Listen to the messages preached live across Hope City Church
As a church, we are on a quest to ask God, “what does the church that you want to build look like?”
In this week’s message, Ps Lois Willis explores the idea that perhaps, up until now, we’ve been stuck in man-made living. But now God has led us, like Jacob, to an altar where we can lay down our old ways and move our lives and the church toward God-made living.
Do you know God as your safety and your refuge? Like Jacob, are you able to find your peace, safety and rest in Him, the Rock of Ages?
Explore what resting on the rock means for us today with this week’s message from Ps Jo Willis: ‘Heaven on Earth: A Refuge on the Rock of Ages’.
We all have issues. Difficulties in circumstance, health issues, and lies we’ve come to believe about ourselves just name a few. Though we are never too far from the grace of God.
Just one touch from Jesus is enough to satisfy! It’s enough to heal, to restore, and to affirm. Listen to this message from Ps Chris Denham and remind yourself of the hope and resurrection life that Jesus offers.
It’s time to go back to basics. What makes our lives worth living? How can we have total trust in God? What fears; what insecurities do we need to let go of?
It’s no longer about performance. Let’s flip our perspective.
Tune into this week’s podcast message as Ps Tebo Mpanza unpacks the fundamental facts of the Christian life.
This is an unprecedented season for us all. In unprecedented moments, God can do unprecedented things. Today’s sermon emphasises the importance of remembering God’s work in our lives, it is important to know that God is more than able to deliver us from this valley again and again. It’s easier to step out in faith when we see God move over and over again. God is calling out to you today to go again. Let’s do this, again.
God wants to tell you how valued you are.
You would think that we are living in a time where people know their worth but the reality of this generation is that people don’t know what real confidence is.
We live in a ‘value crisis generation’, which makes it difficult to know how much God love’s us. As a new creation a journey of allowing God to change, form and transition you from your previous mindset brings Confident Faith because God way is always better.
Ps Georgie encourages that as believers, we are to lift our heads and hearts to walk out as people who carry a Confident Faith, knowing that God wants us to be completely set free.
So much of what we live in tomorrow is based on what we are building today.
The legacy we leave in the future has the ability to break open areas in our world not just for the kingdom of heaven but for others to follow in as well but the question we have to ask ourselves before we get there we have to ask ourselves one question. What are we building?
There’s an unexpected power in belonging.
Your ability to belong is inextricably linked to your gifting being released and without it giants of intimidation will continue to threaten our future. But God has built a giant slayer into each one of us, uniquely gifting us to take down giants both personally and on behalf of others, and it happens as we are we are planted in the soil of community and flourish beside the stream of the Holy Spirit. Understand that there are stages to belonging; it takes something of us, and as we move through them, God transforms us to become giant slayers on behalf of a generation.

Live From Hope City Birmingham With Tebo Mpanza
Defiance in the right space can be a good thing. We often see defiance as being in a position of strength standing firm against the things that oppose us. And yet, Daniel’s defiance was found humbly on his knees in prayer. Take a knee and see the astounding ways in which God will move on your behalf.
The world urges us to occupy the smallest space, but God wants us to occupy wide open spaces. Don’t downsize God to the level of your thinking or expectations. Live the Big life God has called you in to!
Life is a series of choices. But how do we know what the right decision is? Nothing is more important than hearing God’s voice and being able to distinguish it from the voices of the world. Pastor Tebo gives insight into how we can tell if God is speaking to us.
Identity. Not knowing who we are is one of the greatest struggles of our generation. When you know who you are in Christ, you’re empowered to live God’s destined life for you. Don’t let the enemy rob you of your identity – you’re verified!
Living for God is not a spectator sport. You are cordially invited to leave the stands and take your God-ordained place in the centre of the arena. Your destiny awaits!
God is refining us in obscurity. Maybe we just need a change in our perspective to see our exile as God developing our character. Today’s exile could be the key to tomorrow’s return.
Transition is the process of changing from one state or condition to another. As followers of Christ we are always in transition, but sometimes these transitions can feel like we’re being tossed around by the wind and waves. Pastor Tebo teaches us how we can cling to Jesus during the storms of transition.
The church is built on good seed, and we are the fruit of someone else’s spiritual seed. Whether you know it or not, you too are a seed-sower – Pastor Tebo challenges us to develop good seed to sow.
Pastor Tebo encourages us to get back to basics. Put aside the drama, put aside the nonsense, and just focus on Jesus.
Grace is God’s absolute best – the riches of God freely given to us, but at the upmost expense to Jesus. How can we live in good grace?
We often ask the question: Is God good all the time? Pastor Tebo encourages us to bring our perspective and focus back to the absolute truth that God is good. The foundation of all hope is the goodness of God.
In modern society we are very good at being busy, even when we’re ‘resting’. We’re on call 24/7. Pastor Becky poses the question, what is true rest in God?
Through the power of the Holy Spirit we can overcome intimidation – we can get our hopes and dreams back. Tune in as Pastor Tebo teaches how this is achievable.
Revival demands and requires that we step up to the next level. But sometimes we find ourselves in a place where we feel unable to level up. Why is this? Join us as Ronia encourages us how to keep elevating in life.
God can turn any life circumstance around. Tune in this week as Stu Otten shares his powerful testimony of how God’s love was unrelenting in bringing him out of a life of crime.
Jesus was never overwhelmed with things. The Sabbath is the metronome that keeps us in time with God’s rhythm. Part 3 of the Sabbath Series checks in on following and trusting the rhythm of God, declaring freedom over our time and confidence in our identity. Preached by Ps Joel Burden live at Hope City Church in Kuala Lumpur.
One of the most exciting things about life is the opportunities that it presents us. Pastor Becky poses the question: Are our eyes open to these opportunities, or do we see them as obstacles and opposition?
Listen in as Pastors Tebo and Becky talk about topics ranging from how they first met, to what they’ve learned since pastoring our church, to the issues that trouble our generation – not to be missed!
Practicing what you preach, Teach through your acts of faith and keep your integrity. These are just a few of the points discussed in this message by Ps Becky Mpanza as she unpacks ‘Defining Your Standards’ a message that is a continuation of the ‘Savage’ series.
Revival isn’t an emotional touch from heaven, but a transformed life wanting to see other lives transformed. What are the ingredients for revival?
You have died with Christ. So, choose LIFE every day. Tune in as Pastor Tebo continues the Savage series and unpacks what this means.
Nothing is everything. Nothing is the precursor to your everything in God. Pastor Lois declares that we are about to see the everything of God unfold from the nothing that we have.
Tune in and be inspired as Pastor Tebo interviews professional footballer Sam Jones about football, faith, and mental health.
Do you feel like you’ve been losing your breath? Maybe there are areas in your life that have dried up, and the question is: can those dry bones live?
God wants us to get our rhythm back. Inhale the breath of heaven. Breathe again.
A message from Pastor Gemma Overend about facing the storms life throws at you, preached live at Hope City Church in York.
The journey is worth it. Don’t get frustrated by the traffic on the way to your destination. Don’t give up on the journey. Remain steadfast, even when things look bleak – you’ll be glad that you did.
Ps Jeff Lucas shares his salvation story through the lenses of his ‘confused’ 17year old self to express the power of prayer.
In the book of Acts the description of the Early Church was that they were ordinary people who were devoted. Their journey included authentic and real experiences of both victories and struggles.
This message helps you to understand and see the similarities and differences between Church as we know now and the Early Church. However, despite this the only thing that has stay the same through out the ages is the Love of God for his people. His devoted people.
When you try to step out in faith and do something great there is always opposition. The enemy doesn’t target the lukewarm of faith, but those who burn passionately for God. Listen in as Pastor Tebo addresses how we can deal with spiritual opposition.
We can approach our lives thinking that there is a distribution problem in heaven – we see others being blessed with gifts, whilst we are seemingly forgotten. The grass always looks greener on the other side. Perhaps heaven doesn’t have a distribution dilemma, so much as we have a recognition dilemma. Pastor Gosia encourages us to shift our perception to see heaven’s blessing as doors of opportunity rather than neatly packaged gifts.
Every pioneer has to wrestle with idealism. The world isn’t as perfect as we imagine – there will always be bumps on the road, especially in this Christian life. God is looking for pioneers who won’t be dissuaded when things don’t go to plan.
Does love have a sell-by date? With insights from the gospel of Luke and personal experience, Pastor Lisa explores how we can revive, refresh and repair our most meaningful relationships.
When God wants something to happen He will always raise up a pioneer. Are you willing to be the one to break the ground? Are you willing to be the trailblazer who opens up our city to the Gospel?
Thank you. These two small words can have the biggest impact in your life. We are called to enter into God’s gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. What can thanksgiving unlock in your life?
