The Bible for Regular People 04: Acts 8 / When the Walls Come Down

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.

The Bible For Regular People 03: Acts 6-7 / Stephen

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.

The Bible for Regular People 02: Acts 2-3 - The Pentecost and Peter

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.

The Bible for Regular People 01: Acts 1 - The Ascension

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.

The Trinity 03: God the Holy Spirit

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.

The Trinity 02: God the Son

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.

The Trinity 01: God the Father

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.

Mother's Day at Hope 2026

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.

Love Your Neighbor 03: Jesus-Centered Helping

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.
