Self-checkout everywhere. Meal prep for one. Productivity hacks so you never have to ask anyone for help with anything, ever. Independence is the brand, and nobody needs anybody. And some of that is healthy. Knowing how to be alone matters. But somewhere along the way […]

]]> Assemble. https://www.hopechurchatl.com/assemble/ Wed, 09 Sep 2026 16:30:00 +0000 https://www.hopechurchatl.com/?p=7992 I’ve been rewatching every single Marvel movie — all 65-plus of them — getting ready for the new Avengers movie that comes out later this year. Yes, I have a plan. Yes, it’s color-coded. Don’t judge me. Recently, I arrived at Avengers: Endgame, and even knowing exactly what happens, that one scene still got me. […]

]]> Your Status in the Story https://www.hopechurchatl.com/your-status-in-the-story/ Wed, 26 Aug 2026 16:30:00 +0000 https://www.hopechurchatl.com/?p=7988 We started this series pretending we’d never read the story before — waking up mid-scene, no idea what’s going on, no idea who the villain is, no idea there’s a King. We spent weeks figuring out the plot: there’s a Villain who lies, steals, and destroys. There’s a King who rules through love instead of […]

The dinner table that got too loud with laughter and nobody minded. Ever notice how you don’t want those moments to end? Scripture actually has a name for that […]

And just like every good story, ours has a villain — an evil villain whose mission is to steal, kill, and destroy everything in its path. But every good story with an evil villain has a hero. The greater the villain, the greater the hero — a […]

]]> The Door You Don’t Have to Open  https://www.hopechurchatl.com/the-door-you-dont-have-to-open/ Wed, 05 Aug 2026 16:30:00 +0000 https://www.hopechurchatl.com/?p=7982 Temptation rarely kicks the door down. It knocks. Sin doesn’t usually happen all at once. It moves in stages: a knock (a thought crosses your mind), then a look through the peephole (you get curious, entertain it), then the door opens (you agree with it), and only then does it become something you’re actually stuck […]

]]> The Lie Underneath https://www.hopechurchatl.com/the-lie-underneath/ Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:30:00 +0000 https://www.hopechurchatl.com/?p=7980 The enemy doesn’t have a toolbox. He has one tool: the lie. Go back to the garden and watch how it starts. “Did God really say…?” That’s it. That’s the whole strategy. Not force. Not power. A question dressed up to make you doubt what you already know is true. And here’s what’s easy to […]

Characters you don’t recognize, a fight you didn’t see start, tension you can’t explain — and you’re just standing there thinking, wait, what did I miss? That’s what it’s like to be born into this world. None of us got a prologue. We didn’t get the backstory […]

]]> Walking in wisdom https://www.hopechurchatl.com/walking-in-wisdom/ Wed, 17 Jul 2024 18:22:04 +0000 https://www.hopechurchatl.com/?p=5336 In Deuteronomy 4:5-6, Moses addresses the Israelites, reminding them of the importance of following God’s commandments as they enter the Promised Land. This passage underscores a profound truth: our adherence to God’s statutes isn’t just about obedience—it’s a testament and witness to God’s wisdom and way of doing things to the world. Walking in wisdom according […]

The Gospel is for everyone who believes. The Gospel is lived by faith. The Gospel is the power of God. Last Sunday, we discussed our faith as Christians, highlighting what distinguishes us from other major world religions—the Gospel of Jesus. In John 14:6, Jesus boldly declares, “I am the way, […]
