Let's be honest—we all have people in our lives that we just don't like. Maybe it's someone who's hurt you, someone who rubs you the wrong way, or maybe even someone who doesn't like you back. But what do you do with that tension? How do you handle relationships that feel messy, frustrating, or even toxic?In this message, we'll look at what Scripture says about dealing with dislike, navigating conflict, and choosing God's way when it would be easier to hold a grudge. From Romans 12:18 to Jesus' radical call to pray for our enemies, we'll discover how to live at peace with others “as far as it depends on us.”----------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://bible.com/events/49480946Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143For more information on our campus, email us at searcy@newlifechurch.tv or visit newlifechurch.tv.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/immersed-in-scriptureImmersed in Scripture // Hearing God Series // Pastor Sarah BlountJesus didn't just know Scripture—He lived it. Every word He spoke, every choice He made, every step He took flowed from deep communion with His Father. In this message, we'll uncover Jesus's daily rhythms for hearing God clearly—through prayer, Scripture immersion, and intentional time in God's presence.1. Immersion & EncounterPurpose: Help members recognize the difference between reading for information vs. transformation.Leader Tips:Ask for examples of times they've read Scripture and felt personally met by God.Encourage them to be honest if Bible reading feels more like a checklist—this creates room for practical ideas.Follow up with: What's one change you could make to your approach this week to read expectantly?2. Memorization & MeditationPurpose: Help people reflect on which part of their engagement with Scripture is strong and which needs growth.Leader Tips:Briefly explain each phrase from Kevin DeYoung:_Submitting your will = Letting Scripture set your priorities._Committing your brain = Learning it deeply, understanding context._Humbling your heart = Being ready to obey even when it's hard.Ask them to pick one area to strengthen and share a practical step—e.g., choosing one verse to memorize this week.3. Response & SupplicationPurpose: Connect Bible engagement to life application and prayer.Leader Tips:Encourage them to think of even small ways Scripture has moved them to action—like a phone call, an apology, or a praise prayer.Ask the group to commit to one specific response from their Bible reading this week.Offer to follow up next time with a quick “How did it go?” so there's gentle accountability.#HearingGod #NewSongChurch #FriendsTalk #John15 #HearingGodsVoice #Faith #BibleTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianLiving #JesusIsSpeaking #YouCanHearGod #HearingGod #SpeakLord #VoiceOfGod #LivingWord #PrayerAndPresence #SpiritLed #FaithComesByHearing #WalkWithJesus #EveryWordMatters #ScriptureSpeaks #JesusAtTheCenter.

Pastor Ben Khazraee focuses on the ways our devices facilitate our vices, not just the apparent ones like lust and materialism, but also gambling, gossip, and a general lack of self-control. He also suggests biblical solutions to help us address these issues and cultivate virtuous habits. The post The Danger of Growing in Secret Vices appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

Psalm 101 King David, despite his numerous failures, was described by God as a man after His own heart. Pastor Ben Khazraee examines David's mission statement, which should serve as a guiding principle for our own lives, the objectives that guided his actions and drew him closer to God. The post The Ideal King's Values appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

In this powerful message, we explore the profound concept of allowing God to order our steps. The central scripture, Psalm 37:23-24, reminds us that 'The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.' This teaching challenges us to trust in God's guidance, even when our path seems uncertain. We're encouraged to follow God's Word, trust the Holy Spirit's leading, evaluate our circumstances wisely, and walk in obedience. The message draws interesting parallels between God's delight in our spiritual journey and a parent's joy in a child's growth. It emphasizes that following God should be a delight, not a drudgery. As we apply these principles, we open ourselves to God's blessings and favor, allowing Him to shape our lives according to His perfect will.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/josephTrue and Better // A Better BrotherWhat if your story is tied to something greater than you imagined? This week, Pastor Ken Blount continues our True and Better series by diving into one of the most compelling lives in Scripture —Joseph. His dreams, betrayals, faithfulness, and eventual rise weren't just moments in history… they were glimpses of something (or someone) greater to come. Could his story be a shadow of the Messiah? Could your story be part of something prophetic too?Join us as we unpack what it means to have a God dream, walk through the waiting, and discover the beauty of Jesus as our true and better brother.#TrueAndBetter #JosephAndJesus #BibleTeaching #PropheticForeshadowing #JesusIsBetter #FaithInTheWaiting #GodDreams #NewSongChurch #ChristianSermon #PastorKenBlount #GospelMessage #JesusOurBrother #OldTestamentProphecy #ChristInGenesis #ChurchOnline #BibleStudy #SundaySermon #JesusInEveryStory #RedemptiveStoryline #Maranatha

Have you ever followed what God asked of you and still felt like nothing changed? This message explores what happens when we obey God, even when there are no results in sight. • Elijah's servant kept searching when nothing showed up.• Naaman nearly missed his miracle because the method felt beneath him.• The Sons of Sceva tried to fake spiritual authority and got exposed.Obedience does more than keep us from sin. It leads us into the kind of breakthrough we cannot manufacture on our own. Watch now and be encouraged to trust the process even when it doesn't make sense.-----------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49460766Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143For more information on our campus, email us at searcy@newlifechurch.tv or visit newlifechurch.tv.

“I am the Good Shepherd.”With just five words, Jesus reveals something powerful about who He is—and what that means for us.In this message from John 10 and Psalm 23, we explore what it truly means to let Jesus lead. He's not just a Savior who rescues; He's a Shepherd who guides, knows, provides, and protects. And He's not asking for part-time trust—He's inviting us to surrender fully and follow Him with confidence.Whether you've been walking with God for years or are just beginning to lean in, this message is a reminder that you can trust the Good Shepherd with every part of your story.

Ephesians 1:15-16 After presenting a profound doctrinal explanation of Christian salvation, Paul expresses his sincere prayers for his readers. Pastor Rod Bunton highlights Paul's gratitude to God for the Ephesian church's remarkable display of two crucial attributes: unwavering faith in the Lord Jesus and an unwavering love for fellow believers.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the four keys to ruling and reigning in our spiritual lives, inspired by the life of King David. These keys are prayer, generosity, praise, and keeping the oil of the Holy Spirit. The story of David, described in Acts 13:22 as 'a man after God's own heart,' serves as our blueprint for success in God's kingdom. We're challenged to maintain constant communication with God through prayer, to be generous with our resources and talents, to praise God in all circumstances, and to nurture the anointing of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The message emphasizes that these practices aren't just for biblical figures or church leaders, but for all of us as part of the 'royal court of heaven.' By embracing these keys, we can overcome life's challenges, experience God's presence more deeply, and fulfill our divine purpose.

Acts 5:1-11 After witnessing the exemplary response of the new church members to the external persecution faced by Peter and John, they encountered a new challenge: internal persecution. Pastor Rod Bunton recounts the story of Ananias and Sapphira, who sought recognition for their own financial contributions. The post Ananias and Sapphira appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

True and Better // A Better King // Pastor Casey BushWhat made David “a man after God's own heart”? How does this ancient king help us understand the kind of King we actually need? In this message, Pastor Casey Bush invites us to take a deeper look atthe stories we think we know—and the questions we might not be asking. We're going to look at how David's rise, failures, and faith point us to something more, the true and better.Sermon Notes1 Samuel 8:4-54 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, 5 and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”1 Samuel 8:7And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.”Kingship” - A God-ordained position of leadership, authority, and servanthood under God himself."Anointing" - The act of applying oil to someone or something, symbolizing consecration, sanctification, or divine empowerment.1 Samuel 13:13-14“13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”1 Samuel 16:11 Now the Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.”1 Samuel 16:6…”Surely the Lord's anointed is before Him!”1 Samuel 16:12Now he was ruddy, with [f]bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.Matthew 6:33“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”1. DAVID WAITED ON THE LORDFIRST1 Samuel 18:7“..Saul has slain his thousands, but David his 10 thousands.”1 Samuel 24:6“And he says to his men, ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lords anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.”2. DAVID WAS OBEDIENT TOGOD'S AUTHORITYMatthew 25:1“You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things” Gods not after your obedience to earn His love-Its aboutresponding to it.Disobedience doesn't just break the rules, it breaks the relationship1 Samuel 15:23“Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also rejected you from being king.”Malachi 3:6“For I am the Lord, I do not change…”1 Samuel 15:1-21 Samuel also said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words ofthe Lord. 2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them.1 Samuel 15:7-97 And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which iseast of Egypt. 8 He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, they utterly destroyed.1 Samuel 15:2121 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”2 Samuel 24:1010 And David's heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”3. DAVID WAS REPENTANTRepentance - Where our heart turns away from sin and turns toward God—a genuine sorrow, confession, and a desire to walk in obedience.A. David valued relationship over reputationB. David feared losing God's presencePsalm 51:11“Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”C. David was tender toward conviction“Conviction” is not condemnation-its correction wrapped in compassion.Numbers 32:23“and be sure your sin will find you out.”Numbers 32:23James 5:16Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.Someone or something will sit on the throne of your life. The question is, who?

Have you ever felt like life just isn't fair? Like you're stuck… waiting for something to change?In this week's message, Pastor Kevin challenges us to rethink what we believe about healing, fairness, God's will, and divine timing. We ask the hard questions:• What do we do when God doesn't move the way we expected?• What if it's not about the right time, place, or effort—but about God's presence?• And what happens when Jesus looks you in the eye and asks, “Do you want to be well?”This message is for anyone who's ever felt forgotten, overlooked, or stuck on the sidelines. If you've been “at the pool” and haven't seen your breakthrough yet, this word will encourage and challenge you._______________________________________________Today's Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/49460762Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143For more information on our campus, email us at searcy@newlifechurch.tv or visit newlifechurch.tv.

What kind of God does Jesus reveal? In this sermon, Pastor Chris walks us through…

In this powerful message, we're reminded of a profound truth: our help comes from the Lord. Focusing on Psalm 121, we explore the comforting assurance that God is our ever-present help in times of trouble. This sermon challenges us to approach God's throne with confidence, knowing that as His children, we have direct access to His grace and mercy. The message beautifully contrasts the peace that God offers with the fear that often plagues our lives, encouraging us to exchange our anxieties for His supernatural peace. Through examples like David and Joseph, we see how crying out to God for help isn't a sign of weakness, but a recognition of where our true strength lies. This teaching invites us to simplify our faith, returning to the foundational truth that in all circumstances, our help comes from the Creator of heaven and earth.

Pastor Ben Khazraee guides us through the subtle ways in which our intelligent devices and the content they offer can serve as teachers, influencing our behavior and shaping our lives. The post The Danger of Being Discipled by Our Devices appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

Acts 4:24-35 Peter and John's persecution by the Jewish leaders demonstrates how they responded to a challenge to their unwavering commitment to obeying God. Pastor Rod Bunton identifies three more points that illuminate the appropriate course of action when confronted with persecution in our own lives. The post Responding to Persecution – Part 2 appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

Ephesians 1:11-14 Paul concludes this opening section of his letter by explaining the role of the Holy Spirit in our salvation. Pastor Rod Bunton elaborates on this third component, emphasizing that both Jews and Gentiles are made an inheritance through the indwelling of the promised Holy Spirit. The post To the Praise of His Glory: We are Sealed with the Holy Spirit appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

TRUE AND BETTER — WEEK 2 | A PRIEST BETTER THAN MELCHIZEDEKFrom Genesis to Revelation, God's plan has always been to draw His people near through a priesthood rooted in holiness, service, and sacrifice. In this message, Pastor Tonderai Bassoppo-Moyo unpacks how humanity was first created to be priests—cultivating and guarding intimacy with God—and how that calling was distorted by sin.But Jesus came as the True and Better Priest, not through human lineage or legal requirement, but by the power of an indestructible life. His priesthood fulfilled everything the old covenant could not, restoring access to God and reversing what Adam lost.#TrueAndBetter #Melchizedek #HighPriest #JesusIsBetter #NewSongChurch #BibleTeaching #ChristianSermon #RoyalPriesthood #Hebrews7 #FaithMessage #SundaySermon #JesusOurHighPriest #KingdomLiving #BiblicalTeaching #PriesthoodOfBelievers

God's power in us exceeds our wildest expectations, calling us to dream boldly and trust…

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/a-better-prophetA Better Prophet: Jeremiah was a type of Christ in that he underwent a death and resurrection when he was thrown into a pit and brought out. He was a Prophet of sorrow and acquainted with grief. Jesus is the Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief who was thrown into the pit of God's wrath and then brought out in the resurrection. As was true of Joseph and Isaiah before Him, the principle of sufferings and glory surround the stories of this prophet.
