If you change the lens on a camera, the moment stays the same — but your experience of it changes. So it is with Christian views of the millennium. Revelation 20 shows us Christ’s victory and reign, but believers through history have “looked through different lenses.” This sermon surveys the three major millennial views — premillennialism (historic and dispensational), postmillennialism, and amillennialism — and explains why our church teaches from an “already / not yet” approach that gently leans amillennial. The aim is not to settle every diagram but to strengthen hope in Christ’s future return, the resurrection, final judgment, and the renewal of all things.

What do Christians really believe about the end times? Why do faithful believers sometimes come to different conclusions about what the book of Revelation means—and what does that tell us about God’s plan? This week at Hudson’s Hope Chapel, we explores the four major ways Christians have interpreted the end times throughout history: • Preterist: “It’s already happened.” • Historicist: “It’s unfolding through history.” • Futurist: “It’s still to come.” • Idealist: “It’s always true.” Rather than choosing sides, we’ll discover how each perspective highlights part of the same story — that God is in control, Christ will return, and all things will be made new. “Behold, I am making all things new.” — Revelation 21:5

Have you ever found yourself getting deeply invested in a TV show—only to discover it was cancelled before the writers could finish the story? You’re left hanging… waiting for resolution that never comes. Life can feel like that sometimes too. It's easy to feel like we live in a world going nowhere--chapters that seem cut short, loose ends unresolve, and moments that feel like they belong in a story without an ending. But the Bible reminds us that our story hasn’t been cancelled—it’s just not finished yet. Christian eschatology—the study of the end of all things—isn’t about fear or prediction; it’s about hope. It’s the assurance that God’s story is moving toward a purposeful, glorious conclusion. He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion. (Philippians 1:6) History isn’t spiralling out of control—it’s being drawn toward redemption, restoration, and renewal under the loving hand of its Author.

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!
