New Hope Christian Church - Whitestown

C.S. Lewis says, "God's people need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed." And food is one of God's favorite ways to help his people remember. All throughout Scripture we see how food is received, how it points to the sustaining love of God, and how it draws people together. As you listen in to what God says about food in Scripture, consider who sits at your table and how the exampl...

Casey Scott from Chapel Rock continues in our Summer series with what the Bible says about technology. In our world, technology advances us faster than we may realize, and the danger is allowing it to replace our responsibilities as image bearers of Christ. Technology can be a good thing, but we need to have discernment when we use it.

As we continue in our Summer series, Rob preaches on a handful of verses about manhood according to the Bible. There is a high calling of humility and discipline, but the Lord does not make us walk it alone.

We continue our study in Genesis and the life of Abraham with Genesis 17. It can be hard to face trials in our life without full understanding, but we need to trust God by giving Him control, and allowing ourselves to learn in the process.

This week, Rob preaches on Genesis 15:1-17. We are a people so easily distracted. The more we give in to distraction, the less we remember and reflect. We need to slow down, look up, and move forward in our relationship with the Lord.

As we continue our series in Genesis, Rob preaches on Genesis 13:5-13. Abram was rewarded for trusting the Lord and His plan, Lot chose to take control, and in the end, his land was destroyed. Following the Lord and trusting His plan can feel lonely and difficult, but we know the Lord is faithful and he honors those who trust in Him.

This Easter, as we reflect on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, doing what we could never do for ourselves, we celebrate that He is ALIVE! He wants nothing more than to have a personal relationship with you. Will you choose to follow Jesus? Or turn back to him after drifting away? He waits for you, with arms wide open.

Guest speaker and lead pastor of Plainfield Christian Church, Luke Proctor, continues our series in Genesis with chapter 12 verses 10-20. Abram was on a downward path, trying to write his own story and failing to see how God wanted to use his life. What does it look like to give over control of our life to God, choosing to tell HIS story rather than our own?

As we continue our series, Rob preaches on Genesis 6 and the faithfulness of God in the story of Noah. It may not be easy to always remain faithful, but even when we are faithless, God is faithful. The question is, will you continue to be faithful to your feelings? Or to God?

David preaches on Genesis 4:2-5 and the story of Cain and Abel giving their offering to God. How you offer a gift says a lot about your heart. What kind of posture are you taking when you offer what you have to the Lord?

We live in a broken world. As we continue our series in Genesis 3, Rob preaches on The Fall and the cause of it. The enemy is deceitful and insanely clever, preying on our pride and other vices. We have the choice to resist the enemy and trust in God more than our own pride. What will you choose?

As we read more of the Creation story in Genesis 2:21-25, Rob preaches on the example given to us from God, the originator of marriage and the importance of covenant and marriage through the creation of Adam and Eve.

As we continue through our series with Genesis 1:28-2:20, Rob digs deeper into what it means to be image bearers of God, cultivating and stewarding well what God has entrusted to us as His creation.

We take a break from Genesis because of severe winter weather. Rob shares a devotion rooted in 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8, 4:9-12. As we sat snowed-into our homes, we were asked to consider - "what is God calling you to?" What does it mean for each of us to "live a quiet life?" In the same way Paul encouraged the Christians at Thessalonica, we are encouraged to remain faithful to the call of Christ.

Dr. Jody Owens from Johnson University joins us this Sunday as we read Genesis 1:26-27, and preaches on what it means to be made in the image of God. We were created to mirror the Creator, but there are other things that compete for what we worship. Do you choose the life of reflecting Him and His glory? Or the idols that parody that glory?
