Hope Chapel

Hope Chapel is a warm, hospitable community of Christian believers.  We are called together to love God, love each other and love our city.

"God is love and then hates a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood....it's a loving thing to hate those things!" Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"Knowing him in relationship IS the biggest gift and oftentimes we fall short of this and settle for having our sins forgiven." Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"People in the church, broadly speaking, know about Jesus but haven't actually developed a relationship with Him." Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"There is nothing wrong with the message of grace. God's message doesn't bear bad fruit!" Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"Our union with God and our connection with Him couldn't be more perfect." Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"We don't all have the same function in the body of Christ." Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"We didn't birth ourselves.. That's something Christ had to do in us." Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

The key to finding life: not in being better than average; the standard isn’t just OK but – the Glory of GOD. We’ve all fallen short, You're not invited into a new code of conduct - but you're invited to a person, who lived a lifetime of perfect obedience: Jesus Christ. You become His, He becomes yours - that becomes yours in Him.

"When we see Israel in the Bible as blessed in order to be blessed, we are projecting our own immature thinking on Israel in thinking that we are merely blessed in order to be blessed"
Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"Israel's purpose was to shine the light of the gospel on the Gentiles and that is what Paul is doing."
Matthew Ryniker on Romans 11

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"Elijah was afraid he was the only prophet yet....in Paul's day, the analogy maps like this....those who are accepting Christ versus those who are rejecting Christ. It is still grace through faith."
Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!
Romans 11:11-12

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"When Paul says in Romans 11 that 'all Israel will be saved' he isn't merely saying that 'everyone who will be saved will be saved' because that would be a tautology."
Matthew Ryniker

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"God is the God of Jews and Gentiles."
Mattew Ryniker

"You need to be rooted in Christ before the "event" happens." [speaking of trials in our lives]
Denise Hance

[Hope Chapel @HopeChapelATX]

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:17b-19
