Senior Luncheon (opens in a new tab)A thirteen-week series on what following Jesus looks like in ordinary, everyday life.
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”
Luke 9:23
Most of following Jesus doesn't happen on Sunday morning. It happens on a regular Tuesday, in traffic, at a desk, folding laundry, talking with a neighbor. The Daily Disciple asks a simple question with a lifetime of answers. What does it look like to follow Jesus in ordinary, everyday life?
Across thirteen weeks at New Hope, Pastors Tim Rolen, Mark Addis, and Andrew Lynch walked through the things that shape a disciple, from new birth and the work of the Spirit to Scripture, small groups, prayer, worship, calling, and the joy of sharing our faith. It's a practical, honest look at the life Jesus invites us into, one day at a time.

Two brothers argue over who gets the first pancake. Their mother says Jesus would let his brother have it, so the older one turns to the younger and says, Ryan, you be Jesus today. Pastor Tim Rolen opens a thirteen-week series on what it means to be a disciple.

A sergeant in the Highland Regiment tells the story of the private he tormented. One rainy night the man came in soaked from sentry duty and knelt to pray, so the sergeant threw his boots and hit him twice in the head. He never moved. He kept praying. Pastor Tim Rolen on what stands in our way.

John 3:1-7
A family fills a house with so much trash that they move next door and start again. Pastor Mark Addis uses that to explain the difference between a fresh start and a new birth, and why Jesus told Nicodemus he needed the second one.

Stand on the floor of a forest and you see trees. Get above it and you see the forest itself, its shape and its size. Pastor Andrew Lynch takes the whole Bible at that altitude, from creation to Christ, in one message.

The barn is finished. Before the sermon, New Hope stops to give thanks, name the people who built it, and dedicate the building. Then Pastor Andrew Lynch asks what a child watching a father come home from work has to do with following Jesus.

A man climbs the outside of a downtown building in front of a crowd. Near the top he reaches for something jutting from the wall, closes his hand on it, and falls. What he was holding was a spider's web. Pastor Tim Rolen asks what you are holding onto.

A man reads the Bible cover to cover, gets as far as Genesis, and quits. Old King James, tricky names, very old language. Pastor Mark Addis starts there and gives five keys for reading it a better way, then three things to do with what you find.

"Dear God, so far today I've done all right. I haven't gossiped or lost my temper. But in a few minutes I'm going to get out of bed, and from then on I'm probably going to need a lot of help. Amen." Pastor Tim Rolen asks why we said amen before our feet hit the floor.

Say the word worship and most people think of singing. Pastor Andrew Lynch asks the obvious follow-up: what about the people who do not sing? Can they not worship God?

Somebody once described a leafy Christian: a branch covered in healthy green growth with no fruit on it at all. Pastor Mark Addis answers the question every new believer asks, which is now what, in one word.

Nobody thought to fetch David for the feast. He was the eighth son, out with the sheep, doing the job no one wanted. The prophet who had come to anoint a king refused to sit down until somebody went and got him.

Two brothers fell out, and one hired a carpenter to build a fence so he would never have to look at the other's land again. The carpenter built a bridge instead. Pastor Tim Rolen asks whether we are building bridges or barriers.

When the soldiers came for Jesus at the garden gate, all eleven disciples ran. Days later they were locked in a room, afraid. A few years after that, people in other cities were saying these men have turned the world upside down. Pastor Tim Rolen closes a thirteen week series on that change.
