New Hope Christian Church Podcast

Today, we go deeper with INTERFERENCE. Because once you accept that God is still speaking, the next question is harder: what's actually drowning Him out in your life?   Distraction. Busyness. Old wounds. Other voices shouting louder than His. Let’s find out together — and learn how to clear it.

STATIC begins today.  For six weeks, we're stepping into something we believe will change the way you hear God — not just on Sundays, but every day. Because here's what we've discovered: God didn't stop speaking. We've just gotten buried in noise — distraction, pressure, fear, and a thousand voices competing for our attention.  Anchored in John 10, where Jesus says His she...

Before Jesus performed a single miracle, before He preached a single sermon, before the cross — the Father had already spoken. "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."  Many of us spend our lives trying to earn a voice that has already been spoken over us.  Today on Father's Day, we're stepping into that moment at the Jordan River to discover what the Father truly s...

As we continue our Christ in Me series, last Sunday we were reminded that the Christian life is not built on occasional encounters with God, but on a daily walk with the Holy Spirit. We learned that walking in the Spirit begins with surrender, grows through awareness of His presence, and matures through reflection and obedience. God is not looking for perfection—He is inviting us into partnership....

 As we continue our Christ in Me series, we come to a message that may be one of the most practical and life-changing teachings of the entire journey: “Walking in the Spirit – Living a Spirit-Led Life Every Day.” Many believers experience God in powerful moments during worship, prayer, or church services. But God's desire is not only that we encounter Him occasionally—it is that we walk with...

Our journey through the Christ in Me series continues with a powerful message: “The Anointing – Empowered for Purpose and Ministry.”  The Holy Spirit does not only live within us to comfort, guide, and transform us—He also empowers us to fulfill God’s purpose. Throughout Scripture, the anointing was given to ordinary people so they could accomplish extraordinary things for God. The same Holy Spiri...

Today we continue our powerful series, CHRIST in me , on the Holy Spirit with Week 4: “The Gifts of the Spirit – God’s Power Through You.”  Over the past few weeks, we discovered that the Holy Spirit does not just change what you do—He changes who you are. He forms the character of Jesus inside of us. But next week, we shift from character… to power.  Because the Holy Spirit does not only work in...

Today we continue our powerful Christ in me series, and we’re excited for the next message: “The Fruit of the Spirit: God’s Character Formed in You.”  So often we focus on what we should do as believers, but God is deeply interested in who we are becoming . Through the Holy Spirit, He is shaping His character within us—producing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentlen...

What a powerful and encouraging start we had to our new series, Christ in Me ! It was incredible to see so many hearts open to the truth that God is not distant, but living within us through the Holy Spirit. There is a fresh sense of expectation in our church as we begin this journey together.  Today, we continue with our second theme: The Person of the Holy Spirit — Not a Force, But a Friend. Thi...

We begin a brand new series called “Christ in Me.” I want to personally invite you to be part of this journey. At the heart of our faith is this powerful truth: God is not distant—He lives in us. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus is present, personal, and active in our everyday lives. Over the next few weeks, we will discover what it truly means to have Christ living in us—how He guides us, strengthe...

 Ephesians 4:22-24; Matthew 6:33; Colossians 3:1-4; Proverbs 3:5-6  What does an airplane's ATTITUDE have to do with the ALTITUDE we attain as a follower of Christ? Any good pilot knows an airplane's ATTITUDE is extremely important to a successful flight. It can even be the difference between life and death! So what does aeronautical ATTITUDE have to do with living the way Jesus wants us...

John 21 Life is full of hills and valleys, moments we are close to God and moments he seems far away. We just celebrated the resurrection of Jesus, but are we living in the light of it? Peter has a wonderful story recounted in John 21 of the grace offered to all of us. We just have to follow Him!

We come to the powerful conclusion of our God First journey—and what a moment this is for us as a church. Over the past weeks, God has been aligning our hearts, challenging our priorities, and calling us deeper. But today, it all comes together with one clear and life-changing truth: God Above All. This is more than a message—it’s an invitation. An invitation to surrender fully, to trust completel...

We are continuing our GOD First journey, and this morning brings us to Session 6: People Above Resources . This message will challenge the way we see value, success, and priority in God’s Kingdom. In a world that often measures everything by numbers, results, and resources, God calls us to place people first—just as He does.  Today’s sermon will help us see how deeply God cares for individuals and...

Thank you to everyone who has continued faithfully on the GOD First journey. It has been encouraging to see so many of you leaning in—attending the sermons, engaging with the daily devotions, and showing up for your Action Groups. Keep going. Spiritual growth happens when we consistently place ourselves where God can shape our hearts.  Today we continue with the fifth message in the series: “Servi...

We are continuing our GOD First series today, and this morning’s message is titled “Bible Above Facts.” In a world overflowing with opinions, information, and constantly changing “truths,” it becomes easy to let culture shape what we believe. But God’s Word invites us to something stronger and more stable. Today, we will explore what it means to build our faith on the unchanging truth of Scripture...

We are heading into the third week of our new series, God First . What an incredible blessing these past two weeks have been already. God is stirring hearts, realigning priorities, and reminding us what it truly means to put Him first.  As a church family, we have made two intentional commitments during this season: We will pray before work and we will tithe before expenses .  There is something p...

What an incredible start to our GOD First journey last week! Thank you to everyone who showed up, leaned in, and took the first step with us. It was inspiring to see our church choose to put God first—starting with prayer above work . I truly believe that when prayer takes first place, everything else begins to realign. I want to encourage you to be diligent and intentional in this journey. The da...

Matthew 6:33 Welcome home—and thank you for showing up today. It truly matters that you are here. In a busy world full of distractions, choosing to be present is already a powerful step of faith. Today we begin a new journey together called GOD FIRST . Over the next seven weeks, we are going to explore what it looks like to put God first—not just in what we believe, but in how we live every day. T...

Gal 6:7-8 What if the direction of your life isn’t determined by one big decision—but by the small, daily things you’re feeding? Our thoughts, fears, habits, and faith are all shaped by what we consistently allow into our hearts. This Sunday’s message, What You’re Feeding Is What’s Growing , will challenge us to look honestly at our inputs and realign them with God’s truth. It’s a practical, faith...

The new year is a time we often use to begin new things - new commitments to health, lifestyle, family, and goals. And in the Scripture, there are numerous references to singing a "new song." What better time to sing new songs than the start of the new year? The word "new," however, in these passages does not always refer to something brand new, but can refer to something that...
