Hope Church LV Sermons

In our Anchored series, we're journeying through Isaiah 55. In this sermon, Pastor Scott preaches from Isaiah 55:1-3, where God invites everyone who thirsts to come and be satisfied in Him. Together, we explore why the things of this world can never truly fulfill our deepest needs, how true satisfaction can only be found in Jesus, and what it looks like to pursue lasting satisfaction through a rel...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preaches from Acts 6:8–15. What is the goal of the Christian life? It is a relationship with God where He changes me, little by little, to look more like Jesus. From this passage, we learn from Stephen’s life, a follower of Jesus who faced persecution, that as we as we abide in Christ, we become more like Jesus, and the more we become like Jesus, the more opposition we...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 6:1-7. As we study this passage, we see that problems are inevitable as the church grows. Pastor Scott shows how relevant this truth is not only for our church, but also for our personal lives. One principle we learn is that failure isn’t always the result of sin. Sometimes, failure is simply the result of human limitation. Watch the full sermon to l...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 5:27-42. As the disciples continued proclaiming the good news, they faced increasing persecution. Yet rather than obeying the demands of others to stop, they chose to obey God and remained faithful to their mission. In the same way, followers of Jesus today may face opposition when sharing their faith in places where Christ is resisted. The question...

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan preached from Acts 5:17-26. As the apostles faced opposition, imprisonment, and pressure to stop preaching the Gospel, God miraculously opened the prison doors and sent them right back to continue the mission. What opposition in your life has started to feel bigger or more permanent than God? Through this passage, we’re reminded that opposition never has the final wor...

In this sermon, Pastor Tom McCormick preached from Acts 5:12–16. In this passage, we see God moving powerfully through the early. Miracles were taking place, unity was evident, the church was highly respected by the culture, more people than ever were being saved, and many were being healed. Together, we reflect on whether God is moving with that same power in Hope Church today, and whether we tru...

In this message, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 5:1-11. We wrestled with one of the hardest passages in the book of Acts as we looked at the story of Ananias and Sapphira. From this passage, we learned that the greatest hindrance to the advancement of the gospel is not sin outside the church, but sin inside the church. As followers of Jesus, do we understand the seriousness of our sin? Do we have...

In this sermon, we were honored to hear from Pastor Gene Staples, our Groups Pastor, as he preached from Acts 4:32-37. n this passage, we see how the early church lived in community. They lived generously by sharing their resources with one another, proclaimed the gospel to those who did not know Jesus, and met the needs of others. In the same way, we as a church are called to live generously in c...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 4:23-31. In this passage, we see how the early church responded to opposition through prayer, boldness, and dependence on God. This message walks through 5 challenging realities of a praying church, including embracing community, believing the Scriptures, trusting the sovereignty of God, praying with expectation, and experiencing the Spirit’s power....

In his last sermon at Hope, Pastor Trenton preached from Acts 4:13-22. When it comes to sharing the gospel, many of us feel like we don't have what it takes, and our response to that is avoiding what we're called to do. From the passage, we learn that the disciples felt the same way and what caused them to have the boldness to preach the gospel. If you're feeling like you don't got what it takes t...

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan preached from Acts 4:1–12, where Peter and John faced opposition for preaching the gospel. As Jesus followers, we will face pressure and opposition as we share our faith, and while people will reject the gospel, the good news is that the gospel cannot be stopped. The gospel is still being shared today, God is still making Himself known, and He is still saving people,...

In Week 2 of Next Step Sundays, Pastor Scott teaches from Colossians 1:27b to 28. In this sermon, we look at what spiritual maturity really means for a Jesus follower and walk through three key realities: 1. Christ in me is my only hope for spiritual maturity 2. Spiritual maturity is not just an option, it’s an expectation 3. Spiritual maturity requires effort Jesus follower, you were not meant to...

As we kick off week 1 of Next Step Sundays, we’re focusing on baptism, with Pastor Scott Worthington teaching from Romans 6:4. Baptism is a public declaration that says, “I am a Jesus follower.” In this message, we break down what baptism does not do and what it does do, helping bring clarity to its meaning and purpose. If you’ve been thinking about getting baptized or feel God leading you to take...

In this Easter message, Pastor Scott preaches from Matthew 16:13-17. We explore the question Jesus asked in Matthew 16: “Who do you say that I am?” and look at four truths about Him: He is real, radical, raised, and revolutionary. These truths invite us to reflect on our own response to Jesus. So, what do you think about Jesus? This is a question every person must answer. Watch this sermon to lear...

In this Lord’s Supper sermon, Pastor Trenton preached from Colossians 1:19–20, reminding us that when we need rescue, who our rescuer is changes everything. Jesus is the only one who can truly save us, not only because of who He is, but because of what He has done, reconciling us to God through His death and resurrection. No amount of effort or religion can accomplish what He has already finished....

This weekend at Hope is Generations Sunday! This is the time where all generations come together in one room to worship, pray, and hear from God's word. In this sermon, Pastor encourages everyone, from kids to students, parents to grandparents, and the whole church to not give up in doing good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith (Galatians 6:10) If you're a stude...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott introduced “OneLife,” a simple challenge for each of us to ask God, “Who is one person in my life that needs to come to know Jesus?” Every follower of Jesus has been saved to be sent. The gospel is the good news of Jesus, and it is not meant to be kept to ourselves but shared with those who do not know Him. Think of someone in your life who needs to hear it. Maybe it i...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 3:11-26. After a man who had been lame from birth is miraculously healed, a crowd gathers in amazement and begins looking at Peter and John like they are the heroes. But Peter quickly redirects their attention and makes it clear that the miracle isn't about them, but about Jesus. This passage reminds us that EVERYTHING, not just this story or the boo...

This weekend, we entered chapter 3 of Acts and Pastor Jordan preached from verses 1-10. In this passage, we see a miracle take place when a lame beggar is healed. As we study this story, we discover that not only do we see a miracle, but a window into how Jesus restores people. When Jesus restores a life, the change becomes visible. He restores people in ways that reveal His power to the world, an...

In this sermon, Pastor Tom preached from Acts 2:42-47. In this passage, we see the early church as a devoted church. A devoted church to spiritual things and not earthly things. Why were they devoted? Because they were a Spirit-filled church. They were indwelled by the Holy Spirit, dependent on the Holy Spirit, and controlled by the Holy Spirit. As they devoted themselves to spiritual things, God...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Acts 2:37-41 In this passage, we see how people responded after Peter's first sermon about the gospel.

In this message, Pastor Trenton preached from Acts 2:14–36. In Acts 2, we see God move as the Holy Spirit is poured out and the early Church begins. Yet even in this powerful moment, many people misunderstood what was happening and failed to recognize it as the work of God. We often want God to move in our lives, but we’re not always sure what that should look like. Acts 2 doesn’t just show us tha...

If you’re asking what God’s will is for your life, this message is for you. Check it out!

In this sermon, we focus on Jesus’ ascension in Acts 1:6–11 and explore three realities from His final moments on earth: Jesus doesn’t always give us what we want, He promises the Holy Spirit and the mission, and He ascends in glory with the promise to return in power. As we take part in God’s mission—loving our city, planting churches in the West, and bringing the gospel to the nations—we are rem...
