Luke recounts Jesus teaching, "Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom." (Lk 12:32) To live our lives even now in the Kingdom of the beloved Son requires faith, and so, this homily considers one of the most famous verses on faith in the New Testament: "Faith is the substance of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen." (Heb 11:1)

New Hope Chapel has had women teachers for a long time, and about five years ago, New Hope also began recognizing women as elders. Around the same time, we decided to phase out the language of deacons and elders and move into the language of a pastoral team and a teaching team. We know there are many examples of women as disciples in the New Testament--Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, Martha and Mary of Bethany, and many others. In fact, Tabitha is introduced as a disciple. But are there examples of women teachers, pastors, and ministers? Yes! This week, we meet a half dozen women who taught, pastored, and ministered first-century churches, and spend extra time with Phoebe, whose remarkable story is found in Romans 16.

In God Never Said Things Will Be Easy, Rev. Vicki Harrison unpacks Jesus' words in John 16:33, reminding us that the Christian life is not a path of comfort, but a journey of faith, endurance, and trust. Bad theology can lead to poor decisions and wrong assumptions about God, causing us to believe that faith guarantees a trouble-free life. Instead, Jesus calls us to follow in His footsteps—even when it means facing pain, challenges, and sacrifice. Drawing on the Apostle Paul's trials, Rev. Vicki reassures us that God will give us all the grace we need for every situation, abundant life in Him, and the promise that we will never fight alone. This message calls us to be rooted in God's Word, renewed daily by His Spirit, and committed to reaching the world for Jesus Christ—even when the journey is hard. Call to Action: Join a New Hope community group to grow in faith, share life's challenges, and walk together in Christ's strength. Learn more at New Hope's mission page.

Daily Dose of Hope August 5, 2025   Scripture – Luke 4:1-30   Prayer:  Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we begin Luke 4.   The chapter starts with Jesus being led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit.  There, he was tempted by Satan for forty days.  Luke goes into a fair amount of detail here.  The devil tempts a fasting Jesus by telling him to turn rocks into bread.  The devil promises Jesus that he will offer him the whole earth if he will just bow down and worship Satan, but Jesus refuses.  He also encourages Jesus to put God to the test.  Just like the baptism, this is part of Jesus' preparation for public ministry.    Remember, Jesus was both fully God and fully human.  There is mystery here; with our human brains, we struggle to wrap our brains around this truth.  I certainly do.  It's in the wilderness experience that we can see Jesus' humanity.  He is truly tempted.  But he stays in line with God's will.  In his baptism, he has made a public declaration that he will obey God's will for his life.  And he stays true to that, even when tempted by the devil and his schemes.    I grew up in Christian traditions in which we didn't talk much about the devil.  I think people were kind of scared to talk about it.  In my previous denomination, there was definitely a wishy washiness about belief in Satan and demons.  If you didn't believe in a real devil, they were fine with it.  While they could not deny evil, which is a force that is obviously very strong, they were definitely hesitant to make firm statements about the source of that force.   After almost twenty years in ministry, I don't see how anyone who reads Scripture and lives out the Christian walk can deny the existence of a real Satan.  God has an enemy who is at work against him and against us.  References to Satan/the devil/the enemy are found throughout the entire Biblical narrative.  At least a quarter of Jesus' ministry dealt specifically with the conflict between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of darkness.  We are going to see all of this play our as we walk through the gospels.  Jesus was God with flesh on and he came to crush Satan under his feet. What Jesus experienced in the wilderness was spiritual warfare and as we look at this narrative in other gospels, we will see how Jesus uses Scripture, God's Word, in response to everything the devil threw at him.  He emerges from the wilderness victorious and ready to start preaching and teaching God's message of redemption, reconciliation, and love.    Jesus also gives us a great example of how to stand up against the enemy's tactics in our world.  We don't need to be scared but be prepared.  There isn't a demon lurking in every corner, but the world is full of evil and evil beings.  Be ready to proclaim God's Word, that is the only offensive weapon we have.  Keep following Jesus, stay faithful, but be prepared for opposition.    The next part of the passage moves into Jesus standing on the steps of the synagogue in his hometown of Nazareth.  Let's start with some background to help us understand the significance of this moment.  Our God is a God of mission. His mission from the beginning was to redeem his world and restore it to its intended purpose. We see throughout scripture how God's plan unfolds. First, he pours himself into the nation of Israel, revealing his character, shaping a new kind of people. But, if you've read the Old Testament, you know what happens. Israel repeatedly disobeys God and eventually rebels against God until there is no turning back.  At this point, it seems like all is lost.    But at just the right time, God speaks through the prophets and the next part of his mission begins to unfold. He says, “It may seem like things are hopeless now but they aren't because someday, I'm going to send someone who will restore the people of Israel to me. This person will be a light to the Gentiles, and will bring my salvation to the ends of the earth and it will be obvious once more that your God reigns.” And then 600 years after that prophecy in Isaiah, once again in God's perfect timing, his mission becomes more full and complete through the person of Jesus Christ who fulfilled this promise of reconciliation and “making things right again.”    That's where we are pick up in the scripture passage for today.  It's early in Jesus' ministry and he begins to reveal his mission.  Jesus reads scripture from the prophet Isaiah, scripture that those present would have been quite familiar with.  But Jesus does something extraordinary after that.  He says, The Scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled this very day.     Jesus is saying, “Guess what, guys? I am the long-expected redeemer. I am the one who came to fulfill the mission of God. To put things right, GOD SENT ME!” This would have caused a bit of shock.  But Jesus doesn't stop there.  He begins to tell them how the Jews have traditionally rejected the prophets.  They haven't recognized God's sent people, even when face to face.  Here they are, face to face, with the Son of God, the Messiah himself, and they don't recognize him at all.    But this only angers them and it seems that they may even try to throw Jesus off the cliff.  But Jesus walks right through the crowd, totally unscathed.   I like to think of this text as Jesus' mission declaration.  But what exactly did God send Jesus to do?  What was his mission?  This is the critical question for us.  In American Christianity, when we think about why Jesus was sent, we tend to say “to die on the cross so we can have eternal life.” That is certainly part of the reason (and it's really, really important but it's incomplete. It's not the whole story.)   In tomorrow's reading, we will hear Jesus say, I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent. Jesus was sent to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God.  And just a review, what is the Kingdom of God?  The Kingdom of God is anywhere that God reigns and his values are at work, anywhere where the world is working in the way that God always intended it to work. This means the Kingdom of God is present when values like justice, mercy, forgiveness, hope for the poor and oppressed, compassion, righteousness, are lived out by God's people.   What we need to understand is how radical and revolutionary this was at the time.  Jesus is saying that the Kingdom of God had arrived. He represented the Kingdom. He represented this new way of doing life, this new way of being human, a way of doing life that demonstrates the reign of God. And everything Jesus did–all his miracles, all his parables---were intended to demonstrate the Kingdom.    More tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Sermons from Bellevue Presbyterian Church

In her message “God Never Said: Follow Your Heart,” Rev. Vicki Harrison (she/her) dismantles the cultural myth that our feelings are always trustworthy. Drawing from Jeremiah 17:9, Matthew 15:19–20, and Proverbs 3:5–6, she reminds us that our hearts can be deceptive and self-serving. When we base our decisions on flawed theology or fleeting emotions, we risk misunderstanding who God truly is and what He calls us to do. Instead of following our hearts, Rev. Vicki challenges us to ask deeper, faith-forming questions like: Why am I here? Whom do I serve? She urges us to lean not on our own understanding, but on God's Word, prayer, Christian community, and regular worship. These are the pathways to being rooted in God's Word, renewed by the Holy Spirit, and ultimately reaching the world for Jesus Christ. If you're looking to grow in these rhythms and need people to walk alongside you, consider joining a Band Group at New Hope. Band Groups are small, same-gendered gatherings designed to help you read Scripture, pray together, and build honest, accountable relationships. Whether you're new to community or ready for a deeper connection, a Band Group can help you live out our mission to Know Jesus, Grow Faith, and Go Multiply. Sign up today: https://bit.ly/ineedaband

It's the beginning of a new era at Cardiff City and Newport County as both clubs prepare for life under new, and inexperienced, managers. The Bluebirds, playing in the third level of English football for the first time in 21 years, have opted for the blue side of Manchester by appointing for former Manchester City youth coach Brian Barry-Murphy. The Exiles, meanwhile, have gone for the red side by choosing former Manchester United youth coach Dave Hughes. Both clubs have ample room for improvement after hugely disappointing performances last season. But is there room for optimism this season?Wrexham and Swansea have another week's preparation for the start of the Championship season - and both have been making plenty of headlines over the summer. The Dragons have showed their promotion intent again with some eye-catching signings, and they're not finished yet. The Swans took everyone by surprise with the announcement that Snoop Dogg has become a co-owner as an investor. It's building up nicely to be another fascinating season for Welsh football.

This week's message in our Use Me series, led by Rev. Vicki Harrison, powerfully highlights how God continues to use real, broken people to build His Kingdom. Centered around 2 Corinthians 5:17, we witness four deeply personal testimonies—from Stan Cope, Garnette Stohr, Matt Yeo, and Donna Terrell—who share how Jesus met them in moments of fear, self-doubt, complacency, and helplessness. Their stories reveal a central truth: when we say “yes” to God, He transforms our ordinary lives into vessels for His extraordinary work. Feeling stirred?

Daily Dose of Hope July 24, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 28:1-15   Prayer:  Lord Jesus, We give you glory and praise.  You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Thank you for your giving your life for us.  Your love is overwhelming and all-encompassing.  As we think about our day and our week, help us focus on when we have seen your love at work.  Show us those moments when you were with us, walking alongside us, guiding us, directing our thoughts and our words.  Lord, how we need you.  How we yearn to see your glory.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  Currently, we are doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we begin Matthew 28.   Today, we will talk about the Easter story, the best story in the history of the world.  Yes, Jesus was crucified.  Yes, Jesus died on that horrible cross.  Yes, he was laid in the tomb.  But he did not stay dead.  On Sunday morning, everything changed.  The women went to the tomb and were greeted by an angel.  The Scripture said that the angel rolled the tomb away and was sitting on it, waiting for the women.    That's when he reveals to good news.  Jesus has risen and is going ahead of them.  It's then that Jesus actually appears to the women.  In Matthew's Gospel, it's Jesus himself who tells the women to go share the good news of his resurrection with the others.   Now, let's talk a little bit about the resurrection itself. Now, there are some Christians who see the resurrection in only a metaphorical sense. At New Hope (and in the GMC), we believe that Jesus experienced a real, physical, bodily resurrection.  In fact, I believe that Jesus' resurrection really only has TRUE significance if we understand it as a real bodily resurrection. Clearly, the early church believed it was a bodily resurrection...they risked and often gave life and limb to proclaim the Good News about Jesus Christ and his resurrection.   There is much evidence for the bodily resurrection of Jesus (significantly more than for other historical events that we tend to take for granted) and some great books out there that deal with some of these issues–Lee Strobel has some good ones. If this is a question for you, I would strongly encourage you to settle that for yourself.   That being said, even for the average churchgoer who believes in a real bodily resurrection of Jesus, is it making a significant difference in their lives OR is it perhaps simply providing a vague consolation that there is something beyond death? I want you to really think about it–how has resurrection changed your life?  Have you personally been transformed by the power of the resurrection?   Paul says in I Corinthians 15 that without the resurrection, our faith would be futile, useless, a hoax. Those who have died for the faith, their suffering would be pointless. You see, so much hinges on the resurrection. Jesus' whole life was vindicated with the resurrection. The resurrection provides evidence of Jesus' divinity. Romans 1:4 says, and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.  Because Jesus is God, then we need to take everything he says very, very seriously.  The resurrection also provides assurance and hope that our physical death is not the end...it not only points to life after death but also the future resurrection of believers. Romans 8:11 says, The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.   The resurrection is life-changing for us as well.  The resurrection provides the power to bring the dead to life, the power for complete transformation, to bring what was essentially dead to something that is alive, vibrant, and productive. When someone says yes to Jesus Christ, a spiritually dead person becomes united with a life-giving Savior. When that happens, his resurrection produces a resurrection in us. The word resurrection actually comes from the same root as resurgence or rising again. We become connected to a life-giving power, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. This resurrection power has the ability to revive us, restore us, and transform us.   How amazing that we have become united with Jesus Christ, become filled with the Holy Spirit, and connected with God's mighty power. Think about it. This is a power than can perform miracles, this is a power than can make the dead come to life, this is the power that will ensure our eternity is secure.  Certainly, if it has the power to do all those things, this resurrection power can also transform us in radical ways. When we become united with Christ, we die to our old life & become new creations.   How have you experienced resurrection power in your life?   The last portion of today's reading is the guards' report.  They experienced the power of the resurrection and they tried to cover it up.  Why do you think they were so afraid?   More tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Boomer & Gio are out this week so today it's Al and Jerry. We started with NFL Training Camps being only days away. Jerry says for the first time in a while there is a new positive outlook for the Giants and Jets. Al strongly disagrees, he's not falling for the hype again. Both agree they'd love to see Jameis play. Al is not buying Aaron Glenn's tough guy act. Al is amazed at how time passes. C-Lo starts his update with the Bluejays 9-game winning streak, Al wonders if we are still mad at Canada. Our former boss Spike Eskin thinks the Mets are cheating at home. The Knicks will introduce Mike Brown, but will there be media questions? Could Thibs coach one of the new WNBA teams? In the final segment we recall the many people who had “Lin-Sanity”. A caller has some suggestions for Al's vacation in Montana.
