New Hope Sermons

When Jesus returns, its not just the end of the world—it’s the beginning of eternity. In the final part of our series, we explore the victorious return of Jesus, not just for His Bride, but with His Bride. From the fall of Babylon to the Millennial Reign, the final defeat of Satan, and the restoration of Eden, the story ends in joy for those who are in Christ. Every knee will bow and heaven will come to earth.

Jesus didn’t just save you from something—He’s bringing you into something eternal. Now is the time to surrender, to live with purpose, and to prepare for restoration. When the King stands up, His return will change everything—forever.

The next time Jesus stands up, He will come back to take His people home. This message is not just about the future—it's about getting ready now. What you believe about the end will change how you live today. We’ll talk about three big things: the promise that Jesus will come back, how we should live while we wait, and why it’s important to tell others about Him.

Jesus wants us to be ready. That means using the gifts He gave us, living in a way that shows His love, and helping others know Him too. We don’t just wait—we get ready. When the King stands up, we want to be found faithful.

On that first Easter morning, the King of Kings didn’t just rise from the grave—He stood up in victory, power, and love. This Easter message dives into what it means when Jesus stands:

He stands to save, declaring salvation for all.

He stands to defend, interceding as our Advocate.

He stands to welcome, inviting us into eternal relationship.

This is more than a resurrection story—it’s a call to rise with Him. He stood for you. Will you rise to meet Him?

What does Jesus see when He looks around—when He looks at you?

Through stories from Mark 11 and Mark 3, we discover that Jesus isn’t just watching—He’s searching hearts. He sees what we hide, the things we’re ashamed of, and the walls we’ve built. And still, He invites us to come close.

Maybe you’ve grown tired. Maybe pride or disappointment is in the way. This message is a reminder that Jesus sees it all, and yet still calls you into healing, freedom, and grace.

Let Him look. Let Him speak. Let Him heal. Let Him in.

Jesus’ look isn’t about judging us—it’s about love. He sees who we really are, calls us to let go of the things holding us back, and invites us to follow Him.

The rich young ruler thought he was doing everything right, but when Jesus told him to give up his wealth and follow Him, he walked away sad. His problem wasn’t money—it was trusting in his riches instead of God. True faith isn’t just about what we do; it’s about where our heart is.

Peter’s story shows how the people around us affect our faith. At first, he followed Jesus from a distance, then sat with those who doubted, and eventually denied knowing Jesus. If we surround ourselves with weak faith, it can weaken us too. But being around strong believers helps us grow.

Even after Peter failed, Jesus looked at him with love. That look changed Peter’s heart. No matter how many times we mess up, Jesus still calls us back to Him.

God is always watching, searching for people who truly follow Him. When He looks at you, will you look back and say yes?

The look of Jesus searches and invites us to something more. He calls the hidden and into healing and the outsider into family.

In this message, we explore what it means to follow Jesus’ orders. When the disciples obeyed His command to cast their net on the right side, they experienced unexpected provision. Jesus then invited them to share their blessing, dine with Him in fellowship, and commissioned Peter to feed His sheep.

This powerful passage reminds us that obedience leads to blessing, purpose, and deeper intimacy with God. No matter where you are, His call remains the same: “Follow Me.”

Life doesn't always go the way we planned. Maybe you’re waiting, working, and wondering if God even sees you. But the story of Ruth reminds us that God is always at work behind the scenes, orchestrating something better than we can imagine.

In today’s message, we explore Ruth’s journey from brokenness to blessing, from waiting to walking in God’s plan. We’ll see how God’s providence is always at play—even in the ordinary, even in the delays, even when we can’t yet see the full picture.

If you’ve ever wondered why things didn’t go according to your plan, this message is for you. God is writing a greater story—one that leads to redemption, restoration, and rejoicing!

Life unfolds in chapters, and we often see someone’s success without recognizing the struggles behind it. In Ruth 4, Ruth’s journey from loss to redemption shows God’s providence at work. Every hardship led her to Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer. But Boaz didn’t just wait—he made a plan and took action. His story reminds us that faith isn’t just hoping; it’s preparing for what’s next.

Prayer shaped Ruth’s story, from Naomi’s blessings to Boaz’s declarations of favor. These faith-filled prayers, combined with trust and wise choices, led to a new chapter. Like Ruth, we are not in our final chapter. When we trust God, make intentional decisions, and stay prayerful, we step into the better story He is writing for us.

What’s your relationship status—with God? In Ruth’s story, we see a pivotal moment where she and Boaz must define their relationship. Just like them, we all reach a point where we must decide—are we just talking, casually interested, or fully committed?

Even if you don’t get everything right, God can still make it right. This message challenges us to trust in God’s timing, pursue relationships with integrity, and, most importantly, define where we stand with Jesus. Is He just a historical figure to you, or is He your Lord, Savior, and King?
