Pastor Claude Taylor describes the current Sermon Series at New Hope Presbyterian Church, OPC
Do you ever find the Bible overwhelming?

New Hope Presbyterian Church is committed to the thorough, systematic preaching and teaching of God’s Word to equip believers and to challenge unbelievers.
We begin with the conviction that only God’s Word is truly able to change us—to free us from our limited (and often self-centered) perspective and to lead us to look in humble repentance and faith to Jesus Christ.
We believe—along with the apostle Paul—that “all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”
