Hope Church LV Sermons

This weekend, we were honored to welcome back Pastor Jeff Phillips, our Congregation Pastor of Hope Church Henderson. He preached from Mark 15:33-41, the death of Jesus. We reflected on what the death of Jesus reveals and the gifts His sacrifice gives us. Jesus died to pay the penalty of our sin so that we wouldn’t have to. He was forsaken so that we could be forgiven, punished so that we could be...

In this sermon, Pastor Trenton Dorner preaches from Mark 15:21–32, where Jesus was crucified. From this story, we learn that following Jesus isn’t about watching from a safe distance.

In this sermon, Pastor Ricky Harris preaches from Mark 15:16–20, where Jesus is mocked. We sat with the weight of Jesus’ suffering—every strike, every insult, every wound He took willingly.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preaches from Mark 15:1–15, where Jesus is delivered to Pilate, Barabbas is released, and Jesus is handed over to be crucified.   Barabbas was a wicked, guilty, and condemned man—yet the crowd chose to set him free and crucify Jesus, the innocent and righteous one, in his place. As followers of Jesus, we must recognize that Barabbas is a reflection of us. W...

In this sermon, Pastor Trenton Dorner preaches from Matthew 7:7–11. At Hope Church, we believe that we don’t pray before we work, prayer is the work, and then God works.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preaches from Mark 14:66–72, where Peter denies Jesus. The Jesus that Peter was experiencing was different than the Jesus that Peter wanted, and that led him to deny knowing Him. Unfortunately, we see this still happening today where many follow a version of Jesus they hope will bring success or fulfill their dreams, but when He doesn’t, they, like Peter, m...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Mark 14:43-52 - when Jesus was arrested.

We take a look at each moment and receive applications we can begin wrestling with in our walk with God....

In this sermon, Pastor Trenton Dorner preached from Mark 14:32-42 - the story of Jesus praying in Gethsemane. In the garden, Jesus was in a place of crushing as He faced the decision to either remain obedient to the Father’s will or do what was comfortable. As Christians, we will have our own ‘garden moments’ and if we’re honest, obedience to God doesn’t feel peaceful or rewarding, but painful. So...

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Mark 14:10-11. In this passage, we talked about the betrayal of Judas and learned that you can be close to the things of God and not know God.

We can be part of the crew who follows Jesus and be lost without a relationship with Him, or turn our backs on H...
