You may feel hidden, but you are not forgotten. In Week 2 of On Purpose, Pastor Daniel walks through a powerful story of how Jesus sees, pursues, and restores even the most overlooked people. If you’ve ever questioned your worth or felt like you’ve drifted too far, this message will show you just how far He’s willing to go to reach you.

You weren’t found by God by accident. Your life has purpose. In Week 1 of "On Purpose," we’re reminded that when Jesus found us, it wasn’t just for us. It was so He could work through us. Found people find people. If you’ve ever felt unqualified or unsure where to start, this message will challenge you to stop hiding your faith and start living it out right where you are.

What looked like the end was actually the turning point. In this Easter message from Pastor Daniel, we’re reminded the cross wasn’t defeat, it was victory. The tomb wasn’t the end. Jesus rose, and because He lives, everything changes. This isn’t just an Easter moment. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to you, bringing freedom and new life. If this impacted you, share it with someone who needs hope.

Everyone loves Palm Sunday… but most people miss the point. Jesus was celebrated one day, then rejected days later. Why? Because He didn’t show up the way people expected. In this message, Pastor Jackie walks through how hope was revealed, how everything Jesus did was intentional, and why this moment demands a response from us today. Don’t just celebrate. Wake up.

What do you do when you know what God is asking, but you don’t want to do it? In the final week of Built Different, we dive into the story of Jonah and uncover a truth we’ve all felt: the hardest part of following God isn’t hearing His voice, it’s obeying when we do. If you’ve ever delayed, avoided, or wrestled with what God is calling you into, this message is for you. Because running from God never brings peace… but surrender always leads to purpose. Your “yes” might be the breakthrough someone else is waiting on.

What do you do when life gets hard and breakthrough feels far away? In week three of Built Different, Pastor Kevin reminded us that trouble is inevitable, but breakthrough is possible when God is at the center of it all. This message will encourage you to keep praising in the middle of the pressure, trust God in the struggle, and remember that you were built for breakthrough.

Your life will follow your heart, so what’s shaping it right now? In week two of Built Different, Pastor Daniel reminded us that God cares deeply about the condition of our hearts. This message will encourage you to let go of bitterness, guard your heart, walk in compassion, and trust God with every part of your life.

In week one of Built Different, Pastor Daniel shared from Ephesians 2:10 with a foundational reminder: you are God’s workmanship, created in Christ with purpose. But before we see results, we need roots. This message is a call to stop drifting and start getting planted, because deep roots produce healthy fruit. If you’ve felt spiritually uprooted, stuck, or inconsistent, this word will help you strengthen your foundation and grow through every season.

In the final week of Chain Reaction, Pastor Daniel preaches from 2 Timothy 1:5–7 with a clear call: keep the fire burning. God ignites the fire, but we’re responsible to tend the flame, reject fear, and let praise fuel our faith. If you’ve felt distracted or spiritually tired, this message will reignite your hunger for God.

What happens when you’re standing at the edge… and God asks you to step anyway? In week three of Chain Reaction, Pastor Daniel preaches from Joshua 3 on the edge, the step, and the miracle. Breakthrough often follows obedience, not comfort. If you’ve been waiting on clarity or the “right time,” this message will remind you: God may already be working upstream, and your miracle is on the other side of your step. This is for anyone believing for healing, provision, restoration, or a fresh start.

What happens when faith becomes more than a moment? In this powerful message, Pastor Brandon Barber unpacks how one obedient step can create a chain reaction of blessing—for your life, your family, and generations to come. This sermon will challenge you to evaluate what you’re building and why staying committed, even when it’s hard, is always worth it.

Following Jesus costs something... but it leads to fruit. We’re kicking off our new Chain Reaction series with a message from Pastor Shaun Nepstad challenging us to stop hitting the spiritual snooze button. This sermon confronts half-hearted faith and delayed obedience, calling us to keep our focus and put our hand to the plow. If you’ve been distracted or tempted to look back, this message is for you.

We're celebrating 11 years of Hope City, and we’re giving God all the glory for every miracle along the way. This is a celebration of God's faithfulness and hope for what’s next. This message is for anyone who needs a reminder: God is able. God is faithful. And God isn’t finished with you.

You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten. You’re being prepared. In this message, Pastor Jackie reminds us how God’s fresh fire refines, protects, and strengthens us, even when life feels uncomfortable. If you’ve been feeling stretched, discouraged, or unsure of what this year holds… this sermon is for you.

When fear rises, where do you lean? In this message from week two of Fresh Fire, Pastor Daniel shows how leaning in means trusting God when answers don’t come quickly. If you’re in a waiting season, this word is for you.
