New Hope Sermons

Throughout the Bible, we see that God has many names. But what do these names mean? In this new series, we'll explore the Names of God, and what they mean for us today.

In this message, Pastor Adam shares about El Elyon, God Most High.

As we continue our study on the Full Armor of God, we come to the Sword of the Spirit, the first and only offensive weapon!

Paul tells us that this Sword is the Word of God (the Bible). In this message, Pastor Diehl gives us three ways to use the Bible when we face spiritual problems:

We Pray It, We Obey It, and We Say it.

The helmet was one of the most important pieces of a Roman soldier's armor. It provided the soldier with identity (commanders would know which unit was which because of the helmet) and protection.

We too have a helmet! Faith in Jesus changes who we are, and this helmet also protects our minds.

In this message, we learn how to focus on our mind being saved and drive out (or "take captive"!) any thoughts that aren't pleasing to God. We can BE saved but not THINK saved.

Do you find yourself struggling to hold onto your faith in the face of doubts and fears? Join us as we explore the power of the Shield of Faith in spiritual warfare. Discover how to activate and strengthen your Shield of Faith in practical ways. Let’s learn how to stand firm and walk in victory through the power of the Shield of Faith.

Shoes may seem an odd choice for Paul to mention as part of the Armor of God, but they're actually critically important!

The footwear of a Roman soldier wasn't just slipped on - they were tied on. They had cleats on the bottom that were sharp. These shoes provided stability and mobility for the soldier and the cleats allowed them to stand firm when the enemy attacked. Ephesians 6 (and many other scriptures) tell us to “stand firm” and “go.” We need to do this with the Gospel of Peace!

In this message, Pastor Diehl shares what Paul's metaphor means for us today, and what it means that these are the "Shoes of Peace".

In the spiritual realm, there are no punches pulled when it comes to protecting our heart, mind and emotions. The devil knows how vulnerable we are and will do everything he can to take us down.

In this message, Pastor Diehl shares what Paul means when he talks about the Chestplate of Righteousness, and how it can help protect us against the attacks of the enemy.

A Roman soldier with a shield, helmet, breastplate, and sword might be intimidating. But without his belt, he wouldn’t be prepared for battle. It would be hard to move around with all those other pieces on his body!

Like the soldier, without this part of your armor, everything else will fall apart. It strengthens and stabilizes the core, rooted in a foundation that is absolute — God's truth.

In today's message, Pastor Diehl shares how we can make sure that we are building our lives on the foundation of God's Truth.

There is an often-overlooked reality that as Christians, we are caught up in an unavoidable spiritual war.

Though the fate of our enemy has been decided, the battle rages on. We must not hesitate to make use of the armor and weapons that God has given us to fend off Satan's attacks and press on to victory.

In this message, Pastor Adam lays out the ways we can prepare for this spiritual war.

We all like to worry, don't we? Money, friends, relationships, jobs, kids - we worry about all kinds of things. But worry is a trap - and it's a trap we can avoid.

In this sermon, we'll look at Lesson #7, where Jesus surrendered his day to God and let it go. He placed all He was in the hands of the Father.

He showed us what it looked like to suffer and surrender. So, can we finally surrender our day to God and let it go? Let's put our life in His hands and trust that we are safe with Him.

Jesus showed His humanity by admitting His need for help, and we too can learn from His example. Rather than trying to hide our needs, we can embrace them and seek help from those around us.

In this message, Pastor Diehl highlights the importance of acknowledging our needs and vulnerability as humans, and recognizing that we cannot go through life alone.

The church, as a community of believers, provides a safe space where we can be ourselves and receive support from others.
