Abraham's Test of Faith
Pastor Mimi Kim preaches on Abraham's faith out of Genesis 22:1-19. When faced with an incredible test, Abraham moved quickly to obey and in doing so gained an even greater faith. Thousands of years later, Isaac's question of "Where's the offering lamb" is finally answered: Jesus has come!
Scripture: Genesis 22:1-19
Be on the Alert!
Pastor Kyu Kim teaches on the coming of the Lord and what it means for our lives. The disciples were asking “When?” but that is not of the utmost importance. What matters is how faithfully we are living and how ready we are Christ’s return. The coming of the Lord is near!
Scripture: Mark 13
The Widow's Might Not Mite
Pastor Kyu Kim focuses on the widow who gave all she had as an offering to God. Though it just a mite by any earthly measure, in God’s view it was more than what anyone else gave. Honoring and loving God is a matter of Lordship and heart. May we give and do all things out of love for Jesus.
Scripture: Mark 12:41-44
The Name of Jesus
Pastor Mimi Kim teaches on the name of Jesus. It is a name that saves, a name that is above all other names, a name that has power, and a name by which we receive blessings. One day, all knees will bow and all tongues will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, Son of God, and King of all.
Scripture: Matthew 1:20-21
Two More Days of Darkness
Pastor Danny Han gives us insight into God's perspective on our seasons of darkness. Like a moth has to fully develop its wings by struggling out its shell, the our struggles are necessary for us to mature in God. The bigger the struggle, the deeper the work. "Is it possible that God doesn't answer your prayer right away because He loves you?"
Scripture: John 11:1-16
Word for 2018: Open Door
Pastor Kyu Kim encourages us with God’s powerful word to the church of Philadelphia. God says we have done well when we keep His word and do not deny His name. God has seen what have done; now, see that God has done for us. He has set before us an open door to His promises, abundance, opportunities to minister, and much more. We no longer need to knock. We need to walk through that wide open door with faith.
Scripture: Revelation 3:7-13
A House of Prayer for All the Peoples
Pastor Kyu Kim reminds us of why Jesus cleared out the temple: to restore it to a house of prayer. Jesus cast out everything that exploited and hindered His people. We are reminded that from the beginning, HOPE church invests in each generation so that they may rise up to love God.
Scripture: Mark 11:15-17, Isaiah 56:7
Good News of Great Joy
Pastor Kyu Kim presents the Christmas story and teaches how heaven needed to come to earth. Jesus came into the world to heal brokenness. The joyous announcement was not made to the elite but rather to the overlooked. This is how God chose to reveal Himself. This is God’s character.
Scripture: Luke 2:8-20
If You Want to be Great
Pastor Kyu Kim speaks on living a life of greatness. Jesus taught that to be great one must follow Him, the Jesus who came to serve and to give His life for our sake. How do we live out this life of greatness?
