New Life on Cape Cod's weekly sermon

On our journey with the Lord, we have all experienced apathy, wearyness and loss of momentum. in this episode we discuss what it means to regain our momentum towards experiencing the promises of God.

In this episode of Deep Dive, Dalene relates a incident where she had to overcome the fear of letting go in order to walk without assistance. There are defining moments in our walk with God where He calls us to let go of fear and disappointment in order to walk in the new season He has for us. How do we overcome those obstacles and rename our future?  

In this podcast we discuss the inauguration, continuation, and consummation of the Kingdom of God and what that looks like to us as beleivers. 

When Jesus came to earth He inaugurated the Kingdom of Heaven and said that the fulfilment of all things would happen over time. We are living in that continuation period; the Kingdom is here but not fully yet. In this continuation period, we still experience death, destruction and the weakness of this age. However, we have Holy Spirit who was sent to help us navigate life, especially when we are weak; He intercedes on our behalf to bring about the will of the Father for our lives. 

Social media and our current western culture all have on thing in common - they are the image makers for countless people, young and old, male and female who long to be someone else, somehwere else, anything but the nagging dispostion of being in their own skin. The Good News introduced by Jesus Christ is that there is a better option than tailoring our own image and likeness: He opened the door to return to the original plan of living with the image and likeness of our heavely Father. 

You are not a nobody, nor are you ordinary. God created us to be extraordinary and put within us the ablity to extend a hand and be a blessing and an encouragment to those around us. If you want to see change in your world, be the catalist that God has created you to be. 

In this final message on the God Who Blesses series, Stephen shares how we are to perpetuate the blessing of reconciling people back to who they were created to be in Christ. He shares four practical ways to bless people in our every day life.

In part two of this series, Stephen shares three contures that guide our understanding of blessing; who is this God that blesses, why does God bless and, Kingdom blessing. 

God, the life sustainer, is the One who blesses and in turn stewards us with the responsabiblity to extend this blessing to all those around us. In part one of this series, Stephen brakes down Genesis 1:28 and what the blessing of God looks like. 

In this message, Dalene looks at the spiritual journeys in the book of Genesis. We, as Christians, are called to be transformed from glory to glory into the Lord's glorious image, 2 Corinthians 3:18. God predestined us all to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, Romans 8:29. The transformation takes place when we yield to the process.

When we come up against the mysteries of God, it's the opportunity to focus our gaze upon Jesus. He reveals the Father to Us. We are called to a viable, personal relationship with the ultimate creator, through Jesus Christ, the only pathway that leads to God. John 14: 8-10 Technical difficulties with the audio Visit us at https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=732301118554444 for the video version. 

We have the power and authority to make right choices and when we do it will move us forward from chaos to clarity. Follow the light and you will flourish. God's desire is for us to flourish. When you live in Christ, his peace will guide your heart and minds. Philippians 4:7

In the last two messages of this series, The Wonder of Worship, we learned about WHAT we worship and WHO we worship. In this third and final part of this series, we will learn HOW we worship.

What exactly is worship? Humans were created to worship. We have an inner longing, put there by God, to worship. Sometimes unknowingly, we can worship the wrong things which will never satisfy. In part one, Stephen covers five things that happen when we worship.

In John chapter 7 Jesus exclaims that He is the living water. In this message Stephen unpacks the further meaning to LIVING WATER and gives a Biblical perspective to the renewing and refreshing waters of God. 

The world has been in crisis mode for a few years and has made hearing God's voice more difficult in the chaos. Hearing the voice of God is not dictated by our outer circumstances but by our connectedness to Him.   

In part two of The Jesus of John, Stephen shows how Jesus was operating in Kairos time, operating in the bigger purposes of God, as opposed to his borthers who were functioning in kronos time, functioning in the natural sequence of events. John reveals that Jesus is not just man but also God, operating within God's salvation plan. 

The book of John has a unique perspective into the life of Jesus, along with the challenges he faced and the culture he lived in. In this series, The Jesus of John, we break down John chapter 7, looking at his perspective of Jesus and take a glimps of how John reveals Jesus Christ as the Messiah, God with us.    

Our redemption leads us to a revelation of who God is and who we are in Christ Jesus. With that revelation is attached a responsibility to live a lifestyle that reflects the presence of God. As much as God is God, teaching and instruction is part of his activity. Are we willing to carry the responsability as God establishes His Kingdom in our hearts. 

Atheists, or non-believers, have accused Christians as being apathetic or ill-informed when it comes to looking after mother earth. Let's take a look at how Christ followers perceive nature, resources, and the earth in clear theology.

We have been doing a number of sessions over the last few weeks on the powers of the paranormal, the entrapment of the enemy, specifically, towards followers of Jesus Christ. But, we rely on Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us from the enemies schemes and things that are attached to the occult. This is part 4B, the final part of this series, "The Presence and Power of the Paranormal".

Our spiritual lives are a struggle and battle against the powers of darkness. We stand against the devil's schemes by putting on the full armor of God, Ephesians 6:10-18. In this message, Stephen walks us through each piece of the armor and gives the Biblical perspective of what Paul was talking about as he wrote Ephesians 6. 

There are three characteristincs indicating involvment in the paranormal and the occult. This week we cover the third characteristic which is any attempt to gain and master power in order to manipulate or influence other people into certain activties, such as witchcraft and wicca and casting spells. 

In part two of our series on the paranormal we discuss the first two marks of the occult. In todays world it is considered normal to seek guidance from a psychic or to consult a medium for personal understanding but the Bible is clear on what God says about these practices. In this message, Stephen unpacks why using these illegal gateways into the paranormal are closed and forbidden by God for our own protection. 

One of the attributes of God is that he is the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding. In this weeks podcast we talk about the difference between knowledge and wisdom and how the wisdom of God reveals His heart towards humanity. 

Whats wrong with a little ghostly entertainment? Only 28 percent of church goers said they received any teachings that helped shaped their view of the supernatural world. We aim to help with that.

Surveys say 60% of evangelicals polled (State of Theology Survey - Ligonier Ministries and Lifeway Research) were confused about the Holy Spirit - believing that “the Holy Spirit is a force but is not a personal being” Macedoniansm was a fourth-century heresy that denied the full divinity or personality of the Holy Spirit; that is a heresy we challenge with Scripture.

A.W. Tozwer writes, "God perfectly knows Himself and, being the source and author of all things, it follows that He knows all that can be known.."  This week we talk about God being Omniscient and Omnipresent, all knowing and always everywhere, and the steps to help us recongize His presence in our daily lives.   

Do you think you need to earn your way to God by doing good works? Pelagianism is a 5th-century heresy that has crept back into the church of today - it is a self-works salvation essentially obtained through will-power. The truth is that it is the grace of God, the unmerited favor, that brings salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

56% of Evangelicals in America believe that there is no one way to The Father. In part two of Combating Heresies, Stephen brings shares the biblical foundations for why Jesus is the only way to The Father. 

There are christian heresies, the opposition or rejection of the bible and it's theological teachings, that have crept into the Church and Body of Christ. In this episode we tackle the heresy that 'Jesus Was Just Another One Of Us'.

God is immutable and self-sufficient. In this episode of Understanding God, we talk about how God never changes and He has no needs. What does that look like for a humanity that is full of need and constantly changing our thoughts, ideas and emotions. 

We are part of God's plan from the beginning. We carry the name and the mark of God upon us as his children. God has given us his name, therein, gives us the authority to do what God has called us to do and there is a place of safety under the shadow of the Almighty.

We cannot worship what we do not know, and God has made known who He is by revelaing His attributes to us. As we kick off our new series on the attributes of God, we talk about why it is important to understand who He is.

Stephen wrapes up this series on God's keeping power according to Psalm 91 and how to deal with a spirit of fear in our world today. 

In part 2 of our Psalm 91 series, Stephen breaks down the text into sections that reveal the protection and the pledge of the Lord towards those that love Him. 

"He who dwells in the secret place fo the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." It was always God's intent to dwell with His people. In Part one of our Psalm 91 series, Stephen and Dalene unpack verse 1 and the realities of abiding in the secret place. 

On this episode of Deep Dive we look at Psalm 91 and how all the promises of His protection rests upon the condition of verse one. 

In this final message of our Boldy series we look at the prophet Micah who chose to live out boldly, prophesying about the coming Messiah who would ultimatly fulfill the perfect plan of God.  

In part three of our series we look at the life of David and the three qualities that got a fallible man like him favor in the eyes of a good God. 

In part two of our series, we look at the life of Joshua and how his boldness changed the course of his nation. 

Boldness looks different in the Kingdom of God. In this episode we look at Biblical examples of boldness and how we as believers get to walk out in boldness in our everyday lives. 

It takes a level of boldness to live with today's struggles and battles. We're not alone in it. Join us in this series as we take a look at how the bible gives instruction to help us overcome these challenges.

Have you ever felt the sting of indifference? It's a lack of concern, interest or feeling towards another. Indifference causes pain and suffering. We all fall into this trap, but we can choose to make a difference in someone's life by simple acts of love.

Do you know that God's grace is a gift and is sufficient? It is unmerited favor that brings us into perfect peace, a place that we have access to. In this beautiful message we learn through scripture about the peace that Jesus gives us, the place that He prepares for us, and of His everlasting promises.

God is very intentional in the way that He leads and guides us. One of those ways is through His nudgings; voiceless conviction or your gut instinct. In this podcast we talk about what those nudgings look like and how they are interlinked in helping us more forward in our journey with God. 

Often we look for the big and spectacular in needing God's guidance in particualr areas of our lives. Most often it is rather the nudges, inclinations and the quiet still voice of God that leads and guides us. In this message Stephen encourages believers to develop a discerning and intuitive ear, and shows how this is possible. 

In this journey called life we are often surprised by circumstances and find ourselves unprepared to face them. In this episode, we share ways in which we can prepare for life's unexpected curvballs and how to find our strenght in our connection with Jesus. 

We are reconciled to God through the ressurection of Jesus Christ. In this final message for this series, Stephen helps you discover what the ressurection of Jesus means to humanity on a practical level. 

Stephen looks at the greek word for Reconciliation and unpacks the power of the reconcilitry work of Jesus Christ for all mankind, including the scriptures saying He reconciled the world to God, and what that looks like for us today. 

Phillippians 2:5 talks about Christ's mindset being our motiviation. Having the mindset of Christ changes the way we view the world, our curcumstances and the life we live.
