Ray Of Hope Church

"Be The Change" is the first part of our 2020 new year series, and it sets the vision and gives inspiration for the upcoming year. We are inspired to be willing to make the changes necessary in our lives to move forward into what God has for us, set clear & realistic goals, and make an ongoing commitment to say no to an average lifestyle. We are also given hope knowing God is with us and we are not alone, and change begins when we say about ourselves what God says about us. 

In this message taught from John 8's story of the woman caught in adultery, we get a great message about the need to not charge & accuse others, but to begin charging & building ourselves. We learn the importance of being present in the power of God, accepting the power of process, and turning the 'stones' thrown at us into building blocks.

In part 3, the "Family Matters" series closes by shifting from marriage to parenting & honoring our parents! We learn what is necessary for proper parenting, and what is necessary for children and teenagers to properly follow their parents according to God's Word. 

Family Matters part 2 continues discussion over the very important topic of marriage! This week's message defines for us the needs of the wife from the husband. We also learn that Jesus fills the spiritual void no relationship or anything else can fill. 

Family Matters part 1 discusses the very important topic of marriage! The Bible and history of mankind opens with a marriage of man & woman, and the quality of that relationship affects many aspects of our lives every single day. With this message, we get biblical teaching on the priority and order of marriage, and also the needs of the husband in the marriage relationship. 

The Spiritual Realm part 3 gives us biblical knowledge and insight about Satan and his forces so that we can be prepared, informed, and continue to triumph over them in the victory Jesus has given us!

In this message, Pastor Mike continues 'The Spiritual Realm' by giving us biblical references about the importance of angels and their specific roles they serve in the Kingdom of God. We are given encouragement by learning that God uses the angels to aid us as believers in multiple ways.

In this message, Pastor Mike discusses the idea that many people today have an affinity toward the supernatural, but many don't have biblical knowledge regarding the real spiritual realm of  Heaven, angels, and demons. In part 1 we are given biblical truth regarding the existence of a real spiritual realm we cannot see, and encouragement that God is working for us in that realm. 

In Part 6, Pastor Mike addresses 'the elephant in the room' of our personal 'untapped potential'. We all have God-given potential to do great things for His kingdom, but many of us never reach our full potential. Part 6 gives us great biblical examples and encouragement to reach the level God designed us to reach!

Part 5 covers the 'elephant in the room' of 'the supernatural'. We know God is a supernatural God, and we know that scripture says God gives His people supernatural power by the Holy Spirit. Part 5 gives us clarity, busts some myths regarding Christianity and the supernatural, and lays out scriptural truth regarding the supernatural and God's people. 

Part 4 gives us biblical perspective on the 'elephant of activities'! We have a culture of multiple activities that attempt to command control of our time. Part 4 also debunks some myths about activities, and teaches us we must embrace Christ above all. 

Part 3 discusses the "elephant in the room" that is prevalent in our world today, which is the question "Is the Bible true, and can I trust it?". We learn that God's Word is backed up by prophecy, archeological discovery, and scientific discovery. 

Part 2 discusses the 'elephant in the room' of money! This message gives us great biblical perspective on how we as Christians should deal with our finances and giving.  

Part 1 discusses the 'elephant in the room' of not giving up or abandoning our hopes and dreams!
