https://newsongpeople.com/messages/he-shall-comeWhat do we do with a line like this? “He shall come to judge the living and the dead.”It sounds intense. Maybe even scary. But what if it's actually good news?In this eye-opening sixth message of our Life Blood series, Pastor Josh Blount helps us reframe the return of Jesus—not as a threat, but as a promise. A promise that justice is coming. A promise that pain won't last forever. A promise that our King is on His way.From Acts 1 to Luke 21 to Revelation, this message walks through the signs of the times, the urgency of surrender, and the call to live with purpose. Jesus isn't coming back to catch you slipping—He's coming back to make all things right.Whether you feel overwhelmed by the headlines, asleep in your calling, or just unsure where you stand with God—this message is a wake-up call to stand up, lift your head, and get about Jesus business.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/risen-ascended-the-ongoing-ministry-of-jesusRisen & Ascended: The Ongoing Ministry of Jesus | Sarah BlountWhy does the resurrection still matter today? What benefits are ours because Jesus is alive? And what does His ascension mean for our daily lives?From the empty tomb to the throne of heaven, this message unpacks why Jesus' victory over death is not just a past event—but our present hope and eternal future.Discover why Jesus is not only the risen Savior but also our ever-present Advocate and the only High Priest we'll ever need.Message Notes:Luke 24:1-9 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” Then they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Why does the resurrection matter to us? What benefits are ours through a once-dead-but-now-alive Lord?Christ's resurrection means the death of Jesus was enough.1 Corinthians 15:17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then death has power over Him and defeated Him.If death has power over Jesus, He is not God.If Jesus is not God, He cannot offer a complete sacrifice for sins.If Jesus cannot offer a complete sacrifice for sins, our sins are not completely paid for before God.If my sins are not completely paid for before God, then I am still in my sins.Therefore, if Jesus is not risen, He is unable to save.2. Christ's resurrection gives us power for new life—right now.Romans 6:5-11 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.We are not just practicing the way of Jesus, but we are also participating in His death and resurrection.Romans 8:11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you. 3. Christ's resurrection guarantees our future resurrection.He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.Luke 24:50-51 … and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.Luke 24:52 And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God.The GREAT JOY of the Ascension: 1. Jesus is not absent from us for even a moment.John 16:7 It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. 2. The ascension guarantees that our bodies will be in heaven.Christ's flesh in heaven is the pledge that ours will be there too.Colossians 3:1–3 says So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 3. We have an advocate & intercessor in heavenThe cross was His sacrifice. The resurrection was His victory.The ascension is His ongoing ministry.Jesus, Our Only High Priest. (Heb. 7:27; 9:12, 25–26; 10:10–18).Jesus died in our place, and He lives to pray for us.1 John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;#HeIsRisen #ResurrectionSunday #Luke24 #EmptyTomb #JesusIsAlive #GospelHope #NewLifeInChrist #RisenSavior #VictoryOverSin #PowerOfTheResurrection #Romans6 #Romans8 #EasterMessage #Ascension #JesusOurAdvocate #HighPriest #ChristIsRisen #LivingHope #JesusLives #Colossians3 #1Corinthians15 #FaithInJesus #HolySpiritPower #TheCrossAndResurrection #KingJesus #EternalLife #ChristianTeaching #BiblePreaching #ChristOurIntercessor #HeavenlyHope #SeekTheThingsAbove

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/suffered-crucified-dead-buried-descendedWhat really happened at the cross—and why does it matter for your Monday?In this powerful fourth message of our Life Blood series, we walk deep into the heart of the gospel: the suffering, crucifixion, death, burial, and descent of Jesus. This isn't just history—it's your story. The cross isn't something that just happened to Jesus. It's something that happened because of us—and for us.Pastor [Your Name] unpacks Matthew 27 and the Apostles' Creed to show how Jesus didn't just die for sin—He died for you. To reconcile. To restore. To make you whole. From the brutal reality of the crucifixion to the soul-thirst of spiritual separation, this message shows how Jesus went through hell so you don't have to.Whether you're feeling broken, distant from God, or just going through the motions—this message is an invitation to receive what's free, belong to what's real, and let the gold of grace fill your deepest cracks.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-miracle-meaning-of-the-virgin-birthWhat do you know about what Christians actually believe? In this message, we dive into the foundational truths of the Christian faith, exploring the Apostles' Creed and its powerful declaration that “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.” Learn what Scripture teaches about the Trinity and discover how the doctrine of God as Father shapes our identity, prayer, and daily lives.#Lifeblood #GodTheFather #christianfaith  #trinity  #childofgod #faithfuel  #identityinchrist  #bibleteaching  #christianliving  #spiritualgrowth #kingdomfamily NOTES: We must continually revisit the core truths of our faith, for they are the lifeblood that nourishes our relationship with God. - TozerKnowing what we believe is how we suit up for battle. (Ephesians 6) We can't afford silence. (Romans 10)Belonging to the body of Christ requires belief in specific content. (Romans 10) What do you know about what Christians actually believe?Creeds are not replacements for Scripture—they're faithful reflections of it. They help guard the gospel, articulate truth, and pass the faith from generation to generation.“Theologically hollow congregations and pastors may like to think they will bequeath a gospel legacy to the next generation, but the truth is we only pass on what is our passion. New converts and new kids won't think and live and love like mature Christians, let alone be able to articulate the Christian story, if our beliefs rest in a statement of faith on the website, and not in our hearts.” - DeYoungI believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth,And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell.The third day He arose again from the dead.He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.I BELIEVEThe Christian understanding of faith includes both knowledge and conviction—the head and the heart working together.Faith involves thinking, learning, and engaging our minds.Conviction is what happens when the truth we know becomes truth we trust.The object of our faith matters more than the strength of our faith. It's not the strength of your faith that saves you. It's the strength of your Savior.I BELIEVE IN GODChristians believe in the eternal, triune God. One God in three persons.The Trinity    1.    There is only one God.    2.    The Father is God.    3.    The Son is God.    4.    The Holy Spirit is God.    5.    The Father is not the Son.    6.    The Son is not the Holy Spirit.    7.    The Holy Spirit is not the Father.There are three persons in the one true and living God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are the same in essence, equal in power and glory.1. There is only one God. (Deut 6:4, Isa 43:10, Mark 12:29)2. The Father, Son, and Spirit are distinct persons. (Luke 3:22)3. Each person is fully God. (1 Cor 8:6, 1 Pet 1:3, John 1:1, Titus 2:13, Heb 1:8, Acts 5:3-4)I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earthWe are children of God, not by right of human birth but by the miracle of divine adoption. John 1:12-13 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all. For everything that Christ taught, everything that makes the New Testament new, and better than the Old, everything that is distinctively Christian as opposed to merely Jewish, is summed up in the knowledge of the Fatherhood of God. “Father” is the Christian name for God. – J.I. Packer2 Corinthians 5:19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them.  Romans 8:15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”Behold, ponder, contemplate—be astonished, smitten and speechless “at the great love the Father has lavished on us. (1 John 3:1)How can you apply the truth that God is your Father?1. Pray like a child, not a performer.2. Love the family you've been adopted into.3. Start your day with the Trinity.
