New Hope Church

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. —I John 3:1-3 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. —I John…

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete. —I John 1:1-4 My dear children, I write this to you…

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. — II Peter 1:3 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be…

As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. —I Peter 4:2 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. —I Peter 4:10              What is your purpose in life?  Who are you living for?  Why are you living?  Those who have called on Jesus to save them “do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.”  Is that what you and I, as followers/disciples of Jesus, are doing?…

“All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” —I Peter 1:24-25 For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. —Psalm 33:4              Grass, people, flowers— their glory is fading away, withering and will be no more.  But God’s Word is not like that.  The glory of His Word endures forever.  His Word “is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.”  Only our Lord “is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.”  That can be…

Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.  Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit. —Psalm 32:1-2  Forgiven!  “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all…

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.  Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. —James 1:21-25 In the…

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. —Hebrews 11:1 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. —Hebrews 11:26 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” —Hebrews 13:5              What is our faith like?  Are we “confidence in what we hope for?”  Do we have the “assurance about what we do not see?” …
