Hope City Church - Birmingham

Do you feel like you've been losing your breath? Maybe there are areas in your life that have dried up, and the question is: can those dry bones live? God wants us to get our rhythm back. Inhale the breath of heaven. Breathe again.

The journey is worth it. Don't get frustrated by the traffic on the way to your destination. Don't give up on the journey. Remain steadfast, even when things look bleak - you'll be glad that you did.

When you try to step out in faith and do something great there is always opposition. The enemy doesn't target the lukewarm of faith, but those who burn passionately for God. Listen in as Pastor Tebo addresses how we can deal with spiritual opposition.

We can approach our lives thinking that there is a distribution problem in heaven - we see others being blessed with gifts, whilst we are seemingly forgotten. The grass always looks greener on the other side. Perhaps heaven doesn't have a distribution dilemma, so much as we have a recognition dilemma. Pastor Gosia encourages us to shift our perception to see heaven's blessing as doors of opportunity rather than neatly packaged gifts.

Every pioneer has to wrestle with idealism. The world isn't as perfect as we imagine - there will always be bumps on the road, especially in this Christian life. God is looking for pioneers who won't be dissuaded when things don't go to plan.

When God wants something to happen He will always raise up a pioneer. Are you willing to be the one to break the ground? Are you willing to be the trailblazer who opens up our city to the Gospel?

Thank you. These two small words can have the biggest impact in your life. We are called to enter into God's gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. What can thanksgiving unlock in your life?

Empathy enables us to understand a person's feelings in a given situation by putting us in their shoes. It's an amazing trait to have, but don't become so empathetic that you're weighed down by the heaviness of their situation, and are unable to act compassionately towards them. Pastor Becky encourages us to stop allowing empathy to restrict us, so we can move in to compassion.

People problems. Most of the drama we face comes from tensions between ourselves and others. How can we change this in 2019? Pastor Tebo gives four keys that can help you live a tension-free life so that you can crack on with purpose.

God is not intimidated by your drama. He brings brilliance out of what was intended to harm you. He turns your drama in to destiny. Pastor Tebo shows us how to respond to drama in 2019.
