New Hills Church Podcast

You know your name, where you're from, what you do and other parts of your story. But what if you still don't know the most important part of your story?

We love to research our ancestry or other information about our own family history. But there is an even greater story about your life that goes all the way back to the beginning of time.

Whether it's a great movie or a best-selling book, we love stories. But sometimes we don't love our own story because it feels boring or insignificant or wasted. What is there is more to your story? What if God is writing a story that is greater than any other story ever told?

In this message from New Hills Church, we look at Hebrews 12 and discover why the people around us can shape the way we run the race of faith. God gives us examples from those who have gone before us, Christian community for the race we're running today, and ultimately Jesus—the perfect runner who never leaves us to finish alone. If you've felt isolated, spiritually disconnected, or like you've be...

All of our lives are headed toward a clear finish line. How can we make sure we finish the race of life in victory?

Life is hard. There are so many challenges that come our way and it can be easy to have moments where you want to throw in the towel. How do we make sure we don't give up and live the life we were made to live?

So many things can happen in life that make us feel like we have "missed it." We think we messed up too much or made too many mistakes but God makes it clear that even if we fall, we can still finish.

We understand that if we want to get in physical shape, we have to eat right and exercise. But what does it take to get spiritually fit? What can you do to develop your spiritual muscles?

Life can become very mundane and repetitive and it is easy to lose our motivation. But once we see our lives the way God does, we can really step into the incredible race He has for us.

Why is it so easy to compare our lives to everyone else's? The Tenth Commandment—"You shall not covet"—reveals that the greatest battle often isn't what we do, but what we desire. In the final message of the Thou Shalt Live series, we explore how comparison, envy, and constantly wanting more quietly rob us of peace. Through the story of Achan, the teaching of the Apostle Paul, and the example of J...

We all know what it's like to bend the truth or fib or give a little white lie. It is a way to avoid confrontation or awkwardness or just make life easier. But what is really going on when we lie? And what can happen in our own lives when we decide to step fully into the truth?

Marriage, Sex & Adultery: Why God's Design Leads to Life  God's command, "You shall not commit adultery," isn't about taking something away—it's about protecting something sacred. In this message from the Thou Shalt Live series, we explore God's design for marriage, sexual purity, and covenant relationships. Discover why faithfulness matters, how to guard your heart from temptation, and why no...

What if God’s command “You must not steal” is actually an invitation to live free? In this message from the Thou Shalt Live series, discover how Jesus restores identity, fills what’s empty, and invites us into a life of generosity.

What if everything you’ve been chasing—achievement, control, recognition—can’t give you the life you’re longing for? In this message from 2 Kings 5, we look at the story of Naaman and discover that true success isn’t found in status or strength, but in humble surrender to God. When we let go of control, God brings healing, freedom, and real life.

New seasons often feel intimidating. Whether it’s family, work, or faith, stepping into the unknown requires courage. In this sermon, we look at the story of Noah and discover how God prepares us for big challenges, calls us to obedience before clarity, and remains faithful even when we fall short. This message is part of our Thou Shalt Live series, exploring how God’s commands lead us into a full...

"You shall not murder" may be the shortest commandment, but it carries a powerful warning. This message explores how murder begins long before a weapon—with resentment, bitterness, and contempt. Through Scripture and practical insight, discover how God wants to heal what’s hidden, restore what’s broken, and help you live free from the anger that slowly destroys us from the inside out.

Some of our best and most difficult relationships are with those we share the same name with. God has a special command designed to help us work through the challenges of family relationships.

Life can often feel like a treadmill. You are constantly running from one thing to the next just trying to keep up. God actually provides a solution to the fatigue we feel that allows us to access a level of rest we did not know was possible.

In this message from the Thou Shalt LIVE series, we look at how God’s name represents His reputation, character, and authority—and how misusing it can happen through our language, our lifestyle, and even our spiritual excuses.

What is the most important thing in my life? Our answer to this question can sometimes be very different from how we live this question. But it is the one question that matters more than anything else.

When God says "No" often our first response is to think He is withholding something from us. What if behind every one of God's "No's" is a better "Yes" that can set you free to live the life you were made to live?

Life can turn messy in a moment—one mistake, one conversation, one unexpected turn. In this message from our Moments series, we explore how God meets us in the middle of our mess and uses it for redemption, not shame. Through the story of Joseph, we’re reminded that what feels like the end may actually be the beginning of what God is building. Your mess is a moment, not a monument—and God is still...

There are times in your life where you face a life-altering decision that can totally change the course of your life. What do you do in these moments and what might God be up to?

Most of life can feel pretty repetitive and mundane. We do a lot of the same things that don't seem to matter in the grand scheme of life. But what if it's the little moments that actually matter the most? How do we maximize these moments so we can see God move in big ways? 

Have you ever looked back and thought, "I’ve wasted so much time"? Missed opportunities. Regret. Seasons that feel lost. Moments you wish you could redo. The good news is this: you haven’t wasted your life. In this message, God in the Moments, we explore how God doesn’t just work in big, dramatic events—but in everyday moments. The Bible teaches that God moves in appointed moments, not just clock...
