Rest is a gift of freedom, given by God to his people. How might we walk with God even when we're "off the clock"? February 23rd, 2020

Money is a fact of life for humans living on earth. How might God direct our everyday experiences with money and wealth, from earning and creating to spending and giving? February 16th, 2020

As we continue to expand our perspective of how God is at work in our everyday life, we turn our focus to Work and School.  Listen to the reflection song "Day by Day" by the Porters Gate February 9th, 2020

Is this world our home? God made Adam and Eve to live and work on earth, but other parts of the Bible seem pretty suspicious of "the world".  February 2nd, 2020

Have you ever felt like being a Christian is an “extracurricular activity”? This week we begin a series exploring how, rather than being “competition” for our Christian life, the stuff of everyday life is one of our most important opportunities to love God and love our neighbor. The first part of this series explores the calling God gave Adam and Eve. And it's more than just "don't eat from that one tree".  January 26th, 2020    

Even though Daniel has confidence that the end of the exile is coming, he still must hope in God in the meantime. Also, we pray for the Armstrong family as they begin a five month sabbatical. January 19th, 2020

Daniel and his three friends spent three years being rigorously trained in the language, culture, and customs of Babylon. Kind of reminds us of college! What does it mean to hope in and live for God's kingdom when our lives are immersed in the "kingdom of this world"? January 12, 2020 [Part I of this series is not available on the podcast, unfortunately]

It's the third week of Advent (and our last Sunday meeting on campus for 2019): The Clay family shares a reading and lights a candle, and Pastor Graig discusses Joy that is rooted in the promise of Christ. You can also check out the "Advent: Joy" video from the Bible Project.  December 15th, 2019

It's the second week of Advent: The men from our CCS life group share a reading and light a candle, and Pastor Kevin highlights the Peace Christ's life brought, even while he was just a newborn.   Also, check out this "Advent: Peace" video from The Bible Project. December 8th, 2019

The 2019 Advent Season has begun! Each week we'll start with an advent reading (along with a candle lighting), followed by a teaching on one of the advent "virtues". We begin with "Hope". Each week, we'll also watch a short advent video from The Bible Project. Watch the "Hope" video here. December 1st, 2019  

Pastor Kevin offers some tips for navigating the (potential) stress of the Holiday season, followed by Pastor Graig concluding our semester-long series on the Sermon on the Mount. November 24th, 2019

New Life Detroit Missionary, Sue, shares how Jesus' instruction to pray shamelessly, audaciously, and persistently has influenced her lately. [Due to the potentially sensitive nature of her missions work, Sue's last name and location have been censored in the recording]. If you're interested in giving toward Sue's missionary work, you can make a gift at Reliant.org/Su.Sa    

When social media, the news, work, and relationships all seem to be adding to our anxiety, is there any hope? Kevin reflects on Jesus' words from Matthew 6, and invites Ciara Linden to share what she has learned from her personal journey with anxiety. November 3rd, 2019

Jesus says that "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21). As we pursue Jesus, we have an opportunity to invest in Eternal things.  October 27th, 2019

Jesus taught his disciples a prayer that we know today as “The Lord’s Prayer”. This week, we’re doing more than talking about prayer: we’re practicing it. As you listen along, there will be opportunities to pause and pray on your own as we follow the pattern of the Lord’s prayer.    October 20th, 2019

In Matthew 6, Jesus urges his followers to reconsider whose praise they are seeking when they do "good deeds" or practice "spiritual disciplines". First, he addresses giving to the needy.  October 13th, 2019

Of all the "upside-down" ways of The Kingdom, Jesus' command to "love your enemies" may be the most unconventional.  Important content note: While Jesus calls his followers to be abundantly forgiving, even to their enemies, we do not believe this is a command to  tolerate abusive situations. If you need help dealing with an abusive or unhealthy relationship situation, please contact Pastors@newlifedetroit.org.   (Today's sermon is a lower quality recording than usual, our apologies for the technical error) October 6th, 2019

The powerful goodness of human sexual desire makes it vulnerable to powerful corruption. When lust offers a cheap alternative to beautiful sexual desire, Jesus teaches his followers to take severe action to guard themselves. September 23, 2019

In Matthew 5, Jesus "raises the bar" and teaches his disciples that it's not enough only to resist violent actions: the anger within our hearts must also be dealt with. And when conflict comes between two people, dealing with that conflict becomes a surprisingly high priority.  September 15th, 2019

As the sermon on the mount continues, Jesus declares that his followers are "salt", "light", and a "city on a hill" in this world. What's that all about? September 8th, 2019

The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12) describe a kingdom that may seem upside-down, where things that appear weak and dishonored are actually blessed.  September 1, 2019

A new school year is upon us! As new and returning students arrive at Wayne State and CCS, we share our dream that, bit by bit, God's kingdom would come to this city. August 25th, 2019 (6:01pm)
