2024 HPUMC Wrapped

At HPUMC, we want to be a part of your faith journey in any way we can. One of those ways is through worship and sermons. Another way is through stories that show God working through the church. We invite you to watch or rewatch, read or reread these meaningful moments from this year. Here are the most-watched sermons and the most-clicked stories from 2024.

The top two most-watched sermons:

1. Overcoming Rejection | Rev. Paul Rasmussen

“But our core of who we are, we never have to doubt that God looks at us and is pleased with what He made. And once you determine that in your life and you discover once and for all where your identity really comes from, suddenly the rejection of all the rejectors doesn’t hurt nearly as bad because you’re not playing anymore for their approval.”

—Rev. Paul Rasmussen

2. Revelation: In Dallas | Rev. Matt Tuggle

"All of this matters not just for us as individuals—it starts with us. We want to see this make an impact on our city as a whole, too. We pray every week, 'your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' How about 'your kingdom come, your will be done right here in Dallas as it is in heaven'? That’s what we want to see.”

—Rev. Matt Tuggle

The top two most-clicked stories:

1. Rev. Chuck Cox Returns to HPUMC after 50 Years

"People have different ways of connecting with God, and that way is just as valid as the traditional. And I think people feel like they can come to our church and feel welcome. Jesus breaks down all the barriers. Race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender — all that stuff goes away when we experience God and experience Christ.”

—Rev. Chuck Cox

2. A Happy Life: Walter Frank "Hap" Goodman Jr.

“I think it's a very human church. I feel comfortable there. I don't feel like I've got to knuckle down or bow down or say a specific prayer or anything. It's just a very warm church. Now, I guess that is true of Methodism in general, but it is certainly true of our church.”

—Hap Goodman Jr.
