"At The Table: Holy Communion” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
On Communion Sunday, Rev. Vicki Harrison opens Matthew 26 — the night before the cross, where Jesus takes the oldest meal of God's people and fills it with new meaning. "This is my body… this is my blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." The message walks through what actually happens when we come to the Lord's Table: we experience the grace of Jesus, we come together as one body, all people are welcome, and we return to it again and again. It is not a ritual to observe from a distance — it is grace we receive with open hands.
"Made New” Baptism Sunday | Rev. Vicki Harrison
The water was at the front of the room, and one by one people stepped in to say it out loud: I belong to Jesus. Here's what Pastor Vicki Harrison taught about baptism on Sunday — and why the old really is gone.
"Words Matter: More than Words” | Rev. Roberto Chaple
You've heard it said that words are just words. Jesus disagrees. In this final message from the Words Matter series, Pastor Roberto Chaple opens Matthew 12:35-37 to show us that what we say is a window into what we're storing up — and that our words carry more weight than we've been willing to admit.
"Words Matter: Wise Speech” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
James 1:19 is one of those verses that's easy to memorize and hard to live: "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." In this message from the Words Matter series, Rev. Vicki Harrison pairs that command with James 3:13-18 — where James contrasts earthly wisdom (bitter jealousy, selfish ambition, disorder) with wisdom from above (pure, peaceable, gentle, full of mercy). The result is a conviction not just about the tongue, but about the heart posture underneath it.
"Words Matter: Taming the Tongue” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
James 3 opens with one of the most arresting images in the New Testament: a small rudder steering a great ship. A tiny spark setting an entire forest ablaze. The tongue. In this message from the Words Matter series, Rev. Vicki Harrison opens James 3 to explore why the words we speak are not a minor issue — they reveal the state of our hearts, they wound or they heal, and they cannot be tamed by willpower alone. Only the gospel reaches deep enough.
"Let The Lion Roar: Reclaimed and Renewed” | Rev. Vicki Harrison

"Let The Lion Roar: Escape Plan” | Rev. Vicki Harrison

"Let The Lion Roar: In Pursuit” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
New Hope opens its new series in the book of Amos with a message titled "In Pursuit." Amos begins with God roaring like a lion — not in delight, but in righteous anger over injustice. The big question driving the whole series: does God care about injustice? The answer this Sunday is a clear yes — God is not silent; He is in pursuit.
"God’s Love for Animals” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
What can a glass frog, a blobfish, a whale shark, and a platypus teach us about God? More than you'd expect. Pastor Vicki Harrison invited the kids to stay in the main service for a morning full of wild creatures — and three truths from Genesis, Psalms, and Matthew that touch every person in the room.
"Legacy: Pentecost — Movement of the Holy Spirit in the Next Generation” | Rev. Dr. Vicki Harrison

"Set Apart: Inner Holiness” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
It's easy to look holy on the outside. Jesus had sharp words for the people who had perfected it. Pastor Vicki Harrison opens Matthew 23 and asks the harder question: what's actually going on inside?
"Set Apart: Personal Holiness” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
Most of us have the wrong picture of holiness. Pastor Vicki Harrison opens 1 Peter 1:13-16 and shows that being set apart isn't about being religious — it's about looking like your Father.
"Set Apart: God’s Holiness” | Rev. Roberto Chaple
