  • The Weight of Forgiveness - Wes Peterson | Soul Calling
    Feb 17 2025
    The Weight of Forgiveness | Soul Calling | Part 2 This morning, we continued our series, Soul Calling, with a message from Executive Pastor Wes Peterson. In Matthew 18:21-35, Peter asked Jesus how often he should forgive someone who wrongs him — seven times? Jesus challenged him to go far beyond, saying, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. He then shares the parable of the unforgiving servant. Out of mercy, a king forgave a servant’s incredible debt. Yet, when confronted with a much smaller debt owed to him, the servant chose not to forgive as he was forgiven. The message is clear: we have been forgiven beyond measure, and in response, we are called to extend that same mercy to others. Forgiveness isn’t about keeping score — it’s about reflecting the limitless grace we’ve received. If you missed today’s message, we encourage you to take the time and listen/watch on YouTube at @HopeChurchRVA.

  • Fruitful Teaching - David Dwight | Soul Calling
    Feb 12 2025
    Fruitful Teaching | Soul Calling | Part 1 Today, we kicked off a brand new sermon series exploring Jesus’ teachings through the parables. These powerful stories were one of Jesus’ ways of teaching truth — inviting reflection and provoking thought unique to each person. This morning, Senior Pastor David Dwight walked us through Matthew 13:1-15, the parable of the sower. Just as the condition of the soil determines whether a seed thrives or dies, so the state of our souls affects how God’s Word takes root in us. Are our souls tended and enriched by scripture, prayer, community, and service? Or are they strangled by this life’s anxieties, distracted and hardened by culture, or weakened by the storms of hardship? In the same way Adam was created to tend the Garden of Eden in partnership with God, we are invited to cultivate the soil of our souls — making them soft, receptive, and fertile ground for the seed of God’s Word to sow and continuously bear fruit.

  • Everything New - David Dwight | New
    Feb 5 2025
    Everything New | New | Part 5 This morning, Senior Pastor David Dwight concluded our first sermon series, New, with a powerful and hope-filled message. In the beginning, God created the Garden of Eden — a place of perfect peace, unity, security, love, and wholeness. But when sin entered the picture, so did doubt, shame, fear, confusion, brokenness, and death. Over the centuries, humanity drifted further from God’s original design. Yet, in a world marred by disease, hardened hearts, and suffering, Jesus came to redeem and restore it. Through His birth, death, and resurrection, Jesus set the stage for God’s ultimate plan of redemption. And we can hold fast to this promise: God is making all things new. One day, He will restore creation completely — sin abolished, death defeated, every tear wiped away. In its place will be a love so whole, so complete, that it surpasses anything we could ever imagine. You can watch all messages from this series online at @HopeChurchRVA on YouTube, and you can dive deeper individually or in your small groups with discussion guides available on our website.
