https://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-greatest-giftWhat if the hope you're holding onto isn't actually the kind of hope the Bible promises?

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?

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/we-make-spaceWhat does it mean to make space for God to move? In this message from Pastor Josh, we explore what happens when we recognize that everything we have belongs to Him—and that we're called to steward it, not own it. What if generosity isn't about money, but about the heart? What if expanding our sanctuary and opening our hands to give is actually about creating room for people to know God, be saved, and be sent? We'll look at Ephesians 2, Psalm 50, and Matthew 6 to see how God uses surrendered hearts and open hands to build His house and reach His people. Because when we make space for Him, He fills it—with His presence, His peace, and His purpose.

In this week's message, Pastor Josh unpacks how God uses even the hardest seasons to shape us into the likeness of Christ. Why does God allow pain? What purpose could it possibly serve?

https://newsongpeople.com/series/looking-unto-jesusWhich version of Jesus are you following? Is He just a healer when life hurts, a comforter when you're stressed, or a provider when you're in need?

In this message, we'll uncover seven dimensions of Jesus—the ruling King, the saving Redeemer, the faithful Friend, the One who perseveres, intercedes, is soon returning, and is gentle toward our weakness. The key to real transformation isn't self-improvement—it's Jesus Himself.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/union-with-christHey New Song Church! Grab your Bible and turn to Romans 6.We're in Looking Unto Jesus, a series chasing one thing: Real change for real sinners — not polish, not performance, but transformation that reaches desire and identity. Today we're going straight to the source of that change: Union with Christ.Big Idea: You're not just forgiven by Christ — you are united to Christ. What's true of Him now defines you. His death counts as your death. His resurrection fuels your life.In this message you'll learn:• Why the Bible's most repeated identity is “in Christ” — and why that changes everything.• How Romans 5–6 moves you from in Adam (sin/death) to in Christ (righteousness/life).• The four approaches to growth — God then me / God not me / God plus me / God in me — and why only one actually transforms.• What “abiding” really means (John 15): grafted into Jesus so His life produces His fruit in you.• Why union makes you secure (Romans 8), blessed (Ephesians 1), and transformed (Galatians 2:20) — and why the greatest gift of the gospel is Christ Himself.Key Texts: Romans 6:3–5; Romans 5:12,19; 1 Corinthians 15:22; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 15:4–5; Philippians 2:12–13; Colossians 1:29; 1 Corinthians 6:17; John 10:28–29; Colossians 3:3; Ephesians 1:3; Romans 8:1,38–39; Galatians 2:20Sticky lines to take with you:• “We were all born in Adam — we must be reborn in Christ.”• “This isn't God plus me — it's God in me.”• “Union isn't fragile; it's Spirit-forged.”• “The reward of union isn't just what Jesus gives — it's Jesus.”Next steps:• If you're burned out on “God then me,” come home to God in me.• If you've been passive, abide — take the step He already called you to.• If shame's been loud, hear the gentle Jesus: “I haven't let go.”
https://newsongpeople.com/messages/despairWhy do “real sinners” like us so rarely experience real change? Could self-confidence be blinding you to your need? What if the doorway to joy actually runs through despair—seeing yourself as God sees you, then collapsing into mercy? In this powerful message, Pastor Jackson walks us through Deceived → Despairing → Delight without getting stuck in shame. He'll walk us through how Paul's journey—from “I persecuted the church” to “I'm the foremost of sinners”—teaches us about humble joy and lasting transformation. Grab your Bible, grab a pen, and lets dive in!
