Thanks For Listening! Listen in as Senior Pastor, David Dwight discusses the "Blessed" sermon series recap with JG Carter. Connect with us at: https://linktr.ee/hopechurchrva

My Beloved | Blessed | Part 5 In Mark 1:9–11, we see Jesus baptized by John — stepping fully into the Father’s will and receiving the Spirit. And in that moment, the Father’s voice declares over Him, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” So often, we’re tempted to anchor our identity in negativity, in our failures, or in what others say about us. But as believers, our identity is secured in Jesus Christ — the suffering servant who made a way for us to be reconciled to God. Because of Him, we are called “beloved.” This is why we can say we are blessed: not because life is easy or circumstances are perfect, but because we are deeply and irrevocably loved by God. Let’s walk in that truth.

Two Way Blessing | Blessed | Part 4 We continued our series, Blessed, diving into Psalm 103. The psalmist David details how we can posture our hearts to recognize and receive benefits of blessing — God Himself. We invite you to meditate on Psalm 103 this week! Circle the “alls” throughout the passage and note the characteristics of God, then coach your soul to praise the Lord’s holy name.

The Blessed Life | Blessed | Part 3 Jesus — the Creator and the Definer of reality introduces us to the upside down kingdom of the Father in His sermon on the mount in Matthew 5:3-10What culture could call incredulous, Jesus calls true: “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.”

Spiritual Blessings | Blessed | Part 2 This morning we continued our series, Blessed, with a powerful message from Senior Pastor David Dwight. The ultimate blessing is not the granting of what we asked of God, but the intimacy with Him that grew in the years we prayed for that miracle, longed for that financial stability, ached for the restoration of those relationships, or cried for the healing of mental and physical illnesses. Whatever draws us closer to God is, in the truest sense, a blessing. He is our prize. As followers of Jesus, we live by a gospel-shaped value system — not the world’s. What culture might see only as hardship, we see as an invitation to experience the richness of God’s kindness and grace more fully. At the core of every longing is a deeper desire for God Himself, even when we don’t realize it. And it’s in the struggles and in the waiting that He grows our relationship with Him, knowing that the joy to come will be magnified beyond what we could ever hope for or imagine.

Before and After | All in All | Part 4 If we truly believe that we have been raised with Christ, we are to look higher to live deeper. This week, we invite you to mediate on Colossians 3:1-14: “Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory. So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.

What a gift to gather, be renewed in God’s Word, and remember where our souls find their home – Jesus, our all in all.

Gospel Life | All in All | Part 1 This morning we kicked off a new series, All in All, walking through Paul's letter to the church in Colosse. Senior Pastor David Dwight posed a powerful question: Where is your soul's address? Where is your soul living? Paul urges the church to lift their vision upward and outward, reminding them that they are part of something far greater - the Gospel. He was writing to believers who longed to live intentionally for Christ. In the same way, we are invited to anchor our souls in Jesus - growing in faith, hope, and love as we worship, study God's Word, devote ourselves to prayer, and gather with one another to be strengthened and encouraged.

Run with Vision | The Long Game | Part 4 We continued our series, The Long Game, with a message from Executive Pastor Wes Peterson on 2 Timothy 4:5-8. If you missed it, we encourage you to listen to the important words Paul shared with Timothy in his last days. “But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.”

The Savior | Isaiah’s Voice | Part 12 This morning, we wrapped up our summer sermon series, Isaiah’s Voice, with a message from Senior Pastor David Dwight. When we know His glory, we know peace, because we were made by Him and for Him. “They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord, for the display of His splendor.” Isaiah 61:3
