New Community Church

The book of Proverbs is filled with Godly wisdom that can keep us moving in the right direction. In Proverbs, it is specifically mentioned that our relationships can have an enormous influence on the direction of our lives. So what do we do when those relationships are leading us somewhere we don’t want to end up? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon discusses the company we keep, as we kick off a...

As believers, there are certain things we know the Lord asks of us and we learn how to follow Him daily. But sometimes we have questions about what we "can and can't" do as a Christian. And although there's nothing inherently bad about those questions, Paul posited to the early Church that they just might not be the right questions. This week, Pastor Brandon uses Paul's letters to make the case fo...

There are hard questions in life that seem to have no answers. Loss, disappointment, disasters; all things we experience in our world, and yet it feels like there's no reason for them sometimes. In those times, it's important to know God's heart for us in the midst of our grief. This week, Pastor Hannah shares a Biblical perspective on carrying grief in our lives today.

If you've ever felt tired, weary, or as though there's never enough time in the day, you're a lot like...well, most of us, really. We've all been there - and it can be utterly draining. It's also not a weight God wants us to carry; He makes it clear in His Word that we need rest. And not just physical rest, but rest in who He is and who we were created to be in Him. This week, Sam Rogers encourage...

In this day and age, it seems like everyone has no shortage of opinions on any given topic. Sometimes those opinions can turn into criticism from outside voices in our own lives. In those instances, it's important to run every voice of input through the proper, Spirit-driven filters, as we intentionally listen for what aligns with God and His voice in our lives. This week, Pastor Hannah shares som...

Sometimes in life, we feel pain caused by situations involving those who claim to follow Jesus. Unfortunately, even the most devout Christ-followers are still human at best, and are still capable of causing us deep hurt, whether intentionally or unintentionally. So how do we respond in moments where the ones hurting us are the same ones who God directly instructs to love us or even lead us? This w...

You asked, and we're going to try to answer, as we kick off a new series based on questions from the community here at New Co! This week, we discuss the thoughts and feelings that surround being offended by someone, and recognize that God doesn't want us to just remain with those feelings. Join us, as Pastor Brandon explains how we can best handle these instances according to God's Word.

This Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of the true risen savior. He came to live and to die for our sins, but most importantly, He came to rise again from the grave, and Christianity hinges on that single point. Join us as Pastor Brandon makes the case that the reality of our faith rises and falls on the truth of Jesus' resurrection.

Jesus came to this world in the form of a man for one purpose: to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins so that we might spend eternity with God in Heaven. This week, Pastor Brandon speaks on the period of time leading up to Jesus' death and what it means for us today.

Jesus performed signs and wonders, the likes of which the world had never seen before: Healing the blind, raising the dead, and freeing the captive. He is still working miracles today. This week, Pastor Brandon shows that through Jesus' very first miracle, we discover the path to seeing God’s miracles in our own life.

The teachings of Jesus have literally changed the world as we know it. However, what made him stand out was that he perfectly modeled what he taught. Jesus did not come to earth just to die; He came to teach us how to live. This week, Pastor Hannah kicks off a new series that dives into who Jesus REALLY is. There are a lot of opinions about who He is, but He still asks us the most important questi...

The concept of Unity is something Christ-followers have always been taught the importance of. Jesus' earliest disciples knew that with no unity, there was no hope of keeping God's people united. In those days, the Apostle Paul was a devout advocate for unity in the body of Christ, and he wrote letters to the churches of the time regarding how they could achieve unity in Jesus. This week, Pastor Br...

We were all created in God's image, and as such, we all are wonderfully made for a purpose. Sometimes, it isn't easy to see the value someone else brings to our circles, but we are called to honor one another as image-bearers of the Lord. This week, Pastor Brandon invites us to take steps towards celebrating the value of people who are different than us.

Most of us are constantly striving to love and be loved, whether we recognize it or not. Sometimes we can be let down by what our image of "love" is. So how does God define love in His Word, and how do we show that type of Christ-like love to those around us? This week, Pastor Hannah reminds us that real love, like that of Jesus, is always unconditional.

The Word of God says that where no vision exists, the people perish. Too often, we give up when things get difficult due to lack of vision. But God has a clear direction laid out for each of us for success, and that's the vision He designed us to live in, as individuals, in our relationships, and as a community. This week, Pastor Brandon and Pastor Hannah teach on how vital it is to walk in unity...

In one of his letters to the early church, the Apostle Paul directly encouraged them to imitate the humility that Jesus showed during His time on earth. Paul posited that, because they had been made one with Christ, they were to also be united together in valuing one another above themselves. The same is true for us today; division is all around us, and the only way to remain united is to humble o...

Insecurities can creep into just about every aspect of our lives and shape our responses, sometimes without us even recognizing the hold they have over us. But God strongly desires to meet us in the midst of our insecurities; He doesn't ask us to "fix" them before we can enter His presence or let Him use us to our full potential. This week, Pastor Brandon closes out our Breaking Free series with a...

It can be easy to fall into patterns of "checking the boxes" of religion without even realizing it. But Jesus didn't come to start a church or a religion; He came to show grace, save souls, and demonstrate the Father's immense love for us in the process. This week, Sam Rogers delivers a message to remind us of how that same love can free us from the bondage of religious rules and performance-based...

An addiction is anything that we don’t want to do, but we cannot stop doing. We are all human and need help in overcoming strongholds and addictions at some point in our life. This week, Pastor Brandon reminds us that even though these addictions tell us lies, we can overcome them by putting God first and saying no to our flesh.

If our freedom comes from truth, then our bondage comes from a lie. One of the greatest lies we can all wrestle with is the lie of isolation. This week, Pastor Hannah breaks down how this lie can wreak havoc in our lives and three questions we must be willing to wrestle with in order to break free.

It's easy to feel helpless in unhealthy patterns that bind us. But Jesus said in one of His teachings that if we abided in His Word, we would be His followers and know truth - and that truth would be able to set us free. If our freedom comes from the truth, that means our bondage comes from a lie. Therefore, the process of breaking free is taking back our thought life, identifying the lie, and rep...

Jesus affirms that we can know and recognize God’s voice directly. God speaks through Scripture primarily, and God also speaks to us through His Spirit. This week, Pastor Brandon helps us discover how we can learn to know and recognize God’s voice.

Looking back on his 30 years as the founding pastor of a church, Tim Celek shares his experience in how God answered some of his prayers. In his message, he shares how some of the biggest answers to his prayers didn't come right away; one of the prayers he prayed most persistently, God took 11 years to answer. In our culture, we tend to want things, and we want them now - but that's not often how...

Since we were little, most of us have had high anticipation for what Christmas tends to bring. Gifts, family, food, and a renewed sense of joy in the hope that Christ brings are high on the list of things we can often count on when Christmas comes around. But what happens on December 26th and beyond, when those warm feelings aren't always as easy to feel? This week, Pastor Brandon talks about the...

This year, we had the opportunity to experience our first Christmas Eve service together as a church! Take a listen as Pastor Brandon gives some perspective on the importance of the gift of our Savior's birth.
