Ray of Hope Church

In the final part of our Christmas series, Pastor Mike gives us insight on the story of the wise men, and how that story was a foreshadowing of who Jesus was, and what he would be for us in our lives!

In the second part of our Christmas series, Pastor Matt brings to live the 'unsanitary' aspects of the first Christmas, and how they apply to the story of Jesus!

The very first Christmas season, the time when Jesus was about to be born, was certainly unexpected! During the time of Jesus birth, it was a time of fear and a time of spiritual darkness. Although it was unexpected, it was announced both in scripture and to those who were present in the story. We must be sure that when Jesus comes again, though it will be unexpected just like the first time, that our hearts are ready.

In this message, Pastor Matt explains that we have an advocate in Jesus Christ. Through Christ we are also able to be a mentor to others, both those who already have come to faith in Jesus and those who are lost. 

In the final part of this series, Pastor Mike talks about the importance of being thankful and having gratitude. We also learn the negative side effects of complaining, and we are encouraged to focus not on the negative, but focus on the positive things God has done and will do!

In the final part of this series, Pastor Mike covers the very important topic of marriage. We learn we must be willing to meet each others needs and be servants in the relationship. 

Pastor Mike discusses and teaches on the topic of spiritual toughness during Sunday night's service.

In part 2 of this series, we look into thriving as a family. In order to do that, we must have prayer together, have prayer for our family, seek strength from God for our family, and be willing to identify who is a great help in the family. We know that we are better together than divided!

In the first part of this series about family and family relationships, Pastor Mike lays out that communication is key. Proverbs says life and death are in the power of the tongue, so what we say and how we say it matters immensely. Our words produce fruit, and we want to be sure we are sowing positivity and love.

For the final message in this series, Pastor Mike outlines how we have a real adversary, Satan, that is actively working against us attempting to destroy our faith and create problems in our everyday life. Christians must know that we will go through tough times. We cannot avoid them in this life, but we do have current & eternal hope in Jesus, and we do have the ability to overcome by faith and perseverance!
