Why did Jesus have to die such a brutal death? In this powerful message, Pastor Mike Stevens walks us through the Crucifixion — a pivotal moment in The Road to Redemption. From prophecy to purpose, we explore how Jesus' death was not a tragic accident, but part of God’s divine design, reconciling His justice and His unshakable love.

This sermon cuts through confusion and cultural noise, revealing the truth behind the Cross: sin demanded a price — and God Himself paid it. With scripture-rich insight, Pastor Mike highlights the tension between holy justice and perfect love, urging us to step off the wide road and onto the narrow path that leads to life. Discover how the blood of Christ protects, redeems, and sets us free.

🎯 Crisp. Clear. Life-changing.

"The Road to Redemption" is a powerful sermon series exploring God’s plan for salvation, and this is just the beginning! In Part 1, we focus on John the Baptist, the messenger sent to prepare the way for Jesus. His message was urgent and clear: Repent!—turn your heart back to God—and Be Baptized! as a public sign of transformation. John lived outside the norms of society, yet he was deeply in tune with God’s Spirit, calling people to genuine faith rather than empty religion.

John’s mission wasn’t about himself but about pointing people to Jesus. His message still speaks to us today—revival begins with repentance. As we dive into this series, let’s examine our own hearts. Are we ready for the Lord? Are we willing to turn from distractions and truly follow Jesus? If so, let’s take action—seeking deeper faith, embracing baptism, and preparing the way for what God wants to do in our lives. Stay tuned for the rest of this series as we journey through God’s plan of redemption!

Pastor Mike Newcomb's sermon challenges the idea that God "needs" our money. Instead, Jesus desires our hearts, calling us to surrender every aspect of our lives—including our finances. Many people struggle with "Spiritual Compartment Syndrome," where they give Christ their afterlife but resist giving Him control over their thought life, time, and money. However, true spiritual formation begins with Christ in us, shaping our thinking and ultimately transforming our behavior. When we embrace this, financial stewardship becomes an act of worship rather than obligation.

Biblical principles show that honoring God with our finances brings His grace and favor, making generosity a win-win for both the giver and the church. At Good Hope Church, "Spirit-Led Giving" encourages believers to seek God's guidance rather than feel pressured. The goal is not just to fund a church but to shift from a consumer mindset to a commitment to the cause of Christ. Ultimately, God doesn’t need our money—He desires our hearts.

When life throws unexpected pain our way, it can shake our faith. “Lord, I love You, so why did that happen?” Scripture is full of both miraculous rescues and tragic losses. The reality is, while we are not promised a life without suffering, we are promised that Jesus will walk with us through it. The key is to move from asking “Why?” to “What now?”—trusting that God can bring growth, healing, and redemption from our trials. Like Mary and Martha, we may struggle when God doesn’t act as we expect, but the end of this life is not the end of the story for those who trust in Jesus.

Embracing grief is a necessary step toward healing, just as the Bible shows us. But eventually, faith must be added to our pain so that suffering leads to perseverance, character, and hope. Paul reminds us in Philippians that to live is Christ and to die is gain—either way, we are called to stand firm in faith. If you’re in a season of heartache, may you find peace, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose in the Lord.
