New Hope Christian Church - Whitestown

As we study the final Commandment in Exodus 20:17, one of our interns from this Summer, Jacob Leininger breaks down what it means to covet and how we should be careful in recognizing coveting in our own life as it can be hurtful to our walk with Christ.

Jody Owens joins us from Johnson University to preach through the 9th commandment, and teach us what the Bible says when it discusses bearing a false testimony against a neighbor.

Bryan walks us through the 8th commandment - "You shall not steal." What does stealing look like in today's world? Do we find ourselves caught up in behaviors that ultimately involve theft of time and resources? As followers of Christ, let's focus on handling our personal and professional lives differently from the world.

This week Matt preaches on Exodus 20:14 and the commandment of adultery. In a world where sexual sin is wildly acceptable and accessible, how can we be more intentional about heeding scripture? Join us as we learn that sometimes you have to give up something good, to get something great.

As we continue our study of the Ten Commandments, guest pastor Lee Faust preaches on Exodus 20:13. It may be easy to say that we haven't murdered anyone, but this commandment means more than what is read at face value. Join us as we discuss how our words and hatred toward others can still be murderous to those that God values.

David preaches on Exodus 20:12 and breaks down the commandment of honoring you father and mother. It can be harder to keep this commandment as we age, and many of us have different upbringings. Listen in as we continue through our series "10 Words to Live By".

It can be difficult to find time in our very busy lives to intentionally rest physically, mentally, and spiritually. Join us as Bryan preaches on the commandment given by God to remember the Sabbath in Exodus 20:8-11 and speaks about what our lives would look like if we incorporated God's intention of Sabbath into our lives today.

It can be easy to see the Ten Commandments as a list of rules that make our lives difficult, but what happens when we view them as wisdom from a loving God? Join us as Rob preaches from Exodus 20:3-5, and explains the first few Commandments and how we should use them as guidance for our lives.

The purpose of the Christian life is becoming fully devoted to Jesus - and how we interact with our spouse reflects our devotion to Jesus. Sometimes we start to worship the gift more than the Giver - even the gift of marriage. So what does it look like to become closer to Jesus in our marriages and to point our spouses to know Him more deeply as well?

Marriage is not easy, but thankfully we have the bible to help teach us how to navigate the struggles we may face. Join us as Rob preaches on Genesis 2:24 & Ephesians 5:31-32 and the importance of understanding the concept of covenant in the Bible, and how it can shape marriage.

When we follow Jesus, it changes and transforms how we live. As Matt preaches on 1 Timothy 6:11-16 and verses 20-21, he reminds us of the importance to guard what has been entrusted to our care, and to guard our hearts so that we can be an example of living a godly life, stewarding and multiplying the Kingdom through the Gospel.

If we constantly surround ourselves in the culture of the world, it can be easy to become "nose blind" to spiritual truth. As we dive into 1 Timothy 6:3-10, 17-19, Rob breaks down the warning given by Paul in his letter to Timothy to protect our hearts from the influence of the world.

Rob preaches on 1 Timothy 6:3-10, 17-19, and the danger of money and how it affects our hearts. Join us as we tackle the question: "Which kingdom have you pledged your full and complete allegiance to?"

Rob pauses our series through the book of 1 Timothy to preach on Romans 11:33-12:3. We are an easily distracted people - and anything can create a distraction from what's most important. As a church family, we may be meeting in a new room, but we have the same calling - we are disciples of Jesus focused on making disciples of Jesus.

Rob wraps up 1 Timothy 5 and brings us to the truth of discipleship. "Follow Me" is an invitation to apprentice your life under Jesus, and we see Paul and Timothy living this truth in the letter. In addition, as we prepare our hearts for the last Sunday in our current Worship Center, we turn our hearts towards gratitude and reflect on all that God has done in this space. Rob brings us into a heart...

Rob uses the account of the Resurrection in Luke this Easter Sunday. Because of the Resurrection, everything Jesus said about you was made true. You are loved. You are accepted.

Join Rob as he preaches through Jesus entering Jerusalem at the beginning of Holy Week. As you prepare for Easter, pay attention to the details of the story, and ask yourself - "what is keeping me from following Jesus more closely?"

David Wheeler joins us from the Legacy Coalition to share what the Bible says about leaving a legacy of faith. What does it look like to be intentional? How do we adjust our mindset and approach every single relationship with the goal of drawing them closer to Jesus?

Rob continues in our series “Endure” by preaching through 1 Timothy 4:11-16. He reminds us that our world doesn’t need more experts; we need more examples. Whose example are you following? And whose example are you offering to others?

Rob continues in our series in 1 Timothy by bringing us to the first part of chapter 4. In Paul’s letter, he warns Timothy that in later times people will abandon their faith or follow deceiving truths. What does it look like to train ourselves to be godly in the midst of a sinful world? Ultimately, we work on pursuing godliness from a place of gratitude.

Jim Dalrymple of Ozark Christian College joins us as we continue in our series through the book of 1 Timothy. Chapter 3:14-16 is the heartbeat of the entire letter - it speaks to how we must embody the message of the Gospel. Paul wants the church to be as healthy as possible so that it might be as effective as possible.

Rob continues in our series through the book of 1 Timothy with Paul's instructions regarding those who serve as deacons. If you are going to follow Christ, then things in your life should look different. Ultimately, the call to serve others and the church should be pressing in on every person.

Rob continues our series in 1 Timothy by focusing on what it means to lead in God's Kingdom - and in His church. Chapter 3:1-7 focus specifically on the role of an Elder in the church - the characteristics in this passage describe the fruit of an intentional and intimate connection to Jesus. Ultimately, this kind of leadership is sacrificial and countercultural - the identity of the individual is...
