New Hope Church

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. —Titus 2:11-14              The grace of God, that is, His undeserved favor upon us— Wow… God’s grace in our lives is awesome!  Look how much He…

They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. —Titus 1:16 Let those who love the Lord hate evil… —Psalm 97:10              There are many who claim to know God, but by their actions, or inactions, they actually deny Him.  Instead, their thoughts and actions are detestable or vile, disobedient and they are unfit for doing anything good.  They show who they really are by loving evil.              On the other hand, those who know God prove so by their actions.  They are loveable, consistently obedient to His Word and seek to do what is good.  Actions…

For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. —II Timothy 4:6-8 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen. —II Timothy 4:18              As the Apostle…

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. —II Timothy 3:1-5              The last days will show forth these characteristics.  The last day being from the time Jesus came until the end of the age (Hebrews 1:2).  During this period there will be terrible times.  People will be— Brothers…

You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. Reflect on what I am…

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. —II Timothy 1:6-7 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light…

Neither he nor his attendants nor the people of the land paid any attention to the words the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.  King Zedekiah, however, sent Jehukal son of Shelemiah with the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message: “Please pray to the Lord our God for us.” —Jeremiah 37:2-3 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.  Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and…

Then Jeremiah said to the family of the Rekabites, “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have obeyed the command of your forefather Jehonadab and have followed all his instructions and have done everything he ordered.’ Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jehonadab son of Rekab will never fail to have a descendant to serve me.’” —Jeremiah 35:18-19 Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire. The king and all his attendants…

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” —Jeremiah 33:3              God’s Word is true and we can trust what He says.  There is nobody else like Him that we can trust in fully.  He said, Wow, this is our Lord God Almighty’s promise to us.  So, brothers and sisters, fellow followers/disciples of Jesus, are we calling on His Name and do we expect that He will answer us?  May it be so, Dear Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. https://youtu.be/bo9ZWX1lEKI?list=RDbo9ZWX1lEKI&t=1018

This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord Almighty is his name: “Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,” declares the Lord, “will Israel ever cease being a nation before me.” This is what the Lord says: “Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done,” declares the Lord. —Jeremiah 31:35-37 “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made…
