Listen to this week's sermon, In the Wilderness preached by Rev. Benjamin Kandt from Numbers 11.Lament Templatehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1iAFgCsPVYWxJF1BqLDBdH24DzsSMv34y4aMqrY8sU1g/edit?tab=t.0
“Oh, you look so serious!” I said to my ten-week-old granddaughter Leilani. She was studying my face with a knitted brow as I talked to her. “I’d be serious too,” I continued, “looking at this world. But you know what? Mama loves you, Daddy loves you, and Baba and Papa (our nicknames as grandparents) love you too. But best of all, Jesus loves you! And that means everything!” Then it happened. Like a cloud letting the sun through, the furrow left her brow and her little face lit up with a smile that melted my heart. Like most grandparents, I’d like to believe she understood me, though that may be a stretch. But perhaps she caught some of the joy behind my words. The simple, innocent joy that shone on her face brought to mind Jesus’ words that we must “receive the kingdom of God like a little child” (Mark 10:15). Jesus said those words as “people were bringing little children” to Him so He might “place his hands on them” and bless them (vv. 13, 16). But “the disciples rebuked them,” thinking Jesus too busy or important. That troubled Him (vv. 14-15). Children are naturally humble and dependent. To receive God’s kindness to us in Christ, we too must turn from pride and admit our need for Him in everything. As we do, He exchanges this world’s hopelessness with the promise of life with God forever. And that should make us smile.

The message focused on spiritual refinement and transformation through trials. We discussed how God uses challenges to purify believers and cultivate virtues such as love, joy, and peace. Personal testimonies highlighted God's presence in difficult circumstances, including experiences with choking and illness, emphasizing grace and reliance on Him. We explored submission to God's timing, the ongoing nature of spiritual dependency, memory, trust, and the importance of maintaining close fellowship with the Lord.Themes:Spiritual refining as gold and diamond analogies (Proverbs 17:3; 1 Corinthians 3:10-11; Revelation 2:17)Trials as tools for growth and purification (Job 23:10; 1 Peter 1:7; Philippians 1:29; Colossians 1:24)Submission to God and ongoing dependence on HimPersonal testimonies illustrating grace, deliverance, and God's presenceMemory, trust, and divine timing in spiritual life (Proverbs 16:1-2; 17:3)Distinction between positional truth and continual spiritual growthFellowship, prayer, and gratitude as means to deepen understanding of God's loveScripture References:Proverbs 16:1-2; Proverbs 17:3; 1 Corinthians 3:10-11; Revelation 2:17; Job 23:10; 1 Peter 1:7; Philippians 1:29; Colossians 1:24; Isaiah 59:19
Zealous for Prayerful Dependence on God's Sovereign Grace
This is message 24 in The Power of God's Name James 5:13-16 Anointing in the name of the Lord is an act of faith that declares total surrender to God's will. It is not a mystical ritual but a recognition that life, health, and even weakness belong fully to Him. Through prayer, confession, and dependence on His power, believers acknowledge that God alone has authority over their circumstances. Whether He grants physical healing or calls them to serve through ongoing weakness, the surrendered life becomes a testimony of His sovereignty, holiness, and grace.

This is message 21 in The Power of God's Name Genesis 4:16-5:32 The descendants of Cain built a society that advanced in culture but drifted far from God, marked by rebellion, pride, and self-sufficiency. In contrast, the line of Seth began to call upon the name of the Lord, openly declaring their dependence on Him. This contrast reveals the spiritual divide between those who live without God and those who walk in faith, showing that true hope and redemption are found only when people humbly turn to the Lord and identify themselves with Him.

Jesus taught that we must come to God as a child. Unless we do, we can not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Today, our last guest speaker, Pastor Dustin Fitzmeier communicates with humor exactly what it means to change and be like a child.
This is message 60 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 64:1-12 When people stop calling on the name of the Lord, they lose the nearness of God, the power of answered prayer, and the shaping work of His hand. Isaiah cries out for mercy, not from a place of innocence, but from a deep awareness that silence toward God leads to spiritual ruin. Only when people turn back to the Lord in Faith, repentance, and dependence can they be restored, shaped and delivered.

We continue our new Summer Series taken from—Psalm 119, Trusting What God Has Spoken. Today, Nick Koole will be bringing the 2nd message in our series and from Psalm 119:9-16. This passage addresses how to live a pure and stable life in a morally unstable world and how then a pure and stable life flows from a heart saturated with and guided by God's Word.

In this inspiring message, guest speaker Michael Rondon takes a break from the regular series to dive into Matthew 5 and the Sermon on the Mount. Michael explores the Beatitudes, unpacking the eight blessings that Jesus presents as a roadmap to a fulfilled life, emphasizing a desperate dependence on Christ and a heart for Scripture. He challenges the congregation to live as "salt" and "light" in the world—called to be rare, precious, and impactful in Jesus' name, influencing their communities without being diluted by cultural values. Michael encourages believers to embrace kingdom values over worldly virtues, pursue intimacy with God, and return to Matthew 5-7 annually for spiritual renewal.

In this sermon from NewCity Orlando's Preach Your Heart Out series, Pastoral Intern Connor Bonello explores the surprising strength found in weakness through the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:1–10. Paul recounts a profound spiritual experience yet shifts focus to his "thorn in the flesh"—a persistent trial that keeps him dependent on God. Rather than removing the affliction, God assures Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."Connor invites listeners to consider how God's grace meets us not in spite of our weakness but because of it. Rather than striving to escape our limitations, we are called to embrace them as opportunities for Christ's power to rest upon us. In a culture obsessed with strength, competence, and control, this message offers a countercultural hope: that in our frailty, we are not disqualified—but uniquely qualified—to reflect the sufficiency of Christ.
What we do with our time is what we do with our lives. Time is a gift from God. What we do with our time can be our gift to God. If we are convinced we shall answer to God for what we did with our lives, then we should also be convinced that we must answer to Him for our time.
This is message 55 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 58:1-12 Fasting is not for God's benefit. It is for us to realize how fragile and weak we truly are and that we need Jesus!

We should pray for the ability to speak the gospel with boldness in response to our obligation as children of God.
Pastor Kirk Hall continues the sermon series, "Living Life in the Light of God's Word." Today's message is titled, "A True Dependence on God" - focusing on Psalm 119:17-24
As God's children, our heavenly Father has made a commitment to take care of us. This extends not just to our finances, but to every other area of our lives as well. When we have a need, we do not have to strive or toil to take care of it ourselves; we can simply respond to God's promise to handle it. This gives us peace and assurance that we can depend and rely on Him for everything. Trusting in God more than in money gives us the proper perspective on financial giving; it allows us to bless others and make a positive difference in their lives. Money is simply a tool; letting God direct us in what we give financially allows Him to bless us abundantly, so that those blessings overflow and splash into others' lives. It is okay to be wealthy as long as we know how to handle our wealth; using it to help others enables Christians to stand out like a bright light, the way God intends for us to.

In this episode, Senior Pastor Damein Schitter interviews Sarah Williamson about her practice of fasting. Sarah shares her initial experience with fasting in college, where it was primarily seen as a special measure for significant spiritual needs. Her perspective shifted when she began practicing regular fasting as part of her church community's "common rhythm," transitioning it from an occasional to a habitual spiritual discipline. Initially, fasting provided Sarah with profound spiritual encounters, described as moments where she felt deeply connected to God's love and presence. Over time, this experience shifted to a sense of "simulated suffering" that fosters deeper dependence on God, preventing spiritual complacency.Sarah also emphasizes the importance of communal fasting, describing how fasting regularly with her church community deepened relationships and mutual dependence. Practically, she details her approach, typically fasting once a week from dinner to dinner, acknowledging challenges such as balancing fasting with family responsibilities and daily tasks. Sarah concludes by encouraging listeners, even if hesitant, to begin fasting in small, faith-driven steps, as a pathway to greater intimacy with Jesus, despite its initial discomfort or confusion.

This is message 22 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 21:1-22:25 Isaish warns of the downfall of nations that rely on human strength rather than God, using Babylon, Edom, Arabia, and Jerusalem as examples of misplaced trust. The watchman's call in Isaiah 21 highlights the urgency of vigilance and dependence on God, while the failures of Jerusalem in Isaiah 22 expose the consequences of pride and self-reliace. The contrast between Shebna and Eliakim reinforces the need for faithful stewardship under God's authority.

Isaiah's warning to Judah was clear—trusting in earthly powers would lead to disappointment and shame.

From navigating unexpected obstacles in purchasing a new trailer to trusting God in uncertain circumstances, he illustrates the importance of stepping out in faith before seeing the miracle.

This is message 9 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 8:1-22 Isaiah urges Judah to trust in Immanuel, God with Us, rather than seeking security in human alliances. Ahaz refuses, turning to Assyria for help, bringing suffering instead of peace. God uses the birth of Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz as a sign that his word will be fulffulled. The people are called to fear the Lord rather than their circumstances, to separate from the world's ways, and to wait upon Him. Those who reject God will stumble in darkness, but those who trust in Immanuel will find their refuge in His unchanging word.

This clarity also revealed the work God had for him, leading to his surrender and willingness to serve: “Here am I. Send me!” A vision of God's holiness brings conviction, aligns lives with His will, and equips His people for His work with a renewed understanding of their dependence on Him.
