Why does God remind them about the Passover? Numbers 9:1–14 prepares us for the evening sermon on the Lord’s Day. In these fourteen verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the God of the first Passover is the God of the second, and He requires that it be kept, and that it be kept correctly, by all of His church and only His church.(click here to DOWNLOAD mp3/pdf files of this lesson)

Why Our Lord Fervently Desired the Last Passover, the First Lord's Supper (2021.08.15 Morning Sermon in Luke 22:8–20)

The Lord Jesus fervently desired this meal because He was eager for fellowship with us, eager to give Himself to us, eager to secure for us (and assure us of) all of the blessings of the new covenant, and eager to establish for His church the weekly meal of the Lord's Supper in which they might enjoy this fellowship, provision, and security from Him.

Every Day in Your Home
You are the most important individual on earth in your and your children's spiritual lives!

Scripture teaches us that shepherd-teachers and every other member of the church are given as gifts from Jesus to help us grow up into Him. But there is nothing that anyone else can do that will substitute for daily worship of Him, by those means that He has appointed, through which He works in us by His grace.

The Hopewell at Home daily devotional guide is a weekly publication that comes alongside to facilitate personal and family devotions. Freshly written every week by a pastor who knows those entrusted to his spiritual care (Heb 13:17), it not only enables you to see the meaning of the text by asking simple, inductive questions, but also gives a sample exposition and application for you to use for yourself, as a couple, or as a family.

Other Service, Fellowship, and Worship Opportunities
The ministry of the Gospel at Hopewell focuses especially upon those church activities started and commanded by Christ Himself. While formalized/programmed events can be useful to get us going, our elders encourage us to take the initiative ourselves.

Some examples have included a ladies' book club, sidewalk ministry at Planned Parenthood of Nashville, and a ladies' fellowship tea put on by some of the youngest ladies in the congregation.

What ministries will you be starting, or are you already participating in, that you will use to encourage the rest of the church in walking with the Lord?

Men's Breakfasts
Led by one of our elders, on the 4th Saturday of each month, men ages 1-121 gather for breakfast at 7 a.m. and read and discuss some profoundly helpful Scripture or scriptural book. We’re currently studying Building a Godly Home, v1: A Holy Vision for Family Life by William Gouge—the first volume of a masterfully exposited and applied treatment of Ephesians 5:21–6:9.
