New Hope Christian Church - Whitestown

We live in a world where the desire for "the good life" is heavy. As Rob preaches on James 1:9-11, we learn that we should strive to have the kind of good life that only God can give, for the world's idea of the good life will leave us empty.

Rob kicks off our new series in James 1:1-8 where we learn about having joy even during trials. It's not easy to have an initial reaction of joy when we face difficult times, but if we walk daily with the Lord and make our days count for Him, we can find joy in the process.

Join us as we ring in the New Year with guest speaker Ryan King. In Matthew 7:24-27 we read about the wise man who built his house on the rock. We should strive to continually build our life on the firm foundation of Jesus and His Word.

As we complete our Advent Series this Christmas Eve, Rob preaches on Genesis 2:9 and Revelation 22:1-2. We know that we feel longing for something, but until we choose to pursue the light, we will never be able to satisfy that longing we feel for it can only be satisfied through a relationship with Jesus.

As Matt preaches on 1 John 4:7-21, we focus on the advent word love, and how God's great love for us is one that we still at times can't fathom. Yet, through the wonderful gift of Jesus, we can experience unfailing love when we choose to have a relationship with Jesus.

As Rob continues in our Advent series, we focus on the word joy. The world offers many temporary things that may bring the feeling of joy, but a lasting joy comes from resting in Jesus' presence and longing for Him despite our circumstances.

Many of us confuse worldly peace and heavenly peace. As Rob preaches on Luke 2:1-19, we learn that the peace given by Jesus is so much different than what most understand it to be, which begs the question: "Are you chasing after the right kind of peace?"

As we kick off our new series of Advent, David preaches on Matthew 1, and the birth of Jesus. What a thrill of hope; to know that we have been given a savior who cares for us and provides.

When we face difficulties, it can be hard to see the good in them. As Rob finishes our series in the book of Titus, we learn that if we trust in God and lean into obedience, then He can bring honey out of the rock.

As Rob preaches on Titus 3:1-8, we learn that we should be intentional in walking with Christ so that a watching world may understand that God is good through our actions and choices. We can't overcome sin on our own, but with Christ, we can walk toward a transformed life.

Every year we set aside a specific Sunday to highlight our missionaries - both local and global - and to focus on what it means for us to live on mission every single day. Rob walks us through 2 Corinthians 5 and reminds us that God has ALWAYS been on mission to bring people to himself. We leave encouraged to do more to reach those around us for the Kingdom.

This Sunday, Rob preaches on Titus 2, which reminds us of the importance of unity across generations within the church family. Are you intentionally searching for those who are wiser to pour into your spiritual life? Are you guiding and instructing the next generation in biblical truth?

As we kick off our new series in Titus, Rob preaches on Titus 1, where we learn about the narrow road that we will walk as followers of Christ- that we shouldn't stray from that road when it gets difficult, but be so rooted in scripture so we can navigate it well.

We were not made to be alone - we are designed to be in relationship with one another. As Rob preaches on 2 Timothy 4:9-22, we are challenged to be known by others and to be intentional with who we surround ourselves with in our everyday lives.

As Christians, we have a responsibility to be intentional with how we live and the words that we say. This Sunday, Bryan preaches on 2 Timothy 4:1-8 and encourages us to be wise with the time given to us, to share the good news of the Gospel, and to finish well.

Join us as we continue our Endure series. This week for our Outdoor Service, Matt preaches on 2 Timothy 3:14-17 and the importance of reading scripture as a daily discipline in our lives so that we may be equipped when we face persecution.

This week, Rob preaches through 2 Timothy 3:10-13 - We face immense pressure in our world to form to the culture around us. As Christians, we must fix our eyes on Jesus and His example - being transformed to His Image.

Listen in as Rob preaches through 2 Timothy 3:1-9 - a text where Paul warns Timothy about issues facing the church. Will we have the courage to stand apart in the midst of a culture that encourages us to join the crowd?

As Rob preaches on 2 Timothy 2:22-26, we read that we should pursue a life of humility, and flee from a life full of pride and selfish desire. A peace-filled life begins from a place of humility. Are we striving to be peacemakers with our words and actions?

This Sunday, Rob preaches on 2 Timothy 2:14-21 and living a life of integrity. We have the potential to let God work in and through our lives to paint a masterpiece, but we have to be cautious with the kind of influences we expose ourselves to. What kind of painting do you want your life to reflect?

As we continue our study of 2 Timothy, Rob preaches on the story of Paul and his suffering and how despite all of that, Paul continues to be obedient, resulting in a testimony for a watching world, and encouragement for fellow believers. How can we live a life in submission to Jesus?

In the midst of our very busy schedules, it can be easy to neglect feeding our spiritual life. As Rob preaches on John 15:1-5, we must remember that our primary job as followers of Jesus is to stay attached to the vine in order to produce fruit. We are incapable of doing it ourselves, so we must abide in Jesus and live a life that glorifies Him.

This week, Rob preaches on 2 Timothy 1:8-14 and the beautiful example laid out by Paul of living life boldly for Christ. Because of the Gospel, and because we believe it is true, we should live boldly and unashamed with the mindset of eternity rather than going through the motions here on Earth. If we know God, then we should be convicted to live boldly for Him.

As we continue in our Endure series, Rob preaches on Matthew 4:17 and 2 Timothy 1:2-7 breaking down the importance of living a life conformed to the ways of Jesus, and repenting by turning away from our sin and pursuing God wholeheartedly. But it's not just turning away from sin, it's living a life completely different than before. Stop. Repent. Reorient.

Join us as David starts us back on our Endure series, and preaches on putting our hope in Jesus, and the joy that is the gift of eternal life with Him.
