New Hope Sermons

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, Pastor Adam shares a message about what the gifts given by the Wise Men tell us about Jesus.

Whether we recognize it or not, God interacts with each of us. In today's message, Pastor Diehl helps us see how God gets to where He’s least expected and most needed (the darkest places need the most light!), even if we don't expect it or think we need it, or have much room for Him in our lives.

In this message, Pastor Adam looks at what we can learn when God revealed himself fully to man. Our doubt can creep in and we can feel uncertain in life -- how should we deal with this uncertainty and doubt?

The Story of Christmas is about how God came to earth at just the right time to save people from their sins. In this message, Pastor Diehl shares 4 things we can learn about this "Divine Appointment".

Saul did not take his Donkey Mission alone! This message will help us understand how God uses other people in our lives to transform us.

We ALL make excuses without realizing we're doing it! Saul made an excuse because he was looking at what COULDNT while his servant was looking at what COULD happen. This message will help people look beyond their earthly struggles and have FAITH that God is up to something good.

In Saul's donkey mission, he visited a place from his past. Now, Saul had a great deal of promise and a bright future, but it didn't go well for him later on .. at all. Could this be because Saul's past hurts were still affecting him? Our past hurts and disappointments can affect our life TODAY. We're not talking about getting past it, forgetting it, or even "letting it go." We're talking about Go...

This message looks at a promising young man, Saul, who before discovering his great purpose in life is sent on a "Donkey Mission" that leaves him thinking, "What's the point?!" This message will help us understand the point behind the mundane processes in our life and find greater purpose.

We are called to be ambassadors for Jesus. Many people are intimidated by the idea of sharing their faith with non-Christians, but evangelism doesn't have to be scary or difficult. In this message Pastor Diehl lays out three practical, and positive, ways to share our faith.

When Jesus left, he sent the Holy Spirit to give us power. Power for what? Power to be witnesses! This message will look at four groups of people we are called to be witnesses to.

When we know our purpose is outside of ourselves - we will be filled up when we pour out. People are so consumed with “self”; when all we are living for is ourselves and our wants and needs and desires, we will run low on oil really quickly. Only when you invest your time, talent, and treasure will your realize how full you can really be.

Today we continue our series on "Oil Reserves". In Scripture, oil represents the Holy Spirit and the spiritual life that God gives us. Pastor Diehl shows us 6 types of people in our lives who have oil and can help us get some for ourselves. Remember, we don't get oil from others...But others who have oil know where we can find some!

Many times Christians make the mistake of thinking that participating in Sunday services is enough for a strong devotional life. However, just like our bodies would be weak if we only fed them every 7 days, our spirits need daily nourishment to keep our "oil reserves" full. In this message, Pastor Todd lays out three primary methods to make sure that our private devotional lives fill our reserves.

We all have our own “leaks” of our oil reserves. 3+ hours of screens, Netflix, podcasts, scrolling, video games, Youtube videos, social media, smartphone games, news programs… you’re gonna run out of oil if you’re spending over 20 hours a week there but only filling up with oil once a week at church. In this message, Pastor Diehl discusses those and other leaks, and shows us how we can stop those...

This sermon explores the Parable of the Ten Virgins, found in Matthew 25. In this parable, Jesus warns us about being "ready" for His return. But what does it mean to be ready? And how can we know when it's time to begin getting ready? We'll also address some common misconceptions about what it means to be "ready" for Christ's return. Finally, we'll answer two key questions: What is oil and why do...

Pastor Adam shares a message from our Encounter Night September 11, 2022.

Some things just go together. Some things are fine on their own, but when they partner together something simply amazing happens. In this message, Pastor Adam shares how Israel partnered together with God and each other to cross the Jordan in Joshua 3 and 4.

We'll look at 7 little-known Basics of Christianity that every Christian must know or be disheartened. Knowing these Basics can help us survive troubles in our faith.

The conclusion of Jesus’ great sermon employs four contrasts to illustrate that there are only two ways available to us - a right way and a wrong way - to respond to his message: narrow versus broad gates and roads, false teachers vs. true, good versus bad fruit, and building on rock versus building on sand. In this message we will unpack each of those analogies to see what Jesus was trying to tea...

The Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Most of us have heard this rule many times before. But what does it mean? How do we put it into practice? And why is it so important? In this message, we'll look at why Jesus gave this command, and what it means for our lives today.

Many Christians have a hard time living holy lives because they think God will be mad if they don’t. What we need to remember is that God doesn't expect us to live holy because we fear him, fear what he'll do to us if we don't, or fear what others will say about us. He wants us to live holy because we love him and want to be near him. In Matthew 6:1-18, Jesus continues his sermon on the mount and...

In the sermon on the mount, Jesus uses two metaphors to describe how his followers should live: Salt and Light. Followers of Jesus do not merely exist in their world — they positively impact it and make a difference. They Make Waves!

The Old Testament Law was given to the Jews by God as His guidelines for how they should live. Over time, following "the rules" became more important than the reason for them. When Jesus came, He reminded everyone that while people tend to look at what people do, God looks at our hearts and motivations too.

The Beatitudes are Kingdom Blessings that disclose God’s gracious favor toward his followers. These traits, like God's Kingdom, are counter-cultural; unlike what normally gains popularity in our world, the Beatitudes demonstrate what God values.
