Benediction

Vision

All of the Bible in all of life.

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.

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.

ing weeks, please send any prayer requests via email to office@nhopc.org by Sun-

Acts 23:12-35 Conspiracy Theory April 26, 2020 INTRODUCTION: Acts is the work of God’s Holy Spirit in the lives and ministries of the disciples. Last week we saw God’s grace at work in Paul before Sanhedrin: the grace of a cleared conscience, a heavenly hope, and Christ’s call. Today, in the 3 stages of the narrative, we’ll see God’s grace at work in Paul in waiting, in the tremendous contrast between men’s plans and the sovereign Providence of God. STAGE 1: THE CONSPIRACY (.12-15)

A. “The Jews formed a conspiracy… to kill him”

1. Enemy: s____________ God 2. Believer: p____________ 3. Holy Spirit: i____________

B. Pt: God can be trusted in His s____________

STAGE 2: THE DISCOVERY (.16-22)

A. “The son of Paul’s sister heard of this plot”

1. Enemy: p____________ 2. Believer: c____________/c____________ 3. Holy Spirit: d____________

B. Pt: God can be trusted in His c____________ STAGE 3: THE THWARTING (.23-35)

A. “Provide… for Paul… taken safely to Governor”

1. Enemy: f____________ / m____________ 2. Believer: i____________ 3. Holy Spirit: p____________

B. Pt: God can be trusted in His s____________ CONCLUSION: IN GOD WE TRUST

A. Q1: How s____________ is your God? B. Q2: How g____________ is your God? C. Q3: How t____________ is your God? D. Q4: How f____________ is your God?
