New Week Message
When people encounter you, whether they’re new acquaintances or seasoned, what about you indicates to them that you are a Christian; follower of Jesus?
Humans wear hats with emblems, T-shirts with slogans and symbols, belt, buckles to show their rodeo status, get tattoos… And more to identify connections.
We tend to identify with groups and causes greater than ourselves. These identifications give our lives what existential psychologists refer to as “meaning”. Baptist Pastor, Rick Warren, recently sold millions of books around the topic “The Purpose Driven Church” and sequel books…about the purpose driven Christian.
So… How do you present as a Christian? Frankly, when some hear that one is a “Christian”, they think of some arrogant, judgmental, holier-than-thou person who is about to state the other is condemned, in their view; doomed to hell. And select Bible verses are their text weapons!
At New Hope we let everyone know they are beloved. We help people discover and put their gifts to work. We pray for each other and all others. We explore the Bible and grapple with information therein to inform our lives. We welcome rather than exclude. Grace and striving for holiness ….rather than condemnation. Want these identifiers lived at New Hope, per Jesus?
Then New Hope is for you!
Here we go!
Interim Pastor, Jeff Swanson

Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends
For many years, I’ve been thinking about the history of “salvation” teachings in the Church, beginning amongst the first Christians. So, I’ve decided to write a series of short essays. Limited to 500 words each. Easy reads...click on the button to begin :)
