     | 1,732 views

    From the very beginning of creation to the narratives of ancient Israel, God's voice has echoed through history, calling His people into relationship and purpose. Let us open our hearts and minds to the truth revealed in Scripture and be transformed by the voice of our Creator.

    Hearing the Voice of God Introduction: Today, we embark on a journey to explore the profound theme of hearing the voice of God.

    The Power Of Forgiveness By Pst. Joseph Ondu

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on May 2, 2024
     | 628 views

    But when we choose to forgive, we break free from that cycle. We release ourselves from the burden of anger and resentment, and we open ourselves up to healing and reconciliation. When we forgive, we let go of the past and make room for a brighter future.

    The Power of Forgiveness Introduction: Today, I want to talk to you about a subject that is close to the heart of God and essential for our own spiritual well-being — forgiveness. The power of forgiveness is one of the most profound aspects of the Christian faith. It's not just a nice idea; ...read more

    Defending The Faith Series

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on May 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 674 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

    Measure Upon Measure – Death – The Restoration Of God - Part 9 (Section 1) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 5, 2025
     | 214 views

    In this fifth consequence of Adam’s sin which is death, we take a comprehensive look into what death means and examine all aspects. There are 5 sections in this and section 1 opens the subject up with a good look at the Garden of Eden and the entry of sin through Adam and Eve.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – DEATH – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 9 (Section 1) CHAPTER 5 - THE FIFTH CONSEQUENCE In this fifth consequence, because it is the longest, and probably the most important, it is difficult to break it into sections. I have done that but it ended up with some sections ...read more

    9. Message In 1 Peter – Number 9 - Consider The Suffering Church And Peter’s Teaching On Suffering - How Do We Suffer? (1 Peter 4:13) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 31, 2025
     | 161 views

    Suffering is a sad fact of our generation. It has always been the case for Christians right from the times of the Roman Empire to today, especially in Africa. Peter opens up the matter of suffering as a Christian and we look at this to draw important lessons from what he is saying.

    9. Message in 1 Peter – Number 9 - CONSIDER THE SUFFERING CHURCH AND PETER’S TEACHING ON SUFFERING - HOW DO WE SUFFER? (1 Peter 4:13) “It’s not fair! Why should it be happening to me? Why has God not stopped this? Does God notice what is happening? It doesn’t happen to others - why to ...read more

     | 963 views

    God's greatest gift was delivered in the humblest of settings, revealing His love for humanity in a way that transcends time. This Christmas, as we reflect on this passage, may we embrace the quiet beauty of the nativity and open our hearts to the Savior born for us that holy night.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: "A small cathedral outside Bethlehem marks the supposed birthplace of Jesus. Behind a high altar in the church is a cave, a little cavern lit by sliver lamps. You can enter the main edifice and admire the ancient church. You can also enter the quiet cave where a star ...read more

    Elisha saw what his servant did not see. That God’s army was there. Elisha had the eyes to see the chariots of fire that surrounded them.

    The way you see things makes a big difference. Do you see the glass half empty or half full. You know the story of two shoe salesman that went to a primitive tribe to sell them shoes.

    Most of us have given or gotten love letters or notes. But if you were told that there are thousands and thousands of love letters written to you, would you want to open them up? Would you want to know who they were from? This sermon tries to take each

    How to pray. How God answers prayer. How we should not badger God for material needs but use prayer to open our hearts to a true dialogue with God, and why God failed to let me win the lottery despite the fact that I had prayed for it.

    Sermon: 17th in Ordinary Time Text: Luke 11:1-13 In the name of the +Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

     | 10,876 views

    Third message in the series "God’s Lost and Found from Luke 15. This message deals with the prodigal son and the fact that when we stray awy from God we don’t cease being His child. He welcomes us home with open arms.

    We started, several weeks ago, a series of messages on God’s Lost and Found from Luke chapter 15. We came to realize that this is not three separate parables, but rather one parable with three different parts, or examples that each illustrates the love of the Lord Jesus for those that are ...read more

    One of God’s purposes for our lives is that we enjoy them., but it is not the ONLY purpose. He wants to deepen us, and that comes not so much from joy as it does facing the sober realities of life. Facing life’s realities opens us up to receive wisdom,
