Weekend teaching from Hope Fellowship Church in Frisco, McKinney, and Prosper, TX. Inviting everyone to find Jesus and helping them move to the center of God's purpose for their lives.
In this first message of our new series, Built for This, Campus Pastor Eric Sebastian kicks off a discipleship journey for the whole church family, unpacking Colossians 2:6-10 to answer one question: what are you actually building your life on? As the busyness of a new school year begins, discover why walking, rooting, and resting in Jesus is the only foundation strong enough to hold everything else together.
In the final message of our summer series going throughActs, our Lead Care Pastor Broc Jahnke walks through Acts 21–28 — Paul's arrest, shipwreck, and snake bite on the road to Rome. When life falls apart and nothing goes as planned, what do you do? Broc offers a simple answer: stop trying to figure it all out, and just follow the Rabbi.
In this week's message in our Bible for Regular People series, Frisco West Pastor Zach Wright walks through Paul's three missionary journeys from Acts 13-20, using maps to bring these real places and events to life. We explore why Paul went to the synagogues first, why he targeted major cities of the empire, and the deeper purpose behind his travels, one that goes far beyond simply getting people "saved." It's a message about what it really means to become a citizen of a new kingdom.
In this week's message from The Bible for Regular People, McKinney Campus Pastor Eric Sebastian walks through Acts 12 - a chapter that opens with one of the church's greatest setbacks and closes with one of its greatest reminders. When opposition is inevitable, how do the people of God respond? The answer from Acts 12 is clear: not with panic, but with prayer.
In this week's message from our summer series, "The Bible for Regular People," Online Campus Pastor Mary takes us into Acts 9 with a message about one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the entire Bible - the conversion of Saul. What does it look like when God interrupts everything you thought you knew? And what happens when an ordinary, unsung believer says yes at just the right moment? This one's for anyone standing at the edge of something new.
In week four of The Bible for Regular People, guest speaker Holly Wagner walks through Acts 8 and reminds us that the Church is called to look different from a world that is deeply divided. As Philip carried the gospel beyond familiar people and places, we see that unity in the Church is built through humility and a shared commitment to Christ. The gospel tears down the walls that separate us and unites people across every difference. When we choose unity over division, we become a powerful witness to the world because the gospel truly is for everyone.
In Week 3 of our summer series, The Bible for Regular People, McKinney Campus Pastor Eric Sebastian walked through Acts 6-7 and the story of Stephen. Stephen was an ordinary man who became a powerful witness for Jesus because he lived surrendered to the Holy Spirit. Even in the face of opposition and persecution, he remained faithful and boldly pointed people to Christ. His story reminds us that God uses ordinary people to share His faithfulness and make Jesus known. This message challenges us to consider what our lives are giving witness to and how God can use our faithfulness to impact others.
In the second week of our summer series, The Bible for Regular People, Pastor Aaron Alexander walks through Acts 2-3, showing us what real transformation looks like through the before-and-after story of Peter and the birth of the early church. If you've ever wondered whether God can actually change a person at the core level, this message is for you.
What if God’s plan has never depended on extraordinary people, but on ordinary people who are willing to depend on Him? In the first week of our summer series , The Bible for Regular People, we begin our journey through Acts and discover that Jesus didn’t send His followers out in their own strength. He told them to wait for the Holy Spirit. Acts 1 reminds us that God still empowers everyday people to live with purpose, share their faith, and participate in His mission. The same Spirit who worked through the early church is still at work today. The question isn’t how qualified you are. It’s how willing you are to trust Him.
In the final week of our series on The Trinity, Pastor Zach Wright takes a closer look at who the Holy Spirit is and how He is actively at work in the lives of believers. Far from being distant or impersonal, the Holy Spirit is God’s presence within us. As we wrap up this series, Pastor Zach also unpacks the doctrine of the Trinity and why it remains such a vital part of our faith. This message is a powerful reminder of who God is and how He continues to work in and through His people.
This weekend, we continued our Trinity series by taking a closer look at God the Son—Jesus. Through John 3, we were reminded that Jesus didn’t come to condemn us but to save us, making a way for us to have eternal life through Him. So often, we try to fix ourselves, earn God’s approval, or carry our struggles on our own, but the Gospel invites us to simply look to Jesus in faith. As you go through your week, take a few moments each day to turn your attention to Him first and remember that what we fix our eyes on shapes how we live.
We kicked off our new series, The Trinity, by taking a look at who God the Father really is. So often, our experiences and struggles shape how we see Him, but Scripture reminds us that He is near and full of compassion. This message is an invitation to lift our eyes beyond fear, frustration, and uncertainty so we can see the hope found in knowing God more intimately. A right view of the Father has the power to change the way we walk through every season.
What are we chasing that only God can give? On Mother’s Day, Co-Interim Lead Pastor Angela Linz walks through the stories of Rachel and Leah to show how comparison, longing, and waiting can leave us empty, but Jesus alone brings the love and fullness our hearts are searching for.
As we wrap up our Love Your Neighbor series, Aaron Alexander is joined by Outreach Pastor Launa Vaughn to share how Hope is serving around the world. From meaningful partnerships to life-changing impact, you’ll hear how we’re living out this calling together. You’ll also hear a powerful story from Kiwi Cook, who shares her journey as a former Compassion-sponsored child and how that support changed her life. Be part of the story—sponsor a child today!
What does it really look like to love and serve like Jesus? In week three of the Love Your Neighbor series, Pastor Eric Sebastian reminds us that true, Jesus-centered helping begins with humility. It’s about noticing the need, letting go of our own rights, and choosing a personal, sacrificial kind of service. And as we follow His example, our actions do more than meet needs—they point people to Him.
In week two of Love Your Neighbor, Pastor Zach Wright explores why loving our neighbor starts with examining our own hearts. Before we rush to help, Jesus invites us to recognize our own brokenness so we can love others with humility rather than pride.
Life doesn’t always go the way we expect, but what if our interruptions and obstacles are actually invitations from God? In week 1 of our Love Your Neighbor series, Dr. Donna Pisani helps us discover that we are not the Savior in the story; we are stewards of what Jesus has already done in us. As we remember how Jesus met us in our brokenness, we learn to see others differently, respond with compassion, and step into the opportunities God places right in front of us.
Easter invites us to wrestle with one powerful question: what if Jesus really is who He claimed to be? The empty tomb isn’t just a moment in history; it’s the turning point that set God’s plan of restoration in motion and changed everything for us. Because He is alive, we are no longer defined by sin, brokenness, or death; we’re invited into new life and real transformation. This Easter, we don’t celebrate a “what if." We celebrate the truth: He is alive, and He is alive in us.
In the final message of our Practicing The Way series, Pastor Aaron Alexander invites us to consider who or what is shaping our lives and challenges us to become intentional about our spiritual formation. He gives us practical ways to build a “rule of life” - one shaped by love, sustained by rhythm, and moved by the Spirit.
In week four of Practicing The Way, Pastor Angela Linz unpacks what it really means to “do as Jesus did,” reminding us that real faith produces real action, but only after true transformation. Through the story of Zacchaeus, we see how Jesus made space for people, spoke truth with love, and invites us to live from a place of being fully known and deeply loved.
In week three of our Practicing the Way series, Pastor Eric Sebastian explored what it means to become like Jesus through the process of spiritual formation. Looking at Matthew 16:24-25, he explained that discipleship requires us to say no to self, die to self, and live for Christ. Instead of constantly asking “What do I want?”, following Jesus means surrendering control of our lives and asking, “Jesus, what do You want?” True transformation doesn’t come from striving harder, but from daily surrender to the work God is doing in us.
In week two of our Practicing the Way series, we explored what it means to truly be with Jesus. While following Jesus often begins with practices like attending church, reading Scripture, and praying, real transformation happens when we learn to remain connected to Him. Drawing from Bible passages like John 15:1–4 and Romans 12:1–2, we see that abiding in Jesus means remaining, renewing our minds, and building rhythms that center our lives on Him. Through practices like contemplative prayer, we create space to be still and aware of His presence throughout our day. Ultimately, the goal of a life of prayer isn’t answered prayers; the true reward is Jesus Himself.
In the first week of our Practicing the Way series, Pastor Eric unpacks Jesus’ invitation to come and find true rest by taking on His yoke. Salvation is received in a moment, but lasting rest is learned through a lifestyle of following, becoming like, and living on mission with Jesus.
In the final message of our Built to Last series, guest speaker Scott Wilson invites us to think beyond our lifetime and consider the legacy we are building. Through the promise in the Book of Malachi and the story of Elijah and Elisha, we were reminded that God’s heart is for generations to be connected and strengthened. The challenge was simple but powerful: let’s not let what God has given us stop with us. Instead, let’s intentionally pour into the next generation so the church grows stronger long after we’re gone.
In week two of our series "Built to Last," we looked at what it means to live out godly manhood. As David prepared Solomon to lead, he showed that real strength is not dominance but obedience to God. Both David and Solomon failed, which reminds us that our hope is not in trying harder, but in Jesus - the better King who obeyed perfectly and loved sacrificially. Because we are rooted in Him, we can be watchful, stand firm, be strong, and do everything in love.
In the opening message of our new series, Built to Last, Pastor Broc shares that great marriages don’t happen by accident; they happen on purpose. From the way Jesus lived and built relationships with those around him, we can see that humility is often the missing ingredient in marriages and relationships that last. As we grow in humility and take responsibility for our own growth, we'll see love deepen, conflict become healthier, and our relationships strengthened for the long haul.
In the final message of our series, The Devil Is a Liar, Pastor Robert teaches that hearing God’s voice flows from knowing Jesus, not mastering a spiritual formula. As we grow in relationship with Him, discernment and obedience become a natural response to His truth.
In Week two of our series The Devil Is a Liar, we follow Israel’s journey through both the Wilderness and the Promised Land to see how lies can shape us in seasons of struggle and comfort. We are reminded that God meets us in both, providing daily bread in times of crisis and calling us to faithfulness when life feels stable. No matter the season, the truth is the same: the Promised Land isn’t a place, it’s God’s presence with us, revealed fully in Jesus, the Bread of Life.
Join us in our new series, The Devil Is a Liar, as we step into the Garden and the Wilderness and ask an honest question we all face in moments of temptation: whose voice are we really trusting? We’re reminded that God is truth and always leads us toward freedom, while the enemy deceives by pulling us away from God’s Word with promises that sound good in the moment but don’t last. When we stay anchored in God’s truth, lies lose their power, and we learn to hear and follow His voice in every area of our lives.
This week in our Family Tree series, we talked about how real growth happens when we stay connected to Jesus, the true vine. We reflected on what it looks like to be a church that welcomes everyone, keeps Jesus at the center, and lives out His love in everyday ways through unity, generosity, and service. Let's move beyond simply showing up and instead choose to belong, participate, and invest in what God is growing among us.
Join us in the first message of our new series, Family Tree, as we reflect on the power of being rooted in Christ by exploring Jesus’ family story and Hope Fellowship's story. Through Scripture and shared history, we’re reminded that our roots give us identity, stability, and gratitude.
Christmas often feels calm and cozy, but the first Advent was anything but. In this message, Pastor Aaron Alexander invites us to see the honest Christmas story and consider where Jesus may be interrupting our comfort, confronting our control, and calling us to surrender to the true King.
Join us for our Christmas at Hope message, focused on the powerful truth of Luke 2 - God has always wanted to be with us, and in Jesus, He came near as Immanuel. We celebrate the hope, joy, and peace found in the Savior born in Bethlehem, reminding us that God’s presence is His greatest gift.
In our Gifts of Advent series, guest speaker Donna Pisani reminds us that peace is not found when life finally feels settled, but in the presence of Jesus right in the middle of the mess. Advent invites us to notice where peace is already present, even when anxiety is loud, and waiting feels heavy. Jesus enters our uncertainty as the Prince of Peace, offering a peace that does not depend on circumstances. If you have been waiting for “there” to feel peaceful, this message invites you to discover the peace that is already here.
As we continue our "Gifts of Advent" series, this week’s message focuses on The Gift of Power. Guest speaker Mike Foster invites us to rethink what power really looks like by pointing us to the birth of Jesus. You’ll be encouraged to see how God’s strength is often revealed in humility, service, and faithfulness, and how even small, unseen acts can make a lasting difference.
As we continue in our series The Gifts of Advent, guest speaker Andrea Lathrop invites us to reflect on The Gift of Life, a gift we don’t earn but receive in Jesus. Through Nicodemus’s conversation with Christ, she reminds us that true life begins when we are born of the Spirit. Andrea highlights how God has already given us new life, and that its fullness will one day be revealed when we are raised with Christ.
As we enter the Advent season, we’re launching a new series called The Gifts of Advent, a look at the meaningful gifts God gives us through Jesus. Today, we’re focusing on The Gift of Light, celebrating Jesus as the eternal light who breaks through our darkness and leads us into life.
Join us as Pastor Broc Jahnke unpacks the Parable of the Sower and invites us to take an honest look at the condition of our hearts. Through Jesus’ own words in this story, we’re reminded that real spiritual growth starts on the inside. It’s a timely encouragement to return to Jesus, pay attention to what’s shaping our hearts, and step into a deeper, healthier life with Him.
In this message, Pastor Eric Sebastian teaches from the Parable of the Talents, helping us understand what God has placed in our hands, what He calls us to do with it, and the fears that often hold us back. Through clear questions and real-life application, you’ll be encouraged to trust God more deeply, live with open hands, and boldly step into the purpose He’s given you.
In week two of our Parables series, Pastor Eric Sebastian dives into Jesus’ teaching on the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price. These two short parables reveal a powerful truth - that the Kingdom of Heaven is worth more than anything we could ever own or pursue. When we truly see the value of knowing Christ, surrender stops feeling like loss and starts looking like joy. Discover what it means to treasure the Kingdom above all else and find lasting joy in following Jesus.
In the first message of our Parables series, we look at what it really means to build our lives on something that lasts. In Matthew 7, Jesus reminds us that it’s not enough to just hear His words — we have to live them out. When we put His teaching into practice, our lives are built on a solid foundation that can stand through any storm. Let’s lean into what Jesus teaches us, let it shape our hearts, and live it out so others can see the steady hope we have in Him.
In the final message of our Jesus Centered series, guest speaker Scott Wilson talks about what it looks like to trust and proclaim Jesus, even in the middle of life’s storms. Using Mark 6, he reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just calm the chaos — He walks on it. When we put our trust in Him, our lives naturally show others who He is.
In week three of our Jesus Centered series, Pastor Eric Sebastian shares a powerful message on what it means to become more like Jesus. Transformation isn’t about learning a few spiritual “tricks”- it’s about being formed by God’s Spirit from the inside out. Through 2 Corinthians 3:18, we’re reminded that God has a plan, a process, and a purpose for our transformation — to reflect His glory in every part of our lives.
Worship isn’t just something we do - it’s who we are. In this message, guest speaker Mike Foster unpacks what it means to live a life centered on Jesus. Discover how worship is built into our design, how true worship begins with surrender, and how choosing Jesus is an act of rebellion against the false idols of our world.
In this opening message of our new series, "Jesus Centered", Pastor Zach Wright reminds us that what we need most isn’t something new or flashy - it’s Jesus. When we center our lives on Him daily, He transforms our hearts, our homes, and our church. Join us as we look at 1 Corinthians 2 and discover what it truly means to follow Jesus in simple, ordinary, and powerful ways.
In the final week of our "Base Camp" series, Pastor Zach Wright reminds us what it means to press on in our spiritual journey. We explore how to leave the past behind, stay faithful in daily habits, and keep moving toward the eternal prize God has promised.
Join us as we finish our summer series "The Bible for Regular People." Throughout the series, we have explored all of the aspects of the Fruit of the Spirit, reminding us that these virtues are the outcome of our submission to God’s Spirit within us.

Join us as we continue diving into the Fruit of the Spirit! This week, we are exploring gentleness. When we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, it produces gentleness in our hearts that enables us to have a positive influence for His Kingdom.
This past weekend, we continued our series that focuses on the Fruit of the Spirit, and looked at how the Holy Spirit can produce an indescribable peace in our lives that will sustain us through the inevitable challenges we will face in this world.
Join us as we continue to explore the Fruit of the Spirit in our series The Bible for Regular People. To produce patience in our lives, we must develop the emotional discipline of restraint. When we do, we build trust in our relationships.
Join us as we explore the Fruit of the Spirit in our series The Bible for Regular People.

We celebrated this Mother's Day with guest speaker Andrea Lathrop! In her message, she reminds us that humility is not weak; it requires strength to let go of our own ways and make space for God to move in our lives.
Join us as we continue the series Extra Ordinary. Many people have been hurt by the church, especially when it comes to money. This message reminds us that generosity isn't about the person on the platform—it's about the posture of our own hearts.
Join us for the first message in our new series "Extra Ordinary." As believers, we are called to live differently from the world, but our pride gets in the way. Whether we identify more with the sinner or the saint, each of us must ask: Am I living my way or God's way?
Join us as we celebrate the life-changing story behind Easter. This message by Pastor John McKinzie reminds us that Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith. Through His resurrection, we are offered peace, joy, and freedom.
Join us as we finish our series I Shall Not Want. In this message, Pastor John McKinzie discusses the importance of living a life of worship. Worship is not constrained to the walls of a church or lyrics and melody - worship is how we are to live as Christ-followers.
Join us as we continue the series I Shall Not Want. In this message, Pastor Zach Wright reminds us how Jesus walks with us in our pain and has power over death.
Join us as we continue the series I Shall Not Want. In this message, we will unpack the story of the man who said, 'I was blind, but now I see' after an encounter with Jesus.
Often in life, it can feel as though God cannot see what you're going through, and even if He did, He wouldn't like what He would find. In this message, we learn that this is far from the truth. Join us as we reflect on Jesus meeting with the woman at the well.
In this message, we learn how God is our life source! No matter what difficulties we are facing, we can learn to trust God as our provider and follow Him with faith and trust instead of suspicion.

They focus on marriage and families, reminding us how discipleship starts in the home. Join us to receive practical advice on seeking relational peace with those around us.
This week in our series "Family Matters," we focused on discipleship, discipline, and direction in parenting.

In the second week of our series "Family Matters," Elyse Mahan joined us to explore the story of Jacob and Esau. Elyse emphasized that while your past may not be your fault, your freedom is your responsibility. We highlighted the importance of releasing resentment, choosing forgiveness, and embracing God’s grace to walk in true freedom. As we learn to break free from the chains of the past, we can step into the future God has prepared for us.
In the first week of our new sermon series, Family Matters, we dove into the challenges of maintaining a healthy, long-lasting marriage.

We emphasized the need for constant growth, forgiveness, and love to protect and strengthen marriages through life's difficulties. Join us in learning how to overcome obstacles and build a stronger foundation for your family’s future.
This week in our series "Ekklesia," we explore God's heart of compassion as revealed throughout scripture. We see that God is slow to anger, rich in love, and full of mercy. Jesus demonstrated this compassion through His love for sinners, the weak, those in need, and the marginalized. His actions set the standard for how we, as the church, should respond to a hurting world. We were challenged to reflect Christ's love in every interaction and be a church known for its compassion. Join us as we dive into the power of God’s unfailing love and the call to be a people of grace and mercy.
During the second week in our Series "Ekklesia," we talked about the importance of community and fellowship, drawing inspiration from the early church as depicted in Acts 2:42-47. We were encouraged to engage in community through participation in group activities, shared interests, and dedicated prayer, mirroring the early church's devotion to teachings, mutual support, and joyful generosity. When we commit to following Jesus' teachings and live out our faith in supportive and connected fellowship, we can deepen our relationship with God and others.
In week one of our new series, “Ekklesia," we explored the foundation of the church as a community of Jesus' followers dedicated to worship, teaching, fellowship, and mission. We reflected on the early church’s imperfections and challenges. Despite these challenges, we saw that God can work through any church's flaws. We were challenged to be bold, powerful witnesses of Jesus’ message through both words and actions by living our lives with integrity, humility, and unity - so that all people will come to know Jesus.
It's Hope's 25th Birthday - and we have so much to be thankful for! This weekend, we took a look back on where Hope started, reflected on all that God has done over the past 25 years, and now we look forward to all that God has for us. From the beginning, we have trusted that God has a plan, and His plan is good - and we are continuing to raise our hands, saying, "Here I am. Send me!"
In this sermon, we reflect on our spiritual journey and the importance of self-examination. Inspired by Paul's letters to the Corinthians, we explore themes of faith, spiritual growth, and personal introspection as we enter a new year. As we start this year, let's test our faith and determine where we are spiritually and where we want to be.
In this week’s message, we talked about the significance of the Lord's Supper. As we remember Jesus' sacrifice, we can reflect on our own lives, renew our unity in the body of Christ, and look forward to our eternal reward. Communion is a time of remembrance, reflection, renewal, and anticipation of future blessings.
During our special Christmas Eve services, we talked about the Christmas story of Jesus’ birth. Despite being born in humble circumstances in Bethlehem, Jesus was a light in the darkness, offering peace and guidance amidst life's challenges. Jesus is our guiding light, and he is inviting us to return to him, where love and grace abound.
This week's Advent focus is on the Magi, who embarked on a journey to worship Jesus, symbolizing a spiritual journey of discovery and surrender. Through this story, we see that worship is a lifestyle that requires offering our lives fully to God and aligning personal plans with His will. As we walk through the journey of worship - in discovery, treasure, and humility—we can engage deeply and humbly in worship.
During our second week of Advent, we read in Luke Chapter 2 about how the shepherds in the field were the first to hear about the birth of Jesus from angels. Ordinary, marginalized people were chosen to be the first to receive the news of the Messiah's arrival in Bethlehem. As we talked about the wonder and awe that the shepherds must have experienced, we were challenged to share the joy and wonder of our faith with others through personal stories, the way we live, and inviting others to experience the good news.
In this sermon, we kick off the Advent season with a message that focuses on the concept of being "willing." Pastor John highlights the story of Mary and Joseph as examples of having hearts sensitive to God's call and willing to do difficult things. He walks us through three key points: willingness is birthed from a heart sensitive toward the Lord, believers can do difficult things when following God's plan, and obedience is required to fulfill God's purpose.
To wrap up our Upside Down series, Pastor Zach explores the concept of "strength in weakness" through the apostle Paul's writings, arguing that acknowledging and surrendering our weaknesses to God can lead to true strength. He shares his personal story, emphasizing that admitting we are not enough allows God's power to work through us, which is a key principle of the "upside-down" kingdom of God.
In this message, Pastor John teaches about how generosity is a fundamental aspect of Christian living that often goes against our natural human tendencies. He explains that generosity is important for three main reasons: it guards our hearts from materialism, it helps people in need, and it makes the Great Commission possible. He emphasizes that in the New Testament, giving should come from a cheerful heart and a place of "want to" rather than "have to."
In this message, Pastor Eric emphasizes that true happiness comes from recognizing our spiritual poverty and complete dependence on God, not from our circumstances or possessions. We are encouraged to embrace our need for God daily and to put Jesus' teachings into practice, as this is the foundation for experiencing the abundant life He offers.
In this message, we discuss how the kingdom of God that Jesus taught us about is an "upside down" kingdom that is not of this world. It presents the kingdom as an invitation to start over and be "born again," living a different way from the values and priorities of this world, focusing on goodness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit rather than worldly desires and power.
This message focuses on prayer as one of the key elements for making wise decisions. John breaks down prayer into four main components: how we pray, why we pray, what we pray, and where we pray. He emphasizes that prayer is accessible to everyone and doesn't require perfection or formality.
This message focuses on the importance of choosing the right counsel when making wise decisions, emphasizing two key sources of counsel: Scripture and trusted advisers. John stresses that basing one's life on God's Word provides a solid foundation for decision-making while surrounding oneself with wise, trustworthy people can provide valuable guidance.
In this message, John emphasizes the importance of seeking wisdom from God in decision-making. He highlights that unwise decisions can have long-lasting impacts on our lives. To make wise decisions, we are encouraged to ask God for wisdom, ensure our faith is solely in Him, and maintain an undivided commitment to Him. By doing so, we align our choices with God's will, which is inherently pure and good.
This message focuses on embracing and applying the teachings from the Book of Colossians by responding intentionally through four key areas: prayer, lifestyle, words, and community. Pastor Zach encourages us to integrate these responses by being people of prayer, living wisely, speaking with grace, and participating in community, ultimately allowing the Holy Spirit to guide actions and deepen our relationships with Jesus.
In this message, we look at Colossians 3, which focuses on the concept of renewal. Pastor John emphasizes the transformative journey of shedding our old sinful nature and putting on a new nature through the Holy Spirit. Key points include focusing on eternal matters rather than temporary earthly concerns, actively working to shed sinful behaviors, and allowing our new nature—characterized by love, mercy, and forgiveness—to become evident in our lives.
This message focuses on the role of rules in Christianity. Pastor John emphasizes that while rules aren't inherently bad, they don't make us right with God or help us conquer sin - only faith in Jesus does that. He encourages listeners to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus rather than relying on rule-keeping, stating that true obedience and righteous living flow from a heart devoted to Christ.
This message focuses on chapter 1 of the book of Colossians, emphasizing the concept of reconciliation through Jesus Christ. Pastor John highlights five key aspects of reconciliation: purposeful identity, love for God's people, confident hope, changed lives, and love for others. He encourages believers to surrender any sinful nature and embrace the fruits of the Spirit while also inviting non-believers to be reconciled with God through faith in Jesus.
In this message on the Unified church, we discussed three key areas where Christians should be unified: our understanding of Jesus, our commitment to the mission of spreading the Gospel, and our practice of love for one another. While Christians may disagree on various secondary issues, these core aspects should not be compromised. We need to prioritize unity grounded in love. This type of unity powerfully demonstrates Christ to non-believers and can transform our communities.
This message focuses on the theme of compassion in the church. Pastor John talks about what it looks like to have compassion for the hurting, compassion for prodigals, and compassion for the world. He urges us to create a margin in our lives to help others, to welcome back those who have strayed with open arms, and to view the world with the same compassion that Jesus had.
This message discusses what makes a healthy church, focusing on three key areas based on Jesus' messages to churches in Revelation. Pastor John emphasizes the importance of maintaining passion and love for Jesus (not losing one's "first love"), avoiding permissive teaching that condones sin, and guarding against complacency and pride. Throughout, he stresses the need for repentance in these areas to cultivate a truly healthy church.
In this message, Pastor John explains that a prevailing church is devoted to spiritual growth and fellowship, cares for its members, and demonstrates maturity through unity and love. He challenges us to consider our level of involvement in the church and whether we are willing to move closer to the center of church life while acknowledging that church involvement can sometimes be messy and painful.
In this message, our Online Campus Pastor, Mary Solis, focuses on the importance of deep relationships with others as part of our faith journey. She explains that God not only commands us to love others, but also designed us for meaningful relationships and has a purpose for us in connecting deeply with people. She encourages listeners to open up their lives to God first and then gradually to others, offering practical steps for building community within the church and beyond.
In this message, Pastor Eric encourages us to move into a deeper, more committed relationship with Jesus. He emphasizes that following Jesus is for everyone and requires intentionality, particularly in spending regular time alone with God. The reward for following Jesus deeply is Jesus himself and the abundant life He offers, beyond just belief to a transformed way of living.
In this message, we discussed the tenth commandment - "Do not covet." We explored how coveting affects relationships with others, ourselves, and God. We learned the importance of contentment, wisdom, and finding satisfaction in God rather than worldly possessions or comparisons to others. We should trust in God's provision and avoid jealousy and envy by focusing on our own spiritual growth and relationship with God rather than comparing ourselves to others.
This message focuses on the ninth commandment and expands on the importance of using words to build others up rather than tear them down. Pastor Broc shares some of his personal struggles and outlines his steps to improve, including seeking counseling, dealing with root issues, finding a supportive community, and creating space for God to work on his soul. The sermon reminds us that uplifting speech can help others recognize their inherent worth as beings created in God's image.
In this message, we unpack the eighth commandment: "Do not steal." Pastor John explains that stealing is not just about taking physical objects but stems from deeper heart issues of greed and fear. He emphasizes that the only remedy for these heart issues is surrendering to Jesus, cultivating contentment, gratitude, and generosity, and trusting God to provide rather than relying on our own efforts or possessions.
This message unpacks the seventh commandment: "You must not commit adultery." We explore Jesus' teachings on faithfulness and purity of heart, emphasizing that unfaithfulness starts in the heart and that God's design for relationships is greater than our desires. Pastor Eric stresses the importance of fleeing temptation and pursuing righteousness while highlighting Christ's constant faithfulness to us despite our shortcomings.
In this message, we explore the deeper meaning of the sixth commandment, "Do not murder," by examining Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5. Pastor John explains that this commandment goes beyond physical murder to encompass anger in our hearts, harsh words, and vengeful actions toward others. He emphasizes that as Christians, we should examine our hearts, adjust our behavior, and practice forgiveness in order to truly live out this commandment in our relationships.
In this message, we celebrate Father's Day by unpacking the 5th Commandment, which says to honor our father and mother. We discuss what a father needs, focusing on honor, respect, care, prayer, and grace. We also acknowledge that while not everyone had a great father figure, forgiveness and grace can free us from bitterness and open doors for healing.
This message emphasizes the importance of observing the Sabbath rest, not as a legalistic obligation but as a principle for maintaining a sustainable and healthy lifestyle physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Pastor John challenges us to evaluate if we are living over-scheduled and stressed lives and encourages us to be willing to slow down, dwell in God's rest, and for non-believers, to find true rest in Jesus Christ.
In this message, Pastor Zach walks us through the Third Commandment, "Do not take the Lord's name in vain," emphasizing that it means more than just avoiding profanity. It calls Christians to bear God's name well by living in a way that glorifies and represents Him to others. He further explains that bearing God's name involves living an "unusual" life of love, integrity, justice, and holiness that stands out from the world around us.
In this message, we unpack the Second Commandment, "You shall not make for yourself an idol." Pastor Robert emphasizes that this commandment is about more than just physical idols. He highlights that idolatry can also present itself in other ways - getting impatient with God's process, making good things required rather than following God's guidance, and adding man-made rules or requirements to the worship of God. We are challenged to examine our lives for areas where we may be exhibiting these symptoms of idolatry and realign our focus on loving God and others, rather than following a checklist mentality.
In today's message, we talk about the First Commandment - "You shall have no other gods before me", and how we often put things like money and ourselves (our desires, careers, etc.) before God in our lives. Pastor John emphasizes that the Ten Commandments are not just rules, but guidelines for how to love God and love others, which Jesus summarized as the greatest commandments.
We celebrate Mother's Day weekend with a message encouraging us to honor, respect, care for, and show grace toward the mother figures in our lives.
In this message, John sits down with Outreach Pastor, Launa Vaughn, to discuss Hope Fellowship's missions and outreach efforts both locally and globally. They talk about the impact of child sponsorship through organizations like Compassion International, with guest speaker Owen sharing his powerful story of how being sponsored as a child in Kenya changed his life.
In this message, we discuss how to respond when facing challenges and difficulties in life, using the example of the apostle Paul, who endured many hardships while preaching the gospel. We are encouraged to focus on God's strength in our weakness, attach purpose and perspective to our struggles, and fix our gaze on eternal things rather than temporary troubles.
In this message, Toby Slough walks us through how to find freedom from life's struggles by embracing change. He shares his personal story with us and emphasizes that lasting change takes time, requires understanding one's true identity in Christ, and involves taking small steps rather than waiting for an instantaneous transformation. We learn that Jesus offers freedom amid trials and that we must actively participate in the process of change.
In this message, we learn that the depth of our relationship with God determines the depth of our endurance and faith when facing difficult situations where it feels like our world is falling apart. Through the story of Job, we see that trusting in God's plan, even when we don't understand it, is the path to being restored and blessed.
In this message, Pastor Mike Martin shares his personal story with us and gives insight on how to navigate difficult seasons and challenges in life. He emphasizes the importance of community, prayer, and finding strength in God's promises during times of grief and suffering.
In this Easter message, we talk about how Jesus is the answer; He is the answer to finding peace, healing, purpose, overcoming sin, and conquering death. Pastor John challenges believers to truly live what they believe and invites non-believers to a life with Jesus by acknowledging that Jesus died and rose again to provide new life.
Jesus is a different kind of king, building a different kind of kingdom. The way of Jesus' kingdom is counter-cultural - embracing humility, servanthood, and sacrifice rather than grasping for power and position. As followers of Jesus, we are called to have the same attitude and represent his kingdom in how we live our lives.
In this message, we seek the answer to whether Jesus was Lord or a liar. Jesus taught with great authority and wisdom that amazed people. The sermon argues that we should not just trust Jesus for our eternal destiny but also accept his teachings and make him the Lord and guide over how we live our daily lives. It presents evidence for why Jesus can be trusted, including his miraculous deeds, and brilliant teachings that attracted multitudes.
In this message, we examine the historical evidence for the existence of Jesus, citing numerous secular and non-Christian sources from the 1st-3rd centuries AD. While Jesus' existence is well-attested, the main issue was with his claims. Was Jesus just another historical figure, or was he who he claimed to be - the son of God?
This message focuses on Jesus as a teacher, specifically addressing his teachings on greed. The main text we covered was from Luke 12, where Jesus warns against greed and calls his followers to prioritize God's kingdom over accumulating possessions. The message highlighted three symptoms of greed and encouraged us to seek God's kingdom first and practice generosity. We learned that true security and fulfillment come from obedience to God rather than chasing after wealth and possessions.
When you say “I do," you begin the journey of a lifetime and dream of that journey being perfect.

In today's message, we are reminded of why God gave us the gift of Jesus - because He loves us. We will dive into the Christmas story together as we celebrate the birth of Jesus!
By mid-December, too many already hate Christmas. We are tired of the carols, the parties, the decorations, and our tree is already starting to die. There are a lot of reasons that people hate Christmas. But what if all of the hatred is because what we hoped for wasn’t reality? This year, set aside the hate and come expecting something new this Christmas as we dive into Advent themes of the season.

The Bible seems to mention the overwhelming power of two things in our lives: money and words. What does it mean for money to have the power over us? Is it actually possible to serve money instead of God? The Bible says that the tongue has the power of life and death. Is that actually true? In “The Power of _____,” we tackle the power of money and our words.

Instead of Jesus being the center of our faith, we tend to elevate some particular doctrine, religious rules, regulations, or even the Bible to the position reserved solely for Jesus. What would it look like for Jesus to be the center of everything we know, and how would that transform who we are?

Have you recently asked yourself why there seems to be so much hate and division in the world? It seems to be like a puzzle that will never be solved. But what if followers of Jesus have an essential piece of the puzzle - God’s love? Once we understand God’s love for the world, we see our role in sharing that love with others. We have something to give, and we believe that The Love We Give is that missing piece the world desperately needs.

With a population of 7.5 billion worldwide, people are everywhere! And yet, according to a recent AP Report, “Americans, who have become less engaged with worship houses, community organizations, and even their own family members in recent decades, have steadily reported an increase in feelings of loneliness.” Isolation and individualism are rising while vulnerability and accountability are becoming obsolete. Is there a way from the teachings of Jesus that would help us live lives that were fully known and fully loved by God and others as we continue moving towards the center of God’s purpose for our lives? Of course, that answer is YES! And it’s found in community.

Talking about our struggles and shortcomings can be difficult to do, and often times we would rather keep these struggles to ourselves. Maybe you are dealing with something that you're afraid to confess, so you try to battle it privately. The Bible tells us that by bringing our struggles to the light through confession, we find freedom and strength to overcome them! In this series, we will tackle a few of these difficult-to-discuss topics and go over steps we can take for healthy growth with Jesus.

Generosity is not just about money, or giving of our time or talents. Generosity is about the condition of our hearts.

In this series, we will discover that the genius of generosity is that it doesn’t add up - it multiplies.

The Bible is full of stories, songs, wisdom and teaching on how to love God and love people. The problem is, even for those of us who grew up in church, it can sometimes be difficult to understand what it says and how to apply it. In this year’s Summer Series, we will spend time learning tools for how to study the Bible, and then we’ll put it into practice by working through the book of Hebrews.

When reading the New Testament, we are reminded of Jesus’ promise to send us a helper after Himself. When things get tough, we naturally search for help. But are we looking for help in the right places? As believers, who are we looking to for help? Are we looking to friends or family? Or are we looking to The Holy Spirit - our ultimate Helper, sent as a gift to us by Jesus? In this three part series, we will discuss the Gifts of the Spirit, the Fruit of the Spirit, and how to walk in the Spirit.

Another day, another pastor or a church in the news headlines. You had your doubts, but now those doubts feel a little more like fractures. You believe God is real, but why has He stayed silent? Why does he allow so much pain? Does he see all of the Christians who are hurting other people in His name? Can I recover from how shaky my faith feels at times or is it time to simply walk away?

If you or a family member is struggling with some of these questions, we hope you’ll join us for this new series called “Fractured Faith.”
One thing is for sure: Jesus gets quoted a lot. Whether it's a scripture verse you heard in a sermon somewhere, or maybe even something a friend said in a conversation, you’ve probably heard His name and his words discussed. When Jesus showed up on the scene in Galilee at the beginning of His ministry, He made an impression by taking the existing teaching of the Bible, and many times, turning it upside down and giving it new meaning for those hearing it for the first time. To wrap up this series this Easter weekend, we will discuss one of Jesus' most powerful statements, "It Is Finished."

Famed psychologist David Benner says: “The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies, but that we live them.” When we let the lies in, they wreak havoc to our souls and sabotage our peace. But how do we fight deceptive ideas that lead to disordered desires? Jesus, on the other hand, says that, “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” We have to know the difference between our voice, the enemy’s voice, and God’s voice. Only then can we live a life that is based in truth. Only then can we live no lies.

The Bible Project summarizes the Book of Philippians with this statement: “Philippians makes clear that our stories are living expressions of Jesus' story.” As Christ-followers, we’re called to emulate Jesus by living a life of joy, prayer, and perseverance through hardship. Paul’s letter is chock-full of wise words, encouragement and challenges that helps us grow deeper in our faith each day.

Sometimes it can be so easy to walk through life discouraged and feeling alone. Even with the best intentions and resolutions, we often find ourselves back to old patterns and habits when we try to change. Sometimes what we need most is a word of encouragement to simply keep going. It’s almost like someone throwing a life preserver to us just when we feel like we’re drowning. Maybe we just need a simple reminder in 2022: Don’t Give Up.

Anyone can succeed in a New Year’s resolution. In fact, the Wall Street Journal says that only 12% of people who start a New Year’s resolution actually finishes. This message is not for those 12% - instead, it’s for those of us in the 88%. It's all about failing. It happens to most of us who make resolutions, so we are going to discuss how to fail - and how to do so quickly.

We believe many ideas about what it takes to attain a good life. We start to believe that if we had more money, more friends, or more things -- then life would be good. But maybe as Christ-followers the answer isn’t more. Maybe we can find purpose in ways we don’t normally expect.

Many of the church traditions we hold today have been around for over 2,000 years. What do we really know about the origins and theology of the Apostle’s Creed, baptism, communion, penance and ancient prayers? Should we continue in these traditions, or let them remain in the past?

Yearbooks are memorials of the past. They’re a snap shot of who we were, and a clue into who we wanted to be. In the story of the Exodus, Moses and the Israelites must come face to face with who they were in Egypt, and who God was calling them to be as they journeyed to the Promised Land.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt out of place; like there was a chasm standing between you and everyone else? Maybe it was the way you dressed, the way you spoke or maybe even the color of your skin. Whatever the reason, you had no way of crossing this great chasm: you needed a bridge. Join us as we look at what the Bible has to say about what it means to live in unity.

We are all devoted to something. Our jobs, our kids, our favorite team, our bank accounts... the list is endless. However, Jesus calls us as Christ followers to be devoted to Him. To His teachings. To His ways. And the early church disciples found a great recipe to help us navigate the pathway of life as a Christian... so the question is not, "WHAT do we do?", but rather, "Are we DEVOTED to it?"

Let’s be real: there are things in the Bible that are difficult to understand. Sometimes we don’t want to change things about ourselves, so we avoid passages that challenge us. Other times, what we read feels really confusing or hard to understand. In “Redacted” we answer some of the most pressing questions you may - or may not - want to answer.

Since the beginning of the relationship between human beings and God, we’ve wanted to have our own king, instead of letting God be our King. From Saul, Solomon, David to Caesar, human kings have disappointed, failed and missed the mark. Jesus is the only true King, and through this series, we’ll see how he is the King of Kings; promised in the Old Testament, and fulfilled in the New Testament.

We live in a broken and imperfect world filled with broken and imperfect people. There is beauty, but there is also pain. It’s no surprise that when people enter into relationship with one another, we experience and sometimes even create more pressure and pain in our lives. The challenge of this 4 week sermon series is to get us to consider how God can use pressure and even pain to produce perseverance and purpose in our lives.

In this series, we’re going to be diving into what it looks like for God’s will to be done in our lives as it is in Heaven. But there’s also a bigger picture to this. What would it look like for God’s will to be accomplished in Frisco, in McKinney, and in Prosper ….as it is in Heaven? A prayer like this, and movement like this, could impact the greater Dallas area and even beyond.

If we look carefully, we can see beauty in the world around us. The changing leaves in the trees, the sounds of children playing, or the late bloom of a flower. But we know that the real beauty lies within us. In “The Beauty of Generosity,” we dig deep into the beauty that a life of generosity really holds, and how it’s worth pursuing and modeling with our lives.

Sometimes fears can be paralyzing, stopping us in our tracks from doing amazing things and keeping us from becoming the best version of who we were meant to be. What is it that you’ve allowed fear to keep you from doing or becoming? More importantly…..What are you Afraid of?

What’s in your backpack? You know, the backpack you’ve carried for way too long that you shouldn’t have. The one that maybe holds your self-doubt, insecurity, mistakes and shame. We all have one, and we’ve all lugged that stuff around for far too long. It’s time to know what’s in our backpack, take out what doesn’t belong there, and take healthy steps forward in “The Weight We Carry.”

If there’s anything we’ve learned over the last few months, it’s that we need each other. We can see it from the beginning when God realized that we weren’t created to be alone, to the early church growing in numbers through community. We were created for community, and we believe a life lived for others in community is full of joy and purpose.

As followers of Christ, our battles aren’t with regular enemies, but with what we can’t see. God gives us the weapons we need to fight these spiritual battles, but our eyes tend to only focus on the “flesh and blood.”
