    Part 7 - The Unedited Self: How to Pray When You're Feeling Rubbish
    Mar 16 2026
    In this talk, based on John chapter 4 (the woman at the well), Howard and Holly Satterthwaite explore why prayer can feel difficult even though we believe it is powerful. Using the Samaritan woman’s encounter with Jesus as a picture of prayer as conversation with God, they highlight four movements: initiation, vulnerability, revelation, and transformation. Jesus invites our “unedited selves” into honest conversation and meets us with healing and forgiveness.

    Tomi Oyebadejo helps us to see that when we come to God in prayer, we don't have to try and muster up faith - we need to lift our eyes to the Awesome Father we are coming to - everything else looks puny compared to him.

    Part 2 - Our Confidence in Asking
    Feb 9 2026
    This week Tom Scrivens continues our “Teach Us to Pray” series, calling the church to deeper fruitfulness by rediscovering confidence in prayer through our union with Jesus. Drawing from Ephesians 3, Tom shows how prayer is an invitation to ask boldly because we have full access to the Father on the throne. He explores what it means to approach God clothed in Christ’s righteousness, and why our imperfect prayers are welcomed and carried by Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

    Part 1 - Victory Begins in Prayer
    Feb 2 2026
    This week Tom Scrivens kicks off a new series called “Teach Us to Pray”, opening up 2 Chronicles 20 and the story of King Jehoshaphat to show why prayer is not an optional extra but the primary weapon of God’s people. Speaking into an exciting season of growth, baptisms and fresh vision at Hope Church, Tom explores how times of blessing often bring opposition, and how God uses pressure to draw us away from self-reliance and back into dependence on him. Through a remarkable national prayer meeting, we see how worship fuels faith, specific prayer invites God’s intervention, and the Holy Spirit speaks when God’s people gather together. #PrayerChangesThings #HopeChurch #FaithInAction

Drawing on the mustard seed parable and real stories from church planting, Hugh challenges both “pillars” who stay and “pioneers” who go. The sermon encourages realignment of priorities, reminding us that God blesses His people to bless others and advance His kingdom with hope and expectation.
