March 24, 2024 | "Disruptions: The Fruit of Disruption” | Rev. Vicki Harrison
In the sermon "God Breaking Through in the Everyday Interruptions," Pastor Vicki Harrison enlightens us that the disruptions in our daily routines are not mere obstacles but potential divine appointments orchestrated by God. Drawing from Jesus' ministry in Mark 1:21-28, she illustrates how Jesus' most impactful acts and teachings often unfolded amidst interruptions. These moments were not distractions but opportunities for profound spiritual encounters and transformations.

Summary:
In "The Fruit of Disruption," delivered by Pastor Vicki Harrison at New Hope, the message revolves around the transformative power of disruptions in our lives, seen through the lens of faith. Pastor Vicki reflects on a recent mission trip to Cuba, illustrating how dire circumstances there have fueled a remarkable growth in faith and reliance on God. Despite facing severe shortages and governmental oppression, the Cuban churches are experiencing revival, with many coming to faith amidst their struggles. This, she suggests, is a powerful testament to finding hope and joy in Jesus Christ, regardless of our circumstances.
The sermon also explores the biblical narrative of Palm Sunday, emphasizing how a seemingly small disruption – the request for a donkey – facilitated a momentous event in Jesus' ministry. This act of obedience by the donkey's owner led to Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, fulfilling prophecy and declaring His kingship. Pastor Vicki uses this story to underscore the idea that disruptions, whether they come in the form of divine callings or life's trials, can lead to significant spiritual fruit.
Drawing parallels between the experiences of the Cuban church and the Palm Sunday story, Pastor Vicki encourages the congregation to embrace disruptions as opportunities for growth and ministry. She challenges believers to respond to God's call with obedience, even when it disrupts our lives, and to maintain a posture of rejoicing in the face of adversity. The sermon concludes with a call to reflect on how we deal with disruptions and to choose praise over lamentation, trusting that God works all things for good for those who love Him.
This message aligns closely with New Hope's mission to make more and better followers of Jesus Christ by loving Jesus, caring about all people, following God's guidance, living out the truth with grace, and being open to taking risks and making bold decisions (findnewhope.com/whoweare). It also reflects the church's values of being rooted in God’s Word, renewed by the Holy Spirit, and reaching the world for Jesus Christ (findnewhope.com/what-we-believe).
Through "The Fruit of Disruption," Pastor Vicki invites the congregation and viewers online to see disruptions not as inconveniences but as divine appointments that can lead to deeper faith, renewed purpose, and broader impact for the kingdom of God.
