Hope Church LV Sermons

The Gospel of Mark | Truth on Trial

This weekend, we were honored to have Pastor Eric Shelner, our Congregation Pastor of Hope Church Boulder City, with us. He preached from Mark 14:53–65, where Jesus stands before the council.

As we studied the scriptures, we learned that even when life doesn’t go the way we hoped, God’s plan for our lives is still perfect. If you’re in a hard season, this message is for you - give it a listen.

The Gospel of Mark | Jesus is Arrested

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Mark 14:43-52 - when Jesus was arrested.

On the night of Jesus’ arrest, we see these four moments happening: (1) Judas betrays Jesus, (2) Peter strikes the servant of the high priest, (3) Jesus being arrested, and (4) the disciples fleeing. We take a look at each moment and receive applications we can begin wrestling with in our walk with God. Check out this sermon to learn more! 

 

The Gospel of Mark | The Wrestle in the Garden

In this sermon, Pastor Trenton Dorner preached from Mark 14:32-42 - the story of Jesus praying in Gethsemane.

In the garden, Jesus was in a place of crushing as He faced the decision to either remain obedient to the Father’s will or do what was comfortable. As Christians, we will have our own ‘garden moments’ and if we’re honest, obedience to God doesn’t feel peaceful or rewarding, but painful. So, what do we do when the weight of obedience feels heavy?

The Gospel of Mark | See You In Galilee

We are back in our Gospel of Mark sermon series, and in this sermon, Pastor Tom McCormick preached from Mark 14:26-31. As humans, we have the capacity to sin and until Jesus returns, in our flesh, we will struggle with sin. The good news is, Jesus’ grace, mercy, and forgiveness is greater than the sum of all our prideful sin! Check out this sermon to learn more.

If Jesus Is Alive, Anything Is Possible!

The Dinner that Shaped History

In this sermon, Pastor Ricky Harris preached from Mark 14:12-25. We took a look at the Lord’s Supper and learned that as Christians, if we’re not careful, we can speed through the Lord’s Supper without ever contemplating what we’re eating. As we take the sacraments, we are reminded that forgiveness, joy, hope, and salvation is ours. Check out this sermon to learn more!

The False Follower

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Mark 14:10-11. In this passage, we talked about the betrayal of Judas and learned that you can be close to the things of God and not know God. The hard reality is, whether you’re a follower of Jesus or not, we can all be like Judas. We can be part of the crew who follows Jesus and be lost without a relationship with Him, or turn our backs on Him due to disappointment or feeling forgotten by Him. So, what do we do in those moments? Check out this sermon to learn more!
