Newlife Sermons

Paul tells us that if we are going to fulfill the mission Jesus has given us that we must be prepared to face hardship. How do you respond to hardship?

Are you disciplining yourself so that you aren't "shadow boxing" or risk being disqualified? 1 Cor. 9:24-27

Your response to God's Word determines your relationship with God & others. Mark 4 reveals what kind of soil we are. Which are you?

God has established his throne with righteousness and justice. He expects those who follow Him to have the same principles, so we have the opportunity to defend those who can defend themselves. Don't allow the world to corrupt your heart and make it hardened to those around you.

There was an idea called the church - the idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people - to see if they could be something more...

If we aren't careful, there are many things that can cloud, invade and harden our hearts. God has asked for our whole hearts, not just a piece or part.

Don't be part of that world that lives in discontentment and materialism. Scripture gives warnings and solutions for this common trap.

We find in Facing The Giants (the scene can be found in the resources tab) that we tend to not give our best unless we are assured of the outcome. But in life these assurances are rare, so determine today to give God your best - no matter if you've failed, where you've been or what you've done, give God your best and see the wonder of His provision!

If we want to see what Jesus meant when he told us to love one another, then we have to watch how Jesus loved. He understood and embraced the tension of being full of grace and truth.

When Jesus gave his first public message to the crowds he shared values and a lifestyle that was contrary to the culture. We are not called to blend in, but rather to be salt and light.

The Apostle Paul gave us very clear directions on how we are to believe as disciples and who we are to judge and who we are not to judge. Do you know what the Bible says about this very relevant and important topic?

Jesus declared that we are to love one another like He loved us. Is this the hallmark of your faith and how you follow Him? Whenever the church doesn't lead with love we are taking steps backward.

When it comes to our lives we must remember that we are managers, not owners of what has been given to us. We will all give an account of how we handled our lives - are you ready to answer?

You may think you see and feel what is going on around you, but there is more at work, more in you and for you than we can imagine unless we renew our minds.

When it comes to your faith in Christ, do you believe that he just has to say the word?

If you face a fear of lack, understand that what seems like not enough, when placed in the hands of God becomes more than enough.

If you have ever faced difficult situations, limitations, worry or doubt that God has overlooked you, then join us in Judges 6 and get ready to be a hero.

Many skip the story of the outpouring and jump to waiting for Christ's return and yet the beginning of the church and the mission of Christ are vital for us to be part of. Have you been filled? Are you pouring out?

Many today want favor, promotion, blessing and praise but what if God's will is the hardest thing you've ever been asked to do - like die to all your future dreams, accolades and plans? Join us Matthew 26 for the benefits of brokenness.
