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.”

Worship corrupted, anger ignored, blood crying from the ground

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!

Genesis 3 closes with justice and mercy side by side. We walk through God's words…

We're called to embrace compassion in action, not just in thought. The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with five loaves and two fish teaches us that God can multiply our seemingly insignificant offerings. It's not about what we lack, but about giving what we have, no matter how small. This challenges us to look at our own lives and ask: What do we have in our hands that God could use? Our prayers, words, or gifts may feel small, but in God's hands, they can move mountains, touch souls, and feed thousands. We're God's masterpieces, created for good works He planned long ago. Let's step out in faith, offering our 'five loaves and two fish,' and watch how God can rewrite stories and leave lasting legacies through us.

In this message from our Founding Pastor, Rick Bezet, we explore what it truly means to grow in spiritual maturity. Drawing from James 1:1-4, we see how trials can build perseverance, leading us to a complete and mature faith. A spiritually mature life chooses joy even in hardship, trusts God's timing and direction, practices gratitude daily, and focuses on reaching others with the hope of Jesus. Through these principles, we discover how to live a life fully rooted in Christ and His purpose.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49494108Stay 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/seven-dimensions-of-jesusHey New Song — we're kicking off a brand-new series: Looking Unto Jesus.This week we begin with the thing every change-seeking heart needs to hear: real growth doesn't start with trying harder — it starts with seeing Jesus rightly.Big idea: Real change for real sinners comes from looking to Jesus — not looking harder at ourselves. When Jesus expands, we change.In this message you'll hear:• Why growth is in Christ (2 Peter 3:18 / Ephesians 4:15) — not self-improvement.• How a domesticated, collectible-figure Jesus keeps us small — and why the real, unsearchable Jesus makes us free.• Seven dimensions of Jesus that reshape our lives: He Rules, Saves, Befriends, Perseveres, Intercedes, Is Returning, and Is Gentle.• Practical next steps for people stuck in control, shame, exhaustion, cynicism, or numbness — what it looks like to draw near.• Stories, Scripture, and pastoral truth to help you dive deeper into Christ and begin real, lasting change.Scriptures referenced: 2 Peter 3 · Ephesians 4 · Matthew 28 · Luke 7 · John 10 · John 15 · Philippians 2 · Romans 5 · Hebrews 7 · Matthew 11 · Mark 13 (and more)If you came for pep-talks, great — but if you want soul change, come ready to look. Let the fullness of Jesus expand your vision, overwhelm your assumptions, and love you into growth.

We all know the instinct to hide—whether it's a child covering up a broken toy,…

"ONE TEAM. ONE MISSION. Today's Jersey Sunday message reminded us that as the body of Christ, we are unified in our diversity. Despite our differences in race, politics, or personal preferences, we are called to be ONE TEAM with a singular focus: spreading the Gospel and showing Christ's love.

Ever feel like God is asking you to take a step of faith when you can't see the full picture? In this message, we explore Noah's story and what it really means to trust God, even when it doesn't make sense.Noah faced an impossible task and a world full of doubt, yet he chose to obey God and build anyway.

We're celebrating 10 years of God's faithfulness and revisiting why we exist: to help people know God John 17:3. Not just to know about Him, but to truly know Him.

We'll explore practical pathways to host His presence, be formed into Christlikeness, belong as family, and live a daily life of surrender and mission—because this next decade is all about keeping Jesus at the center.So grab your Bible, your BTJ, or something to write on—and let's step in together.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the importance of finding true rest in Jesus. The central theme revolves around Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus invites us to come to Him when we're weary and burdened. We're encouraged to let Jesus carry our load, learn from His gentle and humble nature, and realize that peace is found in a person, not a place. The sermon uses the analogy of an overloaded backpack to illustrate how we often try to carry too many burdens on our own. It challenges us to give up control and trust in God's plan, emphasizing that many of our stresses are self-inflicted. By learning from Jesus' example of prioritizing His relationship with the Father, we can find a more balanced and peaceful life. This message is particularly relevant in our fast-paced, stress-filled world, offering hope and practical wisdom for those feeling overwhelmed and in need of a spiritual recharge.

Ephesians 2:1-3 As we delve into Chapter 2, Paul picks up his discussion on God's power, continuing the theme from the previous chapter. Pastor Rod Bunton shifts his focus to understanding the reasons behind the current state of the world, beginning with our pre-salvation condition. The post What We Were appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the enduring beauty and significance of God's church. Despite its imperfections, the church remains a beacon of hope, built on the solid rock of Christ. We're challenged to love the church as Christ loves it, embracing its role as a hospital for souls rather than a museum of perfection. The speaker draws from Matthew 16:18, emphasizing that even the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church. This reminds us of our strength and purpose as believers. We're encouraged to see the church as a place for real people - flawed, diverse, and in various stages of their spiritual journey. This perspective invites us to extend grace to others and ourselves, recognizing that we're all works in progress. The message powerfully connects our personal growth to our involvement in the church, urging us not to neglect gathering together, especially as we near Christ's return. It's a call to renew our love for the church and to see it as God sees it - His beloved bride and the hope for a broken world.

What does it really mean when Jesus shows up? In Matthew 8:28–34, we find one of the most dramatic moments in the Gospels: two demon-possessed men are set free, a herd of pigs rush into the water, and an entire town has to decide what to do with Jesus.----------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49483312Stay 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.

Acts 5:27-42 Continuing to obey God and defying the Jewish leaders led the apostles to a severe beating. Despite this setback, Pastor Rod Bunton explains that they rejoiced and continued to teach and preach about Jesus. The post Worthy to Suffer appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

In this powerful message, we explore the transformative story from Mark 5 about Jesus healing the demon-possessed man. This narrative reminds us that no one is beyond God's reach or too broken to be restored. The key lesson here is that Jesus intentionally seeks out those whom society has cast aside, offering hope and healing to even the most desperate souls. We see a beautiful progression from desperation to encounter, then to transformation and restoration, and finally to a calling to share one's testimony. This journey mirrors our own spiritual walk - we come to Jesus in our brokenness, experience His healing touch, and are then called to share His love with others. The message challenges us to run towards Jesus in our struggles, rather than away from Him, and to embrace the ministry of restoration in our own lives and communities.

Ephesians 1:19-23 In this passage, Paul shares three specific prayer requests he has made for them.

The post The Immeasurable Greatness of His Power appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

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.

Ephesians 1:18-19 In this passage, Paul shares three specific prayer requests he has made for them.

The post The Riches of His Glorious Inheritance appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of brokenness in our spiritual lives. Through the story of John Pounds, a crippled man who turned his suffering into a ministry that helped countless children, we see how God can use our broken places for His glory. The central theme revolves around Hosea 10:12, which calls us to 'break up the fallow ground' of our hearts. This agricultural metaphor beautifully illustrates how we must allow God to break up the hardened areas of our lives to receive His blessings and produce spiritual fruit. We're challenged to embrace humility, reject pride, and live in a state of 'blessed brokenness' - a place of constant surrender and gratitude to God. This message encourages us to examine our hearts, identify areas of hardness or pride, and allow God's transformative work to take place, promising that through our brokenness, God can create something beautiful and impactful.

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.

The sermon emphasizes that despite the world's wickedness or our personal failures, God's purpose for us remains steadfast.

Instead, we're urged to be examples in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. This message speaks directly to our hearts, reminding us that our vision of God, not just our principles or duties, is what truly drives us forward in our faith journey.
