New Hope Sermons

This message combines two things we can learn from some of the last words of Jesus. When we combine these two lessons, we see that while we may not have all the answers to our hard questions, we can have assurance in God's plan and purpose for our lives.

Even in the midst of his own suffering, Jesus showed concern and care for others. It's a reminder to us to not get so caught up in our own struggles that we forget about the needs and well-being of those around us.

Helping others can bring us a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and can shift our focus away from our own problems. In this message, Pastor Diehl shares how we can support and assist others who may be going through similar struggles as us.

Sometimes it seems like there are people who are out to ruin our life.

Offenses like a betrayal, rejection, abuse, and humiliation are normal for the believer. But we can take comfort in knowing that our pain has been also been experienced by God.

When He was on the Cross, Jesus said "Father forgive them", and that's the attitude we should have too.

In this message, Pastor Adam shows us how we can deal with hurt like Jesus did.

Jesus was a model of perfect, sacrificial love. This message looks at how we can love like Jesus by loving the outcasts, loving our enemies, loving through boundaries, and loving the Father.

Waiting for God's promises is one of the hardest parts of the Christian life. Whether you're single and praying for a spouse, or you're believing for another promise from God, trusting in God's timing is not easy for us.

This message, based on the life of Abraham, will answer the questions of, "What do we do while we're waiting?" and "How do we live while we're waiting on the promise?".

Often, especially in the church, sex is treated as something shameful. But God created sex, and within the bounds of marriage it's a good thing!

The fact remains that we have an enemy, and he is a counterfeit! This message will look at how Satan counterfeited God’s good plans for marriage and sex, and how we can set things right again.

As Christians we are called to love each other and live in community together. But what exactly is community, and what does Authentic Community look like?

In this message, taken from the life of King David, Pastor Diehl shares the answers to these questions.

At this time of year, love is definitely something many of us think about. But what is love, really?

Our culture has ideas about what love is, but in this message Pastor Adam shares what the Bible has to say about love.

As we wrap up our series on Prayer for Normal People, Pastor Frank shares a message to help us ask and yield to God, two elements that lead to a life of prayer.

When we pray, we can ASK God for things (for yourself and for other people), as He is a loving Father. At the same time, we need to YIELD (surrender) to His will and direction in our lives. Accepting His will, even when it may not be what we want, will help you stay connected to God in the future.

The idea behind “rejoice” is that God enjoys being with us and we should enjoy being with him - but often it doesn’t feel that way.

We often imagine God as this big angry man ready to punish us - but He’s actually a wonderful loving father ready and waiting to pour His life into us.

Prayer is not punishment - it’s life!
