Exiles10/19/2025
Many times, people wander from God for a whole variety of reasons. Some wake up one day far from God and they have a deep desire to come back to Him. How does one come back to the One true God? We can learn from the Israelites as they returned from exile and had relearn how to worship God the way He expects to be worshipped. 10/5/2025
9/7/2025 Solomon was called by God to be king, visited by God on two separate occasions, and given specific instructions on how to be successful. His reign started with such promise and ended with such disappointment. The problem? Solomon was a great starter, but a horrible finisher. We are going to spend the next four weeks learning lessons from his life so that we will not end up like he did. God always keeps his promises to bless the obedient and to discipline the disobedient. 8/3/2025 - 8/31/2025 The Bible not only provides wisdom for great relationships and wise behaviors, but it also identifies characteristics that can hurt us. By understanding the life of Samson and the scriptural warnings against selfishness, anger, and deception, we can recognize unhealthy things that we should avoid in our relationships with others. Let's learn to recognize warning signs that God sends to protect us from danger and misery. 6/1/2025 - 6/22/2025 Waiting on God is hard, but we can do it because He is faithful, He is trustworthy, and He will always show up at the perfect time. In the meantime, we can remain active in our waiting. How? That's what we are going to learn from six people in the Bible who endured agonizing uncertainty until God showed up. 4/27/2025 - 5/25/2025 In our day, normal is broke, stressed-out relationships, over-committed schedules, and killing ourselves to impress people that we don't even like. What if there is a better way to live? There is and Jesus has given us the keys to living for God instead of living for the world. Join us Sundays at 10:00 AM to discover how to live a fulfilling life. 4/6/2025 - 4/20/2025 3/2/2025 - 3/30/2025 What’s in a name? For the people of the Bible, names held great significance. Ancient cultures, including Israel, believed that to know someone’s name was to know that person’s total character and nature. In this series we are going to look some of the names of God to learn more about Him. 2/2/2025 - 2/23/2025 Every Sunday, for thousands of years, Christians have gathered on Sunday—the Lord's Day—for worship. And when they do, the service shares common elements like songs of praise and the reading of Scripture. This series will look at the common practices of worship and seek to understand why we do church in this way. 1/5/2025 - 1/26/2025 Following Jesus is not simply a “one and done” decision. It is a big decision filled with many tiny choices throughout each day. This four-week series looks at some of the important steps we take while following Jesus. Everyone has a next step. 12/15/2024 For thousands of years the world lived each day in hopelessness, shame, sadness, and isolation. And then one holy night in Bethlehem changed everything. The coming of a child brought a turning of a people toward hope, peace, joy, and love. Can the same turning happen for us today? 11/5/2024
Marriage was God's idea. God started the physical family in the Garden and the rules for having a great marriage have not changed since then. We believe that if we follow God's road map, then marriages can flourish. 10/6/2024 What does it mean to be committed to my church? Commitment is much more than just attendance on Sundays. It involves engaging in work that magnifies the name of Jesus Christ and expands His kingdom. This is the most important work you can ever be involved in and the only work that will have lasting effects for eternity. Only the church can share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Join us Sundays at 10:00 AM to learn what you can do for the kingdom. 8/11/2024 - 9/15/2024 This six-week series explores the stories of six women in Jesus’ life and genealogy, revealing the various ways they have been misunderstood or marginalized. Genesis tells us "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27 NIV God never pretends that men and women are the same, but Scripture is clear that He valued both equally. The apostles did not learn the value of women from their culture. They learned it from their Master, Jesus. And Jesus treated women with the same love and respect with which He treated men. In this series, we will learn that Jesus sees and values every person, even if society does not. 5/12/2024 - 6/9/2024 For some reason it doesn't take long for the people of God to forget what He has done for them. When we get to the book of Malachi, God's people have returned from exile in Babylon, rebuilt the temple and the city wall of Jerusalem, but life isn't what they expected it to be. What did they do? They turned their backs on God. God sent Malachi to tell them that it is time to return to Him. 4/7/2024 - 4/21/2024 In this series, we are going to tackle some significant questions: If Christians really love Jesus, why is there so much hurt in the church? How can we trust the Bible? What’s the relationship between faith and science? Is abortion wrong? There are no easy answers, but Scripture helps us work through these tough issues with wisdom, grace, and intelligence. 3/31/2024 3/3/2024 - 3/24/2024 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. 2/25/2024 1/7/2024 - 2/18/2024 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. 12/3/2023 10/22/2023 8/27/2023 9/3/2023 5/21/2023 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. 5/14/2023 5/7/2023 4/30/2023 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. 3/26/2023 2/12/2023 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. 1/22/2023 1/1/2023 The Bible is so much more than an ancient book with ancient stories and rules from the past. It is alive and active and God has a message from it for you today. 12/25/2022 12/11/2022 12/4/2022 11/27/2022 11/20/2022 11/6/2022 11/13/2022 10/23/2022 10/16/2022 10/2/2022 9/25/2022 9/18/2022 9/11/2022 8/28/2022 7/17/2022 Have you ever missed a call from someone? I do it all the time. What do you do when you see the notification "missed call"? You call them back. If you have ever wondered what God wants you to do with your life, this new sermon series is for you. We are going to spend several weeks unpacking what it means to be called by God. 5/22/2022 5/15/2022 5/1/2022 4/24/2022 4/10/2022 2/20/2022
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. 1/23/2022 1/2/2022 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. 11/21/2021 10/24/2021 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. 10/31/2021 10/17/2021 7/18/2021 8/1/2021 If you've ever felt stuck in your spiritual life... 7/42021 5/16/2021 - 5/23/2021 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. 5/30/2021 5/2/2021 - 5/9/2021 Offended--some things should offend us and other things shouldn't. How do we know which is which? 4/25/2021 4/18/2021 4/11/2021 2/14/2021 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. 2/7/2021 1/10/2021 Your future self is a result of the decisions you make each day. A few small habits can change the trajectory of your life for 2021 and beyond. 12/6/2020 In the book of Psalms, seven different Hebrew words are translated into the single English word "praise." Each word represents a different aspect of what it means to praise and worship God. 11/29/2020 11/15/2020 10/18/2020 If you are tired of watching marriages crumble, this series is for you. We will look at five commitments from the Bible that will guarantee that your marriage will last. Join us as we fight as the destructive forces of hell try to destroy marriages and families. Let's all make these five commitments to fail-proof our marriages! 10/10/2020 10/4/2020 9/27/2020 9/20/2020 8/16/2020 Let's talk about money! Who's in? Wait . . . where are you going? No matter how good or bad your relationship with money may be, personal finances are tough to talk about. So, in the new series starting Sunday, we're letting money do the talking. If you're willing to listen, it may be what changes the way you spend, save, and see your money—for good. Join us Sundays at 10:00 A.M. Our campus is open and we are having children's church. All children and workers will be screened for fever before entering classrooms. 8/30/2020 8/9/2020 Doug interviews Brad and Heather Doherty about their organization, Happy Trailers. More information is available at happytrailers.org 8/2/2020 7/5/2020 This series will look at what is necessary to produce either a peaceful soul or a tormented soul regardless of what is happening in the world around you. Whether you realize it or not, God says that you can have peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your hearts, your minds, and even your souls even during the craziest of circumstances. Join us as we discover how God wants us to care for our souls. 6/28/2020 6/21/2020 5/31/2020 5/17/2020 We allow certain habits to help us deal with life, but sometimes the bad habits can become part of our identity. It’s time to separate ourselves from these 'necessary' habits and recognize them for what they really are: sins. This four-week series covers lying, gossip, lust, and anger and teaches us how to replace these sin-nature habits with obedience and grace. Join us Sundays at 10:00 A.M. 5/10/2020 5/3/2020 4/26/2020 4/19/2020 2/16/2020 - 4/12/2020 Everything that exists has a starting point, including your faith. What if your questions about God could begin meaningful conversations about faith? That is what this series is all about. Our prayer is that this series will lead you to a deep and meaningful relationship with the God who created everything. 3/8/2020 2/9/2020 2/2/2020 1/5/2020 - 1/26/2020 12/8/2019 - 12/22/2019 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! 12/1/2019 11/24/2019 11/17/2019 10/13/2019 - 11/10/2019 There is a natural order and there is a supernatural order. The things we can see are from the natural. The things we cannot see are from the supernatural. The Bible says "For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12 NLT 9/29/2019 9/8/2019 9/1/2019 - 10/6/2019 Wisdom is not something that we are born with--but it is something that we can acquire. The book of Proverbs compares it to a great treasure that one should search for as diligently as a miner seeks after gold. 8/4/2019 - 8/25/2019 Life's too short to play it safe, to work all the time, to hold grudges, and to pursue the things that God hates. 5/19/2019 - 6/16/2019 5/12/2019 5/5/2019 4/28/2019 4/21/2019 4/14/2019 2/17/2019 - 4/7/2019 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. 2/10/2019 1/6/2018 It is such a good feeling to know that someone is in your corner and that they believe in your ability. Just imagine if each generation could experience at least one person coaching them and cheering them on. Learn what can happen when we develop relationships that shape, share insight, and speak into each other's souls. 12/30/2018 12/9/2018 12/2/2018 11/25/2018 11/04/2018 There is a sin so common to humans that it is said to lead to all other sins. It promises to makes us bigger, but always ends up making us smaller. It keeps us from connecting with God and with other people. It is so hideous, that we need to learn what it is and how to kill it. 10/21/2018 10/14/2018 10/7/2018 9/30/2018 9/16/2018 - 10/28/2018 8/5/2018 - 9/9/2018 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. 7/29/2018 7/22/2018 7/15/2018 7/8/2018 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." 5/27/2018 5/20/2018 5/13/2018 4/29/2018 4/8/2018 - 5/6/2018 "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. 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. 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. 2/11/2018 Casey Fitzgerald shares the story of David Wood. 12/10/2017 - 12/31/2017 10/15/2017 - 12/3/2017 The Bible tells us that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and everything was good. In fact, it was perfect until sin entered the world and things fell apart. 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? 10/8/2017 10/1/2017 9/24/2017 8/13/2017 - 9/17/2017 6/25/2017 - 8/6/2017 6/18/2017 6/11/2017 5/28/2017 4/23/2017 - 5/21/2017 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. 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. 2/12/2017 1/15/2017 - 1/29/2017 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 7/10/2016 - 8/14/2016 Each summer we spend some time looking at clips from popular movies and our pastor creates a message based upon the themes from the movies. This is a great time to invite non-church folks to visit and check out NLCC. 5/29/2016 5/22/2016 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. 5/15/2016 5/8/2016 4/3/2016 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. 2/14/2016 - 3/27/2016 "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 1/10/2016 - 1/31/2016 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. 1/3/2016 12/06/2015 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. 9/27/2015 9/20/2015 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. 7/5/2015 - 8/16/2015 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. 5/24/2015 5/17/2015 5/10/2015 4/12/2015 - 5/3/2015 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. 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. 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. 2/8/2015 1/4/2015 - 1/11/2015 12/28/2014 12/7/2014 - 12/21/2014 11/30/2014 11/16/2014 9/28/2014 - 11/9/2014 9/21/2014 9/14/2014 9/7/2014 8/3/2014 - 8/31/2014 6/29/2014 - 7/27/2014 6/22/2014 6/15/2014 6/8/2014 6/1/2014 5/18/2014 - 5/25/2014 5/11/2014 4/27/2014 - 5/4/2014 4/20/2014 3/30/2014 - 4/20/2014 3/2/2014 2/16/2014 - 3/16/14 1/19/2014 - 2/9/2014 1/05/2014 -1/12/2014 12/29/2013 12/1/2013 - 12/22/2013 11/24/2013 11/17/2013 11/10/2013 John Kolander shares his testimony about the changes he's made in his life. 11/3/2013 Joe Mattson encourages us to "Get Your Feet Wet." This sermon is inspired by John Ortbert's book If You Want To Get Out Of The Boat as well as Matthew 14. 09/29/2013 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) Paul described the church as the body of Christ. This series will help you understand where you fit in the body. 8/4/2013 - 8/25/2013 7/21/2013 6/30/2013 - 7/28/2013 6/2/2013 - 6/23/2013 I don’t want anyone telling me what to do.I want to be in control. I want to call the shots.I want to be the ultimate authority in my life. But what happens when my authority bumps into your authority? Or an even better question: what happens when my authority bumps into God’s authority? In this series we will discover what the best-selling book of all time has to say about being under authority. 5/26/2013 5/19/2013 Being "Born Again" has been twisted into meaning several things. We will show you what the Bible says about becoming a new person and point out some things you might have missed the first time around. 4/28/2013 - 5/12/2013 4/7/2013 - 4/21/2013 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. 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? 3/3/2013 - 3/10/2013 2/10/2013 - 2/24/2013 1/6/2013 - 2/3/2013 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. 12/30/2012 12/2/2012 - 12/24/2012 11/11/2012 - 11/25/2012 10/21/2012 - 11/4/2012 9/16/2012 - 10/14/2012 9/30/2012 9/9/2012 9/2/2012 8/5/2012 - 8/26/2012 7/22/2012 7/15/2012 6/10/2012 - 7/29/2012 5/27/2012 5/20/2012 and 6/03/2012 5/13/2012 3/25/2012 - 5/6/2012 2/19/2012 - 3/04/2012 3/11/2012 1/1/2012 1/8/2012 - 2/12/2012 12/4/2011 - 12/24/2011 10/23/2011 - 11/27/2011 10/16/2011 8/7/2011 - 10/9/2011 9/11/2011 6/5/2011 - 7/31/2011 5/22/2011 5/15/2011 4/3/2011 - 5/1/2011 3/13/2011 - 3/27/2011 2/13/2011 - 3/6/2011 1/2/2011 - 1/30/2011 12/5/2010 - 12/24/2010 11/7/2010 - 11/28/2010 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. 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. 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. 6/13/2010 - 7/18/2010 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. 5/23/2010 - 6/6/2010 There are some foundational truths that distinguish Christianity from other world religions. This series of messages considers the Big 3 of Christianity. 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? 5/16/2010 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. 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. 3/7/2010 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. 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.
