Revelation 13-14 It's no surprise to us that the political entities in this world are vying for our allegiance. It happens every year around election season. That seems pretty obvious to us. But John helps us look behind the curtain of reality to see the greater ways that the Enemy tries to divide or divert our allegiance to Christ--at times even using beastly like politics to get us to support th...

Revelation 12 In week 6 of our series, guest preacher, Pastor Kent Landhuis from Cedar Hills Community Church reminds us--especially in our current political season--who our real enemy is.

Revelation 8:2-11:19 In Week 5 of our Revelation series, Pastor Thomas challenges us to read and see the judgments of Revelation the way that John's original readers would have received it: through the lens of the Exodus from Egypt.

Revelation 6:1-8:1 Week 4 of our Revelation series moves us into the major judgments of God--texts that have often been used to "scare people into salvation." But what if John is showing us a different picture of God? Instead of a vengeful and vindictive God, what if this vision is showing us a God who will act justly on behalf of those who have been abused, neglected, or taken advantage...

Revelation 4-5 Week 3 in our "Dissent from Babylon" series. All too often our focus is in the book of Revelation falls on the wrong things. So much so that we miss what this book is all about: the One who sits on the Throne and the Lamb.

Revelation 2-3 In Week 2 of our Revelation series, Pastor Thomas challenges us to evaluate our faithfulness by our fruit? Are we as the church functioning as God made us to? Or do we look a little too much like Babylon?

Revelation 1 Why would we do this to ourselves? Why would we purposely choose to study a book that is so divisive and polarizing as the book of Revelation? Isn't the Church already divided enough? Won't this just exacerbate the problem? We're diving into this new series because this book is a gift from the Living Christ. It's a gift for the Church to help us become more like Him--e...

Ephesians 2:11-3:21 Jesus' vision for His Bride, the Church, is radically different from what so many have experienced. Our hope is that New Life would be a representation of the Church as Jesus would have her--a place that breaks down barriers, welcomes the outsider and makes them feel like insiders by showing them the love of Christ.

John 14:15-27 Is our view of the Holy Spirit more informed by what the Bible says or by popular culture? The answer may surprise you.

Romans 3:21-31 How is Jesus perfectly positioned to deal with our sin problem?

Acts 17:16-33 In week 3 of our series "You are a Theologian," Pastor Thomas shows us how important is it that God reveals His character to us. Knowing what God is like also us to worship Him rightly and see how much better He is than the false representations of God the world tries to float our way.

Deuteronomy 6:4 / Mark 1:9-13 In our new series, "You Are A Theologian," Pastor Thomas helps us understand and talk about God rightly in a world with so many conflicting ideas about who God is. Why is the fact that God exists as three Persons in One Being and essential Christian doctrine? Because our salvation depends on it.

1 Timothy 4:4-9 We're blessed to hear and be reminded by our youth of the basic essence of our faith. We can often so overcomplicate things and get lost in the weeds that we need our next generation to remind us of these essential truths from God's Word.

[TW: SA, r*pe] Judges 19-21 As we conclude our series in Judges, we reach the moral nadir of the entire book. How do we as the people of God come to terms with the fact that the Church--among God's people--is not always a safe place to be?

Matthew 27:27-54 Is there anyone who is able to lead a perfect life like Jesus? The message of Good Friday is that there isn't. But what makes this Friday "Good" is that we don't have to be.
