Sunday morning service was a powerful reminder to refocus and realign. Evangelist Malloy set the atmosphere with a heartfelt opening prayer, preparing our hearts for what God had in store.

The praise team led us into worship with “I Really Love the Lord” and took us higher with “Glory and Honor Is Due Him,” creating a moment of sincere praise and reflection.

Our very own Minister Delia Samuels delivered a timely word from Lamentations 3, “Shift Your Focus.” One key takeaway that stayed with us: your focus is a choice. No matter what we face, we have the ability to redirect our attention back to God’s faithfulness.

It was a service that challenged us, encouraged us, and reminded us to keep our eyes on Him.

We came in on fire this Resurrection Sunday! Evangelist Samuels opened us up with a powerful prayer that set the atmosphere, and the praise team carried us higher with “Be lifted higher, King Jesus!”

As we reflected on the sacrifice at Calvary and celebrated the resurrection, it stirred up a praise in the room—because He got up, we have victory!

Pastor brought a powerful word from John 12 and 1 Corinthians 15: “Buried But About to Break Through.” What looked like the end was only preparation for what God was about to reveal.

We also gathered at the table for Communion, remembering His body and His blood—grateful for the sacrifice that changed everything.

We’re excited as we prepare for our Resurrection Sunday service! Join us at 10am as our Pastor concludes his powerful sermon series, “The Great Exchange.”

Together, we will celebrate the death, burial, and most importantly the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the foundation of our faith and the reason for our hope.

Come expecting a powerful move of God and a time of worship, reflection, and victory. We look forward to seeing you there!

This Palm Sunday, the atmosphere was filled with praise from the very beginning

The praise team opened with “Hallowed be Thy name, You are the only one—Father, Spirit, Son”… and before we could even move on, the room shifted. Worship took over as we lifted a unified declaration: “Hosanna! Blessed be the Rock!”
It became more than a service—it was a moment of pure praise.

Pastor then brought the Word from Matthew 21:1–11 with the message: “A Donkey for a Throne—Appreciate Your Donkey Season.”

He reminded us that even in seasons that feel low or overlooked, God is still preparing us for greater.

One powerful takeaway:
“Elevation is not just about position—it’s about preparation.”

A powerful Palm Sunday filled with worship, reflection, and a reminder to trust God in every season

We started the morning with a powerful, heartfelt prayer led by Minister Samuels, setting the tone for what would be an impactful service. The praise team followed, ushering us into worship with “In My Life Be Glorified” and “You Get the Glory, You Get the Praise, Thank You,” and the atmosphere quickly filled with sincere praise and gratitude.

Pastor moved right into the Word, reminding us of the declaration: “I will bless the Lord, and His praises shall continually be in my mouth.” The message, “Make the Devil Mad By Any Means Necessary,” challenged us to stay consistent in our praise no matter what we face.

We were reminded that when we choose to praise God in every situation, we step into a role the enemy once had—giving God glory. And that kind of praise? It shifts the atmosphere, strengthens our faith, and keeps us aligned with God.

It was a powerful morning of prayer, worship, and a Word that encourages us to keep praising—no matter what.

New FDA-Approved Blood Test Could Revolutionize Colorectal Cancer Screening

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., even though it’s highly treatable when caught early—with a 91% five-year survival rate for localized cases. Yet, more than 50 million Americans—1 in 3 eligible individuals—are not getting screened, often due to the discomfort, inconvenience, or inaccessibility of current methods like colonoscopy or stool-based tests.

With Shield—the first blood test approved by the FDA as a primary screening option for CRC and the first to meet performance requirements for Medicare coverage—we have the potential to finally close the gap that’s costing tens of thousands of lives each year.

Fast Facts:
• High Completion: Over 90% of patients prescribed the Shield test complete it.
• Proven Science: Shield demonstrated 83% sensitivity for detecting CRC in the landmark ECLIPSE study.
• Ease of Use: It is a simple blood draw, making screening more accessible than ever before.

Talk to your doctor about whether the Shield blood test is right for you.

We had a powerful time in the Lord this morning at New Hope Worship Center. The atmosphere was set as the praise team led us into worship with the heartfelt selection “Here’s My Worship,” followed by the powerful declaration “Yes Lord, Amen.” The congregation joined together in sincere worship as we lifted up the name of the Lord.

Following worship, Pastor Cotten introduced the preacher for the morning, Minister John Cotten III, who delivered a timely and impactful message from Mark 6:30–44 titled “Rest in a Desolate Place.”

Minister Cotten reminded us that while prayer is essential, there are moments when faith requires action. In seasons where things feel empty or desolate, God is still able to move—but we must be willing to respond, trust Him, and take the steps He calls us to take.

It was a powerful word that encouraged us to rely on God, even in difficult seasons, and to understand that sometimes breakthrough comes not only through prayer, but through obedience and action.

We thank God for the word and for what He continues to do in our church family!

What a powerful morning in the house of the Lord! We opened together with the congregational hymn “Holy, Holy, Holy,” lifting one voice in reverence to our great God. The atmosphere was set as we honored His holiness and sovereignty.

Our praise team then led us into heartfelt worship with the reminder:
“So many doors You’ve opened, so many ways You’ve made, You’ve been so good to me.”
And truly, God has been faithful in every season!

Pastor brought forth a powerful word from Luke 22 entitled “My Will for God’s Will.” We were challenged to surrender our own desires and trust God’s perfect plan—just as Jesus did in the garden. Communion was a sacred moment of reflection, gratitude, and recommitment to aligning our will with His.

We left strengthened, reminded that surrender is not weakness—it’s trust in the One who knows the end from the beginning.
