Purpose Hsm Podcast

Tonight we got the chance to hear from an inspiring panel of students and leaders who are deeply passionate about being in community and sharing the gospel with others!

One of the dominant struggles of our world and nation is political division. Schools, teams, friends, and families are sometimes ripped apart over differing political opinions. We see it online and even in personal experience. Thankfully, Jesus is no stranger to struggles like these, and He models how to prioritize relationships and love others even […]

God designed Scripture to bring life to us and our faith. Therefore, there are many reasons for Christians to read, know, and obey the Bible. It’s worth investing our entire lives in! Knowing Scripture can help you guard your heart, find purpose, and know Truth about who God is and who you are. If you […]

Tonight, in a world full of skepticism and shifting truth, we explored why the Bible is both historically reliable and spiritually transformative. From real historical rulers mentioned in Luke 3:1 to non-Christian historians who confirmed Jesus’ crucifixion, the Bible stands on solid evidence. We also saw how manuscripts like the Septuagint and the Dead Sea […]

The Bible is an essential part of the Christian life. But if we’re honest, the Bible can be old, confusing, and difficult to prioritize as a busy high school student. Yet God’s Word is our nourishment, guide, and an important way to connect with God. The more we interact with God’s Word, the more we […]

God loves families. He purposely placed us in earthly families, and designed us for His heavenly one forever. But, in our sinful and broken world, it is sometimes our own family members, who we love so much, who have the greatest capacity to hurt us. Every family has struggles and must learn to navigate fights […]

Loving your family can be pretty difficult at times but with the right heart posture and the Lord’s guidance we can gain wisdom and understanding on how to do so God’s way! We learned from today’s sermon through surrendering our full hearts to Jesus we can be peacemakers and set apart within our families. We […]

Relationships of all kinds are essential to our walk with Christ, and the basis of those relationships should be and are friendships! It’s the most basic form of love and relationship that Jesus calls us into, not just with Him, but with fellow Christ followers too! And in order to have deep friendships, it requires […]

The world has a lot to say about how we should approach dating, but a lot of it is focused on our own benefit and finding our worth in someone else. But the thing is, our true worth is in Jesus! While the Bible doesn’t talk about dating, it does talk about singleness, marriage, and […]

Tonight we hear a testimony from Austin Rivera, a young adult here at Purpose Church, as he shares his story of anxiety and depression and how God found him and showed him love and grace in the midst of these hard mental health struggles. We then get to hear from an incredible panel of HSM […]

As we wrap up our New Year, New Me series, we’ve learned that the best goals in life are the ones that keep us close to Christ. As we connect with Him, He transforms our hearts and minds to look like His and gives us a purpose to faithfully serve Him. Philippians 4 concludes with […]

Scripture has a lot to say about humility and complaining. Humility is lacking pride or arrogance. Complaining is the expression of dissatisfaction or annoyance about something. Is there a way to express annoyance in a way that honors God? Is venting okay to do as Christians? Venting can be okay for Christians, but it depends […]

We all have goals, but we also all have mistakes we wish we didn’t make. The beginning of the year is a good time to reflect on each of these in pursuit of our resolutions, but what does it look like for us to make resolutions with God at the front of our minds? When […]

We pick up the Christmas Story with Joseph’s perspective on Mary conceiving a child before they are married. Since Joseph does not know yet that this is the Holy Spirit’s plan for Jesus to be born, the future he expected is totally shattered. However, Joseph remains honorable in this tough situation and trusts the Lord […]

In Luke 1:26–38, Mary faces overwhelming fear—an unexpected pregnancy, possible rejection from Joseph and her community, and the weight of being chosen to carry God’s Son. Yet God meets her fear with His presence, grace, and power: “The Lord is with you… Do not be afraid… Nothing is impossible with God.” Mary doesn’t have all […]

For the last 3 weeks, we have discussed that surrendering our lives to Jesus involves the recognition that everything we have is not ours, but rather a gift from God. This includes our talents, time, and treasures. Jesus spoke much about money and possessions, and His teachings warn us against the selfishness and greed that […]

When we surrender our lives to Jesus, we discover that everything we think is ours really is not. Everything is a gift from God, including our time, which means we have the opportunity to give it away to glorify God and serve others. To use our time well means to dedicate time to God, and […]

Jesus made some pretty shocking statements during His life and ministry, including this: people who want to find true life must first lose their life. In other words, gaining the world is meaningless if you lose your soul too – and your soul is found when you surrender your whole life to Jesus. One way […]

This life is a gift from God. Our life is short compared to eternity. How you live your life on earth determines where you go for eternity. God doesn’t force a relationship with you. If someone doesn’t want a relationship with God on earth, God won’t force them to spend eternity with Him. People who […]

Pride often shows up in our lives in two powerful ways: favoritism and negative words. As we enter chapters 2 and 3 of James in our series “A Faith That Works,” we are exploring why these habits harm our relationships and how Jesus teaches us practical ways to fight against our pride with love and […]
