Promises that shape us | Lead Pastor Jake Hothem

What’s the difference between ideas that inspire us and biblical promises that transform us? Join us as Pastor Jake Hothem shares how God’s promises are meant to be more than encouraging words—they are truths we can live out through the power of Jesus and the Holy Spirit! In Luke 9, Jesus sends out the twelve apostles to proclaim the Kingdom of God and heal the sick. These were things they weren’t accustomed to doing on their own, but Jesus gave them authority to cast out demons, heal the sick, and proclaim that God’s Kingdom had come near through Him. And the story doesn’t stop there! Jesus also promised that every believer could experience a personal relationship with God through the infilling of the Holy Spirit, be transformed into His image, bring hope to the hopeless, and continue the works that Jesus did during His time on earth. These aren’t just good ideas to inspire us—they are biblical promises to believe, receive, and live out! Join us as we discover how God’s promises shape who we are, empower how we live, and equip us to bring the hope of Jesus to the world around us.
