What's new at Hope.

  1. Work: A Biblical Perspective

    There are twice as many disengaged workers as there are engaged workers.
    God Himself is a Worker.
    God calls us to co-labor with Him.
    We honor God with our work.

  2. Renewal is at the Core of Christian Faith

    Renewal is at the core of Christian Faith

    Embrace Great Hope.

    Ephesians 5:11-14

    11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,

    “Awake, O sleeper,
        and arise from the dead,
    and Christ will shine on you.”

  3. Press ON

    Forget what lies behind and press on.

    Philippians 3:12-13a

    Straining Toward the Goal

    12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

  6. Lyrics for Worship on the Lawn 12/20/20

    O Come All Ye Faithful

    O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
    O come, ye, o come, ye, to Bethlehem
    Come and behold Him, born the king of angels

    O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him,
    O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

    Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
    Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
    Glory to God, glory in the highest

    Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning
    Jesus, to Thee be all glory given
    Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

     

    Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

    Come, Thou long expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free
    From our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in Thee
    Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth Thou art
    Dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart

    Born Thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a king
    Born to reign in us forever, now Thy gracious kingdom bring
    By Thine own eternal Spirit, rule in all our hearts alone
    By Thine all sufficient merit, raise us to Thy glorious throne

     

    What Child is This?

    What child is this, who laid to rest, on Mary’s lap is sleeping?
    Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping
    This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing
    Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the babe the son of Mary

    Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding?
    Good Christians fear, for sinners here, the silent Word is pleading
    Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me, for you
    Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the babe the son of Mary

    So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, come peasant, king, to own Him
    The King of kings, salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him
    Raise, raise the song on high, the virgin sings her lullaby
    Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe the son of Mary

     

    We Fall Down

    We fall down and lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus
    The greatness of His mercy and love
    At the feet of Jesus

    And we cry, “Holy, holy, holy”
    We cry, “Holy, holy, holy”
    We cry, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb!”

     

    Great Are You, Lord

    You give life, You are love, You bring light to the darkness
    You give hope, You restore every heart that is broken
    Great are You, Lord

    It’s Your breath in our lungs
    So we pour out our praise, we pour out our praise
    It’s Your breath in our lungs
    So we pour out our praise to You only

    All the earth will shout Your praise
    Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
    Great are You, Lord
