New Dawn Parish

In a world where misinformation, injustice, and inequality are deeply woven into the fabric of society, what does God expect from us? In this New Moon Service, we dive into Exodus 23:1–9—God’s call to justice, truth, and compassion in how we live with one another. These laws were not just rules for ancient Israel; they’re radical reminders of what it means to be human in a broken world. From resis...

In this Mercy Day message, we reflect on the moment when Jesus opened the minds of His disciples to understand the Scriptures. In a world full of chaos and confusion, we explore how Christ offers not just peace, but His very presence as the anchor for our mission. This episode reminds us that we are not sent out alone—we are clothed with power from on high. Let this be a call to rest in His mercy,...

Children are more than just a joy—they are a trust. Proverbs 10 shows us how a wise child brings joy to their parents, while foolishness brings grief. In Mark 10, we see Jesus’ tender heart toward children, blessing them and declaring that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. This message explores how godly upbringing, childlike faith, and righteous living go hand in hand. Whether you’re a...

In this sobering message, we confront a challenging but necessary call to holiness within the body of Christ. Paul’s words to the Corinthian church are sharp: judge those inside the church, not the world. This sermon unpacks the difference between grace and compromise, discipline and condemnation, and what it means to uphold righteousness in love. How do we navigate relationships with believers wh...

After the ruins, God gives the grace to rebuild. As we mark 14 years of New Dawn, this service is a celebration of second chances and the sacred work of restoration. Nehemiah shows us what it means to start again under pressure—with opposition on the outside but deep resolve on the inside. Through Isaiah, we are reminded that even when we feel forgotten, God is still writing our restoration story—...

In this special Ascension Service, we reflect on the moment Jesus was lifted into heaven—not as a farewell, but as a commissioning. The Ascension reminds us that Christ is not absent, but exalted—enthroned at the right hand of the Father and still present with us through His Spirit. From Bethany to the ends of the earth, we are invited into the mission He left behind: to be His witnesses, live by...

Mercy doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to sin—it means confronting it with truth and love. In this Mercy Day message, we explore Paul’s strong words to the Corinthian church about unchecked immorality within their ranks. What happens when a community tolerates what God calls them to correct? How does mercy guide us not only to forgive but also to uphold holiness? This sermon dives into the tension...

In a world that often places its trust in fleeting things—people, power, and possessions—Psalm 146 calls us into a radical reorientation: “Do not put your trust in princes…” Instead, it invites us into The Praise Era—a season where our faith is anchored in the eternal, unchanging character of God. At this Prophet/ess Service, we’ll explore what it means to live in continual praise, how prophetic v...

In a world that prizes power, perfection, and self-sufficiency, how do we make sense of weakness? In this Mercy Day message, we dive into Paul’s countercultural declaration that “when I am weak, then I am strong.” Through the lens of 2 Corinthians 12:1–10, we explore how God’s mercy doesn’t just cover our weakness—it works through it. This episode reminds us that our greatest strength may not lie...

Before change can happen on the outside, transformation must begin within. In this powerful episode of the New Dawn Podcast, we reflect on the prophet Jeremiah’s lament and call to examine our ways and return to the Lord. Through sorrow, repentance, and a heart open to God’s mercy, we are invited to experience a great change — not just in our circumstances, but in our souls.

In this service we discuss The mystery of our dream life — more than just random thoughts? • Jacob’s ladder: a supernatural moment that reveals how thin the veil is between heaven and earth • God’s powerful promise to Jacob — identity, legacy, and land • Divine encounters that shift the course of your life • Waking up to God’s presence: “Surely the Lord is in this place…” • Luz becomes Bethel — wh...

In a world filled with endless arguments and distractions, God calls us to something higher: to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace. This message explores Paul’s charge to Timothy to flee youthful passions, gently correct opponents, and live in a way that honors the Lord. It’s a call to spiritual maturity, self-control, and a heart ready to serve. Whether you’re a leader or a learner, thi...

When we stray into idolatry—whether by placing our trust in false gods or the fleeting things of this world—God, in His mercy, calls us back. In Judges 10, Israel’s repeated cycle of rebellion and repentance reminds us of humanity’s deep need for true deliverance. In 2 Thessalonians 1, Paul encourages believers to endure, grow in faith, and reflect Christ’s glory even amid trials. In this message,...

In this episode, we reflect on the power of remembrance and divine intervention. “Ebenezer,” meaning “Thus far the Lord has helped us,” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a declaration of God’s faithfulness in the face of fear, battles, and uncertainty. Through the story of Israel’s victory over the Philistines, we’re reminded that when we return to God with all our hearts, He shows up mightily on our behal...

In this episode of The New Dawn Podcast, we reflect on Israel’s return to the Lord under the leadership of Samuel. After years of spiritual decline, the ark of God—symbolizing His presence—remains in obscurity until the people begin to seek the Lord with all their hearts. This message is a call to repentance, renewal, and reverence. Just as Israel turned from foreign gods and fasted before the Lor...

In this New Moon Service, we explore God’s heart for His people through the prophetic words of Hosea. This message, by our shepherd SUP/EVANGELIST MICHAEL OLORUNNISOLA drawn from Hosea 6:1–11, is a call to return—to seek the Lord with sincerity, not performative religion. It speaks of healing after brokenness, restoration after wandering, and the deep desire of God for steadfast love rather than s...

What is the true essence of man? Not fame. Not fortune. Not fleeting pleasure. According to Ecclesiastes, it all comes down to this: Fear God and keep His commandments. In this Power Day Service, we strip back the noise and face the eternal truth about life’s purpose. The words of the wise are like goads—sharp, stirring, and unshakable. God calls us beyond surface-level living into the weight of w...

In a world full of noise, what does it really mean to hear from God? This special Prophet/ess Service dives deep into the prophetic promise poured out in Acts 2:17-22. God’s Spirit is not restricted to the few—it’s for sons and daughters, the young and old, the dreamers and visionaries. This is the divine template of prophecy: inclusive, powerful, and rooted in purpose. We’ll explore what true pro...

On this Resurrection morning, we gather not just to remember a moment in history, but to celebrate the living reign of Jesus Christ—the Risen King. Psalm 2 reminds us of the futility of resisting God’s anointed, and 1 Corinthians 15 brings us back to the heart of the gospel: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. In a world that often ra...

As darkness covers the land, Jesus breathes His last. In that sacred moment, the curtain of the temple tears in two—signaling that the barrier between God and humanity has been forever removed. In Luke’s account, the centurion declares Jesus’ innocence, and the crowd leaves in awe and grief. Even in death, Christ’s power speaks. Even in silence, heaven moves. Listen to the full teaching here as we...

On Good Friday, the Lamb of God stands before Pilate—bruised, beaten, and silent. Though innocent, Jesus is mocked as a king, crowned with thorns, and presented to the crowd. Pilate sees no fault in Him, yet the pressure to please the people outweighs justice. This moment captures both the weight of human sin and the depth of divine mercy. Jesus, though fully in control, chooses not to resist. His...

On Holy Thursday, Jesus reveals the true state of the human heart, kneels to wash the feet of His disciples, and breaks bread in what would be His final meal before the cross. In Gethsemane, He prays, grieves, and ultimately surrenders to the will of the Father. Through His words in Mark, we’re reminded that it is not what’s outside that defiles, but what flows from within. In John, we see humilit...

On Holy Wednesday, we find Jesus confronted again by the Pharisees and Sadducees—demanding a sign from heaven. But instead of giving in to their hardened hearts, Jesus turns to His disciples with a warning: “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees.” This episode invites us to reflect on the subtle influences that can distort truth and weaken faith. As the cross draws nearer, Jesus calls His followers t...

In this parable, Jesus tells a story about ten virgins—five wise, five foolish. They were all waiting for the bridegroom, but only half were truly prepared. When the moment came, it was too late for the others to catch up. This episode dives into what it means to live ready: not just hoping for Christ’s return, but preparing for it daily. We reflect on spiritual alertness, consistency in our walk...

As Jesus’ miracles draw more hearts to believe, the religious leaders begin to fear the loss of their power. Instead of embracing the truth, they choose to resist it—setting in motion the plot to take His life. On this Holy Monday, we reflect on how the light of Christ can unsettle the darkness around it. Through this passage, we see that even in the midst of opposition, God’s plan for salvation i...
