Biblical Theology of the Diaconate (21): Seeking to Prosper Our Brother in Dignity, Materially, and Spiritually [2023.01.29 Sabbath School]

The Lord's instructions for slavery among Israelites showed that they were to seek that their brother would prosper in dignity, materially, and especially in spiritual things. As the Lord's People do this, such love is fostered among them that they wish to become literal family.(click here to DOWNLOAD mp3/pdf files of this lesson)

The God of Peace Will Soon Crush Satan under Your Feet (2021.05.09 Morning Sermon in Exodus 1:15–21)

How is it that you can live with joy, and confidence, and zeal, even if you "call a spade a spade" and rightly recognize that Satan has his fingerprints all over what's going on? Because a truly complete perception will recognize, even more, that the LORD has His fingerprints all over what is going on—fingerprints that are inked with the victorious blood of our serpent-crushing Redeemer!

We hear a sermon from Proverbs and then join all together in prayer led by men, before splitting into groups and individuals for intercession, thus balancing being led in praying corporately together with giving everyone an opportunity to pray out loud and covering our requests list.

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.
