Generous Living: To Whom Much Is Given… | Rev. Vicki Harrison and New Hope
What does it really look like to live generously in everyday life?
In this heartfelt and powerful panel message, To Whom Much Is Given…, Pastor Vicki Harrison leads a conversation with five faithful New Hope members—Katie Mackey, Cecil Cadwallader, Michael Heaton, Bobby Lain, and Mary Barrow—about their journeys into tithing, stewardship, and joyful generosity.
Each story reveals something deeper: generous living isn’t about wealth—it’s about surrender. It’s about trusting God with what He’s already entrusted to us. And it’s about taking Jesus at His word in 2 Corinthians 9:6–15: “God loves a cheerful giver.”

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.
Amos 9 brings the Let the Lion Roar series to a close with a hard word and a hopeful one: judgment is real, but God is not finished.

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.

What can a glass frog, a blobfish, a whale shark, and a platypus teach us about God? More than you'd expect.

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?
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.
