The Hope Blog: Sermons and Church News

Fall Books & Breakfast
Lisette EspinosaJuly 31st, 2024Women of Hope

Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for us today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps us discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God’s great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.

Dates: Thursdays, September 12^th to November 14^th

Time: 9:30-11:30am

Location: Upstairs Den, Hope Chapel

Conversation with Rabbi Dan Wednesday, July 10th
Hope ChapelJune 4th, 2024Community Updates
Hope Chapel has a unique opportunity to develop friendship with a local Jewish synagogue. Rabbi Daniel Millner is rabbi of Congregation Tiferet Israel. On Wednesday, July 10th, 6-7:30 p.m. Rabbi Dan will join us to preach from Genesis on the topic of God’s favor on Abraham. Pastor Matt has been invited to go to his synagogue at a later date to do something similar. We look forward to a growing relationship with our Jewish neighbors.

Many American Jews have recently experienced a growing anxiety related to feeling alone, isolated and friendless due to current events and negative attitudes related to Israel and Jewishness in general. Many have reported losing friendships due to a sudden spike of political animosity. Hope Chapel has the opportunity to bring glory to God and support to neighbors by meeting this felt need relationally.

We regret that the deadline to reserve childcare has now passed.
