LHF This Week: Apr. 19- Apr. 26

Hello, Church Family!

It’s been another full and meaningful week at Living Hope Fellowship. From gathering in worship to celebrating a special night of creativity and praise, we’re grateful for the ways God continues to move in our church family.

In this week’s edition, you’ll find a Sunday Worship recap, a highlight from our recent Worship & Theater Night, upcoming events, this week’s Bible reading plan, and our updated prayer list.

Sunday Worship Recap

We gathered together this Sunday to continue our study through the Sermon on the Mount.

Pastor Chris preached from Matthew 5, continuing to walk us through Jesus’ teaching on what it looks like to live as citizens of God’s kingdom.

In this passage, we are reminded that following Jesus is not just about outward behavior, but about a transformed heart. Jesus calls us to a deeper righteousness—one that reflects His character in our attitudes, relationships, and daily lives.

As we continue this series, we are challenged to not only hear the words of Jesus, but to live them out in practical and meaningful ways.

If you missed the sermon, you can listen or watch anytime on our website, podcast platform, or YouTube channel.

What a special evening we had at our LHF Presents Worship & Theater Night!
