New Hope Sermons

In this message, Jesus flips our idea of fairness upside down through the parable of the workers in the vineyard. Whether someone comes early or late, the reward is the same—not because it’s earned, but because it’s grace. The Kingdom keeps calling, and no one is too far gone or too late to be welcomed in. Grace doesn’t follow human logic, and sometimes it even offends our sense of justice. But in...

What if everything the world calls “winning” actually puts you last in the Kingdom of God? In this powerful message from Luke 13:28-30, we explore The Great Reversal—where Jesus declares that the last will be first, and the first will be last. From pride and position to humility and heart, Jesus flips the script on what it means to be great. Discover why storing up treasure in heaven, humbling you...

In this message, we explore one of Jesus’ most famous parables—the Parable of the Soils (Matthew 13). While the world tells us to push harder and do more, Jesus reveals a Kingdom truth that’s upside down: it’s not about striving, but about surrender. The softest hearts bear the greatest fruit. What kind of soil is your heart? Is it hard and closed off, shallow and easily scorched by trouble, or cr...

In this message, we explore the radical, upside-down truths Jesus taught in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–12). In a world chasing fame, power, and success, Jesus declares that real blessing comes from humility, mercy, purity, and even persecution. Discover why being “poor in spirit,” mourning over sin, and hungering for righteousness actually lead to deep, lasting joy. Learn how peacemakers become t...

In this message from the Kingdom Logic series, we explore the surprising way God builds His Kingdom—starting small, growing slowly, and transforming everything. Through the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast (Matthew 13), Jesus reveals that what may seem small or insignificant has incredible power to grow and change lives—both around us and within us. From the dirt of humility to the hidde...

In this upside-down message of Jesus, we’re reminded that in the Kingdom of God, giving doesn’t deplete—it multiplies. What if the way to gain more wasn’t by storing and saving, but by trusting and giving? This message explores the radical logic of God’s economy where tithing, generosity, and stewardship aren’t obligations—they’re opportunities to show that Jesus isn’t just our Savior, He’s our Ki...

Jesus said the Holy Spirit is our advantage—and in this final message of The Advantage series, we explore how that advantage shows up in real life through the Fruit of the Spirit. Just like fruit is sweet, nourishing, and full of seeds to reproduce, God designed our lives to taste different—to be a blessing to others, to multiply good things, and to show we belong to Jesus. Discover how to move fr...

In Part 3 of our Holy Spirit series, Pastor Adam reminds us that through the power of the Spirit, you already have everything you need. The Holy Spirit equips every believer with spiritual gifts—not as trophies, but as tools to serve others and build God’s Kingdom. Discover how to recognize your gifts, fan them into flame, and use t...

Who is the Holy Spirit—and what does He actually do in our lives? In Part 2 of our series on the Holy Spirit, Pastor Adam breaks down three powerful truths about the Spirit’s role: He indwells us when we say yes to Jesus, He baptizes us in power for a purpose, and He searches our hearts to guide us into God’s best. This message isn’t about hype—it’s about the everyday help, conviction, and strengt...

What if the greatest help you need is already here? In this message kicking off our new series on the Holy Spirit, we’re reminded that Jesus didn’t leave us alone—He sent the Helper. The Holy Spirit is not weird or distant—He is our Advocate and Advisor, the One who affirms God’s truth and accelerates our spiritual growth. Whether you're facing fear, confusion, or just trying to live faithfully, t...

In Matthew 16:19, Jesus speaks of giving His followers the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. But what are those keys—and how do they impact the way we live today? In this message, we explore nine timeless principles from Scripture that help us live with humility, faithfulness, and spiritual wisdom. From honoring others to guarding our hearts, staying rooted in community, and planting seeds of grace—w...

Today marks more than just the Grand Opening of our South Auburn Location — it marks a reminder of why we exist. At New Hope, we’re here to see lost people found, found people set free, and free people empowered to live out God’s purpose. Pastor Adam walks us through the heart and mission of our church, reminding us that Jesus didn’t just save us—He set us free to thrive, to love, to give, and to...

When Jesus returns, its not just the end of the world—it’s the beginning of eternity. In the final part of our series, we explore the victorious return of Jesus, not just for His Bride, but with His Bride. From the fall of Babylon to the Millennial Reign, the final defeat of Satan, and the restoration of Eden, the story ends in joy for those who are in Christ. Every knee will bow and heaven will c...

The next time Jesus stands up, He will come back to take His people home. This message is not just about the future—it's about getting ready now. What you believe about the end will change how you live today. We’ll talk about three big things: the promise that Jesus will come back, how we should live while we wait, and why it’s important to tell others about Him. Jesus wants us to be ready. That m...

On that first Easter morning, the King of Kings didn’t just rise from the grave—He stood up in victory, power, and love. This Easter message dives into what it means when Jesus stands: He stands to save, declaring salvation for all. He stands to defend, interceding as our Advocate. He stands to welcome, inviting us into eternal relationship. This is more than a resurrection story—it’s a call to ri...

What does Jesus see when He looks around—when He looks at you? Through stories from Mark 11 and Mark 3, we discover that Jesus isn’t just watching—He’s searching hearts. He sees what we hide, the things we’re ashamed of, and the walls we’ve built. And still, He invites us to come close. Maybe you’ve grown tired. Maybe pride or disappointment is in the way. This message is a reminder that Jesus see...

Jesus’ look isn’t about judging us—it’s about love. He sees who we really are, calls us to let go of the things holding us back, and invites us to follow Him. The rich young ruler thought he was doing everything right, but when Jesus told him to give up his wealth and follow Him, he walked away sad. His problem wasn’t money—it was trusting in his riches instead of God. True faith isn’t just about...

The look of Jesus searches and invites us to something more. He calls the hidden and into healing and the outsider into family.

In this message, we explore what it means to follow Jesus’ orders. When the disciples obeyed His command to cast their net on the right side, they experienced unexpected provision. Jesus then invited them to share their blessing, dine with Him in fellowship, and commissioned Peter to feed His sheep. This powerful passage reminds us that obedience leads to blessing, purpose, and deeper intimacy wit...

Life doesn't always go the way we planned. Maybe you’re waiting, working, and wondering if God even sees you. But the story of Ruth reminds us that God is always at work behind the scenes, orchestrating something better than we can imagine. In today’s message, we explore Ruth’s journey from brokenness to blessing, from waiting to walking in God’s plan. We’ll see how God’s providence is always at p...

Life unfolds in chapters, and we often see someone’s success without recognizing the struggles behind it. In Ruth 4, Ruth’s journey from loss to redemption shows God’s providence at work. Every hardship led her to Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer. But Boaz didn’t just wait—he made a plan and took action. His story reminds us that faith isn’t just hoping; it’s preparing for what’s next. Prayer shaped Rut...

What’s your relationship status—with God? In Ruth’s story, we see a pivotal moment where she and Boaz must define their relationship. Just like them, we all reach a point where we must decide—are we just talking, casually interested, or fully committed? Even if you don’t get everything right, God can still make it right. This message challenges us to trust in God’s timing, pursue relationships wit...

How do you know if the person you're with is truly a keeper? The story of Ruth and Boaz reveals four key signs of a godly relationship.

Are you looking for love in a Christ-honoring way? The story of Ruth reveals God’s wisdom for relationships, faith, and His providence.

From the struggles of famine and loss to the faith-filled decision that changed history, this sermon unpacks the i...
