When Jesus fed the five thousand, He didn’t wait until the miracle happened to give thanks — He thanked His Father first. This Thanksgiving, Pastor Luke shares how gratitude begins not after we see God’s provision, but before — in the moments of faith, trust, and surrender. Join us as we explore Matthew 14:13–21 and learn how true thanksgiving means blessing God before the breakthrough.

When life feels chaotic, it can seem like the pieces are falling apart — but God’s Word reminds us that the Master never loses control. In this message, we explore the doctrine of providence — the sovereign, purposeful, and loving rule of God over all things. Through Scripture and the story of The Immortal Game — a famous chess match where apparent defeat led to victory — we see how God reigns, works, and redeems, even when we cannot see His plan. Key Points: 1. God Reigns — His sovereign hand holds all things together. 2. God Works — He weaves every circumstance for His glory and our good. 3. God Redeems — He is restoring what sin and suffering have broken. Whether you’re in a season of confusion, waiting, or loss, this message will remind you that God’s plan is still unfolding — and what looks like defeat may, in the end, be the setup for eternal victory.

Flags are just pieces of cloth — but they stand for something far bigger. They represent identity, history, pride, and belonging. This week at Hudson’s Hope Chapel, we’re talking about two “flags” Jesus gave His church: baptism and communion. Baptism is the bold declaration that we belong to Jesus — that our old life is gone and we’ve been raised with Him to new life. Communion is the ongoing meal that nourishes us and reminds us of Christ’s sacrifice until He returns. Join us as we explore what these symbols mean, why Christians sometimes disagree about them, and why we practice them the way we do.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk remind us just how broken our world really is — and how real the battle between good and evil can be. In this message, we unpack Ephesians 6:10–12 to see that there is a war going on beyond what we can see with our eyes — a war between the kingdom of God and the powers of evil. We’ll explore: - The reality of the war we are in — and why we must not ignore or fear it - The three fronts of the battle: the flesh, the world, and the devil - The believer’s authority in Christ — how we can resist the enemy and stand firm - The hope of the gospel — Jesus has already won the decisive victory, and anyone who turns to Him can be forgiven, set free, and find peace in the storm This is a message for anyone feeling shaken by the world right now — take heart, Christ has overcome!

Why are you here? Not in the metaphorical, philosophical sense, but in a very literal sense. As Christians, we know our purpose, and our identity. But the when the rubber meets the road, the harder question can be fighting out what that looks like practically. Why are you sitting where you are, in the town where you live, watching this video? In this message from our Essential: What Christians Really Believe series, we explore the purpose of the Church through three powerful directions: Up, In, and Out. Upward, we glorify God together in worship and surrender. Inward, we build one another up in community and maturity. Outward, we are sent into the world to share the hope we’ve found in Jesus. This isn’t just theory — it’s a call to action. If the Church is a people with a purpose, then each one of us has a part to play. Join us as we rediscover why the Church matters, and how your presence here is part of God’s bigger plan.

What is the Church for? What are we for? In this week’s message, we explore the heart of God’s mission—and how the Church is called to be a part of it. From Genesis to Revelation, we see that God’s plan has always been global: to bring salvation and blessing to all nations through His people. In this sermon, we walk through five key truths: 1. A Sent People — God’s mission began long before us. 2. The Great Commission Still Stands — We are sent to make disciples. 3. Making Disciples, Not Just Converts — Faithful follow-up matters. 4. Every Member on Mission — All believers have a part to play. 5. Local and Global — From Hudson’s Hope to the ends of the earth.

The Bible encourages us to share our stories, but why? We think about the power of testimony and story in scripture.
