Something changed the world forever 2,000 years ago—and it wasn’t just a message or a miracle. In this powerful message from Pastor Mike Stevens, we explore the moment that redefined history: the Resurrection of Jesus. This isn’t just ancient history—it’s the game-changer for your life today. We dive into the reactions of those who first witnessed the empty tomb, from Peter and Mary to Thomas and the 3,000 in Acts. This isn’t about religion—it’s about transformation. The resurrection proves God’s love, power, and plan for you. So here’s the question: What are you going to do with that truth? #ResurrectionPower #EasterMessage #PastorMikeStevens #FaithThatTransforms #LifeWithPurpose #AppleStyleFaith #BoldFaith #RoadToRedemption #GameChanger #AbundantLife #NextLevelLiving [ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ] STAY CONNECTED Sermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.ag Instagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemn Facebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

The message of redemption is central to the New Testament—Jesus came to fulfill God’s plan of salvation, paying the price for humanity’s sins. Pastor Daniel Stevens explores key events, from John the Baptist’s call to repentance to Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and resurrection. Through Christ, God’s Kingdom is revealed, offering freedom, grace, and a path to redemption for all. Jesus didn’t come to condemn but to seek and save the lost. His mission was to transform hearts, moving beyond rules to a faith rooted in love and understanding. As we remember His sacrifice through Holy Communion, we embrace the true meaning of redemption—our sins aren’t just forgiven, but fully paid for. Let’s walk in that freedom and share this powerful truth! #JesusSaves #RedemptionRoad #PowerOfGrace #FaithInAction #NewLifeInChrist #ForgivenAndFree #KingdomCome [ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ] STAY CONNECTED Sermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.ag Instagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemn Facebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

"The Road to Redemption" is a powerful sermon series exploring God’s plan for salvation, and this is just the beginning! In Part 1, we focus on John the Baptist, the messenger sent to prepare the way for Jesus. His message was urgent and clear: Repent!—turn your heart back to God—and Be Baptized! as a public sign of transformation. John lived outside the norms of society, yet he was deeply in tune with God’s Spirit, calling people to genuine faith rather than empty religion. John’s mission wasn’t about himself but about pointing people to Jesus. His message still speaks to us today—revival begins with repentance. As we dive into this series, let’s examine our own hearts. Are we ready for the Lord? Are we willing to turn from distractions and truly follow Jesus? If so, let’s take action—seeking deeper faith, embracing baptism, and preparing the way for what God wants to do in our lives. Stay tuned for the rest of this series as we journey through God’s plan of redemption! #RoadToRedemption #Part1 #JohnTheBaptist #RepentAndBelieve #FollowJesus #PrepareTheWay #FaithInAction #RevivalStartsNow #KingdomCome #Baptism #SpiritLed #JesusIsComingIsWithYou #HealingInJesus #HopeBeyondPain #TrustGod #WhatNow #JesusSaves [ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ] STAY CONNECTED Sermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.ag Instagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemn Facebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Pastor Mike Newcomb's sermon challenges the idea that God "needs" our money. Instead, Jesus desires our hearts, calling us to surrender every aspect of our lives—including our finances. Many people struggle with "Spiritual Compartment Syndrome," where they give Christ their afterlife but resist giving Him control over their thought life, time, and money. However, true spiritual formation begins with Christ in us, shaping our thinking and ultimately transforming our behavior. When we embrace this, financial stewardship becomes an act of worship rather than obligation. Biblical principles show that honoring God with our finances brings His grace and favor, making generosity a win-win for both the giver and the church. At Good Hope Church, "Spirit-Led Giving" encourages believers to seek God's guidance rather than feel pressured. The goal is not just to fund a church but to shift from a consumer mindset to a commitment to the cause of Christ. Ultimately, God doesn’t need our money—He desires our hearts. #FaithfulGiving #KingdomStewardship #HeartOverMoney #TrustGod #GenerosityMattersIsWithYou #HealingInJesus #HopeBeyondPain #TrustGod #WhatNow #JesusSaves [ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ] STAY CONNECTED Sermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.ag Instagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemn Facebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

When life throws unexpected pain our way, it can shake our faith. “Lord, I love You, so why did that happen?” Scripture is full of both miraculous rescues and tragic losses. The reality is, while we are not promised a life without suffering, we are promised that Jesus will walk with us through it. The key is to move from asking “Why?” to “What now?”—trusting that God can bring growth, healing, and redemption from our trials. Like Mary and Martha, we may struggle when God doesn’t act as we expect, but the end of this life is not the end of the story for those who trust in Jesus. Embracing grief is a necessary step toward healing, just as the Bible shows us. But eventually, faith must be added to our pain so that suffering leads to perseverance, character, and hope. Paul reminds us in Philippians that to live is Christ and to die is gain—either way, we are called to stand firm in faith. If you’re in a season of heartache, may you find peace, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose in the Lord. #FaithThroughTrials #GodIsWithYou #HealingInJesus #HopeBeyondPain #TrustGod #WhatNow #JesusSaves [ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ] STAY CONNECTED Sermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.ag Instagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemn Facebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Feeling burned out in your faith? You're not alone. In I Love You, Lord, But… I’m Burned Out, Pastor Daniel dives into the struggles believers face when spiritual exhaustion sets in.

In I Love You Lord, But I’m Busy!, Pastor Daniel Stevens challenges believers to examine how busyness impacts their relationship with Jesus. Drawing from the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13), he highlights how worldly distractions—whether harmful habits, idle gossip, or even well-meaning commitments—can choke out spiritual growth. Pastor Daniel encourages replacing bad habits with godly practices, reminding us that even "good busy" can become a stumbling block if it crowds out time with Jesus. "If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy!" This message is a call to prioritize God amidst life’s demands. Pastor Daniel urges us to trade busyness for godliness, embrace contentment through Christ, and remember that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Don’t miss out on the better life God has for you by being too busy for Him! #PastorDanielStevens #ILoveYouLord #BusyLife #PrioritizeGod #FaithOverBusyness #JesusFirst #GodlyContentment #GoodHopeAG [ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ] STAY CONNECTED Sermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.ag Instagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemn Facebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

In I Love You Lord, But… Part 1, Pastor Mike Stevens challenges believers to examine the "buts" that hinder full surrender to God. Many fear that saying "yes" to God means giving up comfort, control, or even moving to Africa! But Jesus’ call to "Follow Me" is both a great challenge and an even greater promise. Through powerful scriptures like Matthew 10:38-39 and Luke 9:23-24, Pastor Mike reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just take—He gives a new and improved life now and eternal life to come. The message also distinguishes between truly following Jesus and being burdened by toxic religion. Bad religion destroys, but Jesus leads to life! Like Peter, who jumped out of the boat too soon (John 21), we must learn to follow God's timing. In the end, God’s expectations are not unreasonable—He calls us to trust Him, and whatever He asks will ultimately be worth it. If He does call you to Africa, you’ll love Africa! 🔥 #ILoveYouLord #FollowMe #NoMoreExcuses #JesusIsWorthIt #GodsPromises #FaithOverFear [ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ] STAY CONNECTED Sermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.ag Instagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemn Facebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Pastor Daniel Stevens delivers a powerful message in More to Come: Part 6, emphasizing the importance of raising up the next generation of pastors. Drawing from the examples of Timothy and Joshua, he challenges the church to empower young leaders to walk in their calling and warns against the harm congregations can inflict when they fail to support them. He urges the church to foster an environment where pastors thrive rather than struggle under toxic dysfunction. With a vision centered on Reach Up, Rise Up, Reach Out, Good Hope Church is committed to ensuring this is not the last generation of church leaders. Are you called to serve in ministry? Don't run from your calling—step into it with faith! Whether as a pastor, worship leader, or dedicated church member, we are all called to build each other up. Let’s lift each other up and believe that there is more to come! #MoreToCome #FaithInAction #EmpowerLeaders #ChurchGrowth #NextGenPastors #RiseUp #KingdomMindset #LeadershipMatters [ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ] [ Daily Devotions with Pastor Daniel ] STAY CONNECTED Daily Devotionals with Pastor Daniel: http://goodhope.ag/devotions Sermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.ag Instagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemn Facebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
