Welcome to Newbreed Christian Community!As our FIRM FOUNDATION teaching series continues, we conclude this season with a special interactive session designed to address some of the most pressing questions believers ask. Sound doctrine is strengthened not only through teaching but also through honest, biblical conversations that bring clarity to difficult topics.This special session is titled:

Welcome to Newbreed Christian Community!As our FIRM FOUNDATION teaching series ends, we are reminded that the ultimate goal of the Christian life is not merely answered prayers, spiritual gifts, or religious activity—it is knowing Jesus. And one of the greatest pathways into deeper intimacy with Christ is a life of persevering prayer.This week's teaching with Pastor David Oghenerobor is titled:

John 3:18–19:“My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.”

We think of her as a genteel Southern lady, and she was that, for sure.But Ruth Bell Graham was so much more. While her husband was away so much, preaching to the masses, she was preaching to her own little flock. The result was children who became adults, and in turn, shared the Good News of Jesus with others.Anne Graham Lotz and Franklin Graham didn't just fall out of the sky!Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another.”In their little home in the mountains of North Carolina, while Daddy was in Brussels, New York, and Sydney, Mother Ruth was faithful for years on end to impart godly wisdom to their children. Much iron was sharpened on cold winter nights and long summer days. Theirs was a home that didn't always have both parents available, but they thrived.Use that as an example of how to bring up your own children. You'll be happy forever that you did.Let's pray.Lord, Your Word is good, and it shines a light on our path. Give us the strength to mentor our own children in your ways.

1 Corinthians 1:20, For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.   One could consider the title of this talk a bit misleading, as people typically think of answers to prayer as yes, no, or wait. I would like for us to think of prayer in a bigger context. We typically think of prayer as concerning something that we need or want, and this is appropriate. But let me challenge you to think of prayer in view of the greater purposes of God, in which we are participating in God's plan, not making the seeking of benefits our primary aim. I'm thinking about the song we sang in my grandfather's Baptist church: “Jesus Is on the Main Line, call Him up and tell Him what you want.” I'm not sure what that song would sound like in this age of wireless mobile communication. But our text speaks to something much greater than telling Jesus what we want. In this text, we are learning something from the experience of the Apostle Paul. Verse 19 reads: “For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.” In context, we learn that Paul had been criticized for changing his plans and seeming inconsistent. What he affirmed is this: It is not so much about what you want or what you are praying; it is about doing what is consistent with the will of God. This is the reason he stated that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was not about “yes or no” in human terms. It is all about finding the “Yes” in Jesus. Simply stated, Paul said yes to Jesus rather than doing what was on his mind or in his plan. He was willing to shift in order to remain consistent with the Lord.

Send us Fan MailA skyscraper in midtown Manhattan was inspected, signed off on, and certified safe. Days later, construction workers watched two steel columns buckle under 16 stories of weight. In this final episode of the Firm Foundation series, Jess unpacks what "falling bricks" look like in a human life, and the four things engineers did to save that building that mirror exactly how God builds strong people.Discover:The NYC Pfizer building collapse and what went wrong beneath the surfaceWhy "certified safe on paper" isn't the same as actually being strongFour engineering responses that map directly to spiritual growth: inspect, stabilize, investigate, rebuildHow 10 minutes a day in the Word functions as structural steel under your lifeMost of us don't collapse all at once. We just keep adding floors. New responsibilities, new pressures, new seasons on top of a frame nobody's checked in years. This episode is a gut-check invitation: not to panic, but to let God walk the floors of your building before a crisis forces the inspection. It's practical, it's honest, and it might be the nudge you didn't know you needed.Key Takeaways:Falling bricks (short fuse, skipped prayer, defensiveness) are symptoms, not the problem. They're clues to something deeper.Daily time in the Word isn't homework. It's shoring.

Pastor Dominic continues our sermon series in the Gospel of Matthew, preaching from Matthew 16:13–20. In this message, he examines the pivotal moment when Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Focusing on Peter's profound confession, Pastor Dominic explores the significance of building our lives on the only true, unshakable foundation: Jesus Christ. As we navigate a world that offers many shifting foundations, this passage reminds us that the church endures not because of human effort, but because it is built by Jesus, who remains our rock, our cornerstone, and our Savior.

In today's Rooted in Christ reflection, we continue through 1 Corinthians 3, where Paul confronts the divisions within the Corinthian church and reminds believers that true spiritual maturity is marked by unity, not rivalry. We explore why Paul insists that neither the one who plants nor the one who waters deserves the credit—only God gives the growth—and what that means for pastors, churches, and our own faith. Along the way, we consider the importance of building our lives on the only foundation that can withstand life's fires: Jesus Christ. This episode is an invitation to pursue unity through the Holy Spirit, resist placing our trust in human leaders, and rest confidently in the faithfulness of Christ, our firm foundation.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

The United States of America is the youngest country in the entire world. However, it is also the most successful country the world has ever known. Why? Because the intellect of men? Or is it that those men that did form this great nation did so under the inspiration of God and on His principles that they found in the Word of God. They began building this nation on a firm foundation.  A foundation is kept will see this nation continue to impact the world and other culture around the world with the truth of God Himself and His word.

Watch or Listen to Message by Patricia Hudson from June 28, 2026 There is No Music in the Rest: A Time to Rest, Renew, Refresh   Galatians 5:1 NIV It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. I have been reading a biography of Frederick Douglass entitled Prophet of Freedom. It is a 750-page book written by David W. Blight, and I am about 220 pages into it. This is my way of commemorating the 250th anniversary of our nation. I am not content to only watch fireworks, but to reflect on what has happened over 250 years through the lens of Scripture. I am gaining a lot of insight not only into Douglass, but also into the status of our nation during his time, and most importantly, the policies and treatment toward enslaved Black people. History always gives context for our present time. We also know that history repeats itself, especially when we are dealing with people who are not redeemed by Christ, and even professing Christians who do not bear the fruit of the Spirit. By reading this book, I have become acquainted with a different time. What is interesting is that they read the same Bible we are reading today, all the same Scriptures and all of the same truths. A thought that captivated my mind was this: How would people feel at that time when they read the words of Galatians 5:1: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” The Scripture told the reader that he had freedom in Christ, and that he should not submit to a yoke of bondage. Then, to know that he or she was being subjected to bondage every day. Add to that insanity and frustration the knowledge that professing Christians were the ones most responsible for that bondage. While some Christians were anti-slavery, many were pro-slavery. Then and now, what separates genuine Christians is a dedication to serve others and not be self-serving. What I find most astonishing is the fact that people like Frederick Douglass experienced abuse and oppression from people calling themselves Christians, but had the strength of faith and discernment to still trust in Jesus Christ. They knew the difference between false and genuine Christianity. Scriptures like this demonstrate why enslavers did not want enslaved people to know how to read. Frederick Douglass learned to read as a pre-teen, and it absolutely ruined him as a slave. Can you imagine living in a world where you knew precisely what God had promised you, and then had to deal with people who professed to be Christian denying you the very things that God had granted? Of course, many would say that the context of “yoke of slavery” in Galatians 5:1 speaks of spiritual slavery. But how can it be the will of God for people to be content with the cruelty of physical slavery by being comforted only by the promise of freedom from spiritual slavery? Many enslaved people accepted that false dichotomy, but Frederick Douglass resisted it with every fiber of his being. The message is the same for us today: We need to stand on what we know God has promised for us and for others. Do not submit to or permit anything less than what God has promised. This includes resisting modern-day compromises and self-serving abuses of the Christian faith.

On Believer's Voice of Victory, Courtney Copeland sits down with Pastors Michael and Sherrie Howell to share how their decades-long relationship was built through love, growth and intentional choices from a faith-based perspective.

A powerful and heart-touching message based on Matthew 7:24–27 explores the difference between merely hearing God's Word and faithfully living it. Through the moving story of a widowed mother who built her small home on solid ground despite hardship and criticism, this sermon illustrates how a strong foundation can withstand life's fiercest storms.Being a Christian sometimes needs you to be ready to be uncommon, uncomfortable, and be prepared for the unpredictable.As winds of grief, disappointment, sickness, and uncertainty inevitably come, many discover that appearances alone cannot hold a life together. Jesus teaches that true security is found not in circumstances, success, or human strength, but in obedience to His words. Like the wise builder who dug deep and built upon the rock, believers who anchor their lives in Christ remain standing when trials arrive.

This week, Pastor Josiah kicked off our new series “Foundations of the Church” with a sermon entitled, “A Firm Foundation,” centered on 2 Timothy 4:1-8. In his message, Pastor Josiah shares how a faithful church is built on the Word of God, guarded by his Word, and sent out with his Word to reach the nations with the hope of the Gospel. The only way for a church to persevere until Christ's return is to be built on the firm foundation of God's word.
