In a world torn by division and hate, we're called to embrace a revolutionary approach to conflict.

Too often, faith begins with the story of our failure, but Scripture reminds us that God’s first word about us was blessing, not brokenness. What if we started with “original blessing” instead of “original sin”? Join us as we discover the good news that God has been with us from the very beginning, and never left.Give: https://newhopepres.org/giveConnect Card: https://newhopepres.org/connect-cardPrayer Request: https://newhopepres.org/prayer-request
As we reflect on the significance of Labor Day, we're reminded that our work is more than just a means to earn a paycheck - it's an act of worship. The passage from Ephesians 6:5-9 challenges us to approach our daily tasks, no matter how mundane, as if we're working directly for God.
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the essential role community plays in our faith journey. Drawing from the movie 'Steel Magnolias' and scriptures like 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12, we explore how God designed us for relationships - both with Him and with each other.
In this powerful exploration of our inner emotional landscape, we delve into the complex world of feelings through the lens of faith and modern culture. Drawing parallels between the animated film 'Inside Out 2' and the raw honesty of Psalm 55, we're reminded that our emotions - from joy to anxiety, anger to sadness - are all part of God's design for us.
In this powerful exploration of faith and transformation, we're invited to reconsider our purpose in God's creation. Drawing from Genesis 2:15 and Romans 8:19-22, we're reminded that we were placed in the garden not just to work, but to tend and care for it. This shifts our perspective from mere task completion to nurturing relationships and stewardship. The animated film 'The Wild Robot' serves as a poignant metaphor, showing how love and connection can transform us beyond our initial 'programming'.
In this powerful exploration of faith and film, we're invited to see the world through a different lens - one that challenges our preconceptions and calls us to embrace God's unconditional love. The story of Elphaba from 'Wicked' serves as a poignant metaphor for those deemed 'different' or 'outcast' by society.
In this week’s sermon, Pastor Caressa reflects on the powerful themes of Remember the Titans, we explore prejudice, judgment, and what it means to see others as made in the image of God. This message invites us to listen, learn, and live with the courage to become a community shaped by justice, humility, and love.
This week we explore the spiritual themes of faith and reconciliation through the beloved film Field of Dreams. What does it mean to trust in what we cannot see? What happens when we take a risk on grace, forgiveness, and second chances? Through scripture and story, we’ll discover that sometimes faith looks like foolishness—until it becomes the doorway to healing, hope, and restoration.
This Sunday we’re kicking off a new sermon series called Faith and Film, where we’ll explore spiritual themes through the lens of popular movies. First up: Conclave, a gripping thriller that invites deep reflection on power, humility, and faith under pressure.
