Hope Church LV Sermons

Acts | Community On Mission

In this sermon, we were honored to hear from Pastor Gene Staples, our Groups Pastor, as he preached from Acts 4:32-37.

n this passage, we see how the early church lived in community. They lived generously by sharing their resources with one another, proclaimed the gospel to those who did not know Jesus, and met the needs of others. In the same way, we as a church are called to live generously in community.

What does this look like, and what is your next step toward living generously in community? Check out this sermon to learn more!

Acts | A Praying Church

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 4:23-31.

In this passage, we see how the early church responded to opposition through prayer, boldness, and dependence on God. This message walks through 5 challenging realities of a praying church, including embracing community, believing the Scriptures, trusting the sovereignty of God, praying with expectation, and experiencing the Spirit’s power.

So what does it look like to be a praying church that boldly depends on God? Watch this sermon to learn more!

Acts | With Him

In his last sermon at Hope, Pastor Trenton preached from Acts 4:13-22.

When it comes to sharing the gospel, many of us feel like we don't have what it takes, and our response to that is avoiding what we're called to do. From the passage, we learn that the disciples felt the same way and what caused them to have the boldness to preach the gospel.

If you're feeling like you don't got what it takes to share the gospel with those around you, this message is for you!

Acts | When the Gospel Meets Resistance

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan preached from Acts 4:1–12, where Peter and John faced opposition for preaching the gospel.

As Jesus followers, we will face pressure and opposition as we share our faith, and while people will reject the gospel, the good news is that the gospel cannot be stopped. The gospel is still being shared today, God is still making Himself known, and He is still saving people, so we are not to shrink back but depend on the Lord as we continue sharing our faith.

If you’ve been thinking about getting baptized or feel God leading you to take that next step, this message is for you. Check it out to learn more!

What Do You Think About Jesus? | Easter 2026

In this Easter message, Pastor Scott preaches from Matthew 16:13-17.

We explore the question Jesus asked in Matthew 16: “Who do you say that I am?” and look at four truths about Him: He is real, radical, raised, and revolutionary. These truths invite us to reflect on our own response to Jesus.

So, what do you think about Jesus? This is a question every person must answer. Watch this sermon to learn more!

The Lord's Supper | March 29, 2026

In this Lord’s Supper sermon, Pastor Trenton preached from Colossians 1:19–20, reminding us that when we need rescue, who our rescuer is changes everything.

Jesus is the only one who can truly save us, not only because of who He is, but because of what He has done, reconciling us to God through His death and resurrection. No amount of effort or religion can accomplish what He has already finished.

Check out this sermon to learn more about what makes Jesus the only one who can rescue us and how He did it.

Generations Sunday | March 22, 2026

This weekend at Hope is Generations Sunday! This is the time where all generations come together in one room to worship, pray, and hear from God's word.

In this sermon, Pastor encourages everyone, from kids to students, parents to grandparents, and the whole church to not give up in doing good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith (Galatians 6:10)

If you're a student, parent, grandparent, guardian, or a part of the body of Christ, this message is for you!

OneLife

In this sermon, Pastor Scott introduced “OneLife,” a simple challenge for each of us to ask God, “Who is one person in my life that needs to come to know Jesus?”

Every follower of Jesus has been saved to be sent. The gospel is the good news of Jesus, and it is not meant to be kept to ourselves but shared with those who do not know Him. Think of someone in your life who needs to hear it. Maybe it is a relative, best friend, neighbor, or co worker. Who could be your “OneLife” to share the gospel with?

Watch this sermon to learn how you can begin sharing with your OneLife.
