Sunday Recap 8.1.10
This past Sunday at Hope Church was absolutely incredible!- We opened the service with a God-centered, Christ-exalting devotional prayer from The Valley of Vision.
- Then we flowed right into our worship set: Doxology, Everything (our own revised version), Happy Day, and Let The Redeemed of the Lord Say So. Later in the service we did Kristian Stanfill’s “I Need You“.
- …Worship was absolutely amazing!
- The message I preached was pt 4 of our expositional journey through the book of James, (James 2:14-19). Preached hard on how a life poured out in deeds of mercy is a sign of genuine faith in Jesus, and how the gospel requires that we show mercy and provide real help to the poor.
- At the end of my message, I had our entire congregation break up into their Grace Groups and engaged in gospel conversations to flesh out how their small groups can demonstrate acts of mercy in meeting some of the urgent needs of hurting people in our communities.
- As I walked around and listened to pockets of conversations, my heart melted as I heard folks practicing repentance and fleshing out how they can help poverty-stricken people in their communities.
- We closed the service with youth pastor Joseph Hyde praying for all of our students, school teachers and educators.
- Praising God for all He’s doing in our city through Hope Church…To Him alone be all the glory.

It was such a beautiful time, Pastor! Thank you for being obedient to the Spirit’s leading and being willing to step out of the box. Your ministry truly perpetuates life change and relationship building ~ not just sitting and hearing a message on Sunday mornings and leaving the same way we came in. WE LOVE YOU and thank God for you!
Loving this, bro. May God pour out an old time revival in the midst of your people for the purpose of gospel advance and the fame of Jesus.
