Sometimes life feels like a roller-coaster — joy and sorrow in the same day. Abraham knew that feeling. In Genesis 18, he met the Lord face-to-face, heard an impossible promise, witnessed divine justice, and stood in the gap for others. When your world shifts between laughter and lament, remember: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” — Genesis 18:14 (NIV) Join us this Sunday at 9:30 AM for “One of Those Mountaintop-and-Valley Days” at NewHope Community Church — a message of hope when life feels up and down. 📍 NewHope Community Church 🕤 9:30 AM 🌐 www.newhope.net.nz | 📧 info@newhope.net.nz Message Notes: https://tinyurl.com/HowToStaySteady Small Group Talk it Over and 5 Day Devotional: https://tinyurl.com/HowToStaySteadyTIO #NewHope, #PastorIanBuckley, #SermonAudio, #GenesisSeries, #AbrahamFaith, #PrayerAndPromise, #GodsMercy, #BibleMessage, #TrustGod, #ChristianTeaching, #NewHopeCommunityChurchNZ

Message Notes: https://tinyurl.com/TrustingGodsTiming25 Small Group Talk it Over and 5 Day Devotional: https://tinyurl.com/TrustingGodsTimingTIO Waiting on God is never easy. Abram and Sarai grew tired of delay, took matters into their own hands, and brought pain into their family. Genesis 16 shows us the danger of impatience — and the faithfulness of a God who still sees and hears us in the mess. In this message, Pastor Ian Buckley unpacks: • Why impatience is faith’s enemy • How God’s promises hold even when we doubt • The fallout that comes when we run ahead of Him • How to wait well with the WAIT principle (Walk slower, Ask God, Imagine worst case, Think of others) 👉 When you run ahead of God, you run into trouble. When you wait on God, you walk into blessing. Join us at NewHope Community Church, Sundays at 9:30 AM (NZ).

Message Notes: https://tinyurl.com/AbramsFailureOfNerve Small Group Talk it Over: https://tinyurl.com/AbramsFaiulreOfNerveTIO When famine struck, Abram faced a test of faith — and failed. In Genesis 12:10–20 we see how fear, half-truths, and compromise silenced his witness, but also how God’s faithfulness never failed. This message unpacks five timeless lessons from Abram’s failure of nerve and shows how we can trust God in our own seasons of testing. #NewHope, #PastorIanBuckley, #Genesis12, #Abram, #Abraham, #BibleSermon, #FaithTested, #FailureOfNerve, #TrustGod, #ChristianTeaching, #SermonOnFaith, #OvercomingFear, #BibleStudy, #ChurchOnline, #ChristianLiving

Pastor Ian explains that although Zacchaeus went to great lengths to see Jesus, their encounter played out according to the Lord’s purposes. Just as a radical transformation took place in the life Zacchaeus, our lives cannot be the same once salvation comes. #Zacchaeus, #Grace, #Repentance, #JesusSaves, #Restoration, #Luke19, #GospelTransformation, #NewLifeInChrist, #SalvationStory, #DivineEncounter, #TestimonyOfGrace, #ChangedByJesus, #NewHope, #PastorIanBuckley, #GreatCommission
