Core Values

We worship God | We study the Word

We love people | We depend on prayer

Purpose

We desire to increase the number and maturity level of followers of Jesus Christ, first by

sharing with them the good news about Jesus, second by enfolding them into a fellowship

of believers, and finally by teaching them how the Bible, God’s Word, applies to all of life.

About Us

We are affiliated with the Orthodox Presbyterian Church which has been planting churches

and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ since its inception in 1936. We believe God's

infallible and life-changing Word and the historic Christian faith as summarized in the

Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms.

This Week at New Hope

Dear Friends and Family,

The session has made the decision to suspend all gatherings at New Hope of 10 or more people, in accordance with Governor Evers’ direction, aimed at limiting the spread of the coronavirus called Covid-19. This includes all events through the end of the month as well as Sunday and weekly ministries.

The suspension of meetings over 10 people applies to any group whether it is connected to New Hope or not. These groups are being directed to either cancel meeting or work out ways to meet online or in other formats.

Your access to pastors, elders, or the office will not be reduced. During regular office hours you can expect to call (920-468-8565) and email (office@nhopc.org) the church office and contact someone. If you need to get in the building, contact the church office before coming. There may or may not be someone there as staff will be doing a mixture of working from home and the office. If there’s a concern or request, the pastors and elders will still be available.

In this brief update we wanted to encourage you that the Lord is using this difficult and ground-shifting time of upheaval for His own good purpose and will. Although it might look a little different, we are still able to grow in grace. We plan to point to resources and opportunities in the coming days to aid you and the whole New Hope family.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, The Session of New Hope

COVID-19 Updates

While we have had to make the decision to suspend all gatherings at New Hope of

10 or more people, in accordance with Governor Evers’ direction, we want to en-

courage you that the Lord is using this difficult and ground-shifting time of upheaval

for His own good purpose and will. Although it might look a little different, we are

still able to grow in grace! We will do our best to give you updates via email and our

website - www.nhopc.org/coronavirus-updates.

Acts 22:22-30 "I'm from the Government April 5, 2020 and I'm here to Help" INTRODUCTION: Today's passage is more than narrative filler between the defense of Paul before the Jews and before their leaders. As God's word-for-word inspired Scripture, it teaches us and is applicable to life, especially as we in Christ relate to government. Note 3 considerations for us in such endeavors. CONSIDERATION 1: THE WELFARE OF PEOPLE (.22-24a)

A. “‘Rid the earth of him! He’s not fit to live!’” 1. = Misunderstood r____________ 2. = Misapplied p____________ 3. = Missing m____________

B. Pt: God's people p____________ people CONSIDERATION 2: THE STANDARD FOR BEHAVIOR (.24b-29)

A. "Is it legal for you..." 1. The need for law: s____________ man 2. The purpose of law:

a. R____________ God b. R____________ man

3. The response to law: o____________ man B. Pt: God's people a____________ law

CONSIDERATION 3: THE REALITY OF TRUTH (.30) A. "The commander wanted to find out..."

1. The e____________ of truth 2. The i____________ of truth 3. The q____________ for truth

B. Pt: God's people s_________________ truth

CONCLUSION: CONSIDERATIONS ⇒ PRINCIPLES FOR LIVING

A. Q1: Do you v____________ truth? B. Q2: Do you r____________ the law? C. Q3: Do you l____________ people?
