June 7, 2026 Division comes naturally. We build walls between people based on politics, culture, values, backgrounds, and even our preferences within the church. Yet Ephesians 2 reveals that Jesus came to do the exact opposite. Through His death and resurrection, He tears down the walls that separate us and creates one new family united by grace. In Christ, outsiders become family, enemies become neighbors, and the church becomes a living picture of God's reconciling love. The question is not whether Jesus has torn down the walls—the question is whether we will live like they are truly gone. About this Sermon Series God has always had a plan. The book of Ephesians reveals the incredible story of God's plan to bring salvation to all people through Jesus Christ and unite them into one family. In this 13-week series, we'll discover what it means to live with purpose as people who have been chosen, redeemed, and called by God. Along the way, we'll explore how the Holy Spirit transforms our everyday relationships—with family, friends, the Church, and the world around us. Ephesians is an invitation to step into God's greater story and live the kind of life we were created for.

5-13-26 NM Goatheads General Manager, Jared Johnson joins the program to unveil the first day of Goatheads 2026 Regular Season

May 11, 2026 In Episode 2 of Beyond Sunday, the Pastors from Newbreak Church reflect on the powerful “I Am” statements of Jesus from the Gospel of John and what they reveal about His identity, character, and invitation to trust Him more deeply. The conversation gets personal as the hosts talk honestly about anxiety, control, burnout, suffering, and the daily challenge of surrendering things to God. They explore how Jesus meets people not through perfection or appearances, but through humility, grace, and transformation. The episode also features an unforgettable baptism testimony from Caesar, a Marine officer who shares how hitting rock bottom led him to fully surrender his life to Christ. His vulnerable story becomes a moving reminder that God can redeem anyone's story. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, uncertain, or spiritually hungry, this episode offers encouragement, honesty, and hope for what it looks like to follow Jesus beyond Sunday. About this Sermon Series: What if the God you've heard about is more personal, more present, and more powerful than you've experienced? In this 6-week series, we'll explore the “I AM” statements found throughout Scripture—words God uses to reveal His character, His heart, and His invitation into relationship. These statements aren't just descriptions—they're declarations of who God is for us. He is not distant or abstract. He is near, knowable, and actively at work in our lives. Each week, we'll uncover a different aspect of His identity: the Bread that satisfies, the Light that reveals, the Shepherd who leads, the Resurrection who brings life, the Way who guides, and the Vine who sustains. Along the way, we'll wrestle with what it means to move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him—personally, deeply, and authentically. This series is an invitation to trade shallow familiarity for real intimacy… to encounter the living God, not as a concept, but as a Person.

May 3, 2026 When life feels uncertain—when we're anxious, confused, or lost—Jesus doesn't just point us to a path, he says, “I am the way.” He claims to be the truth in a world full of opinions, and the life that nothing else can give. Christianity isn't about what works for you—it's about what's true. And if Jesus is who he says he is, then following him doesn't just promise heaven later, it gives purpose, peace, and new life right now. Through Jesus, we move forward with hope.

April 1, 2026 After a powerful 13-week journey through the book of Acts, our pastors sit down for a real and honest conversation about what God revealed through the series and how it impacts our lives today. In this episode of Beyond Sunday, we reflect on the cost of following Jesus, the role of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives, and what it looks like to boldly live out our faith beyond just attending church. We also answer questions, share stories of life change, and talk through moments in Acts we didn't get to cover on Sundays. Our hope is to give you practical encouragement and resources to continue growing in your faith all week long—not just on Sundays.   About this Conversation The Book of Acts reveals how the risen Jesus continues His mission through the Holy Spirit, empowering ordinary believers to become bold witnesses who proclaim the gospel, perform Spirit-led works, and build unified, Christ-centered communities. From the early church in Jerusalem to the spread of the message to all nations, the series emphasizes that God works through surrendered, available people—often through unexpected moments—to bring transformation, calling believers to live in obedience, rely on the Spirit's power, pursue community, and continually point others to Jesus as the true source of healing, hope, and salvation.   About this Sermon Series: The book of Acts tells the story of how the exalted Christ sends His Spirit to empower His people to continue His work in the world. Through the Spirit's power, ordinary believers boldly proclaim the gospel, witness miraculous works, and form vibrant communities that embody God's welcome to all people. Acts traces how the church's witness, energized by the Spirit, extends from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, revealing Christ's ongoing work through His people and the Spirit's leading in every new challenge and opportunity.

March 15, 2026 In Acts 15, the early church faces a significant conflict as Jewish and Gentile believers disagree about what is required for salvation. What begins as a serious theological dispute becomes an opportunity for the church to model how followers of Jesus can handle disagreement in a way that honors God and protects the unity of the church. By addressing the issue directly, seeking wise counsel, and ultimately turning to God's Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the leaders arrive at a solution that preserves the truth of the gospel and strengthens the church. This passage reminds us that when conflict is handled God's way, it can lead to deeper unity and encouragement among believers.

About this Sermon Series This Advent, we're turning our hearts toward the promise of a Savior—one whose name changes everything. “He shall be called” points us to some of the beautiful names of God revealed in Jesus. Each name pulls back the curtain on who He is and what He came to do. As we prepare for Christmas, we'll see that the story of His coming is more than nostalgia—it's the revelation of God's heart, up close and personal, in Christ, for us, today.

From humble beginnings in obscurity to the heights of leading a nation, David's story is one of both triumphs and trials. We'll see him dodge javelins hurled by a jealous king, hide in caves as a fugitive, and stand boldly before giants like Goliath — and through it all, God's faithfulness shaping a man after His own heart and showing us what He can do through a willing life.

Aug 4, 2024 Newbreak Church is all about, "Connecting people with God through authentic relationships to serve communities." We build intentional community through our Life Groups, serve locally and globally through Kingdom Builders, and gather in-person and online every Sunday across San Diego at our three campuses in Tierrasanta, Scripps Ranch, and Ocean Beach. This week, during our Newbreak 360 series, you get to hear from our Scripps Ranch Campus Pastor, Jared Johnson, as he talks about living boldly and on mission for Jesus! In this week's message, you'll be: Challenged to consider the source of power we live by Encouraged to have a deep, abiding relationship with Jesus

June 16, 2024  We celebrate Father's Day by continuing in our sermon series in Colossians as we are encouraged to put off the distractions that are getting in the way of us being the Christ-like people the world (and our families) need us to be! As you listen in, you will be: 1. Challenged to embrace the renewal process of being made more like God 2. Encouraged to give yourself grace and keep your mind set on the life we are called to live

May 5, 2024  “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” This old adage is said often but completely untrue. Many of us can probably think of plenty of times when the power of words have torn us down or inspired us forward in a positive direction. Lean in with Newbreak Church as we see what James has to say about the power of the words we speak! As you listen in, you will be: 1. Challenged to not be quick to speak when our words can have serious effects 2. Encouraged to be generous in giving our encouragement, especially to those who need it!

March 3, 2024  “You should have been there!” We have said that in happy and hard circumstances. Especially in hard circumstances, we may look up in a posture of prayer and say: “God, you should have been there!” Mary and Martha knew what it was like to feel disappointed, even telling Jesus that he should have been present before Lazarus, their brother had died. Lean into this heart-felt message as we see how Jesus responds to our dire circumstances and crisis. As you listen in, you will be: 1. Challenged to bring your pain to Jesus 2. Encouraged to see the compassion of Christ in the face of death

Corey McCoy, CEO of KOK Wings & Things, joins Discover Lafayette to discuss his unexpected journey into success as a restaurant entrepreneur. Growing up in a military family, he lived all over the country before moving to Lafayette to attend UL and become closer with his father. Corey served in the National Guard for six years while in school, with a top secret clearance as he worked as an Intelligence Imagery Analyst. KOK Wings & Things was founded in 2016, when Corey, Avery Bell, Tre'Jan Vinson and Jared Johnson were Kappa Alpha Psi, Inc. fraternity brothers at UL - Lafayette and living together on a shoestring while attending college. The foursome would cook chicken wings and sauces for friends, beginning with the traditional wing recipe Corey's dad provided them. They enjoyed hosting social events at their home to raise money for their fraternity. In order to pay for the cost of the food and supplies, they started charging for their wings. Word spread about the delicious wings and the "Kitchen on Klinton" thus began out of their home kitchen on Clinton Street. And things went smoothly until one day, the local police came knocking on their door, informing them that it wasn't legal to operate a commercial kitchen out of their home. They realized it was time to 'change up' their operations. KOK began with an initial investment of $250 chipped in by the the partners. As Corey says, "It was everything we had!" In the beginning, the young men would put fryers in the back of a U-Haul as they went looking for customers. In time, they were ready for a food truck. Avery's dad offered to help build a food truck on a flatbed trailer, which they found on Craig's List. KOK would park for a few months at a time around Lafayette as they built up a dependable clientele for their wings and sauces. As KOK became more professional, their goals for growth did also. Once they saw that they had a viable business model, they worked to scale the operations From the beginning, the four young men divided up the tasks of running the business. Corey became the CEO (even when they were still cooking in the back yard) and was in charge of organizing the overall operations of KOK. Avery was in charge of ordering food and supplies, Jared was the Chief Financial Officer, and Tre'Jan was in charge of marketing. It gave them an organized method to focus on growth. Corey credits Heidi Melancon of the Small Business Development Center for helping KOK get their first loan, get free consultations, and get their business bearing. He also credits LEDA and the UL Business school for its help for which he will always be grateful. KOK didn't charge sales taxes for the first two years. This turned around when Adam Curry, a CPA with Darnall, Sikes & Frederick, ordered a meal and realized that no sales tax was collected. He helped the partners get their tax and financial records in order and get their business model organized for a sustainable business model. The Lafayette location is in the former Gallagher's Restaurant, which property is still owned by Nidal Baldeisi. He traded free rent for a few months in exchange for the KOK partners' working to renovate the building as they built their profits. They rented fork lifts from Lowes, got family and friends to help, and they were off in pursuit of a successful brick and mortar business. Corey taught 8th grade history at Acadian Middle when he graduated from UL in 2016 as they built up their business. He worked until KOK turned profitable in order to ensure that he could make a paycheck. The first two years, none of the men took any paycheck from the business. With a solid track record of growth, KOK Wings now has locations in Lafayette, New Iberia and Baton Rouge. Corey and his partners have grown their company from the grassroots level into a multi-million-dollar company with over 50 employees. KOK Wings & Things sells much more than wings and sauces.
