Hope Fellowship Teaching Podcast

In the final week of our Built for This series, Pastor Eric unpacks John 20:19-23 to explore what it looks like to live sent right where God has placed you — at work, at school, in your neighborhood, even in traffic. Discover how presence and purpose, along with the power of the Holy Spirit, can change the way you see the ordinary places you go every day.

In week 2 of our Built for This series, Pastor Zach Wright walks through 2 Kings: 16-21 to explore how a father and son, Ahaz and Hezekiah, chose radically different paths in a time of crisis. In this message, discover why the family that shaped you doesn't have to define you, and how God invites every one of us, regardless of our history, to find our place in His family. Whether your family has been a source of strength or pain, this message will show you that it's never too late to choose a new formation.

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 through Acts, 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 "The Bible for Regular People," Pastor Zach Wright digs into Acts 10-11 and one of the most significant turning points in the entire New Testament — the moment God makes it clear that the gospel is for everyone, without exception. Along the way, he also walks through how to read and interpret scripture for yourself so God's word can come alive in your everyday life.

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.
