New Hope Christian Church - Whitestown

As we continue in our Summer in the Psalms, David Bourne preaches through Psalm chapter 3. In the middle of a crisis - in the middle of one of the worst moments of his life - King David makes a declaration of faith by acknowledging God's sustaining grace and protection. We are reminded through this moment in David's life that we do not have to walk through our trials alone - that our God is always...

Don Keehner continues in our series in the Psalms and preaches through the first 5 verses of Psalms 103. Through this powerful passage, we praise God for the way he forgives, heals, redeems and crowns. It's all too easy for us to forget all the good things that God has done for us. We must continually recognize our need for a Savior - and praise God for rescuing us from our sin.

Join Lee Faust as he preaches on Psalm 139 in our Summer in the Psalms series. We walk through Psalm 139 and study the way the psalmist beautifully points to who God is, what He is like, and what He thinks about us.

Join us as we continue in our Summer in the Psalms series and study Psalm 19. Matt walks us through the 14 verses of chapter 19. This chapter begins by describing the majesty of God through Creation, and ends with a prayer to examine the heart. This message convicts us with the following truth: we are created to live in the Presence of God, and the more we know Him, the easier it is to see the dif...

Psalm 51 captures King David's prayers of repentance after the prophet Nathan visited him about his sin with Bathsheba. As Rob examines this psalm with us, we are convicted with the truth that sin is an identity issue - it is trying to replace God with something else. As Christians, how do we deal with our sin? What does it look like to confess, to pray for restoration, and ultimately, to walk in...

Join us on Father's Day as Rob preaches through Psalm 127. This passage reminds us that the point of an arrow is to be aimed at something - and we are responsible for how we aim the children, our family and our community for His mission, not ours. Ultimately, we are faced with the question - what is it that you are working for?

Every day we are faced with the decision to choose the path of wisdom or the path of foolishness. The only way to continue to make this daily choice is to orient our lives around God's Word. Is the primary focus of your life to seek God's Heart?

Dr. Jody Owens from Johnson University visits New Hope to kick off our Summer in the Psalms series. Dr. Owens shares that the theme of the book of Psalms is "Blessed" - how to live a blessed life. He dives into the first chapter of Psalms to help explain what it means to walk in righteousness despite the way of the many. Do you really believe that God's teaching and instruction is the path to the...

Join us as Rob preaches through the second half of John chapter 5, and as we are reminded that the point of Scripture is Jesus. Do you read the Bible to know God or to know about Him? Is Jesus what makes your life make sense?

Rob continues in our series through the Gospel of John and walks us through John 4:43-54. First, we take a look at the context of chapter 4 - recognizing that the entire chapter focuses on the theme of Jesus as Living Water. The story of the official's son causes us to ask a couple important questions - Am I trusting in God or in what God can do for me? Do I take Jesus at His word? Or do I trust H...

How do we get to a place where our egos are so healthy that we don't even notice them? Rob preaches through John 3:22-36, where we see John the Baptist display what it looks like to put all the attention on Jesus. Listen in as we focus on what it looks like to exhibit Gospel humility.

Join us as we dive back into our chronological study of the Gospel of John. Steve White is our guest preacher and shares the story of Nicodemus in John 3:1-15. What does it mean to be born again? How does this Truth change the way we live on a daily basis?

Join us on this beautiful Easter Sunday as Rob walks us through John 11:1-44. Jesus returns to Bethany four days after the death of Lazarus and brings us our final I AM statement in this series: I Am the Resurrection and the Life. On this Easter morning, we are reminded that death is the great enemy - and there is only one person who has defeated the great enemy. As believers, when we walk through...

This week is Palm Sunday, and we start Holy Week by looking at John 14:1-14 and Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life. This passage documents Jesus' final night with his disciples, which causes us to lean in even closer for this powerful message. As we prepare our hearts for Easter, we remember that there is no other way to get to God except through Jesus - and intimacy with the Father is throu...

Join us as Bryan continues in our I AM Series and walks us through Jesus' statement - "I am the True Vine." John 15:1-17 captures the key words that Jesus shared with his disciples on the night he was betrayed. We lean in - along with the disciples - to hear these important words of Jesus, and we are challenged to remain in Him.

Matt continues in our series studying the 7 "I Am" statements of Jesus that are recorded in the Gospel of John, by preaching through John 8:12-20. This passage focuses on Jesus as the Light of the World. Sin is the darkness - that which separates us from God. Listen in as Matt shares the Truth that Jesus removes the darkness of sin in our lives, and as he challenges us with the importance of Godly...

Rob continues in our I AM series and takes us through John 10:11-21. The sheep know the shepherd so intimately - they recognize his voice apart from any other. As we seek to know the Shepherd, will we allow our mind and soul to be controlled by regret and pain or will we trust the Good Shepherd to restore our souls?

Rob continues through our I AM series within the Book of John. The voices we listen to have an incredible impact on who we become. Sheep are mentioned over 300 times in the Bible, and we are often compared to these sheep - it's easy just to blindly follow what is in front of us. John 1:1-10 teaches us that we know the Shepherd's Voice. What do you need to do to reconnect to the Shepherd?

Rob kicks off our 7-week mini series within our study of the book of John titled "I Am: Jesus in His Own Words." The 7 "I Am" statements in John answer the question of why people should come to know Jesus. Every statement we will study in this series is accompanied by an event or miracle, and an explanation in Scripture of how Jesus is the better version of that miracle. As we study John 6:22-71,...

Join us as Rob preaches through John 2:13-25 - the story of Jesus visiting the temple. Through this passage we gain a better understanding of the authority of Jesus. Jesus experienced anger in a way that was completely void of sin. Listen in as Rob describes what the righteous anger of Jesus looks like, and what it meant for him to become the true and better temple.

Rob introduces the first miracle of Jesus' ministry on earth in John 2:1-12. John's purpose in sharing these miracles is to point to the validity of who Jesus is. The wedding miracle in particular points to the fact that Jesus satisfies in the midst of uncertainty.

Join us as we continue in our series in the Gospel of John and Rob preaches through John 1:35-42. The invitation of Jesus is to come on an adventure that will change who we are. As disciples of Jesus, we then invite others to come and see, to follow me and to stay and remain.

Rob preaches through John 1:29-34 - the account of Jesus being baptized by John. We study John the Baptist's testimony about Jesus and how Christ became the ultimate scapegoat. The baptism of Jesus affirmed all that had been said about who he was and why he was coming. Listen as we study the moment that would set the stage for Jesus' ministry on Earth.
