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 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.

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.

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.

As we journey through life, we're called to reach our generation for Christ. This powerful message reminds us that each generation has its unique challenges, but also its incredible potential. Drawing from the story of David in Acts 13:36, we're encouraged to serve God's purpose in our own time. The sermon emphasizes that despite the world's wickedness or our personal failures, God's purpose for us remains steadfast. We're challenged to embrace our role as a 'chosen generation' (1 Peter 2:9), not letting our youth or inexperience hold us back. 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.

Life often feels like a scene from The Bear—loud, messy, and chaotic. In Genesis 1,…

In this life-giving message, we're challenged to examine the profound connection between our thoughts and our words. The central theme revolves around Psalm 19:14, 'May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord.' This verse invites us to consider how our inner world shapes our outward expressions. We're reminded that our minds are battlegrounds, and we must actively take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ. The story of Mary and Martha serves as a poignant illustration, showing how our mental distractions can lead to manipulation, feelings of obligation, and a victim mentality. This narrative encourages us to choose the 'better part' - sitting at Jesus' feet and aligning our thoughts with His. As we reflect on this message, we're called to transform our thinking, recognizing that changing our mindset is the key to changing our lives and drawing closer to God's perfect will for us. Copy

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.

He's not just a Savior who rescues; He's a Shepherd who guides, knows, provides, and protects.

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?
