Is failure fatal? It sure doesn’t have to be. Peter, one of Jesus’ closest friends botched big time when he denied knowing Jesus three times. Even though his failure was huge, his faith did not fail. And God did not fail him. After repentance and restoration, God used him to do great things for the church. Join us today as we conclude this exciting series called Botched.

Every Christian today has a “before I was a Christian” past. It’s a part of our story that points to the mercy and grace of the Lord in our life. That story is a powerful weapon of great testimony. Join us today as we unpack the story of a man who went from ignorance and unbelief to a great example of God‘s mercy and grace.

Have you ever just up and quit on something that you were doing for God? Have you turned your back when He called you? Have you ever promised God that you would do something, but then you didn’t do it? If so, then you have something in common with John Mark from the book of Acts. He teaches us that you can bounce back from failure! Join us today as we continue our “Botched” series.

In sports, it’s never a good thing to take your eye off the ball! The same is true in our walk with the Lord. Today we will learn from one of the greatest prophets in the Bible who experienced a season of fear and took his eye off the ball in serving the Lord. He botched, but his failure wasn’t fatal. After a time of refreshing and refocusing he got back to serving the Lord.

Today begins a new series called Botched. We will tackle the tough question of, “is sin fatal?” We will begin this series with one of the most notorious botched moments by anyone in all of scripture, and that would be King David. Psalm 51 unlocks the key on moving forward when we fail.

Join us today as we celebrate the risen Christ this Easter and look forward to our incredible homecoming in heaven!

The book of Genesis comes to an end with incredible blessings and extreme forgiveness. Both serve as powerful examples of how we are to live our lives today. Join us for the exciting conclusion of Origins.

After a 22 year long separation, Joseph is reunited with his father Jacob. It’s a tremendous step towards fulfilling the promise that God made to Abraham about the future of this family. Not only does God rescue Joseph’s family from the famine but God will use an existing prejudice against shepherds in Egypt to prosper this family. At the same time, there are some tremendous lessons for us today a...

Join us today as New Life’s Student Pastor, Taylor Duke continues our “Origins” series by unpacking Joseph’s story.

The sovereignty of God is a reference to God‘s greatness and supremacy. It means that there is nothing that happens in the universe that is outside of God’s influence and authority. This sovereignty is clearly seen in chapters 40 & 41 of Joseph’s story. His sovereignty is also clearly seen in our lives today. The Lord is intricately involved in our lives and that is good news.

Every story has a hero. The book of Genesis is no different. Joseph is that hero, but he doesn’t look the part when we first meet him. The hero of any story is rarely the one who flees. However, that is exactly what Joseph does in our text today and in doing so makes it obvious that God is with him. Join us today as we begin to unpack Joseph’s heroic role in God’s story of building a nation.

Have you ever felt like your life was on a downward trajectory? Then Genesis chapter 34 has a message for you. No matter how many times we failed the Lord, we can go home again if we truly repent and obey!

Our society has a knack for labeling. We label everything, including people. If you’ve ever been labeled, then you know how hard it can be to shake it. However, when Jesus comes into your life he gives you a brand new label! Jacob, in Genesis chapter 32 reminds us that when we surrender to God our sins and old identity, then the Lord will make you brand new!

Turning points in life are big deals! It’s a moment of great awareness or a shift in momentum that point us in a new direction. We all have them in life. In Genesis 30 & 31, Jacob will experience a turning point in his life. An awareness that God is not done with him and a new attitude and direction is forged. Perhaps you are about to experience your own turning point.

Today we continue our series Origins and discover that Jacob fled from one unhappy home to find out he has created another. Years of drama, infighting, and jealousy fill their daily lives. Everyone is pursuing what they want with little regard towards what God wants. Genesis 29 & 30 is a good reminder that we need to put God first in everything!

“What goes around comes around” basically means that eventually you get what you deserve. Liars get lied to, thieves get robbed, and deceivers eventually get deceived themselves. All of this is true in our text today, but so is the reality that God has a plan and never gives up on anyone. Join us today as we continue this incredible journey of God’s promise through Abraham’s family.

Sibling rivalry is alive and well in Genesis 25. These twin boys, Jacob and Esau started fighting even while they were growing in their mother's womb. It will follow them into adulthood and provide the world with many examples of how not to be. Above it all, one brother will do the unthinkable and it still serves as an example to us all today that our actions can have severe and irrevocable conseq...

How do you respond when life gets hard? What do you do when your faith is put to the test? Abraham faced the toughest test of his life when God told him to do the unthinkable. What unfolds in Genesis chapter 22 serves as a tremendous example to us today of how to thrive when our faith is put to the test.

Genesis clearly teaches us that God is both creator and judge. We see this all over the pages of Genesis. We see it once again in Genesis 19 with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Yet, God‘s mercy and grace shine through even devastating circumstances. Join us today as we unpack this exciting chapter of the Bible.

Today we continue our series through Genesis called Origins with an amazing display of service and hospitality to the Lord. What would you do if God showed up at your door one day? That’s exactly what happened to Abraham. His response is a great example of what our attitude to the Lord should be every day. Join us as we continue in Genesis chapter 18.

Join us today for Celebration Weekend! Today we celebrate all that God has done in 2021 and look forward to all that he will do in 2022.
