Which Chair Will I Sit In?
November 18, 2018 17:00 - 28 minutes - 20 MBMost of us will sit down with family and friends to share a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday. Will we choose gratitude or entitlement? Will we choose to be content or discontent? It matters not only for a day but for our entire lives which chair we will choose to sit in on this journey. Choose well, my friends!

Even When
November 06, 2018 13:45 - 22 minutes - 16 MBThis Sunday, November 4th, we will conclude our sermon series "A Grace-Full Life." God's grace comes to us in four movements: "Even There, Even Now, Even More, and Even Then," or more specifically prevenient grace, justifying grace, sanctifying grace, and glorifying grace. It all about living out our God's all-reaching, soul-saving, character-shaping, never-ending love. This week, we will focus on Romans 8:38-39 which tells us that nothing can separate us from God's amazing love. Even physic...

One Book for the Life of God
September 09, 2018 16:00 - 33 minutes - 23.1 MBThis Sunday, September 9, will be the conclusion of the sermon series based on the book, Scripture and the Life of God, by David Watson. We will be discussing the way God's Word is truly "One Book for the Life of God." We believe in the authority of Scripture. It is inspired (breathed) by God. The Bible isn't a book among books; rather it is the Book. Every word in God's Word points us to Jesus, even the words we struggle with, don't yet understand or don't agree with...yet. Here are the Scr...
Expectation and the Life of God
September 02, 2018 16:00 - 29 minutes - 20.7 MBThis Sunday, Sept. 2, will be week 4 of the sermon series based on the book, Scripture and the Life of God, by David Watson. We will be discussing expectation and the life of God. In general, the American church has very low expectations for God. For the most part, we tend to not expect miracles or anything bordering on the supernatural. The reality is that God gives all kinds of amazing gifts to his church (I Cor. 12:7-11) including wisdom, prophecy, faith, and healing. We should not only...
Guides into the Life of God - Dan Palmer
August 26, 2018 16:00 - 25 minutes - 18.1 MBThis Sunday, August 26, we'll continue our discussion on how a better understanding of Scripture leads us deeper into the life of God. We'll talk about how the lessons of Scripture are best absorbed with the help of a community of believers – both past and present – and why it's so vital for each of us to be intentional about walking with others on our journey of faith. Scripture verses to reflect on as you prepare for the message include Proverbs 3:5-6 and 27:17. Watch the Video and more he...
Reading for the Life of God - Rev. Vicki Harrison
August 20, 2018 17:10 - 25 minutes - 18 MBThis Sunday, we talk about Reading for the Life of God, based on Chapter 2 of David Watson's book, Scripture and the Life of God. Our scripture will be Hebrews 4:12, *"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires."* The reality is that God's Word is alive and powerful because we serve a living God! One of the most powerful ways to have an enc...
A Path Into the Life of God
August 12, 2018 16:00 - 30 minutes - 21.7 MBThis Sunday, August 12, we will start our new sermon series based on David Watson's book, *Scripture and the Life of God.* This week we will discuss how Scripture leads us deeper in the life of God, with specific emphasis on the Scripture's purpose, its divine and unique inspiration, and how it speaks into our lives in the here and now through the power of the Holy Spirit. Scripture verses to reflect on as you prepare for the message include Romans 7:15-19 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Watch the Vi...
Unsung Heroes: Jehoshaphat
August 05, 2018 16:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MBThis Sunday, August 5, we will finish our sermon series on “Unsung Heroes of God’s Word.” The Bible is filled with people called by God to use their gifts to serve Him and make a profound difference for God’s people, but not all of them are names we hear about all that much. We’ve looked at Bezalel and Oholiab, Priscilla and Aquila, and Shiphrah and Puah. This week’s message will be “Unsung Hero: Jehoshaphat,” who faced an overwhelming crisis as a king and he immediately turned to God fo...
Shiphrah and Puah
July 30, 2018 14:08 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MBThis Sunday, July 29, we will continue our sermon series on "Unsung Heroes of God's Word." The Bible is filled with people called by God to use their gifts to serve Him and make a profound difference for God's people, but not all of them are names we hear about all that much. We've looked at Bezalel and Oholiab and Priscilla and Aquila. This week's message will be "Unsung Heroes: Shiphrah and Puah," who refused to carry out an evil order from a Pharaoh that helped lead to the birth of Moses....
Unsung Heroes: Priscilla and Aquila
July 22, 2018 16:00 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MBThis Sunday, July 22, we will continue our sermon series on "Unsung Heroes of God's Word." The Bible is filled with people called by God to use their gifts to serve Him and make a profound difference for God's people, but not all of them are names we hear about all that much. Last week we looked at Bezalel and Oholiab, who were called, empowered, and equipped to lead the construction of the Tabernacle. This week's message will be "Unsung Heroes: Priscilla and Aquila," who helped Paul in his ...
Unsung Heroes: Bezalel and Oholiab
July 15, 2018 16:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MBThis Sunday, July 15, we will begin a new sermon series on "Unsung Heroes of God's Word." The Bible is filled with people called by God to use their gifts to serve Him and make a profound difference for God's people, but not all of them are names we hear about all that much. Over the next four weeks, we will look at people in the background of the Bible- people who never get much attention and very few headlines. Some you will never have heard of before at all. Bezalel and Oholiab, for examp...
After the Storm
July 08, 2018 16:00 - 28 minutes - 19.6 MBThis Sunday, July 8, we will finish up our sermon series, "The Storm Before the Calm" based on Talbot Davis' book by the same name. This week's message, "After the Storm," is based on what happened right after the flood. The fact is there is more danger after success than after failure. Noah, one described as "blameless" and "righteous," did something that missed the mark of God's full intention for his life after the storm, which led to consequences for generations to come. We can't forget ...
One Nation Under God
July 01, 2018 16:00 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MBThis Sunday, July 1, we will take a one week break from, “The Storm Before the Calm” based on Talbot Davis’ book by the same name, which we will finish up on July 8.

June 24, 2018 16:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MBThis Sunday, June 24, we will continue our sermon series, “The Storm Before the Calm” based on Talbot Davis’ book by the same name. This week’s message, “The Perfect Storm,” is based on Paul’s journey to Rome, which was marked by a terrible and long storm in Acts 17:13–44. We will see that today’s peace comes from tomorrow’s promise. There are times when storms in our lives last a relentlessly long time. Rather than letting ourselves get shipwrecked we have to consider what might need to ...
Storm Shelters
June 17, 2018 16:00 - 27 minutes - 19.5 MBThis Sunday, June 17, we will continue our sermon series, “The Storm Before the Calm” based on Talbot Davis’ book by the same name.

Ultimately, the assurance of heaven is our shelter on earth. God promises to one day balance all accounts, wipe away all tears, and sw...
Storm Chasers
June 10, 2018 16:00 - 27 minutes - 19.4 MBThis Sunday, June 10, we will continue our sermon series, “The Storm Before the Calm” based on Talbot Davis’ book by the same name. This week’s message, Storm Chasers, is based on Mark 4:35–41, in which the disciples find themselves in a boat taking on water in the midst of a terrible storm in the Sea of Galilee. Frantically bailing out water, they wake a sleeping Jesus, asking him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are drowning?” Jesus then calms the storm with just a few words and chas...
The Eye of the Storm
June 03, 2018 16:00 - 23 minutes - 16.9 MBThis Sunday, June 3, we will start a new sermon series, “The Storm Before the Calm.” There is an accompanying book that goes with this 5-week series. Storms in our lives are inevitable. How will we make sense of life’s troubles? You are in one of three places: You just came through a storm. You are in the middle of a storm right now. You are headed toward a storm in the future. When you build your life on a solid foundation, you’ll be ready when life is unsteady. What you do in the calm de...
New Hope Non-Negotiables
May 27, 2018 16:00 - 30 minutes - 24 MBThis Sunday, May 27, is Trinity Sunday and we will finish up our 2 part sermon series on “The Big Picture.” Last week we talked about our vision of being a church that is rooted in God’s Word, renewed by God’s Spirit through worship and prayer, and reaching out with love into our community and world. This week we’ll look at our values that are so important they are “non-negotiable.” To be better prepared for worship read Matthew 22:37–40; Isaiah 30:21; John 16:13; Genesis 1:1–2; Acts 15:28;...
The Three R’s: Rooted, Renewed, Reaching
May 22, 2018 18:18 - 31 minutes - 24.9 MBWe celebrate the birthday of Jesus’ Church, Pentecost, which gives thanks for the coming of the Holy Spirit like a fire. Pastor Vicki talked about our “Why” last week helping determine our “What” in how we live the new life in Christ. Our mission at New Hope is to make more and better followers of Jesus Christ. We’ll look at our vision this Sunday of being rooted in God’s Word, renewed by God’s Spirit through worship and prayer, and reaching out with love into our community and world. Ch...
What's Our Why?
May 13, 2018 16:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MBAt New Hope, we talk a lot about our mission, which is to make more and better followers of Jesus, and our strategy for doing this - REACH, CONNECT, GROW, and SEND. Those are our WHATs. But the critical question is really, WHY do we do this? WHY do we ramble on and on about it? I know some of you think this! But seriously, WHY does it matter? This Sunday, May 13, the message will be focusing on, “What’s our WHY?” When you know your WHY, your WHAT has more impact because you are walking in or...

Journeying with Jesus
April 08, 2018 16:00 - 27 minutes - 19.4 MBLast week was Easter and it was amazing and glorious! But then Monday came and for so many, life returned to normal. While we know we are supposed to be Easter people - transformed, empowered, and energized by the power of the resurrection - all too often, we are disconnected from Easter in our everyday life journey. This week, we will talk about "Journeying with Jesus," based on the road to Emmaus resurrection narrative in Luke 24. How do we encounter the resurrected Christ in our everyday ...
The Question That Matters
April 01, 2018 16:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBThis Sunday, April 1, is Easter and April Fools Day, which is quite appropriate. What a turn of events as the One who was dead was brought back to life! The message will be from John 11:25-26: "Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” Jesus pointedly asked Martha if she believed this. 2000 years later Jesus looks us in the eye and a...

March 18, 2018 16:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBThis Sunday, March 18, we will conclude our sermon series on the "Seven Last Words" of Jesus spoken from the cross.

Putting Religion in Its Place
January 28, 2018 17:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBThe rules and regulations found in God's Word were designed to provide graceful limits for God's people. Often times, however, those same rules can get twisted and rigid in the midst of how messy life can be for people. The rules of religion are good and important, but they take a back seat to the most important commandment- loving God and loving people.

Classless
January 21, 2018 17:00 - 26 minutes - 18.1 MBThis Sunday, January 21, we continue with the sermon series “Why in the World?” We have talked about how awesome it is that God showed up in a human body and lived among us in Jesus. We said that Jesus didn’t claim to have the best explanation about God; rather He declared that He was the best explanation of God. One of the reasons Jesus came from heaven to earth- as the perfect and full representation of the Father- was to remove barriers that prevented us from connecting with one another. ...
Like Son, Like Father

A number of you are using the accompanying materials from Andy Stanley in your connect Groups.

If you want to get involved in one, contact Vicki Harrison at [email protected]. Christ followers believe some absurd things—including that God showed up in a human body and lived among us in Jesus.
