People Devoted To The Word | Terry Virgo by Hope Church Winchester

In this message from Matthew 28:16-20, we explore the moment Jesus meets his disciples on a mountain in Galilee — not a polished, confident group, but 11 ordinary people carrying doubt, wonder, and worship all at once. We look at what it means to be a lifelong learner of Jesus, why doubt doesn't disqualify us, and the staggering promise that Jesus holds all authority and is with us always — to the end of the age. Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for decades, this is a message to encourage and ground you.

A Mother in Israel // Becky Pickett // Judges 5:7 by Hope Church Winchester

In this message from our Light in the Darkness series in Judges, we look at the sobering story of Jephthah in Judges 11. His life shows both the grace of God, who uses flawed and unlikely people, and the danger of acting without carefully listening to God’s Word. Jephthah was a capable leader and a valiant warrior, yet a rash vow made in fear and doubt led to devastating consequences. Through this difficult passage we see the importance of trusting God rather than trying to bargain with Him, and the wisdom of letting Scripture guide our decisions. The story ultimately points us beyond human failure to the one true and willing sacrifice: Jesus Christ. Where Jephthah’s story reveals human foolishness, the cross reveals the wisdom and power of God. In this sermon we explore: - How God often uses unlikely and broken people - The danger of rash promises and trying to control outcomes - Why Scripture must shape how we live and make decisions - How the story ultimately points us to Christ and the cross

Today we're praying for Hope Kids. Gideon and Ihie have recorded a short video to help guide our prayers for the children in our church and their families. Matthew 19:14 “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them...the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” Prayer points: 1. Thankfulness for our children and families Thank God for the children in Hope Church and for families who love them and teach them about Jesus. 2. Friendship, growth, and learning Pray that children would build meaningful friendships and do well at school, growing in confidence and ability. 3. Godly influence and Christlike character Pray that children would not be shaped by unhealthy influences, but would walk in the light of Christ, showing kindness, obedience, and sharing the love of Jesus.
