Jonathan Armstrong from Diss Baptist Church talks to us about Paul's third missionary journey when he stopped at Troas from Acts 20 verses 7 - 12.

• The ordinary takes place in a gathering of believers
• The ordinary uses means of grace - The Bible: read, sing, pray & preach

- Pray

-The Lord's Supper & Holy Communion

• The ordinary is often despised
• The ordinary is foundation for something extraordinary

Sam talks from 1 Corintians 1 verses 8 - 9:

• God’s Faithfulness Is Defined in His Character. Faithfulness is not just what God does; it’s who He is. God will never fail, never break trust, and never abandon us.
• God’s Faithfulness Depends on God. If God’s faithfulness flows from His very nature, then it isn’t dependent on us. God doesn’t operate in contracts; ones written with clauses. He operates in covenants; He totally gives Himself to us.
• God’s Faithfulness Is Demonstrated by Our Salvation. The greatest display of God’s faithfulness is seen at the cross. He has already fulfilled the most painful promise of all; to save you through the cross. The cross is God’s ultimate act of faithfulness.

Pastor Daniel from 24-7 Prayer Peru spoke to us (translation by Andy Taylor from 24-7 prayer Peru & Hope Church) from John 11, the story of Lazarus. A word God gave him in September 2025.

Pastor Daniel looks at how the two sisters, Mary and Martha responded to Jesus' arrival - Martha went to Jesus and Mary stayed at home.

We are encouraged when hard things happen to stay close to Jesus - Mary sat and listened to Jesus, stay close to your family -don't escape from your family when you need each other. and keep believing in the power of Jesus because when we show faith He shows His power.

Pastor Daniel finished by saying that today 19th October 2025, Hope Church stopped being a name and started being our identity.
