New Series: Celebrating Healing – How Do You Need Healing?

📅 Begins Sunday, February 2

New Hope Church | 9:30 AM

🌐 findnewhope.com

We all need healing.

Whether it’s our mental health, a struggle with addiction, or a broken relationship, every one of us carries wounds we can’t fix on our own. The good news is that we serve a God who heals. Jesus’ ministry was filled with moments of healing — restoring people physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, God is still healing today.

Starting Sunday, February 2, we’re launching a new series called “Celebrating Healing” where we’ll explore the many ways God brings healing into our lives. We’ll hear messages from Pastor Vicki Harrison and Pastor Roberto Chaple on topics like mental health, addiction, and relationships.

💬 What to Expect Each Week

Over the next three Sundays, we’ll dive into specific areas where many of us need healing:

• Feb. 2 – Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, and mental struggles affect millions of people, including those in the church. We’ll discuss how God offers peace to troubled hearts and minds.

• Feb. 9 – Addiction: Whether it’s substance abuse, pornography, or unhealthy habits, addiction can feel like a hopeless cycle. But there is hope in Jesus! We’ll talk about how God breaks chains and brings freedom.

• Feb. 16 – Relationships: Broken relationships hurt deeply — whether it’s a family conflict, a friendship that fell apart, or a marriage in crisis. God is in the business of restoration. He can heal what feels too far gone.

Each week, we’ll be reminded that God’s healing power isn’t just something we read about in the Bible — it’s something we can experience today.

💡 Ask Yourself: How Do You Need Healing?

As we prepare for this series, take a moment to reflect:

• Are you feeling anxious, worried, or mentally exhausted?

• Do you or someone you love struggle with addiction?

• Is there a relationship in your life that needs healing?

God cares about every part of your life — your mind, body, and spirit. He doesn’t want you to carry these burdens alone. Join us at New Hope Church to experience the healing power of Jesus Christ.

🙏 Next Steps for You

No matter what you’re going through, there’s hope and healing in Jesus. We’d love to walk this journey with you.

Under Pressure - New Sermon Series

Finding Trust In The Midst Of Transitions

It all looks like 2023 is a time of transition in our church. Churches UNDER PRESSURE: One thing we should keep in mind is that, as much as they look alike, transitions are not necessarily tribulations. We easily tend to get stuck in the day-to-day challenges, instead of using them to develop Christian virtues. In other words, we should be very mindful of how we react when we are under pressure.

Paul’s letters in the New Testament contain key teachings that were spiritual vitamins for early Christians who were exposed to pressure coming from different angles. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul summarizes the behaviors we should avoid and the virtues we should nurture in the midst of persecution and opposition. Through this series, we will learn how to be a resilient Body of believers, that goes and grows best under pressure.
