Faithfulness Teaching Series

In this new teaching series, we’ll explore the unwavering faithfulness of God and our calling to live faithfully in response. We’ll begin by establishing the foundation of faithfulness—God’s steadfast commitment to His people, even when we falter. As the series progresses, we’ll shift our focus to our response, examining what it means to walk in obedience, integrity, and perseverance. Though each message emphasises our role as faithful followers, the central truth remains: our ability to remain steadfast is only possible because God is faithful first.

Watch or listen to each sermon in the series by visiting the NewHope teaching page. Here you will also find a sermon study guide for each message which can be downloaded to use as a personal devotional or group resource.
