Bible Verses: 1 Corinthians 13:4-5aPaul defines love as being patient, kind, un-boastful, and humble. One of the key red flags towards a toxic relationship is someone who is all about themselves and doesn't take the time to see you in the relationship.
Bible verses: Matthew 6:19-34; Acts 20:35 Money wants to master us. How do we build resilience to its power in a culture of consumerism and envy? By realizing it isn't ours and by giving it away!

Bible verse: Isaiah 9Christmas for so many is a time of incomparable joy, and for others, incomparable pain. It is a time when we get to be with family, friends, and all that is good. For that reason, it is a time when those who have lost those things feel the deepest pain. The story of Christmas reminds us that one day the King who broke through our world two millennia ago will return to bring about a world where the joys of the holidays will last forever, and the pains that it brings will be forever abolished. This Christmas, live out every day with the hope that one day we will forever live in Holiday Bliss with Jesus as our King and his government as our place of residence. This week, be that hope in the lives of those around us and around the world by giving to the Christmas offering!

This week, invite family and friends to join you for Family & Friends Christmas next week & join us for our Christmas Eve experience.

Bible Verses: John 10:11-12; Matthew 6:11-13 The God who gives also forgives. He provides for our needs and supplies far more grace than we are accustomed to. He does this to give us an abundant life. We can trust God to provide for us when we pray. We know that no matter how we feel about ourselves, He always embraces us as His Kids. This week use the “Our Father prayer” resource to pray to the God who loves you unconditionally.
Bible verses: John 10:7-13; Matthew 6:5-6, 9-10; Mark 1:35We have an extravagantly wealthy Father who is for us. He cares for us deeply and wants us to live life to the fullest.Jesus left us a pattern where he found time to be alone with his father. In his model of prayer, he thought us to address God as Father. This week choose a space where you can begin connecting with your Father regularly. Use the “How to set up your prayer space” resource to get started.
The abundant life is rooted in a praying life. This praying life is deeply personal and it is through it we become accustomed to hearing from God. Jesus himself regularly went to a solitary place in order to pray, so we should too.Series Introduction:Life with God looks radically different than life as we know it. Often what looks trivial in the world around us is essential in the Kingdom of God & what seems crucial in our world is to be abandoned in the Kingdom. Jesus teaches us that life as we know it isn't as fabulous as it appears & he promises a life that we can live to the fullest: The Abundant Life. The abundant life is full of love, joy, peace, goodness, self-control, kindness, and contentment. it is a life driven by prayer. We hope you can join us as we explore how each of us can live the life we've always wanted. Happy Listening!

In a joint worship service with Step Seven Ministries, Newday shares members' generosity from the 2020 Christmas offering while 3 men are also baptized.NOTE: This is the audio from the sermon only.
Relying on God’s love makes love possible in community.
When we love like never before, we will grow like never before!
Friendship is the foundation for any relationship. Biblical Friendship is deeper than one’s family.
When provoked, be patient! Your provocation may be for the next generation!NOTE: We apologize for the muted audio at the 42-minute mark.
In times of provocation, it’s easier to turn on one another instead of turning towards each other. However, a provocation is an opportunity for us to come together not fall apart.
We continue both in James and the story of Hannah and Peninnah.
With so much that happened in the U.S. this past week (January 6, 2020), what should the Christian response be? Is the church to take sides when provoked and poked to? There is a third option.
In the same way that God equals love, God’s people should embody love like no other.
Jesus broke down our deepest divisions so that we can be bridges of peace to our world.
Life together is God’s dream for our world, and the church is the vehicle through which God brings it to reality.
At Newday, we believe Connection matters. Anything is possible when we do it together. Together we are unstoppable. If we pursue life together, we will find peace together, experience love together, grow stronger together, and together transform our world.
Doing life is hard enough; Doing church should be easier. We are committed to taking the obstacles out of the way and making it easier for people to find their way to God.
We believe that God has called Newday to share the gospel like never before, display His love like never before, and disciple the next generation like never before. We believe God wants to accomplish infinitely more in each of our lives than we have ever dared to hope. We want you to join in as we live it out together.
The bible from front to back is a collection of stories about better! It's writers, and central characters all believed in the beauty of better. The beauty of this "better" calls out to each of us in a sunset, in a child, in a pinecone, in a laugh, in a tear, or in a friend. C.S. Lewis called it Joy! This poignant joy, this beautiful better, is nothing less than God's presence calling us back to Himself, calling us back to where we are whole and new and complete and pure. At Newday, we believe in this beautiful, better.
The love inside of our community should spillover on the outside. Our gathering together is meant to motivate us to be a safe place wherever we go, together, serving the world.
Jesus is the hope of an authentic community. By His sacrificial love, He offers us his true love to share. As we receive the love of Christ, we give that same love to each other.
The church should be safe enough for me to share my story and share my struggles and apprehensions, and find unconditional love. It is the one place where no matter where I am in my story, I find the encouragement to stay the course and continue the journey.
The church should look like the triune God! A circle of deep connectedness— so interrelated, interconnected that we become one.
Only broken people can share a genuine spiritual community. Instead of trying to impress each other, we should bare our brokenness to one another to bear the burdens together.
Only the church can model how biological and community family should function
Only the church can demonstrate God’s eternal purpose to rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. Because there are others in God's Creation, he is taking definite time to make sure his church is safe to save and be there with them. Jesus not only proved living a life of submission and obedience is possible, he is counting on his church to do it here in these last days.
While many world religions are based on their religious tenets, Chritians live their lives based on Jesus of Nazareth. If there was no Jesus, there would be no Christian faith for people to live by. What makes Jesus so powerful and believable is that He replicates Himself in every culture and community.
Only the church can be a witness to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. In this first of a new sermon series, Dr. Robert Davis shares how the church receives the Holy Spirit describing the how he moves and what it truly means to be a part of God's church on earth.
The first and most important responsibility the church has in the fight against racism and bigotry in the church is to confront it head on. Paul rebuked Peter in Galatians 2:1-16 because he knew bigotry and racism would undermine the witness of the church, would harm the unity in the body of Christ and would make us unprepared to live in Heaven.
