Hey Guys,What happens when a nation forgets God?What happens when worship grows cold and hearts grow hard?What does God say to a people drifting from truth, justice, and holiness?This Wednesday, we begin a powerful new series titled “Voices of Fire: Truth for Today from the Minor Prophets.” These twelve short books at the end of the Old Testament may be called "minor," but their messages are bold,...  Read More

Hey Guys,Have you ever missed something right in front of you?We’ve all had those moments—searching for your glasses when they’re on your head, or retracing your steps only to find your keys in your hand. But in John 5:31–47, the stakes are much higher.

Hey Guys,If someone showed you clear, undeniable evidence that something was true—would you believe it? Logic tells us yes. But the heart doesn’t always follow what the eyes can see or the mind can understand. Sometimes, the problem isn’t a lack of information—it’s a lack of willingness.This Sunday at New Hope Baptist Church, we continue our sermon series Believe: A Study of John with a powerful m...  Read More

Hey Guys,This past Sunday, we stood face-to-face with eternity.In our journey through the Gospel of John, we arrived at a striking declaration from Jesus:“An hour is coming and even now has arrived, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.” (John 5:25)And again,“An hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come out…” (J...  Read More

Hey Guys,This past Sunday, we opened our Bibles to one of the most theologically rich and spiritually urgent passages in all of Scripture—John 5:19–24. In a culture filled with religious confusion and moral compromise, we heard something crystal clear: Jesus Christ is not just a teacher or healer—He is the divine Son of God.The message was titled “From Death to Life,” and that’s exactly what Jesus...  Read More

Hey Guys,There are some passages of Scripture that shake the soul. John 5:19–24 is one of them.In these few verses, Jesus speaks with unmistakable authority—not as a teacher of truth, but as the source of truth. Not as a prophet pointing to life, but as the giver of life itself. And not as a witness to judgment, but as the righteous Judge of all mankind.That’s why this Sunday at New Hope Baptist C...  Read More

Hey Guys,What a powerful Sunday we shared together! As we kicked off our Wonder Junction Vacation Bible School, the Lord reminded us through Psalm 118:8 that life’s safest, wisest, and most fulfilling track is found in trusting Him alone.“It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.”Whether you're a long-time believer or someone just beginning to ask spiritual questions, "The Righ...  Read More

These moments remind us that we live in a fallen world marked by conflict, rebellion, and the ever-present tension between peace and justice.

Hey Guys,The 2025 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas, is now behind us. Like many others who love this convention, I left with a heavy heart — not just because of how certain votes turned out, but because of the tone, the laughter, and the moments that revealed something deeper and more troubling than mere disagreement. They revealed a spiritual sickness that can’t be fixe...  Read More

Hey Guys,What kind of man are you becoming?That question echoed in our sanctuary this past Sunday—and for good reason. As we gathered for a special Father’s Day message, we weren’t just celebrating dads; we were challenging every man to step into his God-given identity with boldness and humility.In the sermon, “Man on a Mission: Called, Confronted, and Commissioned,” we saw that biblical manhood i...  Read More
