Hope Traditional Worship (September 13, 2026)

As the weeks of summer come to a close, many of us launch into new rhythms at school, work, and home. Here in the Green Bay area, the NFL season kicks off. But God’s Word gives us the best “fresh start” of all—the forgiveness of our sins. Without forgiveness, we are sunk—all our relationships fall apart; worst of all, our relationship with God. But Jesus’ sacrifice for us changes everything! Because of Jesus, we live “debt free.” May God grant us grace to live gratefully in that freedom by extending forgiveness to those who sin against us.
