What do you do when a season of life comes to an unexpected or painful end? When plans fall apart and you’re left asking "what's next?", it’s easy to feel empty or stranded. In Part 2 of our series, "This Wasn't The Plan," guest speaker Spencer Palmer walks us through the Book of Ruth to show us how God works even when our expectations don't line up with reality. Seasons don’t last forever, but God remains faithful in every single one. Key Takeaways from the Message: Be Honest Biblical faith isn't denying your grief or pain; it’s bringing your true heart into the presence of God. You may feel empty, but that doesn't mean God is absent. Don’t Take The Name It’s okay to not be okay, but it’s not okay to stay there. Don't allow your wounds to become your new identity when you can be healed by His wounds. Take the Next Step Clarity comes through simple obedience. Sometimes, taking one small step of faithfulness is the most spiritual thing you can do. REACH | CONNECT REPEAT Connect with us!

Are we relying on our own talents, plans, and ambitions, or are we surrendering every area of our lives to the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit? Scripture reminds us in Psalm 127:1 that "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain." Every dream, plan, and commitment must first be submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ—because when we commit our work to Him, He establishes our path.

Join us as we explore what it truly means to move beyond relying on our own abilities and step into the power of God's presence.

Key Takeaways:

*Your Personality is not enough

*Your Potential is not enough

*Your Plan is not enough

Your work, combined with the Presence of God, *IS enough

Welcome to HopeTown Church! In this installment of our series, We Are The Church, Pastor Tim Ashley shares an inspiring message titled "Living a Life of Excellence."

In this message, Pastor Tim unpacks what it truly means to represent God through a standard of excellence, drawing heavily from the example of Daniel in Daniel 6: 3-14. Even in a hostile environment, Daniel distinguished himself through exceptional qualities, remaining trustworthy, uncorrupt, and faithful in his daily prayer life. Through Daniel's story and key scriptures, we learn what excellence is—and what it isn't. Excellence doesn't mean you have all the answers, all the resources, or that everyone will understand you. Instead, as Pastor Tim highlights, excellence makes things better, puts things in the right order, produces fertile ground for God to work in, and ultimately gives honor to God. Rather than having the best of everything, excellence is about doing the best with everything you have.

Welcome to the latest message in our series, "We Are The Church", titled "How To Follow Jesus" with Pastor Tim Ashley!

In this message, Pastor Tim breaks down what it truly means to follow Christ—surrendering our own ways, taking up our cross, and aligning our lives with God's kingdom. Through scriptures including Mark 8: 34-37, Matthew 6: 24, and Psalm 51, we explore how biblical repentance isn't just a one-time event for salvation, but a daily posture that keeps us walking closely with the King.

Key Scriptures & Topics Covered:

• Mark 8: 34-37 — Giving up your own way and taking up your cross
• Matthew 6: 24 — You cannot serve two masters
• Matthew 4: 17 & Luke 19: 10 — Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near
• Acts 3: 19-20 & Revelation 2: 4-5 — Repentance in Salvation & Sanctification
• Psalm 51: 1-19 — King David’s heart of repentance

Key Takeaway:

"Repentance isn't just what gets you into the Kingdom. Repentance is the posture that keeps you walking with the King."

In this message from our "We Are The Church" series, guest speaker Pastor Dan Livingston delivers an inspiring teaching titled "Can I Get A Witness?"

Drawing from Revelation 12: 10-12, 1 John 1: 1-3, and Matthew 5: 14-16, Pastor Dan challenges us to recognize the impact of our personal testimonies. Overcoming the enemy and pointing others to Jesus isn't about preaching complex sermons—it’s about simply telling your story.

Learn how to structure your 3-to-5-minute personal story to effectively share the gospel through genuine, everyday conversations:

• The Before: What your life was like before Christ

• The How: How you were introduced to Jesus

• The Now: How Jesus is actively changing your life today

Discover how to recognize divine appointments in your daily life, meet people where they are, and share the hope of Christ through relational evangelism.

Welcome to HopeTown Church! In part 4 of the We Are the Church message series, Pastor Tim Ashley focuses on a crucial question: How Does The Church Share The Message?

The Church is a community of Christ followers on a mission to express God’s heart, wisdom, hope, and healing to the world. The Great Commission isn't just for a select few—it is a universal responsibility and a collective effort. Today, we dive into what it means to be empowered by the Holy Spirit and how to practically share Jesus through verse-by-verse scripture, illustrations, and personal testimony.

Scriptures Referenced:

• Matthew 28: 18-20

• Matthew 9: 35-38

• Romans Road (Romans 3: 10-11, 3: 23, 6: 23, 5: 8, 10: 9-10, 10: 13)

• Isaiah 59: 2

• 1 Peter 3: 18

• John 3: 16-18

• Acts 17: 28-30

• Acts 1: 6-8

Key Takeaways:

1. The mission is BIGGER than you think

2. The mission is CLOSER than you think

3. The mission is more EMPOWERED than you think

Who are you going to share Jesus with this week? Are you willing to get ready?
