New Life Baptist Church

The scribes and Pharisees are grumbling because Jesus "receives sinners and eats with them." As a result, Jesus speaks three parables on lostness. We'll consider our calling, as Jesus' disciples, to be under-shepherds for the...

Many people today, including many professing Christians, no longer believe in the reality of Hell. Many others would say they aren't sure if Hell exists. Naturally, if you don't believe in Hell, or you're not entirely sure people...

As we start a 3-week series entitled, "Who's Your One?", we'll learn about what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus and what that means for how we should tell others about Him.

This week in Psalm 148 we learn that all of creation praises God and that we too are called to worship the Creator and not creation.

This week we look at Psalm 136 - a Psalm of thanksgiving. By remembering who God is, what He has done, is doing and will do, we can cultivate thankful and worshipful hearts regardless of our circumstances.

This week we look at Psalm 96 and learn how Jesus, as the true and coming King, is worthy of all praise and worship.

Sometimes, we feel sad, lonely, forgotten. Some people feel that way often because of depression, or other causes. But all of us feel that way at times. Thankfully, God's Word gives perfect expression to our feelings, providing us a way to...

This week, we take a look at Psalm 35 - an imprecatory Psalm. As Christians, we are called to love and pray for our enemies. We also know that God is a God of justice who cares for and protects His people against those who wish them harm. We'll...

We'll be reminded that the war between the kingdom of self and the Kingdom of God has been raging ever since our first parents Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden....and the war continues to rage in our hearts and in our world today. God promises...

This weekend we begin our new summer series - "Steadfast: Psalms for All Seasons" We'll begin our study with Psalm 1, the great "wisdom Psalm," where we'll learn that there are just two paths to take in life. One is...

This week we wrap-up the Book of Esther, focusing on Haman. The title is, "Deadly Pride: Haman." In contrast to the active faith of Mordecai and Esther, Haman display a deadly pride that leads to destruction - the same deadly pride that...

Esther becomes the mediator the Jews need, but her victory is only temporary. The Jews - and all of God's covenant, chosen people in history - needed a better Mediator than Esther, one who could Mediate between us and God permanently and...

This week we begin our 3-week study of Esther called "Living Faith," which will focus on Mordecai, Esther, and Haman. The first sermon is called, "Living Faith: Mordecai," and we'll focus mostly on chapters 2, 3, and 4...

As we've seen, Nehemiah is a courageous leader, a godly leader, a great leader. But in spite of his great leadership (and Ezra's before him), the people just can't remain faithful to God over the long haul. It's almost like...

When we think of the Christian life today, sacrifice isn't the first thing that comes to mind for most American Christians. We think of faith, hope, love, even repentance. But we don't often think of sacrifice, perhaps because many of us...

We'll be covering 1 Corinthians 15:12-28 and learn that Jesus' resurrection is our hope at Easter and for eternity.

After confessing their sins, the people of Israel "make a firm covenant in writing" to observe and obey all of God's Law that he revealed to Moses. As we all must do, they make specific application referring to certain parts of the Law...

The people gather again to worship God, but this time the primary purpose is to pray - to praise God, to confess their sins, and to petition him. The main feature is confession, where the people are acknowledging God's great faithfulness and...

We'll learn that the believing community must be built on the firm foundation of God's Word.

The wall is finished, but the wall wasn't ever the end goal for Nehemiah - or for God. The wall was to surround the city, which was literally and figuratively a city on a hill. God's desire from the very beginning was a people for his own...

The week, we dive into Romans 3 and discover the very heart of the Gospel.

In this text Nehemiah is sending a letter to those who have been exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon during the first siege of the city. The exiles of that day are called to actively wait in Babylon and seek the Lord's redemption. For us as...

In this text, Nehemiah's adversaries display relentless opposition - seeking to distract him from the work, then seeking to kill him, then seeking to have the king kill him as a traitor. The chapter even ends with references to the fact that the...

At the Outset of Chapter 5: the wall still isn’t complete; it’s about halfway rebuilt. Nehemiah and the Jews are still facing opposition from their enemies – Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem are doing all they can to stop the rebuilding. That...
