Sunday Morning Worship

  • 9:00 am – 11:00 am
What to Expect Visiting a new church can be intimidating. When you visit the Hoover Church of Christ, you will never be asked to stand up, introduce yourself, or do any other activity that makes you feel uncomfortable. We’d just love to have you visit and study with us. We want you to feel comfortable when you visit us for worship services, so here is a brief summary of what you can expect from a typical service at the Hoover Church…

New Sermons

When Peace Takes Over

Brief Thoughts on the Sermon: Tomorrow’s sermon comes from Colossians 3:15, where Paul tells us to “let the peace of Christ rule” in our hearts. That’s a remarkable command because Paul doesn’t say, “Let peaceful circumstances rule around you.” He doesn’t say, “Let an easy life rule around you.” He says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” That means the deeper issue isn’t what’s happening around us. The deeper issue is what is ruling within us. And…

The Hunger Beneath Every Hunger

This sermon comes from Exodus 33, one of the most pivotal moments in Israel’s wilderness story. Israel has been rescued from Egypt, brought through the Red Sea, and gathered at Sinai. But after the sin of the golden calf, God tells them they can still go to the land he promised, but his presence will not go with them. That’s terrifying: the land without the Lord, blessing without presence, success without communion with God. Moses refuses it. He says, “If…

The Difference that Love Makes

The parable of the Prodigal son in Luke 15 is special partly because it is one of the passages that gives us a direct glimpse into the kind of Father God is.  The son decided he would rather have the riches that he would one day have inherited from his father than to live in his father’s presence.  So, he took his things and left.  But somewhere along the way, he realized the difference that love makes.  When in the…

Can I help you get that out of your eye?

This passage has always convinced me that Jesus had a sense of humor. If what he’s saying wasn’t so completely serious, it’d be downright hilarious.  Try to visualize the image he paints:  Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that…

No tears

Back in the summer, I heard about a little baby who died after accidentally being left in a sweltering car for three hours. That poor child. And that poor family. I can’t even fathom how overwhelming their grief is, how much guilt they feel, how many tears they’re shedding. It’s a reminder—if we needed one—of how many struggles there are in the world. How many people are suffering? How many tears they’re crying. When’s the last time you wept? It’s…
Poor male beggar asking for charity money and help

Penniless

I was getting off the interstate a while back when I saw a man at the bottom of the exit ramp holding a “NEED FOOD” sign. I’m always stirred by different feelings when I see this—compassion, a bit of guilt, curiosity, shame. Why doesn’t he have food? Should I give him money? But it’s also interesting to recognize that this is the image Jesus used to start the most famous sermon ever preached. Most people in his nation thought the…
