Living Hope Missionary Church

The Great Commission

Jesus, in His own Words, commissions everyone who follows Him to be engaged in ministry. If you consider yourself a Christian, you are commanded and expected to be about His work. Pastor Alan will help enlighten us on these key points of the Great Commission: Therefore; Go; Make Disciples; Baptizing; AND Teaching.
Pastor Alan Stover
Matthew 28:18-20

Take Courage

Pastor Alan Stover
Matthew 14:22-33
When you find yourself in a STORM, when even hope becomes a blur, Jesus, in His own words, says, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." The 8-percenters, like Peter, help us see possibilities that we can all learn from. When it is all said and done, we need Jesus in our boat.

EASTER, RESURRECTION-LIFE

Pastor Alan Stover
John 11:25-26
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is more than just an event that happened once in history on Easter morning. The same resurrection power that brought Jesus from death to life is available to us. Easter People live and walk in resurrection power every day. Live the Resurrection Life!

I Am the Bread of Life

Pastor Alan Stover
John 6:35
Jesus, in His own Words, tells us the answer to life. We are not spiritually satisfied unless we know Jesus. Deep inside, we are dead without Jesus. Jesus is the bread of life. On Him, God the Father has placed His seal of approval.

To All Who Believe

Pastor Alan Stover
John 3:14-16
If you have every memorized a verse of the Bible, it probably was John 3:16. Jesus, in His own Words summarizes God's mercy for each of us, God's plan to save the world, and God's promise of eternal life. Today, we will look at this verse in context. What did Jesus mean when He compared Himself with what Moses did long ago? What effect has the historical Moses event had on the world? What effect has Jesus' fulfilment of John 3:16 had on the world? What is your response to all of this?

The Way, The Truth, The Life

Pastor Alan Stover
John 14:6
When we have a long journey ahead of us, many of us just Google our destination, look at our electronic map and get an idea of the roads we will travel to get there. We determine the best route then start our journey. Have you ever considered the best route in your journey of life? If we let the Bible take the place of our GPS, Jesus promises the way to an eternal destination with our Heavenly Father. The best route down the road of life is simply knowing and trusting in Jesus daily, even moment-by-moment. We can walk in faith that He is the way and the truth and the life. When we abide in Him, we may not know a defined course for our journey, but we can rest in the comfort of faith – that He will lead us exactly where we need to go.

My yoke is easy and my burden is light

Pastor Alan Stover
Matthew 11:28-30
In today's society we seem frequently in a hurry for something. We are also bombarded by worldly ideals that make no sense for people seeking to live in God's will. Are you weary and burdened? Our Savior Jesus beacons us to STOP and come to Him for rest.

God Provides

Pastor Alan Stover
Philippians 4:14-20
As we look at God's promise to provide for all our needs, we should consider why we respond as we do to the following questions:
Are you content with your financial situation in life?Are you financially supporting someone in ministry? Do you tithe to the local church?Do you give generously?Do you feel empowered by God to endure difficult times when it seems there is not enough?

An Appeal to God’s Peace

Pastor Alan Stover
Philippians 4:4-9
This is Part 6 of our series on Philippians: This is Living! Pastor Alan reveals a set of commands with an awesome promise of God's Peace - the peace of God guarding us, and the God of peace with us.

Planted with a Purpose

Pastor Alan Stover
Philippians 3:12-14
The Apostle Paul lays out a pattern of life that challenges us to live for a similar purpose. Our purpose is not of this world, it is for the glory and praise of God.
