New Hope Church Calgary

About this original series

New Hope Church is located in the heart of Calgary, Canada. Thanks for dropping in to our video version of our church. What if? What if the moment you're now living is meant for more? What if what you just did over the last hour was supposed to have held much more meaning, reality, and truth? What if God wants everything you do to matter more; everywhere you are to be more significant; every second you live to hold more eternity? Often I think that this is exactly what God wants for us. I think its what he's made us for; to know his presence, to experience his being, to be embraced by his love in all things.Pastor John Van SlotenFrom the introduction to New Hope's upcoming book Website: http://www.newhopechurch.ca

      We continue our series on the parenting heart of God. This morning we're going to focus on the power of parental words.

Through them we express love, sadness, curiosity, awe, and joy—to name just a few. Second, words are a tool of exploration by which we navigate the world. Words, when used well by loving parents, can foster healthy...

    • The Blanket Exercise

      In this service we're going to live out a parable together, one that encompasses the past 500 years of history on the very land we live on. Hearing Aboriginal Voices Georges Erasmus, a respected Aboriginal leader in Canada, has said that “where common memory is lacking, where people do not share in the same past, there can be no real community.
