https://newsongpeople.com/messages/with-othersPrayer was central to the life of Jesus. He prayed at the most ordinary moments, and at the most critical ones. He prayed with Scripture, He prayed alone, He prayed with friends, He prayed for His enemies, and He surrendered Himself to the will of the Father in prayer.In this series, we're going to look at the prayer life of Jesus. We'll listen as He teaches us how to pray, and we'll follow His example in the way He prayed.As we pray like Jesus, we'll grow in our relationship with the Father, our dependence on the Spirit, and our alignment with His mission.

Luke 15:4 Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?Luke 15:8 Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?Luke 15:11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.In the storytelling world of first-century Judaism, repetition with variation was a way of signaling that something deeper was unfolding. — Tim KellerIn the cultural world of Jesus' listeners, the most glaring absence in the story of the prodigal is not the missing son, it is the missing pursuit of the older brother. In a patriarchal household, the father did not chase shame. He bore it, but he did not run after it.That responsibility belonged to the eldest son. The older brother was meant to leave the house, seek out his sibling, restore the family's honor, and mediate reconciliation. That was his role. That was his duty.Genesis 4:9 Am I my brother's keeper?Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/why-prayer-feels-boringMany of us want to pray—but we end up saying the same things over and over, often running out of words or energy. In this message, we look at how Jesus prayed the Scriptures, even in His final moments, and why the Psalms are God's gift to shape, steady, and revive our prayer lives. If prayer has ever felt boring, forced, or empty, this message offers a simple, life-giving way forward: learning to pray the words God has already given.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-secret-placeWhat if prayer was never meant to be a routine to manage, but a relationship to enjoy? What if the “secret place” Jesus talked about wasn't a room, a time, or a formula—but the heart? In this message, Pastor Jackson unpacks how religion quietly steals the life, beauty, and depth from prayer, replacing communion with performance and presence with pressure. Through the life and prayer habits of Jesus, we're invited to let go of myths that keep us distant from God and rediscover prayer as giving Him total access—anytime, anywhere, with or without words. Prayer isn't a burden to carry, but a gift that leads us into deeper life with the Father, made possible through Jesus. Let's dive in.

CHRISTMAS DAY — The Word Made Flesh On Christmas morning, we celebrate the miracle at the center of history: the eternal Word became flesh. Today we rejoice that Jesus stepped into our world to bring salvation, light, and life. Why is the manger the turning point of the entire story? Because the God who was promised has come—and He will come again.

DAY 24 — The Snake Crusher ReturnsRevelation gives us a breathtaking glimpse of Christ's return, the defeat of the serpent, and the new creation. Today we look at the hope of a world made new. What are we ultimately waiting for? Advent points us not only back to Bethlehem—but forward to the King who will come again.

DAY 23 — The Spirit & the ChurchPentecost shows us the risen Christ pouring out His Spirit and launching His unstoppable church. Today we see how the gospel moves from Jerusalem to the nations. What does it mean that God now dwells within His people? Advent reminds us we live on mission through the Spirit's power.

DAY 22 — Resurrection SundayEaster morning changed everything—Jesus rose, death fell, and hope began to breathe again. Today we explore the empty tomb and what it means for our lives. Why does resurrection matter for Advent? Because the Christ who came once will come again in resurrection power.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-greatest-giftWhat if the hope you're holding onto isn't actually the kind of hope the Bible promises? What if real hope isn't a wish, a feeling, or a seasonal emotion—but a confident expectation anchored in the unshakeable goodness of God? In this Advent message, we explore why the birth of Jesus in a manger means hope has arrived for everyone, right now. What if cultural Christmas awakens longings it can never fulfill, and only Christ can? How do we live with a hope that doesn't disappoint, especially when life feels chaotic or heavy? And what would change if you lifted your soul to God and stayed close enough to see Him moving? Step into the true meaning of Advent and discover a hope that is firm, secure, and alive.

DAY 21 — Good FridayThe manger leads to the cross, where Jesus carried our sin and opened the way back to God. Today we stand at Calvary and reflect on the darkest day that became the world's brightest hope. Why is the death of Jesus truly “good”? Advent helps us see Christmas in the shadow of the cross.

DAY 20 — Jesus in the WildernessJesus stepped into Israel's story—baptized, then sent into the wilderness to face temptation. Today we see how He succeeded where Adam and Israel failed. How does His victory become ours? Advent comforts us with the truth that our Savior has overcome every temptation on our behalf.

DAY 19 — The Voice in the WildernessJohn the Baptist stood in the desert calling people to repent and prepare the way for Jesus. Today we look at his bold message and humble heart. Why does preparing for Jesus always begin with repentance? Advent challenges us to decrease so Christ may increase.

DAY 18 — Wise Men & the True KingStrangers from the East followed a star and bowed before a Child while a jealous king raged nearby. Today we explore the difference between Herod's hostility and the wise men's worship. What does it mean to truly seek the King? Advent calls us to offer Jesus our joy, our gifts, and our lives.

DAY 17 — A New BeginningMatthew opens the New Testament with a genealogy—a new genesis—showing Jesus as the fulfillment of every promise. Today we explore why His family tree matters and what His name reveals. Why is Jesus the new beginning humanity longs for? Advent invites us to rejoice in Immanuel, God with us.

DAY 16 — The Waiting EndsAfter centuries of silence, Malachi's final promise assured God's people that the Messiah was near. Today we explore the tension of waiting for God to act. What happens when it feels like God is quiet? Advent reminds us that the sunrise of salvation is closer than we think.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/near-with-in-the-joy-of-christmasThis Advent message reveals the JOY of the Word made flesh—God's holiness wrapped in humanity so we could draw near without fear.From David dancing before the ark,to shepherds rejoicing at the manger,to Christ making His home in us,discover the great joy that comes when the untouchable God becomes touchable.

DAY 15 — A Better PriestZechariah's vision of Joshua the high priest—dirty, accused, and then clothed in purity—gives us a picture of salvation. Today we look at how Jesus is our perfect Priest who clothes us in righteousness. Why do we need someone to stand before God on our behalf? Advent shows us the One who removes our sin in a single day.

DAY 14 — Isaiah's Vision of the Holy KingIsaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up, holy beyond imagining—and it changed everything. Today we explore this vision and the cleansing grace God gives to sinners. What does holiness have to do with Christmas?

DAY 13 — Songs for the ShepherdGod's people have always sung when He saves—and the Psalms teach us how to sing in every season. Today we explore how David's songs point to the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. What does worship look like when life is hard? Advent invites us to lift our voices as we wait for our Shepherd-King.

DAY 12 — Elijah & the Living GodOn Mount Carmel, Elijah confronted the empty promises of idols and revealed the fire-falling power of the living God. Today we ask: what idols capture our hearts today? Why do we chase things that cannot hear or save? Advent calls us back to the God who speaks—and to the Prophet greater than Elijah.

DAY 11 — David's Sin & God's MercyDavid was a man after God's heart, but he was also a man capable of deep failure. Today we walk through his darkest moment and his desperate cry for mercy. Why does God forgive sinners like David—and like us? Advent reminds us that we need a sinless King who can restore our broken hearts.

DAY 10 — Ruth & the RedeemerIn a story filled with grief and loss, God quietly worked redemption through Ruth and Boaz. Today we explore how loyalty, kindness, and courage lead to the family line of Jesus Himself. What does it mean to be “redeemed”? Advent invites us to take refuge under the wings of our Redeemer.

DAY 9 — The Rejected MediatorMoses stood between God and His people, praying for mercy even when they rejected him. Today we reflect on Israel's rebellion and Moses' intercession—and how both point toward Christ. Why do we reject the very One who came to save us? Advent teaches us to see Jesus as our greater Mediator, praying and standing in the gap for us.

DAY 8 — The Day of AtonementOnce a year, Israel watched as two goats carried away their sin—one sacrificed, one sent into the wilderness. Today we explore how this ritual pointed to Jesus, our final and perfect substitute. Why can our sins really be forgiven and forgotten? Advent reminds us that Christ came to make us “at-one” with God forever.

DAY 7 — Moses & the God Who RescuesGod saw His people suffering in Egypt and sent Moses to bring them out. Today we look at how Moses' rescue mission points to a greater Deliverer still to come. What does it mean that God hears, remembers, and acts? Advent reminds us that Jesus came to lead us out of a far deeper slavery.

DAY 6 — Joseph: From Pit to Palace (Sarah)Betrayed by his brothers and forgotten in prison, Joseph saw God turn pain into purpose.

This story invites us to trust God in seasons that feel like “the pit.”

DAY 5 — Jacob the Trickster & God's GraceJacob's life was messy, complicated, and full of failure—yet God's promise continued through him. Today we look at how grace, not goodness, keeps God's story moving. Can God really use people who get it wrong again and again? Jacob shows us just how powerful God's mercy truly is.

DAY 4 — The Promised Son & the SubstituteIsaac's miraculous birth showed God keeps His promises, and the ram on the mountain showed God provides a substitute. Today we explore how this father-and-son moment points forward to Christ. Why would God ask Abraham to give up his beloved son—and what does it reveal about the Son God would one day give for us? This story prepares our hearts for the manger.

DAY 3 — The Promise to AbrahamGod chose an unlikely man and made a promise big enough to bless the whole world. Today we trace that promise—from Abraham's barren household to the birth of Jesus Himself. What kind of God gives everything to someone who deserves nothing? Discover how Advent is rooted in God's unstoppable faithfulness.

DAY 2 — The Ark and the Rainbow Noah's story is more than judgment—it's a picture of God's saving grace. Today we explore how the ark points to a better rescue and a better Savior. What does a flood, a boat, and a rainbow have to do with Advent? Come see how this ancient story stirs our hope for Christ.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/gods-peaceWhat if the peace God offers is far stronger, deeper, and more whole than anything you've ever imagined? What if biblical peace isn't the absence of conflict, but the presence of Someone? In this message, Pastor Tonderai Bassoppo-Moyo explores the difference between the world's fragile peace and the unshakeable peace God gives—peace that brings wholeness, mends what's broken, steadies us in trouble, and reconciles us to God, to ourselves, and to others. If true peace feels distant, fragile, or inconsistent in your life, what would it look like to discover the kind of peace Jesus promised? Listen in as we explore the peace announced at His birth and offered to us today.#GodsPeace #Shalom #NewSongChurch #PastorTonderai #PeaceWithGod #PeaceWithSelf #PeaceWithOthers #JesusOurPeace #BibleTeaching #SermonRecap #ChristianTeaching #OklahomaCityChurch
