Hope Missionary Church Hope Missionary Church

Teams and businesses often use mantras to inspire, to remind, and to define what their mission is.  Likewise, every church has statements or phrases that help define core values, vision, and mission. Hope Church is no different.  Jesus had a clear mission for his disciples, and for His church.  The question is, our we on His mission?  Through this series, we are going to use memorable statements to remind us to keep our eyes focused on the true priorities of Jesus and His church.
In the same way that Jesus served as an ambassador to the greatness and goodness of God, we want to fulfill that role for our world as well. It’s our privilege to be a missionary for Jesus, whether we have to cross an ocean or an alley to tell someone of His love and forgiveness.

In today's message, we'll  learn that, when we receive the Holy Spirit, we are given the responsibility of denying ourselves as His presence moves us to live boldly.

In today's message, we'll discuss the fact that the New Testament church was completely dependent upon the power of the Holy Spirit. It wasn’t about the show. It wasn’t about the performance. It was the power of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we are so concerned about the what instead of the how. When we daily invite the Spirits presence into our lives, we experience true transformation.

In today's message, we'll explore the promise of the Holy Spirit. The promise of the Holy Spirit is a promise of true life. He is our promised Advocate, filling our lives permanently with His presence and unleashing us to live out of the promises of God.  He renews us, gifts us and empowers us.

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, we see the person of the Holy Spirit being present on and in people to fulfill Gods plan for humanity. The Spirit plays a distinct role in the Trinity that cannot be ignored.
