New Community Church

Pastor Brandon and Pastor Hannah are back from Belize, and they have exciting news and stories to share! This week, we get to hear some of the ways God is at work in another country, as well as hear of opportunities to serve and be a part of what He's doing in Belize.

From a Biblical perspective, we are all called to give of ourselves. God is deserving of our all, including our time, talents, and finances. This week, Pastor Brandon delivers a Word on the importance of giving back to the Kingdom and how simple and fulfilling that truly is. 

It can be easy for us to hesitate before moving into something we feel God may be calling us to. We usually want to wait for the "right time" or "perfect moment". But sometimes God calls us to move and we need to be ready to bravely rise to the challenge then and there, fully expecting God to meet us on the other side. This week, Pastor Brandon recounts a story in scripture of a man who did just t...

It can be easy to pray small, mundane, "safe" prayers. But God is in the business of making us braver, not safer. He wants us to step out in faith in big ways with our prayers to Him. Ask yourself this: does the size of your prayers match the size of your God and His power? This week, Pastor Hannah points us toward the importance of praying prayers that demonstrate the full power and glory of God.

In one of Jesus' most famous parables, He gives an illustration of how passionately God cares for and about those who do not know Him. Jesus' depiction of His relentless pursuit of our hearts is a charge to us to follow in leading our loved ones to the heart of God. This week, Pastor Brandon discusses the Parable of the Lost Sheep and applies it to the "Ones" around us.

When it comes to decision making, the sad reality is human nature often isn't in line with God's vision for our lives. In our flesh, we desire things outside of His plan for us that can cause us to grow distant from Him. With Jesus at the center of our decision making process, however, we have the opportunity to walk into new life, in step with God's ideal plans! This week, Pastor Brandon shares s...

As humans, we have a tendency to feel things very deeply. Unfortunately, some of those feelings can control us and move us to places we never meant to go. But God gave us feelings to move us into closer relationship with Him. This week, Pastor Brandon discusses our feelings from the viewpoint of God's original design, and even uses Jesus' emotions during His physical time spent on earth as an exam...

Toxic thoughts, depression, anxiety - our mental health has been aggravated by this chaotic world. But we shouldn't settle into this mental mess as if it's just our new normal. The road to healthier thoughts may be easier and shorter than you think. This week, Pastor Hannah kicks off a new sermon series all about taking charge of every thought to cleanse our minds.

"What is the meaning of life?" This age old question can be answered simply, if we look closely enough at scripture: God wants to redeem us, so we can find real fulfillment in Him and make a difference for His Kingdom. As we close out our Hello Possible series, Pastor Brandon delivers some insight on God's desire to restore us to our true purposes. 

In this day and age, it's so easy to be wrapped up in bondage and not even realize it. How can we possibly get to a place of freedom, and what do we do once we're there? This week, Pastor Brandon teaches on God's heart for us to find true, everlasting freedom in Him, and the tools He offers us to find victory over bondage in our day to day lives.

HE IS RISEN, INDEED! As we celebrate the miraculous resurrection of Jesus this Easter, Pastor Brandon gets at the heart of what that sacrifice truly means for us. Join us as we hear about how Jesus' victory over death transforms our lives and frees us from our bondage.

We're all seeking fulfillment in our lives, but we can get sidetracked by how we define fulfillment. So how do we get to that true "life to the full" that we hear about in scripture? This week, Pastor Hannah points us in the right direction in getting to Jesus' answer to that question.

To kick off a new series, this week Pastor Brandon talks about the promises of God. Join us as we take a closer look at God's heart and vision for us to be unified and connected with Him and the importance of the promises in His Word. 

God wants to help us repair and restore our broken relationships, but he also wants to help us build healthy, whole ones. In this teaching, Brandon walks through three commitments we can make to build life-giving relationships.

When someone wrongs us, it's easy to harbor the negative feelings we feel about the situation, perhaps longer than we should. So how do we move forward and process those feelings in a healthy way? Pastor Hannah and Pastor Brandon tackle that question by discussing the importance of forgiveness, both for the offender and the offended.

Most of us have struggled at one point or another to find the right ways to repair a broken relationship with someone else. Reconciling can feel a little awkward or messy, especially when we're the ones in the wrong. So where do we even begin? This week, Pastor Brandon leads us through scripture that provides some context and language for making our relational wrongs right, just as God intends for...

Relationships of all kinds can be tricky to navigate. We've all experienced hurt from someone we were in a relationship with - maybe a romantic partner, a family member, or a coworker - and we've probably done some of the hurting as well. But where do those conflicts come from at their core, and how do we move forward? This week, Brandon discusses God's heart for bridging the gaps in our relations...

This week, join us as former NFL player Sam Rogers shares his powerful story of patience, perseverance, and learning to trust God fully. Sam tells about his NFL journey, how it helped him see the Lord working in his life, and how it taught him to surrender his plans to Him.

What word comes to mind when you think of the Holy Spirit? Unfortunately, many people say things like cautious, confused or even cynical. But Jesus promised He was something good and worth trusting. He took the Holy Spirit seriously and the first community of Jesus followers took Him seriously; therefore so should we. To finish out our Acts 2:42, Hannah and Brandon talk about who the Holy Spirit i...

People have worshipped God for thousands of years. We can look to the first followers of Jesus for an example of how they expressed their deep devotion to Him. This week, Brandon discusses the words Jesus spoke about the way we are to follow after the Father's heart. Matthew 15:8

Relationships have so much potential in your life. The problem, however, is that we've all had bad relationships. In Part 3 of this series, Hannah and Brandon discuss God's desires for your relationships and how we can build meaningful relationships at New Co. through Small Groups. John 13:34-35. 

During week 2 of this series, we're looking at one of the four priorities that undergirded the early church, as detailed in Acts 2:42. During this weeks message, Brandon tackles the question of what the early Christians valued the Scriptures so much, and why you should too.

What does it look like to build a new community of faith? Fortunately the very first community of Christian followers went through this and took note of some important pillars that marked their community. This week kicked off a brand new series diving deeper into those priorities, and today Brandon's message centered on the priority of prayer. Discover what could change in your life if you chose t...

So many of us have been waiting for 2020 to be over, but we're not so sure 2021 is going to look that different. Instead of praying for change on the outside, it's time to start praying for change on the inside. During this message Brandon and Hannah lay out a vision for how to do that as individuals and as a new community. Philippians 2:14-16

Christmas only happened, the Light of the World was only born as a baby, because of a yes. God was looking for many people to say yes to carrying His Light into His World, but He started with Mary.  Join us as we ease-drop into her story and the moment that changed her life forever. Luke 1:22-28
