Does following Jesus ever feel like you’re not doing enough?In this message from Colossians 2:16–23, Pastor Dan explores the pressure to prove ourselves through religious rules, spiritual experiences, and self-denial. We pray you find and live in the freedom we have in Jesus.

What do you do when following Jesus gets hard, growth feels slow, or other voices start pulling your attention away?In this message from Colossians 1:24–2:8, we see that Christ lives in us, is forming us, and wants to work through us. Paul’s challenge is simple: you started with Jesus - don’t stop now.Keep going. Keep growing. Keep your roots deep in Christ.

What happens when Jesus is not just important in your life, but actually at the center of it?In week one of our Colossians series, Pastor Dan looks at Colossians 1 and the supremacy of Jesus. Jesus made it all, Jesus holds it all together, and Jesus is over it all. When we see Jesus clearly, it changes how we see ourselves, what we trust, and how we order our lives.If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like “Why am I here?”, “Do I matter?”, or “How do I hold all of this together?”, this message is for you.

Following Jesus is more than making a one-time decision. It is a whole-life of surrender, staying close to Jesus, and becoming more like Him. Following Jesus is where we find true life.Hope Culture Church exists to help people find hope and take their next step in following Jesus.

What do you do when what God said doesn’t match what you see?As Hope Culture Church celebrates 7 years, Pastor Dan shares a message from Romans 4 about Abraham, faith, and holding onto hope when the facts, failures, and feelings seem stacked against you.Biblical hope isn’t pretending everything is okay, it’s choosing to put more weight on who God is than on what we can see. And ultimately, our hope isn’t found in positive thinking, better circumstances, or our own effort. Our hope is found in Jesus.Get your hopes up! Not because everything will happen the way you want, but because Jesus is alive, God is faithful, and our future is secure in Him.

In the final week of FOOLPROOF, Pastors Dan and Abigail co-teach on what Proverbs has to say about building healthy, wise relationships.From the way we communicate and to the people we allow to influence our lives, God’s wisdom can transform the way we relate to one another. Discover practical biblical wisdom that can help you build stronger friendships, marriages, families, and relationships.

What does wisdom look like when it comes to money? In this message from FOOLPROOF, Pastor Dan looks at what Proverbs teaches about handling what we have well and making sure money stays a tool, not a master.

We all face moments when we don't know what to do next. Should I stay or go? Say yes or no? Wait or move forward? How do we make decisions we won't regret?In this message, Pastor Abigail explores how to seek God's direction, think through the consequences of our decisions, and honestly examine what's happening in our own hearts. Because wisdom isn't always about knowing exactly what lies ahead, it's about learning to trust the One who does.

What do you do when your feelings are pushing you to act, but wisdom says something different?In this message from our FOOLPROOF: Wisdom for Today series, we look at how to navigate emotions without ignoring them or letting them take control. Discover how to recognize what your emotions are signaling, slow down before reacting, and let the Holy Spirit lead your response.Strong feelings don’t have to lead to foolish decisions.

What if God has already given you help for the decisions, relationships, pressures, and questions you’re facing right now?In week one of FOOLPROOF: Wisdom for Today, Pastor Dan explores what biblical wisdom really is, why it matters, and how it can help us avoid unnecessary pain and live life well in God’s world.You don’t have to have everything figured out. You just need to know where to find wisdom.

What happens when we forget who God is?It’s easy to get distracted, overwhelmed, or discouraged and lose sight of God’s goodness, faithfulness, and presence. And when we forget who God is, we can begin to forget who we are too.In this message from Nick Benoit, we look at how Scripture calls us to remember. We remeber through the stories of what God has done, the practices Jesus gave us, and the help of the Holy Spirit. You’ll discover practical ways to build reminders of God’s faithfulness into your everyday life and find your way back when you’ve lost the plot.God hasn’t forgotten you. He’s still good. He’s still here. And He’s inviting you to remember.

What do you do when you believe God is leading, but you cannot see the whole path?In this final message of our Acts series, Pastor Dan looks at Paul’s journey through uncertainty, resistance, hardship, and shipwreck. We learn that following God does not always mean having all the details; but it does mean trusting His leading, taking the next obedient step, and holding on to His promise.The book of Acts may be finished, but the mission of Jesus continues through us.

The early followers of Jesus were accused of “turning the world upside down.” In this message from Acts 17, Pastor Dan shows how Paul shared the same unchanging gospel with different people in different ways and how we can do the same.Learn how to start spiritual conversations, find common ground, clearly point people to Jesus, and trust God with the results. We’ll also begin an eight-week challenge to Intercede, Invest, and Invite as we believe for people in our lives to find hope and take their next step in following Jesus.

Acts 12 covers the incredible story where: Peter is imprisoned, the church prays earnestly, and God miraculously sets him free. But right beside Peter’s rescue is James’ martyrdom. A reminder that faith isn’t about finding a formula for getting everything we want.In this message, Pastor Dan explores what it means to trust God when life doesn’t make sense, why earnest prayer still matters, and how God sees, hears, and acts on behalf of His people. Don’t let past disappointment keep you from bringing your biggest prayers to God.

Does God have favorites?In Acts 10–11, the story of Peter and Cornelius reminds us that the gospel is for everyone. Jesus came for the whole world, and God invites all people to receive forgiveness, new life, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
