In this message from Pastor Randy at New Hope Church, we begin our series through the book of Zechariah, one of the clearest prophetic books pointing to the coming Messiah.

Zechariah’s opening chapter reminds us that before rebuilding the temple—or any great work—God calls His people to repent and return to Him. Repentance isn’t just turning away from sin; it’s turning toward God and chasing after Him with a renewed heart.

Watch as Pastor Randy walks through Zechariah 1:1-6, shares the powerful story of actor Danny Trejo’s transformation, and closes with a beautiful prayer of repentance from Lewis Bailey.

Main Scripture: Zechariah 1:1-6
Theme: Turning from sin, turning to God, rebuilding our hearts.

God’s design has always been partnership. From the Garden of Eden to the early church in Acts, His plan has been to work through His people, not just a few leaders, but every believer.

In this message, Pastor Zack Killey reminds us that the body of Christ isn’t built on one person’s strength. It thrives when every part of the body functions together, when teachers teach, encouragers encourage, and servants serve.

The apostles couldn’t do it all, so they raised up others. In the same way, God has wired you with unique gifts, passions, and abilities that the Church needs right now. Whether you’re leading, organizing, mentoring, or simply showing kindness, it all matters.

When every believer steps into their role, the Church reflects Christ to the world.

“It takes everyone. Every believer. Every gift. Every act of love.”

Discover the five ministries of care every believer can live out:
The Ministry of Presence
The Ministry of Encouragement

Through real-life stories of faith and generosity, including the inspiring legacy of Osceola McCarty you’ll be reminded that true care isn’t about wealth or status it’s about love in action.
