Sermons from 2025
Light in the Darkness
When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and Joseph with news that would disrupt their entire lives, his first words were “Fear not.” This sermon explores how two ordinary people from Nazareth responded to God’s impossible call with faith and what that teaches us about trusting God’s character when obedience gets costly.
Light in the Darkness
In this opening sermon of our Advent series “The Long-Awaited King,” we explore how the Old Testament prophets sustained hope through centuries of waiting—and what their promises mean for our darkness today. When Isaiah wrote to God’s people around 732 BC, they were living under the shadow of the Assyrian Empire. The northern kingdom had collapsed. Fear…
God’s Good Design for Gender, Marriage, and Sexuality
In a culture where identity has become fluid and uncertain, where do we find solid ground? Beginning in Genesis and looking forward to Revelation, we explore three foundational truths of scripture: First, that we are created as embodied people, male and female, by a God who knows us better than we…
The Millenium: Christ’s Reign, Our Hope
If you change the lens on a camera, the moment stays the same — but your experience of it changes. So it is with Christian views of the millennium. Revelation 20 shows us Christ’s victory and reign, but believers through history have “looked through different lenses.” This sermon surveys the three major millennial views — premillennialism (historic and dispensational),…
Eschatology: Many Maps, One Landscape
What do Christians really believe about the end times? Why do faithful believers sometimes come to different conclusions about what the book of Revelation means—and what does that tell us about God’s plan? This week at Hudson’s Hope Chapel, we explores the four major ways Christians have interpreted the end times throughout history: • Preterist: “It’s already happened.” •…

Providence: Trusting the Master of the Board
When life feels chaotic, it can seem like the pieces are falling apart — but God’s Word reminds us that the Master never loses control. In this message, we explore the doctrine of providence — the sovereign, purposeful, and loving rule of God over all things. Through Scripture and the story of The Immortal Game — a famous chess match where apparent defeat led to victory —…
The Purpose and Power of Prayer
Prayer is one of the most powerful gifts God has given us — but many of us still find it hard to pray, or we’re not sure how to start. In this message, Pastor Luke unpacks why we pray, how Jesus teaches us to pray in Luke 11, and what it means to keep asking, seeking, and knocking. We explore the Lord’s Prayer line by line, discovering prayer as conversation with our…
Gospel Flags: Baptism & Communion
Flags are just pieces of cloth — but they stand for something far bigger. They represent identity, history, pride, and belonging. This week at Hudson’s Hope Chapel, we’re talking about two “flags” Jesus gave His church: baptism and communion. Baptism is the bold declaration that we belong to Jesus — that our old life is gone and we’ve been raised with Him to new life.…
