Join us as we wrap up our Good News series and focus on what our next steps are after receiving the Gospel!

Good News (4) Next Steps

Lee shares on what the church could be when we understand who we are and what we are called to be.

What if the church...

The Bible is clear: those who forget God will not endure (Job 8:13). This truth applies not only to nations but also to churches and individuals. God, who sits enthroned above the earth, sees all inhabitants as mere grasshoppers (Isaiah 40:22). When a nation turns away from God, it sets in motion a process of escalating chaos, disunity, and eventual destruction. It is tragic and ironic that many of today’s leaders—whether in politics or media—fail to recognize this historical pattern. While no nation is without flaws, America’s historical success has often paralleled its alignment with Christian principles. However, as we drift from these foundations, the fabric of our society begins to unravel.

The Doctrine of Missions | "We Believe" Chapter 8 | Theam Oosthuizen

This is the second part in this look at, The Book of Acts, which describes this most unlikely partnership between Barnabas and Saul of Tarsus. Barnabas, the older, genteel, devout, kind and gentle man, who sought out and brought into the attention of the world, a brash, younger, hold, confrontational, zealot, man named Saul (who would take on the name, Paul. These two men formed a formidable partnership which literally went on to change the course of history and the very world itself.

Barnabas and Paul Part 2 - Their extraordinary world-wide legacy

At the very end of his ministry here on earth, right before ascending into heaven, Jesus returned to Galilee with the small band of disciples he had started with, and he commissioned them. This act utterly changed the world--no country is free of its effects. So what was it, and why is it still important? Join Graham as he explores the Great Commission and its relationship to us today.

A Great Mission Statement--Just Do It - Graham Grove

Jesus finishes each of the Gospels with a commission to the disciples to take the Gospel to the world. The Good News changes lives, and we are to take what we have received and share it with the world.

Main Scripture Passage: Mark 16:9-20

Do you feel overwhelmed when it comes to sharing Christ? Do you sometimes feel like a failure when it comes to being a witness? Listen to this encouraging message about our partnership with and the power of the Holy Spirit. We are commanded to go, but Christ is willing to walk with us as we work on our witness.

"Be Mission Motivated" Colossians EP 13

This morning we continued our sermon series on 2 Corinthians
Text: 2 Corinthians 10:12-18
Speaker: Pastor Todd Bolton

Let God Do the Measuring

n this powerful message from John 20:19-31, we explore Jesus's commissioning of His disciples after His resurrection. Just as the Father sent Jesus into the world on a saving mission, Christ sends us with the same purpose - to testify to the truth and proclaim that all who believe in Him can have their sins forgiven.

Discover how Jesus appeared to His fearful disciples, showed them His wounds, breathed the Holy Spirit upon them, and gave them authority to proclaim forgiveness. Learn from Thomas's journey from doubt to declaration, and understand why we are blessed to believe without seeing.

This message challenges us to live as "sent ones" - not seeking our own will but God's, teaching His truth faithfully, and participating in His redemptive work that spans thousands of years. Whether you're exploring faith or growing as a believer, this sermon reveals our unified purpose: proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing in Him brings true life.

Peace Be With You - John 20:19-31 - 8.10.2025

This sermon was delivered by Pastor Cory Klein at New Hope Church of Oxford on July 20, 2025.  The text of Scripture is Matthew 28:16-20.

Matthew 28:16-20 - Go

"If you have three priorities, you really have no priorities." This challenging exposition of Acts 1:12-26 confronts the modern church's tendency to pile on programs while losing sight of its central mission. Examining how the early believers waited in unified prayer after Christ's ascension, the message reveals why their singular devotion to bearing witness remains the unchanging priority for Christians today. The sermon unpacks the selection of Matthias to replace Judas, the foundational role of the apostles, and how waiting on God's timing prepared them for world-changing ministry. A timely call for believers to evaluate whether secondary activities have crowded out their primary purpose - proclaiming Christ's death, resurrection, and offer of forgiveness to all nations.

Waiting - Acts 1:12-26 - 08.31.2025

This transformative message explores the Day of Pentecost from Acts 2:1-13, examining one of history's most pivotal moments when the Holy Spirit descended upon the early church. The sermon unpacks the dramatic events - the violent rushing wind, tongues of fire, and miraculous speaking in other languages - while focusing on the central purpose: empowering believers to declare God's mighty deeds to all nations.

Rather than getting lost in theological controversies about spiritual gifts, this teaching emphasizes the unchanging mission given to Christ's followers: to be witnesses from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. Learn how being filled with the Spirit connects directly to bold proclamation of the Gospel, why rejection shouldn't discourage us from sharing our faith, and how God orchestrates divine appointments for His glory.

Key topics covered:
- The significance of Jewish pilgrimage festivals in God's redemptive plan
- Understanding "baptism in the Spirit" within its biblical context
- The relationship between being filled with the Spirit and witnessing
- Why Pentecost ranks among the four most important events in human history
- Practical encouragement for modern believers facing rejection while sharing their faith
- How God continues to work through His people today

Perfect for anyone seeking to understand the Book of Acts, the role of the Holy Spirit in evangelism, or looking for encouragement in their witness for Christ.

Pentecost - Acts 2:1-13 - 09.07.2025

Finish the Task (Guest Speaker Skyler Farley)

To Bless You - Acts 3 | The Power of Repentance in Gospel Proclamation

In this powerful message from Acts 3, we explore Peter and John's miraculous healing of the lame man at the temple's Beautiful Gate and the essential gospel message that followed. This sermon emphasizes the often-overlooked ingredient of repentance in modern gospel presentations, examining how true blessing comes through turning from our wicked ways to Christ.

Key topics covered:
- The healing miracle at the Beautiful Gate and its purpose as a platform for the gospel
- The four essential components of gospel proclamation from Luke 24
- Why repentance is the "missing ingredient" in many modern gospel presentations
- Peter's bold sermon deflecting glory to God and confronting religious hypocrisy
- The difference between going through religious motions and genuine faith
- How God wants to bless us by turning us from our wicked ways
- The cost of faithful gospel proclamation and the beginning of persecution
- Practical applications for personal repentance and evangelism today

This message challenges both believers and seekers to examine whether they've truly repented or are merely going through religious motions. It calls the church to faithfully proclaim the complete gospel message, including the call to repentance, regardless of the personal cost.
