In this new season of our church it is more important then ever that understand our values. What makes us tick? What guides our decision making process? When you cut a New Hope member, what do they bleed? I want to encourage you, even if you think you know what our four core values are to revisit them with me and make sure these values are resident within your own ministries and in your own life. This month is given to rediscovering what makes New Hope different from so many other churches. (video iPod friendly)

We celebrate two years this Sunday and what that means is that we celebrate you! Thank you doesn't come close to telling you how we feel about you and the call of God on your lives. We begin a third year together with more then we ever thought possible. We move together as a team to reach as many as possible while it is still called "today"!

This Sunday's service will be a little more segmented (or liturgical) in format. We will have worship songs as a public response to each of the points in the message. We are taking a look at what the Israelites did to prepare to cross over to the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership. We will prepare our hearts in the same way as we prepare to cross over to a whole new season of ministry for New Hope Seattle!

This week we continue in our preparation for the move to our new building and the adoption of Richmond Highlands Baptist Church. We will look at the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives to direct, connect, and inspect His people. Using Psalm 139 as a backdrop we will see the three ways the Holy Spirit serves as the G.P.S. of the soul!
