Under Construction
Has your heart ever been stirred? To buy a new car? To jump into a relationship? To attempt something great with or for God? Many times these moments are filled with fear and apprehension because we are unsure of our readiness. Every single one of us is somewhere on the journey. In some areas, I'm closer to the destination, and in others, you are further ahead. The reality is that we are all incomplete and under construction.

stir our hearts to give
MAY 21 & 22, 2016
This week Rob emphasizes that in order to truly BE generous, we have to actually GIVE.
At some point, the time for talking, thinking, and considering comes to an end and we just have to act! For some of us the action may be a baby step and for others of us the action may be a giant leap. Either way, it often requires the same amount of faith for BOTH! When we all do our part with God, the result is always beyond comprehension. This weekend we conclude the series and step into ACTION. Even while we all continue to be under construction, God wants to build something truly great through us as we build together.
God wants us to be stirred up
MAY 14 & 15, 2016
This week guest pastor, Charles Whitaker, tells us why God wants us to get stirred up!
We all get stirred up from time to time. Sometimes for good reason, sometimes not. Sometimes great things happen from getting stirred up about something, and sometimes nothing happens. But God has good reason for wanting us to get all stirred up, and He has BIG plans for a 'stirred up' body of believers at New Hope! In this compelling series we're learning how - even while we are under construction - that God wants to build something truly great through us as we build together!
STIR OUR HEARTS TO Family
May 7 & 8, 2016
This week Rob encourages us in the importance of family.
Kids, parents, significant others, in-laws, grandparents... balancing relationships with these people along with all the other demands of life can seem impossible at times. But there is nothing more important to the success of our church than the health of our families, and there is nothing more powerful than serving God together as a family! In this compelling series we're learning how - even while we are under construction - that God wants to build something truly great through us as we build together!
STIR OUR HEARTS TO Multiply
APRIL 30 & May 1, 2016
This week Rob explains the power of multiplication.
Addition is hard work while multiplication is powerful work! If we can see God's message and presence transform more lives in more places, is there anything more compelling? From the beginning God invited us all to participate in this work and we have the opportunity to do it every day! Join us for this compelling series and learn how - even while we are under construction - God wants to build something truly great through us as we build together!
STIR OUR HEARTS TO ObeY
APRIL 23 & 24, 2016
This week Rob talks about simple obedience.
The word obedience makes some of us think back to spankings as a kid or forced compliance as we got older. The truth is that God's ideas about this set us free! God does not desire our overextension or sacrifice, He simply wants our love. Join us for this compelling series and learn how - even while we are under construction - God wants to build something truly great through us as we build together!
STIR OUR HEARTS TO Unity
APRIL 16 & 17, 2016
This week Ned expands the idea of 'working together' to the importance of 'working as one'.
We understand the importance of collaboration. We can be and work with other cogs in a machine that gets things accomplished. But what if God's plan is much deeper than that? What if we have to actually like each other? What if we are to truly become one? Join us for this compelling series and learn how - even while we are under construction - God wants to build something truly great through us as we build together!
STIR OUR HEARTS to collaborate
APRIL 9 & 10, 2016
This week Rob introduces the goals of our campaign and encourages us all to work together.
We live in ways that cause us to value fierce individualism and cringe at the thought of working with others. But what if God has made us to work together and be His team? What if the key things in life will never be accomplished if we take the journey by ourselves? Join us for this compelling series and learn how - even while we are under construction - God wants to build something truly great through us as we build together!
Stir our hearts!
April 2 & 3, 2016
This week Rob explores the idea of stirred hearts and the resulting life!
Many times we hide our unfinished parts from each other and pledge to do more once we arrive. God, however, wants to use us right now, right where we are! This week we are going to talk about what we should do when we are stirred to action, but do not feel adequately prepared! This compelling series will show us that even while we are under construction, God wants to build something truly great through us as we build together.
