Hope Church LV Sermons

In this sermon, Pastor Tom preaches from Acts 9:26–31.

In this passage, we see how Saul faced discouragement in his walk with God as he experienced hate from the Jewish leaders and rejection from other Christians. But God provided Barnabas, a fellow Jesus follower who defended him. Rather than giving up, Saul continued to walk in the faith and remain active in sharing the gospel.

At some point, every Jesus follower will experience discouragement from another Jesus follower. This may tempt us to quit our faith, but we must not let the discouragement of others derail our walk with God. He is able to heal and restore what discouragement brings. Pastor Tom also challenges us to be encouragers and defenders of those who've been discouraged in the church.

If you're facing discouragement in your walk with God, check out this message.

In this sermon, Pastor Patrick teaches from Acts 9:19–25 that following Jesus doesn’t mean life will be easier, but it will change your life.

If you’re struggling to share your faith, facing opposition because of what you believe, or wondering how God will carry you through a difficult season, check out this message to be encouraged.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Acts 9:1-19.

On the road to Damascus, Jesus changed Saul’s story, showing us that no one is too far from God’s saving grace and that every Jesus follower has a testimony of God’s transforming grace. No story is too ordinary to reveal the incredible work God has done in our lives.

We studied the story of Philip, an ordinary follower of Jesus who was chosen as one of seven men to make sure widows got food. Through Philip’s obedience to God’s leading and his encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch, we see the importance of living ready to obey God’s call and being equipped in His Word so we can explain the good news of Jesus to those He places in our path.

In this sermon, Pastor Tom McCormick preaches from Acts 8:1–8.

In this passage, we see how God used the persecution and scattering of the early church to advance the gospel beyond Jerusalem. What looked like the church’s darkest days became a launching pad for the gospel, bringing salvation and joy to Samaria and beyond. God is still doing that today.

The persecution we face as Christians, God will use it to spread the gospel and display His glory. Check out this sermon to learn more.

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan Caro preached from 2 Corinthians 5:17-20.

The gospel is more than good news we hear; it is good news that calls for a response, creates a new kind of life, and gives us a new mission. As we look at what it means to live in the reality of Jesus’ resurrection, we’ll discover how the gospel changes us personally and sends us out as ambassadors of reconciliation while we wait for God to make all things new.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preaches from John 3:16.

God’s greatest invitation to us is a love, intimate relationship with Him. We take a look at two stories in the Bible where we see this truth played out: the story of Nicodemus and the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Through their stories, we learn that no matter who you are, what you’ve done, or where you came from, the God of the universe wants a relationship with you!

Have you ever wondered what the story of the gospel is and what it means for you? In this message, Pastor Scott preached from Colossians 1:15-20, and he explained the gospel story in four movements: (1) Creation, (2) Fall, (3) Redemption, and (4) Restoration.

We were also reminded that the gospel is not just the first step to get into the Christian life, but it is the Christian life! As Christians, we don’t move on from the gospel, but continue to live in Christ’s resurrection life and be ambassadors of Christ as we wait from Him to restore all things.
