This week, Pastor Jordan kicks off a compelling new series on the story of Jonah, focusing on our reluctance to accept God's mercy and grace. Pastor Jordan delves into the historical and emotional context behind Jonah's flight from God's command to preach in Nineveh. He discusses Jonah's struggle with showing mercy to his enemies and draws parallels to our own lives. Through vivid examples and personal anecdotes, Pastor Jordan challenges us to confront our anger, embrace forgiveness, and extend God's love to even our worst adversaries.

Pastor Jordan continues our Jonah series drawing from Jonah 2:1-10, Jonah's prayer from the belly of the whale, reflecting on the themes of darkness, helplessness, and ultimate surrender to God's will. Through personal anecdotes and scriptural insights, he explores the profound journey of dying to self and embracing new life in Christ.

Discover how Jonah's transformative experience speaks to our own struggles and the importance of letting go of our old selves to become the people God intends us to be. Tune in for an inspiring message of hope, trust, and spiritual growth.

Pastor Jordan concludes our insightful series on the Book of Jonah, exploring themes of mercy, grace, and the human struggle with accepting God's boundless compassion for all, even those we might deem unworthy. Through Jonah's story, we are invited to reflect on our own biases and the transformative power of embracing a non-dualistic view of the world.

This episode challenges us to look beyond our personal comforts and prejudices, urging us to see others through God's eyes—with love, empathy, and humility. Join us as we uncover the timeless wisdom in Jonah's tale and learn valuable lessons about grace, love, and unity.

This week we kick off our new series, "Called to Serve," with the inspiring stories from our youth mission trip to Niagara Falls. Listen as our students and leaders share their transformative experiences of service, community, and faith. Our scripture reading comes from Ephesians 3:14-21, highlighting the boundless love of Christ. Through heartfelt testimonies, you'll hear how this trip deepened their connection to God and to each other. From unexpected challenges to joyous moments of baptism in the Niagara River, this episode is a testament to the power of service and the strength of community.

Today’s sermon is entitled “Being the Hands and Feet of Christ”. Using scriptures from 1 Peter 4:8-11, the Rev. Dr Caressa invites the members of New Hope who helped in last week’s Hand’s of Hope – a service designed to go into our community to serve with our, tangibly, hands and feet.

Using scriptures from Exodus 20:8-11, the Rev. Dr Caressa highlights God’s 4th commandment to Moses and the Israelites to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. Her message is guided by the questions: “If you had a whole day to do whatever you wanted, what would I look like?” and “What prevents you from having the day?” because sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do on your Sabbath is take a nap and to include spiritual renewal and worship.

08/04/24 Worship at New Hope Presbyterian Church in Castle Rock, CO. New Hope is a church that Puts People First.
