritual gifts, unpacking what it means to “earnestly desire” them. We believe these gifts are still active today and vital to our mission as a church. From prophecy to serving, every gift matters and plays a unique role in strengthening the Body of Christ. Scripture calls us to pursue the gifts eagerly, not for our own recognition but for the building up of others. The Holy Spirit determines the gifts, but we are called to desire them. Without love as our foundation, the very gifts meant to edify the church can become empty displays. Through it all, love remains the “more excellent way” that gives every gift its true meaning. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Do you realize the spiritual gifts you’ve been given are meant to serve others? In this Sunday's message, "Given to Give: The Purpose of Spiritual Gifts", Pastor Josh unpacked 1 Corinthians 12 and helped us understand how the Holy Spirit has uniquely equipped every believer to build up the body of Christ and carry out His mission. The same Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus equips us to walk in His power and grace daily. When we operate in these gifts, God’s love flows freely through His church. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
This Sunday, in his message “Surrendered to the Father, Empowered by the Spirit,” Pastor Josh unpacks how Jesus came to be both our Savior and our example. He lived a life fully surrendered to the Father and empowered by the Holy Spirit, showing us what it means to depend on God in every moment. As those who love and follow Him, we are called to live lives empowered by the Holy Spirit, marked by surrender, obedience, and His transforming power. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
What does it really mean to walk with God? In this message, Pastor Gary reminds us that the life we’re called to is one of relationship—moving with God, not ahead of Him or behind. It’s not about going through the motions or settling for empty religion, but about living in step with the Spirit. Walking with God means cultivating a life of prayer, communion, and conversation with Him. There’s more for us when we learn to walk at His pace and follow where He’s going. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
What does it mean to be blessed when following Jesus costs you something? In his message, "Blessed are the Persecuted", Pastor Steve walks us through Matthew 5:10–12 and the bigger story of Scripture to show how persecution is not the end. It’s a sign of our deep connection to Christ and His Church. When we suffer for righteousness, we are not alone. We are part of a legacy of faith that reveals Jesus to the world. Be encouraged—your endurance has eternal significance, and your story is tied to the victory of the Lord. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
What if the biggest shift in your life starts with the way you think? In this message, "The Renewed Mind", Pastor Diego unpacks the transformative power of renewing your mind, a process that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and rooted in truth. Because God is better than we think, He invites us to think differently and align our minds with His goodness and purpose. True transformation doesn’t come from changed emotions alone, but from exchanging old beliefs for new ones that reflect who we are in Christ. As 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, your mind matters to God, and it is worth renewing. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
