Selflessness Takes Mind
"We can’t effectively love others when our own minds are trapped by shame, insecurity, bitterness, or lies. We need the renewed mind of Christ and must learn to see ourselves as God sees us: valued, loved, and made new. "
Selflessness Takes Soul
"How we spend our calendars and our finances are "receipts" of our identity. They expose what we truly value and who we are becoming."
Selflessness Takes Strength
"True selflessness isn't about recognition or credit—it's about faithfully serving without needing the spotlight. The sermon closes by reminding us that before Jesus ever asked us to make room for others, He first made room for us through the cross, inviting us to respond by making room for Him and living selflessly."
Selflessness Takes Heart
"Selfish people are always looking for the line. Selfless people are always looking for the opportunity."
Not There Yet
" Until Christ makes all things new, believers are called to honestly bring their pain to God, anchor themselves in His Word, and intentionally recognize His goodness. Even in the middle of suffering, we can endure because we know something better is ahead. "
Change Of Plans
"Before Lot’s wife looked back, God had already rescued her. The message emphasizes that salvation and rescue begin with God’s mercy, not our own efforts. "
Don't Look Back
"Before Lot’s wife looked back, God had already rescued her. The message emphasizes that salvation and rescue begin with God’s mercy, not our own efforts. "
Pursue The Hopeless
"While all Christians share the same mission, each person has a unique way of living it out—through serving the church, leading others, influencing their workplace, family, community, or sphere of influence for Christ. "
Find Community
" Salvation is not only about being rescued from your past; it's about being brought into God's family. Followers of Jesus are called to find community through groups, discipleship, serving, and meaningful relationships with other believers."
Own Your Faith
"Owning your faith means committing to a community. Owning your faith means becoming more like Jesus. Owning your faith means letting Jesus disrupt your life."
Encounter God
"God doesn’t just want something from you—He wants something for you. The church should create spaces for people to encounter God "
Who Do I Become?
"Jesus is the builder of the Church, and we are the pieces He uses. God’s church is not built on programs, personalities, or performance, but on surrendered people connected together for His purpose. "
Same Posture, Different Place
" Real faith is not polished and in control. It is continuing to bring your anger, your pain, your questions, and your disappointment to Him instead of running from Him."
Intercede
Prayer is how we stand in the gap. Prayer is not passive—it’s powerful, and it’s our primary way to fight for others.
Surrender
" We must surrender the results to God – Growth is “automatic” in God’s kingdom; our job is faithfulness, while God alone brings transformation in His timing. "
Get In The Water
" Faith and belief are trust in action. Faith isn’t just thinking, it requires movement. "
Amazing Faith
" Mature faith fights for others – As faith grows, it moves beyond self and compels us to pursue, love, and lead others into God’s kingdom. "
I've Been Here Before
" Do not let others define your life by pain, labels, or past mistakes, because of the resurrection, we choose to get up instead of give up. "
Do The One Thing: Silence
"God is speaking, but noise often keeps us from recognizing His voice, our silence with God develops a deeper trust in God’s presence and timing."
Do The One Thing: Scripture
"Scripture is meant to be fulfilled in through obedience. Spiritual depth is encounter, not information."
Do The One Thing: Fasting
"Fasting is the practice that removes all the wrong clothes so we are ready to receive the right ones. It is not simply giving something up—it is making space for God to reshape what rules us."
Do The One Thing: Prayer
"Prayer unlocks the power of God."
Do The One Thing: Worship
"If we want Jesus’ victory, we follow Jesus’ practices. You don’t win by trying everything — you win by doing the one thing consistently."
Make God First
"In order to have healthy "horizontal" relationships with others, we must first have a healthy "vertical" relationship with God"
I Can Change
"You Can’t Change How Someone Wronged You — But You Can Change How You Respond."
Not What I Imagined
"We choose how to frame what God paints."
The God Who Pursues
"God does not wait for the lost - He pursues."
Don't Forget Your Purpose
"The purpose of your hope is to point people to Jesus."
Don't Forget Who Got You Here
"You Can Be Confident Because God Is Always Committed."
Don't Forget How Far You've Come
"Your Progress Is Proof of God’s Faithfulness."
Don't Forget Who You Are
Key Points: • Don’t Forget Who You Are: Identity Matters. When identity is questioned—personally or corporately—we become defensive because identity shapes behavior. For the church, identity is expressed through culture, mission, vision, and values. If Be Hope forgets who it is, it will drift into who it is not. • Jesus Is Our Hope (Not Wishful Thinking). Hebrews 10:23 calls believers to hold…
Faithful Over Feeling
"My enough will never be enough, but I don't have to be enough - I just have to be faithful."
The Night Heaven Fought For You
Key Points: • Christmas Is Often the Story We Didn’t See Coming. We expect Christmas to be picture-perfect, meaningful, and fulfilling—but reality often disappoints. Just like unmet expectations, disrupted plans, grief, or exhaustion, many of us arrive at Christmas carrying things we never anticipated. The “Christmas we didn’t see coming” mirrors the moments in life when we feel caught off guard…
Hidden, But Still Happening
Key Points: • Some of the best things God does are hidden on purpose. Just like the best bread or hidden gems in life, God often works beneath the surface. What’s unseen isn’t absent—it’s intentional. • God’s promises may be hidden, but they are still valid. Mary kept God’s word in her heart, yet Elizabeth—through the Holy Spirit—validated it. Visibility is not the measure of truth; God’s…
Afraid, But Still Favored
Key Points: • God’s greeting is personal and full of grace. God approaches us personally—not impersonally—and invites us to be seen, known, and welcomed. Belief is acknowledging who God is; that He’s real, powerful, sovereign, and good. • God's favor is given, not earned. Mary had done nothing to earn favor. Favor is rooted in grace (charis), not achievement. It’s not a level-up, not a pass from…
Silent But Not Absent
KEY POINTS: • Belief is acknowledging who God is; that He’s real, powerful, sovereign, and good. • Faith is choosing trust even before the outcome changes. • We’re called to be faithful in the silence. • Doubt often comes when His timing, promises, or methods don’t match our expectations. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. When have you gone through a season that felt silent—where you weren’t sure what God…
Undivided Heart
KEY POINTS: • He honestly brings his needs to God, trusts Him, and asks for: God’s help and mercy, Joy and forgiveness, A heart that is undivided, fully centered on God. • Our hearts were originally whole and undivided (Genesis 1–2). Humanity was created to live in perfect relationship with God. • Distractions still divide our hearts today. Busyness, bitterness, apathy, comparison, unhealthy…
You Don't Need The Answer
KEY POINTS: • Your faith isn't built on answered prayer, it is built on God's acceptance of your prayers. • Scripture calls us to persistence: “Faithful in prayer” “Keep asking” “Present your requests” • David roots his hope in one thing: God’s unfailing love. That’s why we keep praying, not to get God’s attention, but because we already have it. • You don't need an answer to your prayer, you need…
When The Holy Spirit Comes To Church
KEY POINTS: • Boldness comes from being with Jesus. • The Holy Spirit empowers bold proclamation. • The Holy Spirit creates unity in the church. • The Holy Spirit produces generosity among believers. • When the Holy Spirit comes to church, He brings boldness, unity, and generosity. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What stood out to you most from today’s message? 2. Was there something that challenged or…
The Road That Runs Low
KEY POINTS: • Live differently. • Remain faithful to Kingdom living as Kingdom citizens. • Christ is the power of God, and the gospel is still the good news. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What stood out to you most from today’s message? 2. Was there something that challenged or encouraged you? 3. How do you think this message applies to your life right now? 4. What did you learn about who God is…
But Who Are You?
KEY POINTS · God chooses who He uses. · God chooses the insignificant and the unseen. · God chooses those who don't deserve it. · God chooses according to His purpose, not your past. · God chooses people who pass it on, never to be the recipient. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. When you think about your own life, what surprises you most about the idea that God chose you — not because of what you’ve done,…
The Shift Is In You
KEY POINTS · The shift is in you. · The shift in you begins with God's presence. · Faith shifts our level of generosity. · Faith shifts our level of generosity, but generosity shifts our level of faith. · Why am I Here? I can pray, I can hear, I can give, I can lead. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. When you think about your own life, where have you noticed a shift — a change in the way you see things,…
Before You Go Back
KEY POINTS · Faith ignites when we stop going back to the familiar and start fighting for the eternity of others. · Familiar doesn’t always mean healthy; sometimes it means comfortable but destructive. · Growth in faith requires letting go of old patterns, places, and people that once held us back. · Many people mistake the plateau for failure—but it’s actually a place of testing and deepening…
When God Does More Than Enough
KEY POINTS: · When God does more than enough. · Giving ability starts with given ability. · We pursue the hopeless. · Why am I Here? I can pray, I can hear, I can give, I can lead. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. When have you felt like what you had (your time, talent, or money) wasn’t enough—and how might God see it differently? 2. Exodus 31 says God “filled them with His Spirit” to do their work. What…
21 Days: Day 19
Hi Be Hope welcome to day 21 of Prayer and Fasting. My name is Bri and I get the privilege to serve on multiple hope teams. I hope over these last 20 days you have been able to see how God is providing in your life. Today we are going to be in Mark 12:40-44 “They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely. Jesus sat down opposite the place…
21 Days: Day 18
Hello everyone, I'm Maddy, and today I get the honor of sharing a devotional with you! We have been talking about God's provision, so I'm going to be focusing on the life of Paul in Philippians chapter 4! In this chapter, Paul is under house arrest and awaiting trial, so he cannot provide for himself. Luckily, Paul had some help. The Philippian people sent a few things. It was most likely money…
21 Days: Day 17
Hey Be Hope! Welcome back to another day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. I really hope this time has been meaningful for you as we’ve journeyed together over the past couple of weeks. My name is Taylor, and I get to serve on the Production and Creative Team here at Be Hope. Today, I want to share from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, verses 9–13 — a passage many of us know well: The Lord’s…
21 Days: Day 16
Hello, Be Hope! Welcome to another day of 21 days of prayer and fasting. Today's devotional is coming to you from the Book of Matthew, chapter 17, verses 24 through 27. In this story, Peter and Jesus arrive into town, where tax collectors shortly after approached Peter and questioned him and whether Jesus is going to pay his temple tax. Jesus then tells Peter to go down to the lake, cast in his…
21 Days: Day 15
Welcome to 21 days of prayer and fasting. Today we are diving into Exodus 17:1-7. In this section, we find the Israelites are traveling through the wilderness in order to get to the place where God is leading them. But on the way, they begin to complain about how they are thirsty and don’t have enough to drink. So, they accuse Moses of leading them out of Egypt and into the dessert to die. And the…
