New Hope Christian Chapel Podcast

God's kingdom is growing and expanding all around the world as individuals experience the transforming love of Jesus Christ. Join us as we celebrate the love of Jesus moving in the life of two of our young adults as they take the important and beautiful step of baptism!

Our entire lives ultimately boil down to two questions: "What do I want?", and "What does God want?". This battle of wills can be seen in our marriages, in our struggles with addiction, in our faith and churches, in our decision-making, in our fears... What would it take for us to echo Jesus' words during the most pivotal and agonizing moment in His life (and actually, all of history)?! He said to...

There are so many options offered to us for things that are supposed to make us happy, fulfilled, and successful...but which things will actually work to satisfy us and make our lives rewarding and blessed?! In the host of options provided for us, what is God's Will for us? The Bible offers several teachings with specific advice on what God's Will is in very practical areas of life, such as: sexua...

What is God's will? God's will is that we DO His will! It's not enough to just know or understand what He wants...God calls us to embody and implement it in our world! His will is an action! Join Pastor Dave as he explores four practical ways the Bible teaches us to live out the will of God: in our planning, in our prayers, in our money, and in our gratitude! May His kingdom come and His will be d...

Many might agree that Jesus of Nazareth is God's only begotten Son, the Messiah...but what about Jesus as "the Christ", through whom the entire universe was created, through whom all sins are atoned, and through whom every being finds its purpose and power? Christ is not Jesus' last name, it is His title, His nature, His essence, His role, His activity, His love! Walk with David Carreno through th...

Do you have any questions about the will of God? Are you searching for the will of God in your own life? Are you confused as to what His will is for a given situation? Do you struggle with the relationship of God's will to your free will? Much modern confusion on the will of God stems from the fact that in the Bible there are three separate Greek words with different meanings that are all translat...

May you be blessed to hear some testimonies from Brockton's Adult and Teen Challenge men as they share with New Hope during Sunday worship at The Center on Main. God is doing some great work in their lives, may we be encouraged to seek Him and His work in our lives as well!

o Christian should stand alone! An independent Christian is a contradiction of terms, an oxymoron, a fallacy...Christianity is by nature a family, a union, a kingdom. When we are saved by Christ, we are transferred instantly into both communion with God and community with believers. Life together. Take some time with Pastor Dave to learn from portions of the letters of Colossians, Philemon and 2 T...

Brother Lawrence, in his letters "Practicing the Presence of God" (1691AD) profoundly wrote, "Knowledge is commonly the measure of love." What do you love? What do you know the most about? Are they the same? As it relates to your faith, how much do you love God? How much do you know about Him as Father, Son and Holy Spirit? The mystery and belief in the Trinity is the single most important and def...

A testimony and word of spiritual encouragement by Larry Costello for New Hope Christian Chapel.

A testimony and word of scriptural encouragement by David Carreño for New Hope Christian Chapel.

A personal testimony and word of scriptural encouragement by Tommy Hogan for New Hope Christian Chapel.

When you pray, is it more often to ask God for His help with problems and needs, or is it to ask Him for amazing fruit and power in your life and others? Prayer isn't just spiritual problem solving, it's God's power directed toward people! Don't pray fear-based prayers, pray faith-based, future hope-filled, fruitful prayers!

Accepting Jesus' invitation to believe in Him and follow Him is just like accepting someone's marriage proposal! He invites us to a life-long (and eternity-long!) marriage of love and grace! But too often people treat their faith as a casual, not a committed, relationship. Are you married to Jesus, or are you just dating? Is He your beloved, your one true love?!

It has been the culmination of many years of God's leading and calling...but the New Hope church family finally stands at the beginning of a new chapter of serving Him in Taunton! What has gotten New Hope to this point? What is the big picture of what God is doing in His world-wide church right now? What does it look like to pursue obedience and joy?! Take some time to hear from Pastor Dave and Mi...

Are you looking for meaning and purpose in life? Are you working hard to become who you "want" to be? Are you yearning to "find yourself" in your job, relationships, or achievements? Purpose is God-designed, not man-made! A meaningful and rewarding life is the result of discovering how we have been created, not our own efforts to become someone we're not! Have you experienced the wonderful peace,...

If you are married, have you ever renewed your vows to your spouse? If you are a Christian, have you ever intentionally renewed your vows to Jesus?! You should! A relationship with God goes through three stages: "Don't", "Do", and "Be"...and those who get stuck in the first two stages will never fully realize the beauty and profound experience of not just avoiding sin or striving for holiness...bu...

Pastor Dave took some time on our first week of worship at The Center to show us how the dedication of the First Temple by Solomon (in 2 Chronicles 2-7) provides us with a powerful parallel to both how Jesus builds us into His beautiful temple, as well as what the scripture's example is on how to dedication a space for God's glory! May we always give thanks to God, for His love endures forever!

Have you ever experienced the birth of a church? Have you seen firsthand the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the miraculous events, the proclamation of Christ, and the conversions and baptisms that follow? If you have, then you have experienced the Holy Spirit at work! Pentecost Sunday, the birth of Christ's church, as it's recorded in Acts 1 and 2 is a beautiful description of a church birth, and...

Are you experiencing grief that feels like it may never end? Psychologists have identified stages of grief such as denial, anger, or acceptance...but how do we move through those stages in a healthy way? The Bible provides us with an ancient Christian practice that God gives us to move through grief called a "Lament". Are you familiar with the 5 elements of a biblical Lament? Have you ever tried w...

There are things that only mothers experience...and therefore they are a source of unique wisdom for us! And not just on parenting, but on faith and mission as well! Join Pastor Dave in this Mother's Day message as he walks though Ephesians 1:3-14 to explore the powerful parallels and insights that moms can give us about family, faith and life!

We are alive, led, and adopted by the Holy Spirit of God! Let's live like it! (A sermon on Romans 8 by David Carreño, at New Hope Christian Chapel)

Churches don't save people...theological stances don't save people...attending Sunday services doesn't save people...even just repeating the words of a conversion prayer isn't what saves people's souls! So what does? A sinful soul is saved for eternity by accepting the Word of God as a seed implanted within their hearts! Christians are saved by the Word of God! We are People of The Word! This is o...

What are you waiting for in your life right now? Are you waiting well? Is there a Christian way to wait? How are you speaking, acting, and thinking while you wait? How long are you willing to wait? What if all of our "smaller waitings" in life could reflect our "biggest waiting" for Jesus to return?! What if we practiced our waiting for The Day of The Lord in each of our day-to-day waitings? If we...

The 50 days following Jesus' resurrection were a time of renewal, rejoicing, and preparation for those first disciples of Christ. For the church today, this season is sometimes called "Eastertide". How will you spend your Eastertide this year? How can you be renewed as you celebrate the risen Christ?!
