New Hope Tampa Bay Sunday Sermon Podcast

Can God Really Restore What Feels Broken Beyond Repair? (Amos 9)   The book of Amos is a hard read. For eight chapters it's warning after warning — until the very end, when the whole tone changes. In this finale of "Let the Lion Roar," Rev. Vicki Harrison preaches Amos 9:11-15 and the way God chooses to close a difficult book: not with judgment, but with a promise to restore. If you've ever felt l...

What do you do when you realize your worship has drifted into routine — present on Sunday, but disconnected from how you live the rest of the week? In Amos 5, the prophet sings a funeral song over Israel, and then hands them a way out: seek the Lord and live. In this message, Rev. Vicki Harrison traces Amos 5 from its opening dirge to its famous call — "let justice roll on like a river" — and show...

What happens when God keeps calling and we keep not listening? This week, guest speaker Rev. Betty J. Bricker walked New Hope through Amos 4 — the chapter where the whisper becomes a roar. It's a message about comfort that quietly numbs us, worship that makes noise but not music, and the mercy hiding inside hardship — all building to the most important appointment any of us will ever keep.  

When a lion roars at 114 decibels, it jolts you back to reality. In the opening message of the Let the Lion Roar series, Rev. Vicki Harrison walks through Amos 1-2 and asks a question many of us have wrestled with: when we look at the injustice and suffering in our world, does God actually care? The answer Amos gives is yes. God is not silent. He is in pursuit. This message explores who Amos was,...

Pastor Vicki Harrison takes a question she hears all the time and brings it straight to Scripture: What does God actually think about animals? Starting in Genesis 1:24-25, she introduces the Hebrew word  bara  — the special kind of creation God reserves for the heavens and earth, the animals, and humanity. She traces God's care for animals through Noah's ark, then reads through Psalm 104, where th...

What Does It Mean to Pass Your Faith On to the Next Generation?   Pastor Julie Hamilton opens the Legacy Series with a question that's both personal and urgent: Are we just living in the present — enjoying what God is doing right now — or are we intentionally preparing for what comes next? Using Psalm 78:1–7, she frames the church as an extended family, walks through the different roles that make...

Are you performing holiness — or actually living it? Most of us have felt the gap between who we appear to be and who we actually are. Pastor Vicki Harrison opens Matthew 23:23-28 and takes a hard, honest look at what Jesus had to say to the people who had perfected the outward appearance while something entirely different lived underneath. Jesus called them whitewashed tombs. But he said it as gr...

Most of us have the wrong picture of holiness. Pastor Vicki Harrison opens 1 Peter 1:13-16 and shows that being set apart isn't about being religious — it's about looking like your Father.

In this opening message from the Set Apart series, Pastor Roberto Chaple walks through Isaiah 6:1-8 and shows how a vision of God's holiness changes the way we live. The message moves from crisis and instability to revelation, conviction, cleansing, and commission, reminding us that holiness is not a distant religious idea but a practical invitation to become more like Jesus every day. If you have...

On Easter Sunday at New Hope Church, Pastor Vicki Harrison reminded us that the resurrection is not just a past event to celebrate once a year. Jesus is alive, the stone has been rolled away, and that living hope still brings forgiveness, freedom, and new life today.

Palm Sunday is full of celebration, noise, and public praise, but this message asks a sharper question: what happens when followers of Jesus go quiet? Pastor Vicki Harrison walks through Luke 19:37-40 and shows how the joy of Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem confronts the silence that often shapes our witness today. This message is both convicting and hopeful. It invites us to notice the places where f...
