Hope Sermon Series Ideas and Graphics

Hope is the series a church reaches for after a hard year, a loss, or a season that took something out of everyone.

These ideas avoid the version that skips the hard part, because a hope series that opens on the good news loses the people it's written for.

The work in the gallery is ours. We’ve designed 13 approved pieces that match this topic for churches around the country, and you’re seeing the most recent of them.

The ideas

6 Hope series to steal

  1. 01

    Anchored

    Four weeks on what holds when circumstances don't. Steady rather than triumphant, which is what a congregation that's tired can actually receive.

  2. 02

    Still Here

    A series about faithfulness through a long hard stretch. Good after a leadership change or a year the church would rather not talk about.

  3. 03

    Sunday of Hope

    One weekend built entirely around testimony and prayer. Less a series than an event, and it'll need its own invite artwork.

  4. 04

    Lament to Hope

    Three weeks that start in the Psalms of complaint and move forward without rushing. The pacing's the whole design of this one.

  5. 05

    Ten Years

    An anniversary arc that tells the church's own story honestly, including the parts that were hard. A church that does this well builds enormous trust.

  6. 06

    Morning

    A short series on what comes after grief, timed for a spring slot rather than a winter one. Timing matters more here than it usually does, and you'll feel it if you're early.

Real work

Hope graphics we designed

Approved pieces from real churches. Title slides, promo sets, print and apparel, at each piece's true proportions because we don't crop work to fit a grid.

Planning

What To Build and When

Restraint reads as sincerity in this one. Bright color and energetic type'll undercut the message before anyone hears a word of it.

Give people something to take with them. A card with one verse on it gets kept from a hope series more than it does from any other kind.

Every other topic we’ve built is on the sermon series ideas hub.

Questions Churches Ask

When should a hope series run?

After a hard season rather than during one. A congregation that's in the middle of a crisis needs presence before it needs a series.

How long should it be?

Three or four weeks. Long enough to move somewhere and short enough not to dwell.

What should a hope series avoid?

Resolving too fast. Naming the hard thing for a full week is what'll make the rest of it credible.

Want the artwork handled?

Tell us the series and the date. Your Squad builds the slides, the social set and the print, and you'll spend that week on the message instead of on the artwork.
