| 5/17/26 |  Are You Ready to Stand Before God? | Matt Baker | This week, Pastor Matt Baker wraps up our series The Non-Negotiables with a message on the Final Judgment. It’s a topic many people avoid, but Jesus spoke clearly about eternity, accountability, and the hope we can have through Him. This message reminds us that our lives matter, our choices matter, and that God invites every person to know Him before it’s too late. Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re still figuring out what you believe, this message challenges us to live ready, ... | 28m 19s | ||||||
| 5/10/26 |  Running on Empty? God Still Meets You There | Ken McIntyre | Some seasons leave you exhausted. Mentally, physically, spiritually. In this Mother’s Day message, Pastor Ken walks through the story of the widow and the oil in 2 Kings 4 and reminds us that God meets people who are running on empty. Whether you feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or like you have nothing left to give, this message points to a God who still provides, still restores, and still works through ordinary faith and simple obedience.

| 5/3/26 |  Do You Really Need Church in Your Life? | Paul Malott | What is the church really supposed to be? It’s easy to think of it as a building or a weekly gathering, but this message challenges that idea. Pastor Paul walks through three non-negotiables that define the church and how we’re meant to live it out every day. We’re reminded that following Jesus isn’t just personal. It’s about our relationship with God, our connection with others, and how we reach people outside the faith. This message helps reframe what church actually looks like in real lif... | 29m 29s | ||||||
| 4/26/26 |  You Can’t Fix This on Your Own | Phil Kniesel | We’ve all tried to fix things on our own, and often it just makes things worse. This message looks at the deeper issue behind that struggle and why self-improvement isn’t enough to deal with sin and brokenness. As we walk through Scripture, we’re reminded that salvation isn’t something we earn or figure out. It’s something Jesus has already done for us. This message helps us understand why Jesus is the only one who can truly save and what it means to trust Him with our lives. Sen... | 33m 07s | ||||||
| 4/19/26 |  The Trinity… How Does That Work? | Ken McIntyre | The Trinity can feel confusing, even intimidating. One God in three persons? It’s easy to dismiss or avoid. But what if this isn’t something to be avoided, but actually the core of who God is? In this message, Pastor Ken walks through what the Bible reveals about the Trinity and why it matters for your everyday life. At the centre of it all is something deeply personal: God is love, and through Jesus, you’re invited into that relationship.

| 4/12/26 |  Can You Actually Trust the Bible? | Phil Kniesel | A lot of people respect the Bible, but don’t really trust it. Others have questions but don’t feel like they can ask them out loud. In this message, Pastor Phil walks through some of the biggest doubts people have about the Bible and looks at whether it actually holds up. This isn’t just about information. It’s about whether you can build your life on it. Because if the Bible is trustworthy, it doesn’t just sit on a shelf. It speaks into how you live.

| 4/5/26 |  What's Easter ACTUALLY about? | Phil Kniesel | Easter can feel like tradition, something we do every year without thinking much about it. But what if it’s more than that? What if it’s an invitation into something real that can actually change your life? In this message, Pastor Phil walks through the resurrection story and the people who witnessed it first. Each of them carried a different story, but all of them were changed by Jesus. This message is a reminder that no matter your past, your failures, or where you find yourself today, your... | 23m 22s | ||||||
| 3/29/26 |  How Do We Go From Praise to Rejection | Palm Sunday starts with celebration, but ends with a hard question. How do people go from praising Jesus to rejecting Him just days later? In this message, Pastor Ruben walks through the triumphal entry in Mark 11 and shows how easy it is to want a version of Jesus that fits our expectations, while missing who He actually is. This message helps us look honestly at our own faith and invites us into a life of real surrender, not just surface-level belief. Send us Fan Mail 🙌 Connect with Us: New... | 24m 00s | ||||||
| 3/22/26 |  When God Feels Too Late | Phil Kniesel | Have you ever written something off too soon? A relationship, a dream, your faith, or even yourself? In this message, we look at a moment in Mark 5 where everything seemed over. A dying child, a woman out of options, and people who had already accepted the ending. But where people saw finality, Jesus stepped in and rewrote the story. This message reminds us that Jesus responds to desperate faith, that His timing isn’t random, and that what feels finished to us might just be the place where He... | 29m 18s | ||||||
| 3/15/26 | Peace in the Middle of Chaos | Phil Kniesel | Life often feels chaotic. Unexpected problems, uncertainty, and pressure can make it seem like everything is spinning out of control. In Mark 4:35–41, the disciples find themselves caught in a violent storm while crossing the sea with Jesus. As the waves crash around them, they panic while Jesus sleeps. In this powerful moment, Jesus reveals something deeper than just His ability to calm the wind and waves. He shows that even when life feels chaotic, He is still fully in control. In this mess... | 37m 13s | ||||||

| 3/8/26 |  Why Would Jesus Eat With Sinners? | Ken McIntyre | In Mark 2, Jesus does something surprising. He sits down for a meal with tax collectors and sinners. People society had written off and avoided. In this message, Pastor Ken explores what this moment reveals about the heart of Jesus. While many systems of religion focus on cleaning ourselves up before approaching God, Jesus moves toward people in their brokenness and invites them to follow Him.

| 3/1/26 |  Am I Too Broken for Jesus? | Phil Kniesel | We live in a world that scrolls past what feels uncomfortable. We avoid the messy, the broken, and the complicated. But this is not who Jesus is. In this new series through the Gospel of Mark, we discover a powerful truth: when everyone else steps back from the mess, Jesus steps toward it. He moves toward rejection, defilement, and shame, not to condemn, but to restore.

| 2/22/26 |  What God Says About Sex | Phil Kniesel | Sex is everywhere in our culture. It shapes how we think about identity, belonging, and happiness, often without us realizing it. In this message, Pastor Phil explores what God actually says about sex and why His design is not restrictive but protective.

| 2/15/26 |  How to Build a Marriage That Lasts | Ken McIntyre | Love is powerful, but without wisdom it can fall apart. In this message, Pastor Ken walks through four biblical laws from Song of Songs that help build a love that actually lasts. God didn’t design marriage as a contract built on convenience, but as a covenant built on commitment. Whether you’re married, dating, single, or healing from the past, this message points to a love shaped by God’s design and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus.

| 2/8/26 |  Why Repentance and Forgiveness Go Together | Paul Malott | We all fall short. Even when we know God’s way is best, the old nature can creep in and lead us down paths we never intended to take. In this message, Pastor Paul talks honestly about sin, repentance, and the hope we have when we return to God. As we explore 1 John and the teachings of Jesus, we see that repentance and forgiveness are meant to go hand in hand. Repentance invites us to turn back to God, and forgiveness frees us to move forward. This message is an invitation to experience... | 29m 45s | ||||||
| 2/1/26 |  Why Reading the Bible Still Matters | Phil Kniesel | We all build our lives on something. Whether we realize it or not, we give authority to something that shapes how we think, choose, and live. In this message, Pastor Phil invites us to consider what we’re building on and why God’s Word matters so deeply. As we explore Scripture together, we’re reminded that the Bible doesn’t just inform our faith, it forms our life. God’s Word sustains us, gives us direction, equips us for everyday life, and ultimately leads us to Jesus. Send us Fan M... | 34m 18s | ||||||
| 1/25/26 |  Why Faith Feels Like a Battle | Ken McIntyre | Many people want to love God fully but still feel stuck in an ongoing struggle. In this message, Pastor Ken explores why faith often feels like a battle and why that tension is actually part of the Christian life. As we look at Galatians 5, we discover that freedom is not found in trying harder or giving up, but in learning how to walk by the Spirit each day. This message helps us understand the battle between the old us and the new life God gives us, and how to keep moving toward Him even wh... | 30m 41s | ||||||
| 1/18/26 | What Happens When You Stop Trying to Control Everything? | Phil Kniesel | Many of us like control because it makes us feel safe. But when control takes over, it often leads to stress, anxiety, and frustration. In this message, Pastor Phil invites us to consider a better way forward. As we reflect on Proverbs 3 and the life of Jesus, we discover that surrender is not weakness. It is an act of trust that opens the door to peace, freedom, and a deeper relationship with God. This message helps us learn how to release control and choose surrender as part of loving... | 30m 23s | ||||||
| 1/11/26 |  Where Our Strength Really Comes From | Phil Kniesel | Many people love Jesus but still feel worn down, stuck, or defeated in their faith. In this message, Pastor Phil explores where real strength actually comes from and why just "trying harder" is not the answer. Ephesians 6 helps us see how God provides everything we need to stand strong through temptation, failure, and pressure. This message is an invitation to move beyond spiritual frustration and learn how to live with resilience, confidence, and lasting strength found in the Lord. Send us F... | 31m 11s | ||||||
| 1/4/26 |  Does Praise Really Make a Difference? | Phil Kniesel | As we begin a brand-new year, Pastor Phil launches our new series The Main Thing with a powerful reminder about what matters most. Jesus said the greatest priority in life is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and praise plays a much bigger role in that than many of us realize. In this message, we explore how praise realigns our hearts, guards us against fear, and pulls us back to gratitude. Praise is not just a response to good moments, but a deliberate choice w... | 34m 10s | ||||||
| 12/28/25 |  Three Ways People Respond to Jesus | Paul Drader | In this message, Pastor Paul Drader walks through Matthew 2 and shows three very different ways people respond to Jesus. Through the reactions of King Herod, the religious leaders, and the Wise Men, we see how fear, comfort, and control can keep us from moving toward Jesus, while intentional seeking leads to worship, obedience, and real life change. Each response reveals what we value and ultimately determines the direction of our lives. Send us Fan Mail 🙌 Connect with Us: New? - hopec... | 26m 19s | ||||||
| 12/22/25 |  Finding Room in our Hearts | Josh Moore | In this on-demand message, Pastor Josh walks us through the Christmas story from a different angle — the journey, the timing, and the trust required when God’s plan feels inconvenient or unclear. Through the story of Mary and Joseph, we’re reminded that God’s timing is never random. Even when life feels rushed, delayed, or overwhelming, God is still at work in ways we can’t always see. Merry Christmas from all of us at Hope City. Send us Fan Mail 🙌 Connect with Us: New? - hopecit... | 32m 31s | ||||||
| 12/14/25 |  When God Interrupts Your Plans | Phil Kniesel | One word can change the direction of a life. In this Christmas message, Pastor Phil looks at the moment Mary said yes to God and how that single act of trust became part of a story far bigger than herself. Through Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel, we see how God often interrupts ordinary life with divine purpose. Her yes was not based on comfort, certainty, or control, but on trust in a God whose promises never fail. This message invites each of us to consider what God may be ask... | 31m 08s | ||||||
| 12/7/25 |  Real Hope in a Broken World | Ken McIntyre | We all walk through seasons that feel dark, overwhelming, or uncertain. In this Christmas message, Pastor Ken explores where we often look for hope and why those places can leave us feeling even more discouraged. Drawing from Isaiah 9 and the story of Jesus’ birth, we’re reminded that real hope isn’t positive thinking or coping. It’s a person. Jesus steps into our darkness as the light of the world, offering wisdom, strength, care, and peace. If you’re longing for hope this Chri... | 32m 01s | ||||||
| 12/1/25 |  When Giving Feels Irrational | Phil Kniesel | This week Pastor Phil continues our two-week series Rearranged with a message on generosity shaped by Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6. He talks about how money can easily become a competing master in our lives, why generosity is not about the amount we have but about what we do with what we have, and how giving frees our hearts from the grip of scarcity and fear. Pastor Phil also teaches that real generosity is shaped by three things Jesus lays out: it isn’t about being seen, it isn’t a one-tim... | 32m 01s | ||||||
