In this powerful Memorial Day weekend message, Pastor Mike Stevens opens our eyes to the unseen war being fought over our identity, security, and emotions. Drawing from 2 Corinthians, Luke, Matthew, and 2 Chronicles, he reminds us that spiritual warfare is real, but God has equipped us with divine weapons — prayer, Scripture, and community.Through stories like the Apostle Paul's struggles and the temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness, we learn that even heroes of the faith wrestled with insecurity and emotional weight. But we also discover how to respond: by listening to God's voice over the enemy's lies, standing on God's Word, and leaning on our brothers and sisters in Christ. Now is the time to rise, pray bold prayers, and fight the good fight — not in fear, but in faith.#SpiritualWarfare #FaithOverFear #ArmorOfGod #PrayerPower #IdentityInChrist #FightTheGoodFight #KingdomCulture #BoldFaith #ReviveUs #GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeStevens #ChurchOnline[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ]STAY CONNECTEDSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

In “The Road Ahead,” Pastor Corey Pond casts a bold, clear vision for navigating life's narrow path with unwavering faith. Drawing from Matthew 7:13–14, he challenges us to choose the road less traveled—one that leads to life, though it is often difficult and demanding. With Hebrews 11:1 and 11:6, he reminds us that faith is our foundation, calling us to trust God even when the future feels uncertain.This message also speaks powerfully to the heart, offering hope and healing through scriptures like Psalm 34:18 and 147:3. Pastor Corey urges us to let go of what lies behind (Isaiah 43:18–19), forgive as we've been forgiven (Matthew 6:14–15), and encourage one another in community (Hebrews 10:24–25). God isn't done with us—Philippians 1:6 promises that what He started, He will complete. The road ahead may be hard, but it's filled with promise, purpose, and divine presence.#TheRoadAhead #FaithForward #PastorCoreyPond #NarrowPath #GodsPlan #FaithOverFear #ForgivenessHeals #ScripturePower #NewBeginnings #BuiltToLast #HopeInJesus #ChristianEncouragement #ChurchOnline[ Sermon Notes ]

Pastor Mike challenges us to lead with intentionality and grace, laying down pride and selfishness in favor of love that elevates the other.Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, this sermon offers timeless wisdom and practical steps to build relationships that are healthy, Christ-centered, and deeply fulfilling. From praying together to growing spiritually as a couple, Pastor Mike invites us to reflect God's love in everything we do—because anything worth having is worth investing in.#GodsLove #MarriageGoals #FaithAndRelationships #ChristCentered #CovenantLove #PastorMikeJurek #Ephesians5 #PrayTogetherStayTogether #LoveLikeJesus[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ]STAY CONNECTEDSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

"The Road to Redemption" is a powerful sermon series exploring God's plan for salvation, and this is just the beginning! In Part 1, we focus on John the Baptist, the messenger sent to prepare the way for Jesus. His message was urgent and clear: Repent!—turn your heart back to God—and Be Baptized! as a public sign of transformation. John lived outside the norms of society, yet he was deeply in tune with God's Spirit, calling people to genuine faith rather than empty religion.John's mission wasn't about himself but about pointing people to Jesus. His message still speaks to us today—revival begins with repentance. As we dive into this series, let's examine our own hearts. Are we ready for the Lord? Are we willing to turn from distractions and truly follow Jesus? If so, let's take action—seeking deeper faith, embracing baptism, and preparing the way for what God wants to do in our lives.

Pastor Mike Newcomb's sermon challenges the idea that God "needs" our money. Instead, Jesus desires our hearts, calling us to surrender every aspect of our lives—including our finances. Many people struggle with "Spiritual Compartment Syndrome," where they give Christ their afterlife but resist giving Him control over their thought life, time, and money. However, true spiritual formation begins with Christ in us, shaping our thinking and ultimately transforming our behavior. When we embrace this, financial stewardship becomes an act of worship rather than obligation.Biblical principles show that honoring God with our finances brings His grace and favor, making generosity a win-win for both the giver and the church. At Good Hope Church, "Spirit-Led Giving" encourages believers to seek God's guidance rather than feel pressured. The goal is not just to fund a church but to shift from a consumer mindset to a commitment to the cause of Christ. Ultimately, God doesn't need our money—He desires our hearts. #FaithfulGiving #KingdomStewardship #HeartOverMoney #TrustGod #GenerosityMattersIsWithYou #HealingInJesus #HopeBeyondPain #TrustGod #WhatNow #JesusSaves[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ]STAY CONNECTEDSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

When life throws unexpected pain our way, it can shake our faith. “Lord, I love You, so why did that happen?” Scripture is full of both miraculous rescues and tragic losses. The reality is, while we are not promised a life without suffering, we are promised that Jesus will walk with us through it. The key is to move from asking “Why?” to “What now?”—trusting that God can bring growth, healing, and redemption from our trials. Like Mary and Martha, we may struggle when God doesn't act as we expect, but the end of this life is not the end of the story for those who trust in Jesus.Embracing grief is a necessary step toward healing, just as the Bible shows us. But eventually, faith must be added to our pain so that suffering leads to perseverance, character, and hope. Paul reminds us in Philippians that to live is Christ and to die is gain—either way, we are called to stand firm in faith. If you're in a season of heartache, may you find peace, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose in the Lord.#FaithThroughTrials #GodIsWithYou #HealingInJesus #HopeBeyondPain #TrustGod #WhatNow #JesusSaves[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ]STAY CONNECTEDSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

In I Love You Lord, But I'm Busy!, Pastor Daniel Stevens challenges believers to examine how busyness impacts their relationship with Jesus. Drawing from the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13), he highlights how worldly distractions—whether harmful habits, idle gossip, or even well-meaning commitments—can choke out spiritual growth. Pastor Daniel encourages replacing bad habits with godly practices, reminding us that even "good busy" can become a stumbling block if it crowds out time with Jesus. "If the devil can't make you bad, he'll make you busy!"This message is a call to prioritize God amidst life's demands. Pastor Daniel urges us to trade busyness for godliness, embrace contentment through Christ, and remember that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).

In I Love You Lord, But… Part 1, Pastor Mike Stevens challenges believers to examine the "buts" that hinder full surrender to God. Many fear that saying "yes" to God means giving up comfort, control, or even moving to Africa! But Jesus' call to "Follow Me" is both a great challenge and an even greater promise. Through powerful scriptures like Matthew 10:38-39 and Luke 9:23-24, Pastor Mike reminds us that Jesus doesn't just take—He gives a new and improved life now and eternal life to come.The message also distinguishes between truly following Jesus and being burdened by toxic religion. Bad religion destroys, but Jesus leads to life! Like Peter, who jumped out of the boat too soon (John 21), we must learn to follow God's timing. In the end, God's expectations are not unreasonable—He calls us to trust Him, and whatever He asks will ultimately be worth it. If He does call you to Africa, you'll love Africa!

In this week's installment of Your Sacred Journey, Pastor Daniel Stevens dives into the essence of godliness, defining it as true Christ-like living—not just outward actions, but genuine transformation from within. Using 2 Peter 1:3-7 and passages like Luke 6:43-45, Pastor Daniel unpacks how the fruits of godliness flow from a vibrant relationship with God, much like love flows naturally in a healthy marriage. This isn't about checking boxes or “fake” godliness; it's about nurturing the Spirit's tree within us to bear fruit like compassion, humility, and grace.If you're feeling stuck or distant from true godliness, Pastor Daniel encourages us to “fertilize” our faith by revisiting the basics: faith, goodness, knowledge, perseverance, and self-control. The journey starts with cultivating a deep, authentic connection with Christ—because godliness isn't something we do; it's who we become.Scriptures referenced: 2 Peter 1:3-7, Luke 6:43-45, James 2:14-26#SacredJourney #Godliness #ChristianLiving #PastorDanielStevens #2Peter1 #FaithInAction #ChristLike #ChurchOnline #SundaySermon #FaithGrowth #SpiritualJourney #GoodnessAndFaith[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ][ Daily Devotions with Pastor Daniel ]STAY CONNECTEDDaily Devotionals with Pastor Daniel: http://goodhope.ag/devotionsSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

In Your Sacred Journey, Part 5, Pastor Kayla Stevens shares a powerful message about perseverance in our walk with Christ, using 2 Peter 1:3-9 as a foundation. He explains that our spiritual journey has stages: the initial steps create something beautiful, the next stages protect it, and the final stages reveal its fruits. Pastor Kayla encourages believers to stay the course even when the journey feels tough, looking beyond immediate challenges to a heavenly reward. Drawing on verses from James, Hebrews, and Timothy, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining a "heavenly perspective" by keeping our eyes on the finish line—eternity with Christ.Pastor Kayla also warns about persevering in the wrong way, using the church in Ephesus as an example from Revelation 2:1-5.

He concludes with Paul's example from 2 Timothy, urging us to finish strong in faith and love.#PersevereWithPurpose #SacredJourney #HeavenlyPerspective #FinishStrong #KeepTheFaith[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ][ Daily Devotions with Pastor Daniel ]STAY CONNECTEDDaily Devotionals with Pastor Daniel: http://goodhope.ag/devotionsSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
