New Life Fellowship

We should desire to prioritize the same things that Jesus says are important. We begin this series on the book of Matthew by exploring what Jesus declared to be important in His life.

Just like old wineskins, we can become rigid and inflexible. Jesus doesn't want to throw out the old wineskins - He wants to renew them! Listen to find out how to be renewed and stay flexible.

The Good News isn't just that Jesus died so we could be with Him in Heaven one day, but that He rose from the dead so that we could receive His life now.

We are often the reason we get stuck and have a hard time moving forward, but there are very real spiritual dynamics that can hold us back. The armor of God is a supernatural tool that God has given us to overcome the schemes of the enemy and advance!

How do you react when you hear the phrase "things are getting better"? The pattern found throughout Scripture should impart optimism and hope about what is happening in the world now and what we should expect in the future.

People often make choices to walk away from the things that are good for us. We can do this as individuals, but also can choose things corporately. We can invite Jesus to increase His activity or ask Him to stop.

New Life is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and we are using this time to Remember, Celebrate and Advance. Listen as we talk about significant 50s in the Bible.

There are principles that we can learn that release spiritual power into our lives. In this message we look at how our expectations and our ability to let God work on our lives first impact our spiritual lives.

The Bible is full of valuable wisdom for how to handle every area of our life. This message deals with practical wisdom from the book of Proverbs.

"Do not fear" could be another way of saying "Merry Christmas". The fear woven throughout the first nativity story gives us insight into how to process our own fears.

Jesus knows our name because He is our friend. He's not distant or uncaring, but personal and involved in our lives.

One of the steps to dealing with differing viewpoints and perspectives is to begin to see people the way that Jesus sees them.

There is a difference between planning and worrying. Healthy planning positions us to receive all that God has for us, while worrying keeps us from experiencing God's best.

Unexpected storms and trials come up in our lives and how we react reveals our character.

Christians should live differently than the world because we have been empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus includes every one of us into His story and makes us lively stones used to build something eternal.

Some of the stones that come into our lives try to bury us and leave us for dead. Thankfully, we serve a God of resurrection life.

The circumstances and situations that we go through become stones that either weigh us down or build something beautiful. Every stone can become a place of worship to remind us that God works in our life.

Followers of Jesus don't get it right every time - sometimes we miss it in what we believe and how we behave. God knows who we are no matter what we do.

Giving turns money into something supernatural and releases heaven in our lives.

We can hang on tightly to God during difficult circumstances by cultivating an intimate relationship with the One who knows us.

In difficult circumstances, we need to hang on tightly to God and let go of the outcomes. One of the ways we do that is by being connected to God's family.

Jesus came to restore mankind's understanding of who God is.

One of the reasons that Jesus came was to preach the good news that He came to release to humanity. We can all preach simply by sharing what God has done for us.

Jesus came to destroy the devil's work. Any time we come into agreement with Jesus and release kingdom realities, it continues to destroy the devil's work.

Jesus came to level the playing field by elevating the lowly and marginalized. He showed that the way to access the Kingdom was to become like a child.

What Jesus did on the cross made every other aspect of His mission a success. As we look at what Jesus came to do, this message focuses on Jesus coming to seek and to save that which was lost.

Life is full of winning & losing streaks that God will use to teach and shape us. This talk looks at a high and a low from King David's life that we can learn from.

When Samuel asked Jesse to show him all of his sons, David was left out. This look at David's call to be king shows us that there is still a process to go through to get where God wants us to be.

Part of King Saul's downfall was that he never was willing to change in the areas he needed to grow. As we look at Saul's story, we will see that change needs to start on the inside first.

There were good, bad & ugly kings of Israel, but their lives can all teach us something. In this message, we look at what we can learn from God's people asking the Prophet Samuel to give them a king.

The secret to seeing something increase in our life is to give it away. Being a good steward of what Jesus has given us means putting our gifts & talents to use.

Growth is a key part of our relationship with Jesus. There are things we can do - and help each other do - to see this happen.

Jesus really is the answer to all of life's issues. When we create space for people to encounter Him, it changes lives.

We need to look back at where we were so that we can see what God has done. His work in our lives is what helps us to move forward!

Do the sinful things that people do offend us so much that we exclude them from our lives? It's difficult to get to know people and love them if we are offended at them.

Sometimes the offenses that hurt most come from those closest to us. In choosing to be unoffendable, we need to start with guarding those close relationships.

As Christians we are called to live differently than those swept up in the epidemic of being offended at everything. The Holy Spirit living in us is powerful enough to help us choose to be unoffendable.

God wants to bring change into our lives to cause us to be like Jesus, but sometimes we don't know how to go about realizing the change He desires us to make. In this message we look at the concept of repentance and some practical steps to walk it out.

As Christians, we can develop the habit of giving to help us become generous people.

As Christians, we can develop the habit of praying and expect to see powerful results happen.

Developing a new habit brings discipline and self-control into our lives. As Christians, all habits help us deepen our relationship with Jesus, and one of the first ones we need to develop is reading the Bible.

Traditions help connect us to God and to other generations. They help us remember the things that God has done in our lives.

Christmas is ultimately about family and a place to belong. The gospel brought great joy and included everyone.

We are called to be a thankful people no matter what circumstances come our way. When we do this, it invites God's presence and changes us.

When we pray, heaven supplies - instead of worrying or being afraid, we are to be people of prayer.

The most consequential election of our lives is not the one that we get to vote in as citizens of the United States. Our calling and election in Christ gives us influence that doesn't come from winning a vote.

Knowing that there are things that are eternally true help us to be unshakeable even in uncertain times. No matter who looks like they are in charge, we need to remember that Jesus is still Lord!

There really are people in the world that mean us harm, but we are called to love them so that we can truly experience being "Better Together".

Seasons come and go, but the end is never the end. We always need to look for what God has next for us.

As new people, we need to be open to doing new things and trying old things in new ways.
