New Hope Community Church

We’ve been studying Joshua 1-6 and learning that God is at work in our lives and wants to move us and our church family forward with the purposes that He has for us. Today, though, we’re going to turn to Joshua 7 and see that there are things that can get in the way of what God has for us. We need to be aware of those pitfalls so we can keep our eyes on the Lord and experience all that He has in s...

The Path to Victory

God is always at work, but there are times that he works in our lives in an especially significant way. Here we turn to Joshua 3-4 as we learn about “Spiritual Markers” that God puts in our lives.

Joshua 3: 6-17As our church is getting ready to move to our new facility, the Lord is leading us through a series of message called “Moving Forward” from Joshua 1-6.When God is leading us forward in our lives, we’ve learned that there are many things He does to prepare us for that, but there does come a point when it’s time to make a move and step out in faith.

New Hope is moving! We're not just moving, though. We're moving forward. When God is calling us to move forward in our lives there are usually some things He wants to do to prepare us for that. Turn to Joshua 3 in your Bible and follow along.

As New Hope prepares to move into a new building, there are many aspects to our move – both practical and spiritual. This is the first of a series of messages from Joshua 1-6 about God’s steps for each of us moving forward.

In the worship services at New Hope, we have been looking at the big three questions that every one of us grapples with in our lives. So far, we have asked, "Who am I?" and "What is my purpose?" Now that we know who we are and why we are alive, we ask the follow-up, "How do I fulfill my purpose?"

Do you ever wonder what your purpose is in this world? Most of the times, life gets the best of us, and we don't have time to think about the bigger picture like that. This series, "Your Three Big Questions," helps us think about some of the biggest questions we all face. The first questions was, "Who Am I?" This message answers the question, "What is My Purpose?&quot...

Each of us share the biggest questions in life. We can’t get around them; we can’t ignore them. We spend our lives seeking to find their answers. In this message series called “Your 3 Big Questions”, we will address them head on – finding our answers only in God’s Word. This message, we will look at how the Bible answers our first question, “Who Am I?”

Easter is the most significant holiday that we celebrate because we remember that Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead. Have you ever thought about this, though... What if there were no Easter? What if Jesus had not done what He did for us? Thinking about it in that way might help us to understand better just how much God has done for us. Turn to God’s Word and think about “What If Ther...

Lent is a season of spiritual preparation leading up to Easter, and historically, one of the biggest emphases during that time has been serving others. What better time of year to think about sacrificially serving others than when we remember the price that Jesus paid for all of us when he carried our sins and died on the cross? In this message, we’re going to think about what Jesus did for us and...

As the Lord prepares our hearts for this time of celebration and victory in the resurrection of Jesus, we continue to look to His Word for direction and focus. In this message in the series “Recapturing Lent,” we will discover what the Bible has to say about fasting and how it can bring focus to our time of preparation.

Every Sunday is Resurrection Day. Really, every day is! Still, Christians have set aside Easter weekend each year to put a special focus on the most important weekend in history. Because of that, many believers all over the world begin preparing their hearts for that for weeks in advance. We hope the Lord is going to use this series of messages to get our hearts ready to get the most we possibly c...

Romans 12: 1-2

Acts 16: 31-34

God wants His Good News of rescuing sinners and giving us a relationship with Him to go to everyone in the world. Amazingly, He has called us to be the ones to get that message out, but many times, we feel so weak and inadequate to do that. Well, it’s true. We can’t do that in our own strength, but He wants to provide us with amazing power to do His work in the lives of others. As we finish up our...

Isaiah 45: 22This is part of a series of messages called “Let the Nations Be Glad”. So far, we’ve talked about how God blesses us so we can be a blessing to others, how God is an amazing God who is worth knowing, and how the Lord intends to get His message of salvation and hope out to the world. Here, we’re going to focus on the goal that God has in all of this. He wants His awesome glory to fill...

Acts 1: 8, Matthew 28: 18-20God has a plan for getting his amazing message out to all the people of the world. Do you know what that plan is? Are you allowing God to work through your life to accomplish His plan?

Isaiah 40: 12-31Many of us are growing in our relationship with God and understanding more and more about who He is and the plan that He has for our lives. The more that we grow in our understanding of Him, the more we realize what a great God He is! In this series “Let the Nations Be Glad”, we talk about God’s heart for all the peoples of the world to know Him. We turn to Isaiah 40 and learn toge...

Psalm 67Did you know that our God has a heart for all the peoples of the world? He loved us so much that He sent Jesus so that every man, woman, boy, and girl could know God if we put our trust in Jesus. This is the first message in the series, “Let the Nations Be Glad: Grabbing Hold of God’s Heart for All the Peoples of the World.” We learn that, if you are a follower of Jesus, you are going to h...

Exodus 14: 10-14Wouldn't it be nice to have a life GPS to help us make the right decisions and show us the way?

January 15, 2012Pastor Chris Collins interviews missionary to Russia, Amanda Swanson

Are you finished yet, or is God still working on you? Those who have found life in Jesus Christ have been set free from the bondage of sin and legalism so that we may serve one another in love and peace.

New Year’s. In some ways, it’s just another date on the calendar. In other ways, though, it marks a beginning point. The Bible says that there are seasons, stages, phases of life. As we welcome in a new year, we’re going to turn to God’s Word in Job 42 and talk about “Starting Over”. That’s the place many of us are in our lives. Some things have happened; some water is under the bridge. Now, it’s...
