A Fall Sermon Series at
New Hope Community Church in Clovis
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,
who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
- James 1:5
What’s been stirring in you lately?
Not every message needs to be part of a long series to speak deeply.
One Week Wonderings is a collection of stand-alone sermons.
Each week brings a new focus, rooted in Scripture and real life.
Some messages will challenge. Some will encourage.
All will speak to the kinds of things that rise quietly in our hearts. Those questions, longings, and moments we can’t quite name.
Throughout the fall, our pastors will open God’s Word and help us reflect on what it means to follow Jesus in the everyday.
SEPTEMBER 14 - NOVEMBER 16
Ten Wonderings
The Call of Samuel
In a world clouded by noise and confusion, God calls us to fix our minds on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. In this message from Philippians 4:8, we explore how our thoughts shape our lives and how clear thinking leads to a life anchored in Christ. Discover the peace and clarity that come when your heart and mind are renewed by God’s Word.

The X Factor
Some lives carry something unexplainable. Not talent. Not status. Something deeper. In this message, Pastor Mark reflects on how the Holy Spirit is the difference. The X Factor is what turns ordinary moments, people, and decisions into something extraordinary. From creation to Pentecost, from Gideon to the early church, God has always empowered those who depend on Him. And He still does.

Thinking with clarity in a murky world
Samuel’s story begins with a voice in the night, and the challenge of learning to recognize that it was God who was speaking. Pastor Mark will help us see the importance of listening with more than just our ears, of having people in our lives who point us toward the Lord, and of stepping into obedience when God calls.

House of Prayer
In this message, Pastor Kyle reminds us that when Jesus said, “My house will be called a house of prayer,” He wasn’t talking about a building but about His people. God’s Spirit now dwells within us, calling each believer to live as His dwelling place. Through Isaiah 56 and Matthew 21, we learn that prayer is not just something we do but the way we stay close to God’s heart. Discover what it means to live as a true house of prayer—open, listening, and alive in His presence.

Fear & Anxiety, Part One
In this message, Pastor Mark takes us into the reality of fear—not as something we pretend away, but something God meets head-on. Through Luke 8, 1 Kings 19, and 1 Samuel 17, we see how fear paralyzed the disciples, overwhelmed Elijah, and stood towering before David. Yet in every moment, God showed up—with presence, power, and peace. This message is for anyone who’s tired of carrying quiet anxiety alone. Watch now and hear what happens when fear meets the living God.

Fear & Anxiety, Part Two
In this message, Pastor Mark continues exploring how fear and anxiety can quietly take control of our lives—and how God gives us a way through. Looking at stories of Elijah, Moses, and David, we see how doubt, lies, and distraction can draw us away from trust in God’s sovereignty. Yet in every story, God proves faithful. When we name our fears, replace lies with truth, and fix our eyes on Him, peace becomes possible again. Watch now and take a step toward freedom from fear.

Guarding God’s Gifts
In this message, Pastor Mark explores what it means to live as faithful stewards of all God has entrusted to us. From time and resources to spiritual gifts and creation itself, we’re reminded that everything belongs to Him. Drawing from Psalm 24 and the Parable of the Talents, we’re invited to move from ownership to stewardship—offering back to God what was never ours to keep. Watch now and take a step toward living with open hands and a faithful heart.

Wherever you are, you’re welcome here.
You don’t have to have the right words, the right background, or the right answers to be part of what God is doing.
You just have to come.
We believe God speaks through His Word.
We believe He meets us in our wondering.
And we believe He is already at work in your story, even if you’re not sure what comes next.
So come. Bring a friend. Bring whatever’s on your heart.

Rebuilding Walls, Restoring Faith
Explore how Nehemiah’s faith, courage, and leadership led to the restoration of Jerusalem’s walls—and its people.
The story of Nehemiah is about more than rebuilding walls; it’s about rebuilding hope, community, and faith. Called by God to restore Jerusalem, Nehemiah led a broken and scattered people with vision, prayer, and determination. His journey reminds us that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things when we trust Him with the work.
Nehemiah’s story is one of perseverance through opposition, prayer in every circumstance, and faith in God’s promises. It’s a powerful reminder that no matter what feels broken in our lives or communities, God is in the business of restoration.
