Compassion in Jesus's Name

Image Wolves

1/7/2024

 

Jesus warned us in Matthew 7:15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." Jesus said to pay attention because the false teachers were coming. When we come to the small book of Jude in the New Testament, Jude tells us in no uncertain terms that the false teachers are here. Two thousand years ago, Jude exhorted Christians "to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people." That means that the Christian life is a battlefield, not a playground, and we had better be ready for the fight.

1/7/2024

 

The writer of Proverbs doesn't have anything good to say about a fool. A fool despises wisdom, refuses to speak the truth, refuses to work hard, and avoids spending time with God and with God's people. According to Solomon, foolish people end up living foolish, disastrous lives. If you've ever done foolish things in the past and you want to avoid those things in the future, this series is for you. God's Word offers us everything we could ever need to live a life of godliness and wisdom.

A person's stance on origins is important because Genesis is the foundation for the rest of the Bible. Genesis 1:1 states: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." What you believe about this statement will impact everything you believe about the rest of Scripture. The Bible clearly teaches that God is, always was, and will always be Almighty over all.

4/2/2023

 

Using Jesus's parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son from Luke 15, this series illustrates how the heart of God is to diligently pursue the lost. By understanding God's heart for sinners, and His unbridled joy for a lost one who has been found, we begin to comprehend what God expects from us toward those who are far from Him.

What does the Bible mean when it says "the Lord is my shepherd?"

In our brand new series, Psalm 23: I Shall Not Want, we will spend several weeks looking at different aspects of God as our Shepherd, and what it means to give all of our life over to His care and control.

Jesus said "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 Jesus didn't come to earth to die on the cross and be resurrected so that we could live a mediocre life apart from God. Jesus intended for us to really live. That kind of life starts with seeing and believing that whatever giant we're battling might be big, but it is not bigger than Jesus. Jesus wants to set you free, but there is a process that you must follow.

In 2022, I believe that God wants New Lifers to work on the foundation of their spiritual lives. If the foundation is weak, then when the storms come your life will fall apart. Storms are coming whether you are prepared for them or not. Why not make the choice right now to be a part of something that is going to last forever? In this series, we will discover from God's Word that the church is not some place where I simply attend. The church is a spiritual family to which I belong.

God has not abandoned you--He has promised never to leave you or forsake you. Instead of preventing pain from coming into your life, God has promised to walk with you through your suffering. In this series, we will begin to look at your circumstances from above them rather than buried beneath them. And we will discover that God always has a purpose for your pain.

If you struggle with things like inadequacy, low self esteem anger, and being offended, then it is time to exchange these feelings for the grace and love of Christ. How do we discover our true identity? By coming to the altar of God and laying down who we think we are so that we can accept who God says we are.

Christianity is based on evidence from eyewitness testimony. John records for us what he saw, what he heard, and what he had even touched as he followed Jesus around Israel for three years. John reminds us that the supernatural feats of Jesus are not just random acts of kindness meant to help and inspire people. They are signs that give evidence for who Jesus is--the Son of God.

If you've ever wondered why God seems to move so slowly in your life, or why He seems to be silent, the Christmas story is for you. For those who doubt, for those who feel that God has forgotten them, The Thrill of Hope series can help you see that God is always at work in the world and we can trust Him to always be right on time.

"But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship." Galatians 4:4-5 NIV

God sent Jesus to pay for your sins so that He might adopt you as a son or daughter. That's the true meaning of Christmas!

Our distorted view of God is at the root of all of our problems. We've created a god in our image--one that does not look at all like the God of the Bible. These miniature gods might make us feel better in the short term, but they are powerless to deliver us from evil or to help us overcome our hurts, habits, and hang-ups. The only hope we have is to begin to see God for Who He really is. Once we begin to understand the real God as He has revealed Himself in the Bible and in His Son Jesus Christ, the real God will change the way we look at everything--our relationships, our possessions, and even our next breath.

In this series, we are going to look at the four emotional forces that often control you and force you to act in undesirable ways. These destructive forces--guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy infiltrate your life and damage your relationships. Left unchallenged, they have the power to destroy your home, your career, and your friendships.

The Bible offers practical advice on how to keep these four emotions from becoming lodged in your heart and poisoning your life. If you've ever said "I can't believe I just said that," or "I don't know why I just did that--that's not me," or "I'll never do that again," only to do that again, this series is for you.

Image What Would Jesus Undo?

6/3/2018 - 7/1/2018

 

In Jesus' time on Earth, He wasn't really interested in outward behavior. He cared more about what was in a person's heart. So He challenged folks whose faith was lukewarm or hypocritical. He also spent a great deal of His time bringing hope to the broken, the lost, and those tangled in sin by showing them what true worship looks like.

In this series, we will discover the knots in our lives that Jesus wants to undo, so that we can have a deep and meaningful relationship with Him. There are roadblocks to an authentic faith in Christ that Jesus wants to remove from our lives so that we can what He describes as "the abundant life."

"Then Jesus declared, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." John 6:35 NIV

When we come to worship, we join our lives together in a cause that lasts for eternity. We receive samples of the Savior from the Word of God, and then our Savior instructs us to share those samples with others. In this series, we are going to talk about what the church is supposed to be and do.


Image The Bad Boys Of Easter

3/18/2018 - 4/1/2018

 

These three men encountered Jesus in the Easter story, but all three men refused to surrender to His Lordship. Each man had big plans for his life. What each man discovered was that when you reject God's plan for something or someone else, you end up losing whatever it is that you so desperately want to preserve. In this series we will consider how we can avoid making the same mistakes that these men made.


Image Follow

1/7/2018 - 3/11/2018

 

Religion says, "Change and you can join us." Jesus says, "Join us and you will change." There's a huge difference. Jesus doesn't expect people to be perfect. He just wants them to follow him. Being a sinner doesn't disqualify anyone. Being an unbeliever doesn't disqualify anyone. In fact, following almost always begins with a sinner and unbeliever taking one small step.

The Bible tells us at the end of time, Jesus will return and God will make all things perfect again. What do we do in the meantime? This series will answer the question: what do you do when there is nothing you can do to change the situation?

Many people believe that the Christian life is about avoiding messes and staying out of trouble. But if you study the life of Jesus, you will find that He went out of His way to get right in the middle of messy people's lives. As it turns out, your messes and the messy people you meet along the way might be your greatest opportunity to become more like Jesus. Following Jesus isn't about avoiding something; it's about becoming something. Join us as we learn to address all the messes that life brings our way.

3/12/2017 - 4/16/2017

 

It seems that more and more people are turning their backs on the church. Why? Many people believe that instead of solving the problems of humanity, religion actually is the problem. What if the god that many people are walking away from isn't the God of Christianity in the first place? It's time to set the record straight and get a clear picture of this God who has revealed Himself through Jesus Christ.


Image The Legend of Joe Jacobson

2/19/2017 - 3/5/2017

 

When things are good, we tend to forget about God. When things are bad, we question whether God is good or even if He cares. If anyone ever had a reason to give up on God, it was Joseph, Jacob's son. He was abandoned by his brothers, thrown in a well, sold into slavery, falsely accused of rape, and sent to prison. But in the face of incredible odds, Joseph believed that God was with him and acted accordingly. In this series, we will learn that if we act as if God is with us (because He is with us!), we will begin to see God in the midst of both the good and bad circumstance that come our way.

Traditionally, the new year is all about what we can do to make ourselves better people. The result is that churches, health clubs, debt counselors, and vitamin shops do a booming business. But we tend to forget that the people we respect the most didn’t devote their lives to becoming the best versions of themselves. They devoted their lives to making a difference in the world . . . or in someone’s world.


Image Light Of The World

12/4/2016 - 1/1/2017

 

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but not for the reasons most people associate with this particular holiday. The Christmas story was complicated. Most of us can relate to life being difficult--especially at Christmas time. What most of us fail to realize is that Jesus came as the Light of the World to overcome the darkness of anger, shame and disappointment. Join us as we gain deeper insight into the birth of the Savior.


Image Making Change

10/23/2016 - 11/27/2016

 

People get funny when you talk about money. But ignoring the path you are on financially doesn't make much sense. Wise people look at the direction of their finances regularly to see if they need to make any mid-course corrections. Investing in a brighter tomorrow starts by Making Change today. In this series we will look at biblical truths about finances and how to find freedom in a debt-saturated world.


Image Destinations

9/18/2016 - 10/16/2016

 

If you've ever ended up in a place you never wanted to be, you understand the principle of the path. This principle simply states that you will end up wherever the path you are on leads. To get where you want to go, you must choose the right path because direction--not our good intentions--determines our destinations. In this series, we will discover that God will show you the correct path to take if you will trust in Him.


Image Yes/No

8/28/2016 - 9/11/2016

Too often, we would rather ride the fence than let people know exactly where we stand. But in this series based on Matthew 5:37, we will learn the appropriate times to use these words and how how to back them up with our actions. Jesus used these words at the right times and for the right reasons. If we learn to do the same, our lives can have extraordinary focus and purpose.

It is very common these days for people to twist God's truth in order to make it say what they want it to say. Each time a person believes a twisted truth, it has the potential to destroy relationships, cloud your decisions, and distort your view of God. This series will help us recognize twisted truths and overcome them with the help of God's Word and God's Holy Spirit.

Most people believe there is a higher power out there somewhere. Since the beginning of time, men and women have established elaborate rituals and traditions in an effort to bridge the gap between the seen and the unseen; between the natural and the supernatural. Each of these systems provided formulas for communicating with and securing the blessings of a particular deity. But none of them provided the one thing that humans desired most--assurance.

But with the birth of Christianity, all of that changed. Join us for this new series to learn how Jesus' message serves as the fulfillment of religion.

"It's my life. I can do what I want, when I want, with whom I want." That mindset didn't work for ancient Israel. It isn't working in America today. In this series we will look at the book of Judges to see where the Israelites ended up by following this line of thinking. And if we will pay attention to God's Word, we can avoid making the same types of mistakes that God's people did in the Old Testament

Many times people talk about Jesus and me. That is good because a personal relationship with Jesus is the only way to get to heaven. But you alone are not the body of Christ. We (Christians) are the body of Christ. And we can do infinitely more together than we can do apart. We the church will be faith-filled, big-thinking, bet the farm risk takers for the glory of God. In this four week series, we will look at some core beliefs upon which New Life is built.

Image Come To Worship

12/06/2015

 

Everything changed the moment Jesus was born. It is the only time in history that God became flesh. When Jesus invaded our world, He offered to forgive us of our sins and adopt us into His family. When we grasp how far He came and the cost of the gift He offered, we can’t help but Come to Worship. In this four-week series, we will discover different ways to worship God: lifting your hands, bringing your gifts, pouring out your heart, and bowing before Him.


Image Transformed

10/4/2015 - 11/22/2015

 

The world is shouting for our attention with answers to our relationship struggles, solutions to our financial trouble, and explanations to our search for meaning. But the world's promises leave us empty and searching for more. God's Word is the only answer that promises to TRANSFORM every area of our lives from the inside out.

8/23/2015 - 9/13/2015

 

Can you imagine what could happen if we gave control of our life to God? It’s scary, but the benefits can change the world. The story of Elisha will challenge people to answer God’s calling and take the risks that are necessary to do His will. It's time we start taking risks and making decisions the world doesn’t understand. Come see what life can look like when we let go…when we decide to have Ridiculous Faith.

Image God Never Said That

6/7/2015 - 6/28/2015

Too often we hear advise that sounds nice, but it has no Scriptural foundation.  In a nation that is increasingly biblically illiterate, it is imperative that Christ-followers know what is and is not in the Bible.  This four-week series tackles common myths about God, like “God wants you happy” or “God never gives you more than you can handle,” and how those myths keep us from having a deeper relationship with Him.

The spiritual life can be compared to a journey.  You are either moving toward spiritual maturity, or you are moving toward a hardened heart.  It is impossible to be in neutral.  In this series, we will look at what it takes to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus.  We will find out that it is possible to discover where you are on your journey, and what it will take to move closer to Christ.


Image The Counselor

3/15/2015 - 4/5/2015

Many times people would come to Jesus with a need.  Instead of immediately meeting that need, Jesus would often ask them probing questions that would force them to decide what they really believe.  Questions like: "Why are you so afraid," "Do you believe I can do this," "Do you want to get well," and "Why do you doubt?"  People think they need answers, but what they really need is a Counselor.

 


Image The Truth About U

1/18/2015 - 1/25/2015

There's a reason that self-assessments and reality shows are so popular today. There is something exciting about learning the truth about ourselves, even when the truth is hard. In this series we'll look at how some of Jesus' deepest teaching came from real-life everyday moments to discover the truth about ourselves.

9/1/2013 - 10/27/2013

Did you know that you are a master piece designed by God? Every believer was custom-made by God to play a strategic role in the church. That means that the church needs you to do what God designed you to do to build up His kingdom. In this series, we want to help every Christ-follower to discover three things:

1) Your spiritual gift(s) (What you are equipped by God to do)
2) Your style of serving (How you can best serve in the church)
3) Your passion for serving (Where you can best serve in the church)

Paul described the church as the body of Christ. This series will help you understand where you fit in the body.

In this series we will discover what the best-selling book of all time has to say about being under authority.

Before marriage, we all had an idea what our married lives would look like.  But what do you do when your expectations and reality collide?  You've got several options at that point, but there is only one option that honors God and your spouse.  We must learn to transform our expectations and look to God if we are to experience marriage as God intended.


Image Fully Devoted

3/17/2013 - 3/31/2013

When someone asks you "How is your spiritual life going?" what comes to  mind?  How do you define spirituality?  How do you define spiritual  growth?  The Bible is very clear on the subject."Whoever claims to  live in Him must walk as Jesus did" (1 John 2:6).  In this series we  will look at the mile markers on the journey to spiritual health which  will result in spiritual growth.  Where are you on the journey?

There are times that all of us have gotten lost.  It is possible to get lost in just about any area of our lives: physically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, and even financially.  None of us intended to get lost, but for a variety of reasons we are not where we meant to be at this point in our lives.  In this new series, we will look at what God has to say about being lost financially.  And you just might be surprised.  The good news is that God has given us clear directions to guide the way.

9/26/2010 - 10/31/2010

When it comes to the church, the number one issue for non-Christians is actions speak louder than words.  It does not matter what we say we believe if our actions are not completely consistent with our words.  This series takes a journey through the pages of the Bible to find folks who live what they say they believe.


Image Church The Way It Should Be

8/8/2010 - 9/19/2010

If you want to hear some interesting comments, spend some time in the next week asking people whether they go to church or not. If they don’t go, ask them why. I’m willing to bet that every reason they give for not going to church is something that I don’t like about church as well. Every church in existence has to fight constantly to keep the focus of the church where it needs to be. And if you want to know what church is supposed to be like, go back to the very first Christian church established on the planet. It is described in the book of Acts. The focus of this series is to be the church that God wants us to be.


Image Yes/No

7/25/2010 - 8/1/2010

We are the sum total of the things to which we say "yes" or "no." To live a life of purpose and meaning, I must learn to say "yes" to the things of God.

In this series we are going to look at popular movies and attempt to determine if the message that Hollywood is sending is legitimate. And the caution that I have for you from the beginning is this: popular opinion isn’t the best guide to living your life.

3/28/2010 - 5/9/2010

A door is a means of approach, admittance, or access that allows us to move from one environment to another.  Every day we face choices about which doors to open and which doors to close.  In this series, we will see that our choices have serious consequences.  Which door will you choose--the one that leads toward God, or the one that leads toward destruction?


Image Stories of New Life

God has done so much in and through New Life over the last eight years. This message looks at some of those stories and how we intend to continue to reach out to people who are far from God.


Image Big Mo

3/14/2010 - 3/21/2010

Search the Scriptures and you will see that life is a series of ups and downs. Since even Jesus faced high and low times in His life, we need to learn from Him how to be faithful no matter what circumstances we face.

Image Building a Great Life

1/10/2010 - 2/28/2010

Most people aren't really living, they are existing.  But when Jesus said that He came to give us an abundant life, surely He had in mind something more than surviving from day to day.  In this series we will look at what the Bible says is required for people to thrive rather than merely survive. 


Image Winning the Game

1/3/2010

People can be unbelievably frustrating at times because very few people seem to know the rules of life.  This message considers what rules are required to be a winner in life.
