"If you could say in one word what you want more of in life, what would that be?" How do you suppose God might answer this hypothetical question? In reality, the bible clearly tells us what God truly desires. He desires that everyone be saved. The challenge for Christians is this—do we desire it as strongly as God does?

What is God's point of view when it comes to us? How does God view us? These are foundational questions that must be answered if we're going to see things from God's point of view. Starting with the first chapter of the bible (Gen. 1) we begin to see God's point of view clearly about the people He has made.

Today, Pastor Joe begins a new series called POV- “Seeing things from God‘s point of view.” Have you ever thought about God this way before? That He has a point of view and we are to align ours with His. Well, it’s true, and today begins the journey that will challenge and inspire your walk with the Lord!

What does it mean to trust the Lord with all of your heart? We all want to, but practically speaking, how does that happen? Today, Pastor Joe will unpack Proverbs 3:5-6 as well as look forward to the great things in store for the NewLife family as we trust Him completely.

The resurrection of Jesus was amazing all by itself. However, the fact that Jesus “called his shot” so to speak, before it happened makes it even more incredible! He called it, it happened, and we believe it!

One of the saddest moments in the Old Testament takes place in Exodus 32. The Israelites turn from God and worship an idol. It was the ultimate “stabbed God in the back”moment of the exodus. How Moses dealt with their idolatry is how it should be dealt with today. Idols must be identified, and completely removed from our lives. God and God alone is to be worshiped. Nothing could be clearer from th...

Join us this week as our Connections Pastor, Cody Ragland talks about the requirements of the priest, and how God filled specific people with His Spirit to help in the building of the Tabernacle.

How does God draw near today? In the Old Testament, it was through the tabernacle. Today, we draw near to God through Jesus Christ and through Jesus Christ alone. What God started with the Tabernacle, Jesus finished with the cross. The veil of separation has been torn away and God desires to commune with each of us individually.

When someone says “seal the deal” - we understand that to mean that an agreement has been reached and it’s time to sign the dotted line. In Exodus 23 and 24, God will seal the deal with the Israelites and the Old Covenant was born. A covenant built on trust and obedience. This covenant still has much to teach us today as followers of Christ!

In Exodus chapters 21-24, God will deliver the law. These laws will define the nature of their relationship and clarify how God expects the Israelites to deal with one another. Are these rules from yesterday still in play for Christians today? Pastor Joe unpacks this question and others in our Rescued series.

Join us as Student Pastor, Taylor Duke continues our Rescued series through the book of Exodus.

Clarity between God and the Israelites is what Exodus 19 is about. It’s time to define this relationship (DTR).  God is a holy God, and the Israelites are called to be a holy people. Much has changed since the days of the exodus. However, has that much changed concerning the kind of relationship that God desires with His people?

Join us as we continue our Exodus series called Rescued.

The Israelites have been tested with food and water and now they’ll be tested in battle. Who will they trust, themselves or the Lord? It’s the same question we are confronted with everyday. Keep the Lord and His Word raised high and trust the Lord!

“Same song, second verse” could be the phrase easily applied to Exodus chapter 17. The Israelites were still grumbling about their drinking water and still continuing to put God to the test. When are they going to learn? Where the Israelites failed in the wilderness, however, Jesus will succeed. And in doing so, he’ll model for us that he truly is the savior who provides us living water.

Trusting God in everything often takes time to develop. That is certainly the case for the Israelites after their dramatic Red Sea rescue. They must learn to trust God every step of the journey. It is what we must learn too! Every step of life’s journey we trust and seek Him first!

Join us today as we continue our study through Exodus with Connections Pastor Cody Ragland as he teaches us how the children of Israel responded to God’s miraculous rescue.

The Rescued series resumes this week with one of the most well know and beloved events in the Bible—the crossing of the Red Sea. In it we find powerful truths for today like, you can trust God and He fights for you! He is with you and will guide you! Is it any wonder that it is one of the most referenced events in the Bible.

Join us for Celebration Weekend as we celebrate all that God has done in 2022 and praise Him in advance as we look forward to what He will do in 2023!

Join us as we celebrate the birth of our risen Savior.

The next members of the cast of Christmas were some unusual visitors from the east. Exactly who were the magi? More important than “who” they were is “what” they came to do—And that is to worship the newborn King! Like with the shepherds, they reinforce the truth that Jesus is for everybody, and that Christmas is more about worship than any of our traditions!

The angels announcing the arrival of the Savior of the world to a group of shepherds shout many truths. Perhaps none bigger than the truth that Jesus is for everybody. Join us today as we continue with the next members of the Cast of Christmas—The Shepherds.

Angels were the first to announce that the Messiah had been born. This announcement of a savior would be good news for all people, and he would bring peace. But exactly what kind of peace would this Savior bring? Join us today and find out as we continue our series The Cast of Christmas.

Pastor Joe begins a new Christmas series called, "The Cast of Christmas." Today, we will see how people listened to the prophets and prepared for the arrival of the Messiah with great expectancy. Like them, we should pay close attention to God's word and prepare for Jesus' 2nd coming with great expectancy as well.
