"Learning from Jesus: What is truth?” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
Vicki Harrison closes Learning from Jesus with the end of the Sermon on the Mount — false prophets known by their fruit, the warning that words alone are not enough, and two houses built by the same builder on different ground.
"Learning From Jesus: Hope: Where Is Your Hope and Security?” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
Vicki Harrison opens Matthew 6:19-24 and makes the case that this passage is not really about money — it is about treasure, the thing we have the hardest time letting go of, and the direction our hearts travel once we have chosen one.
"Learning From Jesus: Our Father: A Pattern for Prayer” | Julie Hamilton
Julie Hamilton opens Matthew 6:5-13 — the one subject the disciples asked Jesus to teach them — and walks through the pattern he gave them, starting with a childhood quilt and the prayer stitched onto it.
"Learning From Jesus: Morality: How Shall We Live?” | Rev. Roberto Chaple
Pastor Roberto Chaple opens Matthew 5:38-48 and walks through four of Jesus's hardest instructions — turn the other cheek, hand over your coat, go the second mile, love your enemies — and what they ask of us now.
"Learning From Jesus: Identity” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
Pastor Vicki Harrison opens Matthew 5:13-16 and shows us that being salt and light isn't something we do — it's who we already are as followers of Jesus.
"Learning From Jesus: The World According to Jesus” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
Jesus opens the most famous sermon in history by calling the poorest people in the room blessed. Pastor Vicki Harrison launches New Hope Church's fall series in Matthew 5, and the Beatitudes turn every rule about who counts upside down.
