Hope Church LV Sermons

In the final week of our series, Anchored: A Journey Through Isaiah 55, Pastor Patrick teaches from Isaiah 55:12–13. To a weary and discouraged nation living in exile, God promised the Israelites that He could take what had been ruined and create something with purpose again. He promised they would go out with joy and be led forth in peace. That same promise of restoration, joy, and peace is still extended to us through Jesus today. Check out the sermon to learn more!

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan Caro preaches from Isaiah 55:6-11. God extends an invitation to the Israelites living in disobedience to return to Him, showing them that He is a God who abundantly pardons. That same invitation is extended to us today: no matter how far we've wandered or how often we've fallen short, God calls us to come back because His compassion and forgiveness are abundant.

In week 2 of Anchored: A Journey Through Isaiah 55, Pastor Eric Shelner, our Boulder City Congregation Pastor, preaches from Isaiah 55:3-5. In this sermon, we're challenged to reflect on why we so often settle for mediocre satisfaction in our spiritual lives. What things or people, whether worldly pursuits or even good Christian activities, are replacing time spent with Jesus? Pastor Eric reminds us that whatever we're placing above Him, Jesus is far better. Check out this sermon to learn more.

In our Anchored series, we're journeying through Isaiah 55. In this sermon, Pastor Scott preaches from Isaiah 55:1-3, where God invites everyone who thirsts to come and be satisfied in Him. Together, we explore why the things of this world can never truly fulfill our deepest needs, how true satisfaction can only be found in Jesus, and what it looks like to pursue lasting satisfaction through a relationship with Him.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preaches from Acts 6:8–15. What is the goal of the Christian life? It is a relationship with God where He changes me, little by little, to look more like Jesus. From this passage, we learn from Stephen’s life, a follower of Jesus who faced persecution, that as we as we abide in Christ, we become more like Jesus, and the more we become like Jesus, the more opposition we will face. However, as followers of Jesus, we can remain confident in the face of opposition. How can we do that? Check out this sermon to learn more

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 6:1-7. As we study this passage, we see that problems are inevitable as the church grows. Pastor Scott shows how relevant this truth is not only for our church, but also for our personal lives. One principle we learn is that failure isn’t always the result of sin. Sometimes, failure is simply the result of human limitation. Watch the full sermon to learn about the challenges that can arise in the church and how we can continue to remain a healthy church.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 5:27-42. As the disciples continued proclaiming the good news, they faced increasing persecution. Yet rather than obeying the demands of others to stop, they chose to obey God and remained faithful to their mission. In the same way, followers of Jesus today may face opposition when sharing their faith in places where Christ is resisted. The question we must wrestle with is this: What will we do when speaking about Jesus comes at a cost? Check out this sermon to learn more.

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan preached from Acts 5:17-26. As the apostles faced opposition, imprisonment, and pressure to stop preaching the Gospel, God miraculously opened the prison doors and sent them right back to continue the mission. What opposition in your life has started to feel bigger or more permanent than God? Through this passage, we’re reminded that opposition never has the final word because God is always more powerful and more permanent than what stands against Him. Watch the full sermon to learn more!

In this sermon, Pastor Tom McCormick preached from Acts 5:12–16. In this passage, we see God moving powerfully through the early. Miracles were taking place, unity was evident, the church was highly respected by the culture, more people than ever were being saved, and many were being healed. Together, we reflect on whether God is moving with that same power in Hope Church today, and whether we truly desire to be a church like the early church. Could it be that the reason we do not see more of God’s power is not because His power has changed, but because we cause Him to withhold it? And what would cause God not to withhold His power? That is the question we explore in this sermon.

In this message, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 5:1-11. We wrestled with one of the hardest passages in the book of Acts as we looked at the story of Ananias and Sapphira. From this passage, we learned that the greatest hindrance to the advancement of the gospel is not sin outside the church, but sin inside the church. As followers of Jesus, do we understand the seriousness of our sin? Do we have a holy fear of God, knowing that He is not only loving, but also holy? Whatever sin God may be revealing in our lives, let us repent and, by His grace, take our sin seriously by fighting against it. Check out this sermon to learn more.

In this sermon, we were honored to hear from Pastor Gene Staples, our Groups Pastor, as he preached from Acts 4:32-37. n this passage, we see how the early church lived in community. They lived generously by sharing their resources with one another, proclaimed the gospel to those who did not know Jesus, and met the needs of others. In the same way, we as a church are called to live generously in community. What does this look like, and what is your next step toward living generously in community? Check out this sermon to learn more!

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 4:23-31. In this passage, we see how the early church responded to opposition through prayer, boldness, and dependence on God. This message walks through 5 challenging realities of a praying church, including embracing community, believing the Scriptures, trusting the sovereignty of God, praying with expectation, and experiencing the Spirit’s power. So what does it look like to be a praying church that boldly depends on God? Watch this sermon to learn more!

In his last sermon at Hope, Pastor Trenton preached from Acts 4:13-22. When it comes to sharing the gospel, many of us feel like we don't have what it takes, and our response to that is avoiding what we're called to do. From the passage, we learn that the disciples felt the same way and what caused them to have the boldness to preach the gospel. If you're feeling like you don't got what it takes to share the gospel with those around you, this message is for you!

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan preached from Acts 4:1–12, where Peter and John faced opposition for preaching the gospel. As Jesus followers, we will face pressure and opposition as we share our faith, and while people will reject the gospel, the good news is that the gospel cannot be stopped. The gospel is still being shared today, God is still making Himself known, and He is still saving people, so we are not to shrink back but depend on the Lord as we continue sharing our faith. Check out this sermon to learn more!

In Week 2 of Next Step Sundays, Pastor Scott teaches from Colossians 1:27b to 28. In this sermon, we look at what spiritual maturity really means for a Jesus follower and walk through three key realities: 1. Christ in me is my only hope for spiritual maturity 2. Spiritual maturity is not just an option, it’s an expectation 3. Spiritual maturity requires effort Jesus follower, you were not meant to stay the same. It's time to grow! It's time to take your next step in your faith towards spiritually maturity and Christlikeness. Watch this sermon to learn more!

As we kick off week 1 of Next Step Sundays, we’re focusing on baptism, with Pastor Scott Worthington teaching from Romans 6:4. Baptism is a public declaration that says, “I am a Jesus follower.” In this message, we break down what baptism does not do and what it does do, helping bring clarity to its meaning and purpose. If you’ve been thinking about getting baptized or feel God leading you to take that next step, this message is for you. Check it out to learn more!

In this Easter message, Pastor Scott preaches from Matthew 16:13-17. We explore the question Jesus asked in Matthew 16: “Who do you say that I am?” and look at four truths about Him: He is real, radical, raised, and revolutionary. These truths invite us to reflect on our own response to Jesus. So, what do you think about Jesus? This is a question every person must answer. Watch this sermon to learn more!

In this Lord’s Supper sermon, Pastor Trenton preached from Colossians 1:19–20, reminding us that when we need rescue, who our rescuer is changes everything. Jesus is the only one who can truly save us, not only because of who He is, but because of what He has done, reconciling us to God through His death and resurrection. No amount of effort or religion can accomplish what He has already finished. Check out this sermon to learn more about what makes Jesus the only one who can rescue us and how He did it.

This weekend at Hope is Generations Sunday! This is the time where all generations come together in one room to worship, pray, and hear from God's word. In this sermon, Pastor encourages everyone, from kids to students, parents to grandparents, and the whole church to not give up in doing good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith (Galatians 6:10) If you're a student, parent, grandparent, guardian, or a part of the body of Christ, this message is for you!

In this sermon, Pastor Scott introduced “OneLife,” a simple challenge for each of us to ask God, “Who is one person in my life that needs to come to know Jesus?” Every follower of Jesus has been saved to be sent. The gospel is the good news of Jesus, and it is not meant to be kept to ourselves but shared with those who do not know Him. Think of someone in your life who needs to hear it. Maybe it is a relative, best friend, neighbor, or co worker. Who could be your “OneLife” to share the gospel with? Watch this sermon to learn how you can begin sharing with your OneLife.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 3:11-26. After a man who had been lame from birth is miraculously healed, a crowd gathers in amazement and begins looking at Peter and John like they are the heroes. But Peter quickly redirects their attention and makes it clear that the miracle isn't about them, but about Jesus. This passage reminds us that EVERYTHING, not just this story or the book of Acts, or even the Bible, is ultimately about Jesus. Check out this sermon to learn more.

This weekend, we entered chapter 3 of Acts and Pastor Jordan preached from verses 1-10. In this passage, we see a miracle take place when a lame beggar is healed. As we study this story, we discover that not only do we see a miracle, but a window into how Jesus restores people. When Jesus restores a life, the change becomes visible. He restores people in ways that reveal His power to the world, and people wonder. And wonder opens the door for faith. What situation or difficulty are you in that you can bring to God for restoration? Check out this sermon to learn more!

In this sermon, Pastor Tom preached from Acts 2:42-47. In this passage, we see the early church as a devoted church. A devoted church to spiritual things and not earthly things. Why were they devoted? Because they were a Spirit-filled church. They were indwelled by the Holy Spirit, dependent on the Holy Spirit, and controlled by the Holy Spirit. As they devoted themselves to spiritual things, God used their devotion to carry the gospel to the whole world! As followers of Jesus, what are we devoted to? Check out this sermon to learn more!

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Acts 2:37-41 In this passage, we see how people responded after Peter's first sermon about the gospel. People received the gospel, repented of their sins, and responded in obedience to being baptized. The Gospel is for everyone and it demands a response. How will you respond to the gospel today? Check out this sermon to learn more!

In this message, Pastor Trenton preached from Acts 2:14–36. In Acts 2, we see God move as the Holy Spirit is poured out and the early Church begins. Yet even in this powerful moment, many people misunderstood what was happening and failed to recognize it as the work of God. We often want God to move in our lives, but we’re not always sure what that should look like. Acts 2 doesn’t just show us that the Spirit moved; it shows us how to recognize when God is truly at work. If you’re longing to see God move in your life and want to know how to recognize it, this message is for you.

In this sermon, we entered Acts chapter 2 and Pastor Scott preached from Acts 2:1–13. This passage is about the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples, empowering them to boldly proclaim the gospel and marking the birth of the Church, and we dive deep into the significance of Pentecost and what our response should be to it. Check out this sermon to learn more!

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 1:12–26. One of the biggest questions every Jesus follower asks in their walk with God is, “What is God’s will for my life?” In this message, we learn how to discern God’s will and the steps we can take as we walk it out. If you’re asking what God’s will is for your life, this message is for you. Check it out!

In this sermon, we focus on Jesus’ ascension in Acts 1:6–11 and explore three realities from His final moments on earth: Jesus doesn’t always give us what we want, He promises the Holy Spirit and the mission, and He ascends in glory with the promise to return in power. As we take part in God’s mission—loving our city, planting churches in the West, and bringing the gospel to the nations—we are reminded that this work is done not in our own strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

As we kick off our new study, Acts, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Acts 1:1-5. After His resurrection, Jesus spent forty days with His disciples, teaching them about one central theme: the Kingdom of God. God is reigning now, yet the world still longs for the fullness of His rule—what Scripture calls the “already, not yet.” In this message, we explore what the Kingdom of God is, why it matters today, and how Jesus invites us to pray, live, and participate in God’s reign until He returns.

As we kick off the new year, Pastor Scott shares where we believe God is leading our church not only in 2026, but beyond. Check out this sermon to learn more!

This weekend, Pastor Mel Godinez, our Students and Young Adults Pastor, preached for the first time during our gatherings, sharing from John 1:1–16. As we step into 2026, we are challenged to consider who God really is and what we believe He is like. Our assumptions about God shape how much we trust Him, how we relate to Him, and ultimately how we live. What we believe about God shapes how we live every single day.

That is what we focus on in this message. Check it out to learn more!

Money Talks: What It Says and Why It Matters is a two-week study that explores what God’s Word teaches us about money. In Week 2, Pastor Scott Worthington teaches from 2 Corinthians 9:6-7. Last week, we talked about a better way to see money—as a tool God wants to use for us and through us to bless others through generosity and giving. Today, Pastor Scott gives us a practical guide, an “instruction manual” on generosity. This is all about discipleship in one of the most important and often overlooked areas of following Jesus. You’ll learn not just the why, but the how, and take your next step in your journey of generosity. Check out this sermon to learn more!

Money Talks: What It Says and Why It Matters is a two-week study that explores what God’s Word teaches us about money. In Week 1, Pastor Scott Worthington teaches from 1 Timothy 6:17–19. The Bible speaks often about money because money reveals what’s in our hearts. In this sermon, we learned that Jesus isn’t after our money — He’s after our hearts. The way we spend reflects what we value, what we prioritize, and where we place our trust. This message challenges us to see money for what it truly is: a tool. Not something to be used only for ourselves, but something God desires to work through us. Watch this sermon to learn more!

In this sermon, Pastor Jordan Caro preaches from Hebrews 12:3–11. This passage teaches that God’s discipline in our lives is His love for us at work—even when it doesn’t feel like it in the moment.

Check out the full sermon to learn more.

In this passage, we learned that prayer is one of the primary ways we join in on what God is doing around the world. As we pray, God—by His sovereignty—chooses to move through the prayers of His people, opening doors of opportunity and inviting us to step into them to proclaim the gospel. Every Jesus follower is called to share the good news with those who do not know Jesus. Check out this sermon to learn more and see how you can take your next step in taking part of what God is doing in Las Vegas, the west, and the world.

In Week 2 of Hope for the World, we focused on reaching our nation through church planting. Pastor Ricky Harris taught from Acts 13:1–4. In this passage, the local church recognized the need to share the gospel beyond itself and sent out missionaries to do just that.

Whether it's starting a church or joining a church plant, God may be prompting you to take that step. Watch this sermon to learn more!

In week 2 of Anchored: A Journey Through Romans 8, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Romans 8:12–17. Paul makes it clear in this passage — we’re all on one of two roads: one ruled by the flesh or one led by the Spirit. As followers of Jesus, the Holy Spirit lives in us and leads us. But what does it mean to walk by the Spirit? In this message, we learned two key truths: 1️⃣ Fight sin to the death. 2️⃣ Embrace your identity and live free.

In week 1 of Anchored: A Journey Through Romans 8, Pastor Scott Worthington preached from Romans 8:1–11. As followers of Jesus, we’ve been freed by God from the penalty of sin! But that doesn’t mean we won’t still struggle with it. In the struggle against sin, we can easily get discouraged and feel condemned. But, the Bible says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! We can get back up when we fall because God is continuing to free us from the power of sin—and when He returns, He will free us from the presence of sin. If you’ve been feeling defeated or discouraged in your struggle against sin, this sermon is for you.

As we close out our series Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Tom McCormick teaches from 1 John 4:10,19. In this sermon, we focused on the relationship between parents and children and how God calls both to love each other biblically. Parents are to love their children as God loves them—sacrificially and unconditionally. Children are to love their parents by honoring, obeying, and listening to their wisdom. As Proverbs 22:6 reminds us: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” How does God call parents to raise their children? Check out this sermon to find out!

In week 6 of our series, Love Language: What God Says About Relationship, we were honored to hear from Pastor Patrick Detkin, our Lead Pastor of Care and Community. He preached from John 13:34–35.
