New Hope Sermons

Throughout the Bible, we see that God has many names. But what do these names mean? What can they teach us about God? In this series, we're exploring the Names of God, and what they mean for us today. In this message, Jamie Garner shares about Jehovah, the Self-Revealing God.

As we continue our study on the Full Armor of God, we come to the Sword of the Spirit, the first and only offensive weapon! Paul tells us that this Sword is the Word of God (the Bible). In this message, Pastor Diehl gives us three ways to use the Bible when we face spiritual problems: We Pray It, We Obey It, and We Say it.

The helmet was one of the most important pieces of a Roman soldier's armor. It provided the soldier with identity (commanders would know which unit was which because of the helmet) and protection. We too have a helmet! Faith in Jesus changes who we are, and this helmet also protects our minds. In this message, we learn how to focus on our mind being saved and drive out (or "take captive"!) any tho...

Do you find yourself struggling to hold onto your faith in the face of doubts and fears? Join us as we explore the power of the Shield of Faith in spiritual warfare. Discover how to activate and strengthen your Shield of Faith in practical ways. Let’s learn how to stand firm and walk in victory through the power of the Shield of Faith.

Shoes may seem an odd choice for Paul to mention as part of the Armor of God, but they're actually critically important! The footwear of a Roman soldier wasn't just slipped on - they were tied on. They had cleats on the bottom that were sharp. These shoes provided stability and mobility for the soldier and the cleats allowed them to stand firm when the enemy attacked. Ephesians 6 (and many other s...

In the spiritual realm, there are no punches pulled when it comes to protecting our heart, mind and emotions. The devil knows how vulnerable we are and will do everything he can to take us down. In this message, Pastor Diehl shares what Paul means when he talks about the Chestplate of Righteousness, and how it can help protect us against the attacks of the enemy.

A Roman soldier with a shield, helmet, breastplate, and sword might be intimidating. But without his belt, he wouldn’t be prepared for battle. It would be hard to move around with all those other pieces on his body! Like the soldier, without this part of your armor, everything else will fall apart. It strengthens and stabilizes the core, rooted in a foundation that is absolute — God's truth. In to...

There is an often-overlooked reality that as Christians, we are caught up in an unavoidable spiritual war. Though the fate of our enemy has been decided, the battle rages on. We must not hesitate to make use of the armor and weapons that God has given us to fend off Satan's attacks and press on to victory. In this message, Pastor Adam lays out the ways we can prepare for this spiritual war.

We all like to worry, don't we? Money, friends, relationships, jobs, kids - we worry about all kinds of things. But worry is a trap - and it's a trap we can avoid. In this sermon, we'll look at Lesson #7, where Jesus surrendered his day to God and let it go. He placed all He was in the hands of the Father. He showed us what it looked like to suffer and surrender. So, can we finally surrender our d...

Jesus showed His humanity by admitting His need for help, and we too can learn from His example. Rather than trying to hide our needs, we can embrace them and seek help from those around us. In this message, Pastor Diehl highlights the importance of acknowledging our needs and vulnerability as humans, and recognizing that we cannot go through life alone. The church, as a community of believers, pr...

This message combines two things we can learn from some of the last words of Jesus. When we combine these two lessons, we see that while we may not have all the answers to our hard questions, we can have assurance in God's plan and purpose for our lives.

Even in the midst of his own suffering, Jesus showed concern and care for others. It's a reminder to us to not get so caught up in our own struggles that we forget about the needs and well-being of those around us. Helping others can bring us a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and can shift our focus away from our own problems. In this message, Pastor Diehl shares how we can support and assist ot...

Sometimes it seems like there are people who are out to ruin our life. Offenses like a betrayal, rejection, abuse, and humiliation are normal for the believer. But we can take comfort in knowing that our pain has been also been experienced by God. When He was on the Cross, Jesus said "Father forgive them", and that's the attitude we should have too. In this message, Pastor Adam shows us how we can...

Jesus was a model of perfect, sacrificial love. This message looks at how we can love like Jesus by loving the outcasts, loving our enemies, loving through boundaries, and loving the Father.

Waiting for God's promises is one of the hardest parts of the Christian life. Whether you're single and praying for a spouse, or you're believing for another promise from God, trusting in God's timing is not easy for us. This message, based on the life of Abraham, will answer the questions of, "What do we do while we're waiting?" and "How do we live while we're waiting on the promise?".

Often, especially in the church, sex is treated as something shameful. But God created sex, and within the bounds of marriage it's a good thing! The fact remains that we have an enemy, and he is a counterfeit! This message will look at how Satan counterfeited God’s good plans for marriage and sex, and how we can set things right again.

As Christians we are called to love each other and live in community together. But what exactly is community, and what does Authentic Community look like? In this message, taken from the life of King David, Pastor Diehl shares the answers to these questions.

At this time of year, love is definitely something many of us think about. But what is love, really? Our culture has ideas about what love is, but in this message Pastor Adam shares what the Bible has to say about love.

As we wrap up our series on Prayer for Normal People, Pastor Frank shares a message to help us ask and yield to God, two elements that lead to a life of prayer. When we pray, we can ASK God for things (for yourself and for other people), as He is a loving Father. At the same time, we need to YIELD (surrender) to His will and direction in our lives. Accepting His will, even when it may not be what...

The idea behind “rejoice” is that God enjoys being with us and we should enjoy being with him - but often it doesn’t feel that way. We often imagine God as this big angry man ready to punish us - but He’s actually a wonderful loving father ready and waiting to pour His life into us. Prayer is not punishment - it’s life!

We can’t get away from it. The world is moving faster and faster. We’re always on the go. But how do we slow down? How do we pause amidst the chaos to hear God’s voice? In this message, Pastor Diehl provides a simple reminder that if we want to hear from God we need to stop, breathe and listen to God. Our times of prayer will be much more effective when we learn to Pause.

Prayer is one of the most important ways that we can engage with God. But, for many of us, prayer can seem difficult, confusing, or even not that important. In this message, Pastor Adam shares about why prayer is so important, and ways we can make room for prayer in our lives.

To kick off 2023, Pastor Diehl shares a message with four ways to make sure we don't take the last year's hurt into the new year.
