New Hope Tampa Bay Sunday Sermon Podcast

God knows what our future holds but does that mean he controls everything in our future? This Sunday we're going to explore what we mean by "God's will" and how our own "free will" plays into it. Many of you come to New Hope UMC from differing faith backgrounds...that means a Wesleyan perspective on this subject may not be everything you thought AND a whole lot more.

Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6, Romans 8:28

This Sunday, we walk through the life of Jacob, specifically focusing on Genesis 32, and how in one of the darkest, scariest times of Jacob’s life, he cried out to God for help and ended up in the wrestling match of his life! How have you wrestled with God? How have you held on to God through some of your most difficult disappointments and tragedies? How has he held on to you?

We'lllook at some signs that we might have a problem with longing forapproval and how Scripture addresses that like Proverbs 29:25- TheMessage: “Fear of human opinion disables; trust in God protectsyou from that.” Pray for all of us to be ready and reflectdeeply on the the ways God might be calling us to altar our longingfor approval to be more conformed to the image of Christ.Scripture: Proverbs 19:11, Proverbs 29:25, Galatians1:10,Thessalonians 2:4, 2 Corinthians 5:16-17.

This Sunday we continue with our sermon series, "Altar Ego: Becoming Who God Says You Are." This week we'll talk about "Altaring Our Need for Control." The fact is all of us have some things that we want to be in complete control of, but this is an illusion that can affect us in all kinds of negative ways.

Abram and Sarai got themselves into a lot of trouble by failing to trust God's promise to them and control their circumstance in Genesis 16:1-4: "Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not been able to bear children for him. But she had an Egyptian servant named Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, “The Lord has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant. Perhaps I can have children through her.” And Abram agreed with Sarai’s proposal. So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian servant and gave her to Abram as a wife. (This happened ten years after Abram had settled Pin the land of Canaan.) So Abram had sexual relations with Hagar, and she became pregnant. But when Hagar knew she was pregnant, she began to treat her mistress, Sarai, with contempt." Pray for us to be open to hearing God speak into our lives as we lay ourselves on the altar for Him to transform more fully into the image of Christ.

This Sunday we finish up our Lenten series, "I Am Jesus." The Gospel of John relates seven unique statements Jesus makes about Himself to help us understand Who He is, and what He wants for us & from us. This week we'll take a look at a seventh "I Am" statement: "I Am the Resurrection and the Life" found in John 11:25-26: "Jesus told her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?'” Pray we are filled with joy at the opportunity to gather as God's people to sing praises and shout about the victory of our God over sin, suffering, and death itself. Pray for people checking out Jesus' church for the first time to be received well and to be open to the Good News of God's love for them in Jesus Christ.

Additional Scripture: John 11:33-35, Isaiah 53:3, 1 Thessalonians  4:13, John 12:9-11.

We continue our Lenten series, "I Am Jesus." The Gospel of John relates seven unique statements Jesus makes about Himself to help us understand Who He is, and what He wants for us & from us. This week we'll take a look at Jesus' sixth "I Am" statement: "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" found in John 14:1-6. Pray we'll be open to truth of this profound and audacious statement of Jesus and that we will know the Father has a place for us – here and now, and for all eternity. Lord, help me get out the way, so You can be the Way, the Truth, and the Life in the lives of Your people. Additional Scripture: John 12:12-13.
