Sunday Morning Worship
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
The Man Jesus Loved Who Walked Away
Let’s look at Jesus’ familiar conversation with the rich young ruler. This man came to Jesus sincerely seeking eternal life. He’d lived a morally respectable life and seemed to have everything going for him. But when Jesus challenged him to sell his possessions and follow him, he walked away sorrowful. One of the most striking details in the story is Mark’s statement that Jesus looked at the man and loved him. Jesus knew what was keeping this man from fully…
Strength Without Revenge
David has been treated terribly by Saul, and then suddenly he finds himself in a position where he could easily strike back. The sermon will focus on how we respond when we’ve been hurt or mistreated and have the chance to retaliate.One of the main ideas is that gentleness isn’t weakness. David refuses to take revenge, but he also doesn’t pretend Saul has done nothing wrong. He confronts him honestly and then leaves judgment in God’s hands. Ultimately, the passage…
Faithfulness Without Guarantees
It’s understandable to want some assurance that doing the right thing will turn out well. We want to know that telling the truth won’t cost us our job or that standing by our convictions won’t damage a relationship. But sometimes we know what God wants us to do without knowing what will happen when we do it.These three men knew that God could rescue them. They also knew that he might not. Their words, “But if not,” show how deeply…

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…
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…
