Fathers are key players to creating this kind of family environment and this Sunday we will explore some practical ways to reflect the character of God in our homes. Brian Rykaczewski, Director Of Children's Ministries, presents the message "Fathers In An Alien World." http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/fathers-in-an-alien-world http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/06-21-09hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:08:25 CDT Brian "Richards" Rykaczewski TWISTED fathers_in_an_alien_world 26:18 Somewhere along the way, most of us become convinced that if we disagree with a rule or regulation then we're free to disobey it. We live life with the general notion that we should be able to do what we want, when we want, with no one to answer to. However, as we'll discover, when you choose to disregard authority, there is more at stake than is readily evident.

In this message, we continue our journey as we look at several parables that directly impact our focus moving forward. The three parables are: The Parable of the Lost Sheep; The Parable of the Lost Coin, and The Parable of the Prodigal Son. (Luke Chapter 15) http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/whats-really-important http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/05-24-09hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 24 May 2009 22:18:34 CDT Dave Adams CLARITY clarity_sunday,parable_of_the_lost_sheep,parable_of_the_lost_coin,prodigal_son 40:35 Simple, Part Three - Obey The church often mistakes Christian obedience as the first step in the Christian life. As a result, for many people the Christian faith becomes a rule-based religion. Instead, the Scriptures reveal that Jesus' initial invitation is to follow him. He invites us to follow him until we begin believing that he is indeed who he says he is. This belief that God loves us and has the best in store for us, then, becomes the reason we obey. Matt. 7:24-28 http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/part-3-obey http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/05-03-09hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 03 May 2009 15:09:57 CDT Dave Adams Simple simple,obey,dave_adams 35:08 Simple, Part Two - Believe Jesus' initial invitation to his disciples was a simple one: Follow me. He invited them to watch and listen to his interactions with his heavenly Father and with others. In time, however, those who followed Jesus began to discover God's character through Jesus Christ. In that discovery they found themselves drawn to take a second simple step: Believe. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/part-2-believe http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/04-26-09hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 13:09:52 CDT Brian "Richards" Rykaczewski Simple simple,believe,brian 26:04 Simple, Part One - Follow There is a common misconception that the church is a gathering place for saintly, perfect people. Moreover, some think that being a Christian means observing a set of rules or commandments. The reality is that the Christian life is about a relationship with Jesus Christ. At the heart of that relationship is an invitation that Jesus extends to people from all experiences of life: "Follow me." Matthew 9:9-13 http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/part-1-follow http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/04-19-09hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 20:15:23 CDT Chris Yaunches Simple simple,follow 35:25 GOOD FRIDAY is one of the most paradoxical holidays on the Christian calendar. But the Bible is full of sharp contrasts that help us to understand the depth of God's love and the extent to which He saved us. Good Friday was, by all earthly standards, a horrible day. . . for Jesus, his followers, and his mother, especially. But what we see and hear from the dying lips of Jesus is nothing short of wonderful, as he makes arrangements for his mother, Mary, to become part of the family of John, the disciple whom Jesus loved. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/good-friday-paradox-in-compassion http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/04-10-09hcc-message.mp3 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:14:55 CDT Dave Adams Easter Weekend good_friday 29:20 In our final segment of this series, Dave Adams will challenge us to adopt one of the most important principles of fishing. And yet for most Christians and churches, it is not always the most obvious. The challenge for us as a church is to discover where to cast our nets. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/fishin-where-the-fishin-is-good http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/04-05-09hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 21:42:05 CDT Dave Adams Casting Nets casting_nets,fishin'_where_the_fishin'_is_good 31:18 Casting nets is not the same as casting a line. The relationship between building the church and being a fisher of men was not intended as a solo venture. Partnering with the Holy Spirit, we learn what’s essential to sharing the Gospel.

Salvation is found in no one else but the name of Jesus. As followers of Christ, we have to fish, because the message of salvation is not intuitive; it must be shared.

This question may be central to overcoming worry in your life today as well. 1 Kings 19:1-18 http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/now-and-then http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/03-08-09hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 14:34:57 CDT Dave Adams Why Worry 40:24 Where does worry come from?

Most of us are familiar with the "love chapter" in the Bible. We've heard it over and over at weddings. But how many of us can live up to its great ideals? Not only does 1 Corinthians 13 teach us what love is; it also teaches us what love is not. And sometimes knowing how we ought to love is not the same as actually doing it; the truth is, sometimes love hurts. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/love-hurts http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/02-15-09hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 22:04:16 CST Dave Adams The message of Love Hurts focuses on one of the greatest misunderstandings of our day.

One of the primary ways God grows our faith is through personal ministry. In this lesson by Dave Adams, we will explore the relationship between our faith and our service to others.

The same is true of your faith story.

From personal experience, the miracle of even just a natural human birth is contrasted against the miracle of Jesus' birth which was predicted hundreds (even thousands) of years before His birth. Using just a small sampling of prophecies surrounding Jesus' birth, the probability of all the prophecies coming true in the person of Jesus is amazing. It just goes to show that Jesus is who the prophecies predicted and who He said He was. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/harmony-of-jesus-birth http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/12-24-08xmaseve-message.mp3 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 21:36:15 CST Dave Adams Christmas prophecies,jesus'_birth 20:33 At this time of year, the tradition of Christmas lights, candlelighting, and the Jewish holiday of Hannukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is observed. Light illuminates and reveals. Light also attracts. And according to the New Testament, when Jesus was born and lived on this earth, He was the Light of the world.

Prophecy. Biography. War. Sex. Betrayal. The Bible includes all the ingredients of great literature. But this isn’t a simple book—it’s a collection of ancient documents that tell the story of a loving Father who seeks to redeem his children. It’s a story we are still part of today. And whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, you’ll find that the influence and relevance of this incredible compilation of writings seems 2G2BT (too good to be true). http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/2g2bt http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/12-07-08hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 07 Dec 2008 17:14:16 CST Brian "Richards" Rykaczewski Text: 33:42 Text: Part One - “Ding” In a meeting.

The result of this is that your spouse feels like they never measure up. The solution is adding a third person to your marriage. That person is the Lord Jesus.

Sometimes, we block the pathway to faith in Christ with all types of questions and doubts. But most people don't become Christians because their questions were answered.

Paul asks and urges the new believers at Thesalonica to live as set apart ones by continuing in the teaching of Paul in the Lord Jesus, and abstain from sexual promiscuity. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/1-hopealonians-pt-5--learning-to-please-god http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/03-02-08hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:36:08 CST Dave Adams 1 Thessalonians sanctification,holiness 36:15 Paul has written a letter to the young believers at Thessalonica sharing how much he longed to be with them. But when circumstances prevented that from happening, he sent Timothy to check on their progress in the Lord. Upon Timothy's return, he only had a positive and encouraging report to bring back to Paul and Silas. Sometimes, there's no substitute for having face-to-face contact with the people you love. But through a commitment to keeping in communication and through prayer, we can bring those far away close as we grow in the Lord. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/1-hopealonians-pt-4 http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/02-24-08hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 21:44:52 CST Dave Adams 1 Thessalonians 1_thessalonians,1_hopealonians 35:58 1 Hopealonians Pt. 3 SelfISHness leads no one, but selfLESSness leads anyone. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/1-hopealonians-pt-3 http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/02-17-08hccmessage.mp3 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 10:36:37 CST Chris Yaunches 1 Thessalonians 1_thessalonians,1_hopealonians,selfishness,selflessness,leadership 29:04 How would you like a letter to read if Paul were writing to your church today? http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/1-hopealonians http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/02-03-08hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:36:44 CST Dave Adams 1 Thessalonians hope,1_thessalonians 34:08 In light of what I know, how should I then live? http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/how-should-i-live http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/01-27-08hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 09:57:08 CST Dave Adams Looking forward to 2008 . . . how_should_i_live,practical_theology 34:28 Paul presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the fact of his resurrection "of first importance". http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/i-see-i-hear-i-believe http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/01-20-08-hcc-message.mp3 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 15:26:37 CST Dave Adams Looking forward to 2008 . . . resurrection,first_importance,gospel 38:49 Change involves pain. Sometimes what starts out as planned, takes some unexpected challenges. The people that the writer to the Hebrews is writing have been having second thoughts about this new "religion" that is causing pain, persecution, and alienation from their very way of life. But the writer encourages these Jewish followers of Jesus Christ to "hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

But saving faith, or craving faith, according to the Bible is contrary to the world's definition of faith. While the world puts faith in the same category of sincerity, passion and "religious" upbringing, the Bible puts it simply as receiving a gift. It is not as a result of working towards being "worthy" or "sincere", but simply in resting in the finished work and person of Jesus Christ. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/craving-faith-introduction http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/10-14-07cf-intro.mp3 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 15:59:27 CDT Dave Adams Craving Faith salvation,faith,grace 18:56 When the Israelites crossed the Jordan into the promised land, a memorial of twelve stones was setup to remind the people of God's faithfulness and promise to deliver them and give them a land flowing with milk and honey. http://www.hope-ccm.org/sermon/week-4-twelve-stones http://www.hope-ccm.org/mediafiles/09-30-07cyaunches.mp3 Sun, 30 Sep 2007 05:09:27 CDT Chris Yaunches SIGNS OF HOPE caleb,joshua,twelve_stones 30:17
