    Keep The Faith Series

     | 8,112 views

    John’s moral test for genuine salvation consists of: 1) The Test Stated (1 John 2:3), 2) The Test Applied (1 John 2:4–5) and 3) The Test Exemplified (1 John 2:6)

    Most of us don’t like tests. Tests conjure up bad images in our minds: that horrible math final exam your senior year in high school, that stress test the doctor has ordered, or that dreaded driver’s license test with a dour instructor in the car with you demanding that you display ...read more

    We often come to Christmas time overwhelmed, stretched, strained and spiritually dried out. Spiritualy, the glass is half empty. The purpose of this sermon is to discover from the life of Mary and Joseph how can we get more ‘water’ in the glass and find

    Introduction Christmas is only 6 days away. At this time of year, do you feel like the cup half full or half empty? My guess is that the cup is half empty – maybe getting more and more empty. About this time, many people are getting pretty drained. Purpose Statement How can we get more ...read more

    Useless Faith Series

    Faith is so much more than a passive agreement to a set of doctrines. Saving faith transforms the one who believes. Without this transformation, how will anyone know whether we are saved, or merely pretending to be a follower of Christ?

    JAMES 2:20-26 USELESS FAITH “Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; ...read more

    Believe God and face adversity with courage, face the adversary with confidence, and face achievement without conceit.

    In our day, when a lot of people are worried about staying safe, Mark Moring from Elburn, Illinois, has some suggestions: 1st, Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20 percent of all fatal accidents. 2nd, Do not stay home because 17 percent of all accidents occur in the ...read more

    Unwavering Faith Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 27, 2022
     | 2,383 views

    Believers can be Assured of their salvation, possessing Unwavering Faith because of three things. First: 1) The believer’s Peace with God (Romans 5:1), Second, their 2) Standing in Grace (Romans 5:2a), and Finally, their 3) Hope of glory (Romans 5:2b-5a)

    Romans 5:1-5a. Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our ...read more

    Saving Faith

    I think the most important question of our lives is that question… WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? How can I be confident that when I die, my sins are forgiven, and I have the promise of living eternally with Christ?

    Faith Acts 16: 25 – 32 The apostle Paul was thrown into jail for preaching about Christ in the city of Philippi. He and his companion Silas were beaten and then chained to an inner dungeon. The Bible records that Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God, and the prisoners heard them. The ...read more

    Defending The Faith Series

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on May 20, 2025

     | 616 views

    In the opening verses of Jude, we’re reminded that following Christ means embracing a new identity—one marked by complete submission and ownership by Jesus. This message calls the Church to stay alert and defend the faith from subtle internal threats that distort grace and divide the body.

    It’s the end of June of 2023. Crazy, isn’t it? Well I guess not really - that’s how time works. But, May 1st of this year marked half a decade that I’ve been here at New Hope, and in fact, this month, although it’s almost over, marks exactly 2 full years since I’ve started preaching here. Kind of a ...read more

    Plastic Faith

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 698 views

    Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

    An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

    Chuck Swindoll says, "Much of our religious activity today is nothing more than a cheap antiseptic to deaden the pain of an empty life."

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED - 2015) ILL. Chuck Swindoll wrote, “Much of our religious activity today is nothing more than a cheap antiseptic to deaden the pain of an empty life.” Can that possibly be true?

    When someone directs us to do something, before we take the first step, most of us want to know all the details. Abraham didn’t ask; he just kept on moving by faith until he came to this land that was going to one day be Israel.

    INTRODUCTION In college, usually the most basic freshman courses are labeled “101.” It may be Algebra 101, History 101, Calculus 101 or something like that. Today I want to teach from Romans 4, some of the basics about faith. My favorite uncle was Uncle Charles, my mother’s ...read more
