Hope Church LV Sermons

Hope for the World Week 2 | Church Multiplication

In Week 2 of Hope for the World, we focused on reaching our nation through church planting. Pastor Ricky Harris taught from Acts 13:1–4.

In this passage, the local church recognized the need to share the gospel beyond itself and sent out missionaries to do just that. In the same way, God has called every Jesus follower to share the gospel — and reaching the nations through church multiplication might be part of that calling. Whether it's starting a church or joining a church plant, God may be prompting you to take that step.

Hope for the World 2025 Week 1 | The Danger of Spiritual Myopia

We kicked off Hope for the World 2025 with Pastor Tom McCormick teaching from John 4:27–35.

In this message, we were reminded that every follower of Jesus has a mission—to share the gospel with others. The good news isn’t something to keep to ourselves but to share with those who don’t yet know Him.

Together, we explored how we can take part in God’s mission right here in our city. Watch the sermon to learn more!

Anchored Week 3: It Will Be Worth It

In week 3 of Anchored: A Journey Through Romans 8, Pastor Trenton Dorner preached from Romans 8:18–30.

Following Jesus doesn’t mean our problems disappear—we’ll still face difficulties and trials. But as Jesus followers, we know how our story ends: glory is coming! Because we have that future hope, we can endure almost anything in the middle of the struggle.

In this message, we learned three key truths:

1. In Christ, your present is incomparable to your future
2. Waiting is the way to glory
3. We have a present help and a secured future

Anchored Week 2: Fight Like You're Free

In week 2 of Anchored: A Journey Through Romans 8, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Romans 8:12–17.

Paul makes it clear in this passage — we’re all on one of two roads: one ruled by the flesh or one led by the Spirit. As followers of Jesus, the Holy Spirit lives in us and leads us. But what does it mean to walk by the Spirit?

In this message, we learned two key truths:
1️⃣ Fight sin to the death.
2️⃣ Embrace your identity and live free.

As Spirit-led people, we’re called to put sin to death daily and live in the freedom we have in Christ. 

Watch this sermon to learn how to fight sin and walk in your identity in Christ!

Anchored Week 1: No Condemnation

In week 1 of Anchored: A Journey Through Romans 8, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Romans 8:1–11.

As followers of Jesus, we’ve been freed by God from the penalty of sin! But that doesn’t mean we won’t still struggle with it.

In the struggle against sin, we can easily get discouraged and feel condemned. But, the Bible says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! We can get back up when we fall because God is continuing to free us from the power of sin—and when He returns, He will free us from the presence of sin.

If you’ve been feeling defeated or discouraged in your struggle against sin, this sermon is for you.

Love Language Week 7: The Parent/Child Relationship

As we close out our series Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Tom McCormick

teaches from 1 John 4:10,19.

In this sermon, we focused on the relationship between parents and children and how God calls both to love

each other biblically. Parents are to love their children as God loves them—sacrificially and unconditionally.

Children are to love their parents by honoring, obeying, and listening to their wisdom.

As Proverbs 22:6 reminds us: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart

from it.” How does God call parents to raise their children? Check out this sermon to find out!

Love Language Week 6: The Body of Christ

In week 6 of our series, Love Language: What God Says About Relationship, we were honored to hear from Pastor Patrick Detkin, our Lead Pastor of Care and Community. He preached from John 13:34–35.

The church is not an event you attend, it’s a family to which you belong. And when you belong to a family, it’s not just about you; it’s about others. God calls us to love one another, and this sermon explores what it means to belong to His family and how we can love His family.
