In Christ, we are set free — not for selfishness, but for love. In Galatians 5, Apostle Paul reminds us that true freedom is not found in doing whatever we want, but in living by the Spirit. In a world that often confuses freedom with individualism, the Spirit leads us into a different way: serving one another, resisting the pull of fear and division, and bearing the fruit of a transformed life. J...

Join us for a special Youth Mission Trip Sunday as our youth lead worship and share stories from their recent mission experience. Through music, scripture, prayer, and personal testimonies, they will reflect on where they saw God at work, how lives were impacted, and how their faith was challenged and strengthened. Come celebrate the energy, compassion, and courage of our young people as they invi...

What do we do when life feels unfair, painful, or overwhelming? In the stories of Hagar and Ishmael, we encounter a God who sees suffering, hears cries of distress, and responds with compassion. Lament is more than sorrow—it is honest faith that refuses to stay silent in the face of pain. Join us as we explore how bringing our grief, questions, and heartbreak to God can become a pathway to healing...

Jesus looked at the crowds with compassion and said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” The need is great — not only in the world around us, but within the life of the church itself. In Matthew 9–10, Jesus calls ordinary people to step forward, serve boldly, and join in God’s work of healing, welcome, and hope. This week, we’ll reflect on what it means to move from being spectato...

In Matthew 9:18–26, two very different people come to Jesus with the same desperate hope: a religious leader grieving his daughter and a woman long isolated by illness and exclusion. One is respected and powerful; the other overlooked and marginalized. Yet Jesus responds to both with compassion, healing, and new life. This week, we explore how Christ crosses boundaries, restores dignity, and remin...

“New Courage: Take Up Your Cross, Follow Me” Matthew 16:21–27 Jesus calls his followers to a courageous way of life — not driven by fear, comfort, or self-preservation, but by love. In a world afraid of loss, Jesus invites us to take up the cross and follow him. Yet this is not a call to despair; it is a resurrection-shaped invitation empowered by the Holy Spirit. Because Christ is risen, we can l...

This Pentecost, celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the new power Christ gives his people. In Acts 2, ordinary disciples are transformed into bold witnesses, sent to share the good news in courageous and life-giving ways. The same Spirit still calls and equips us today — to listen, to step out in faith, and to go where Jesus is leading us spiritually, relationally, and even beyond our comfor...

This Sunday: “A Harvest of Hope" - Guest Preacher Rev. Joseph Moore, from the Presbyterian Foundation. What we plant today shapes the future we may never fully see.

This Sunday, Pastor Caressa brings a message titled, “New Priorities: Seeking First God’s Kingdom.” Because of the resurrection, we are freed from the anxiety that so often shapes our lives. Jesus’ words, “Do not worry,” are not naïve — they are resurrection realism. When death no longer has the final word, everything changes. Join us as we explore how new life reorders our priorities from self-pr...

This Sunday, Pastor Caressa talks about our new identity in the Risen Christ. Resurrection doesn’t just change our future — it reshapes who we are. In Matthew 5:13–16, Jesus calls us SALT that flavors and LIGHT that shines, revealing God’s presence in the world. New life isn’t meant to be hidden. Join us as we explore how to live this identity in everyday places. Give: https://newhopepres.org/give...

This Sunday, Pastor Caressa invites us to see with “New Eyes: Seeing as Easter People.” In the wake of resurrection, we are given a new way of seeing — shaped not by fear or scarcity, but by blessing. Through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12, we discover that Jesus isn’t describing ideals to strive for, but the kind of community Easter creates. Come explore a different way of living, seeing, and r...

Pastor Jordan’s final Sunday with us will be a meaningful and grace-filled moment in the life of our church. As he preaches from Philippians 1:3–11, he offers his message as a personal letter to New Hope — echoing the Apostle Paul’s words of gratitude, joy, and deep affection for a beloved community. Together, we will give thanks for the ways Pastor Jordan has shared in the gospel with us over the...

This Palm Sunday, we continue our series through From Wilderness to Glory by N. T. Wright with the chapter “Jesus in the City.” As Jesus enters Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna,” the crowd welcomes him like a king—but not everyone understands the kind of kingdom he brings. This triumphant entry is both celebration and confrontation, hope and tension. Together, we’ll explore what it means to welcome...

This Sunday, we continue our series through From Wilderness to Glory by N. T. Wright with the chapter “Jesus Among Enemies.” From religious leaders to political authorities, Jesus faced resistance, suspicion, and hostility.

This Sunday, we continue our journey through From Wilderness to Glory by N. T. Wright with the chapter “Jesus Among Friends.” Jesus didn’t carry out his mission alone—he formed a community. Around tables, on dusty roads, and in honest conversation, he shaped ordinary people into faithful companions. Together, we’ll explore what it means to follow Christ not just as individuals, but as friends lear...

This Sunday, we continue our series through From Wilderness to Glory by N. T. Wright with the chapter “Jesus in Prayer.” Again and again in the Gospels, Jesus steps away from the crowds to pray—seeking clarity, strength, and communion with the Father. What does that rhythm teach us about dependence, discernment, and faithful living? Join us as we explore how prayer shaped Jesus’ mission—and how it...

This Sunday, we continue our journey through From Wilderness to Glory by N. T.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to follow a Messiah who meets people where they are—hungry for hope, healing, and bel...

The wilderness reveals what truly matters, stripping away distractions to show us whose we are.

This Sunday, we conclude our series on the Lord’s Prayer with the words, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.” Drawing from Chapter 6 of The Lord’s Prayer, we’ll reflect on what it means to place our trust not in ourselves or our systems, but in God’s reign of love, justice, and hope.  Give: https://newhopepres.org/give Connect Card: https://newhopepres.org/connect-card...

This Sunday in worship, we continue our journey through the Lord’s Prayer with the line, “Lead us not into temptation.”Drawing from The Lord’s Prayer, we’ll explore what this prayer really asks of God—and of us. Is temptation something God sends, or something we learn to face with honesty, humility, and trust? Join us as we reflect on grace, human weakness, and the God who walks with us through it...
