New King Church

Hello New King Church, we are so excited to continue our study in Mark this week through chapter 12:13-17. Here Jesus addresses the Pharisees' questions about paying taxes and being faithful to God. These verses will challenge us to consider where our true allegiances lie and how we can honor God no matter where we live. We hope you will join us Sunday!  

The Parable of the Vineyard (or of the Tenants) that Jesus tells is in response to the religious leaders questioning His authority in the previous chapter.  The parable is violent and ends in death and destruction. Why did I volunteer to preach this section?  How am I going to relate it to 2025?  Come this week and hear about three main themes: Temple, Authority, and Commitment and see how they re...

Good afternoon New King Church family. We are continuing on in our study of Mark in a familiar passage to many where Jesus curses a fig tree and cleanses the temple. This Sunday we will study why it is Jesus does this and how to apply these verses to our life today. We hope to see you there!

Finally, we are back in the Gospel of Mark after spending the holiday season discussing our values and advent. This week Jesus has arrived in Jerusalem in a passage that has often been called “The Triumphal Entry”. However, as we will see, in Mark’s account the surprising details he shares will both encourage and challenge us as we learn what it means to follow Jesus. We can’t wait to see you Sund...

It's been weeks since we last preached from the Book of Mark. Next week we will pick back up in chapter 11. In order to refocus our minds and prepare our hearts to continue our series "Who is Jesus?" we will spend this week recapping and looking forward to the events in Mark. We will also reflect on the incarnation of Jesus and how we should celebrate Emmanuel all year long.

The advent of Jesus was the joyful realization of the long-awaited Messiah, yet Christ's arrival, like our lives, was also marked by grief and hostility.  This week we will see that, even through the hardships of life, we can experience complete joy through Jesus Christ.  1 John 1:1-4

Peace, it's something we all long and search for but it seems so hard to get. In our world we see the absence of peace in wars around the globe, recent political elections, chaos from it all, our own anxieties and fears, and broken relationships in our lives. Where can we find peace in the midst of no peace? In this week's sermon we will look to the scriptures and then see Jesus Christ the one who...

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Advent series with Jesus the Light of Comfort.  This week we'll look again at the story of Simeon who was waiting for the long promised Messiah, the one called the consolation or comfort of Israel.  We'll learn what comfort is, what comfort looks like and how to get it.

Join us this Sunday as we begin our Advent series with Jesus our hope.  This week we'll look at the story of Simeon who was waiting for the long promised Messiah.  From this passage, we'll see what hope is, what hope looks like, and how to have hope. Luke 2:25-35

This Sunday our sermon will be on our third value, depth of bible study, and our fourth value, multiplication. We will focus our study on the example of the fellowship of believers in Acts 2:42-47. Here we will see how their devotion to God and his word led to faithful witness to those around them! We can’t wait to see you Sunday!

New King's first and second values are Jesus and Hospitality. Because Jesus is the highly exalted King, he naturally is first in all things, including everything we do at New King. In Colossians, Paul points us to the grandeur and glory of Jesus in both his person and in his work. He then exhorts us to live as God's chosen ones in the same way that Jesus lived as he came to rescue us. 

This week we will take a break from our study in Mark to take time to discuss our mission and values at New King. The topic this week will specifically be on our mission to be a church that helps people find and follow Jesus. Our focus passage for this week will be John 17 where Jesus prays to the Father for Himself and His disciples. We can’t wait to see you on Sunday!

Tyler Twombly's sermon from Session 2 of Our Family of Churches Conference.

Michael Badger's sermon from Session 1 of Our Family of Churches Conference.

In Mark chapter 10, Jesus has taught us about what it means to be His disciple in very practical ways.  He taught about marriage, children, and possessions/money.  And His teaching was profoundly counter-cultural.  And now in this section, Jesus teaches about leadership.  And guess what? His view of leadership is counter-cultural and upside down just like all the others.  

This week we are following up our discussion in Mark 10:17-31 with a practical study on biblical stewardship. The focus of this sermon will be on God’s call to live generously and the benefits of following this call. We will also look at how the bible instructs us to be good stewards, not just of our possessions, but of our whole lives. We can’t wait to see you on Sunday!

This week will be continuing in Jesus’ teachings “on the way” from Mark 10:17-31. Here we will see Jesus interact with a rich young man who asks life’s most important question. Through Jesus' answer to the man and his following conversation with the disciples, we will see how we are to enter the kingdom of God and how to view our monetary possessions in this life. We hope to see you Sunday!

This week we will continue studying Jesus' teaching to his disciples on the way to Jerusalem from Mark 10:1-16. Here Jesus will use the examples of marriage and children to reveal what should be at the heart of every true disciple. In this passage, we will also see how we can enter God’s kingdom and address the hardness in our heart that separates us from God.

Jesus and three of the disciples have just had an amazing experience on a mountain. Now they come down to the bottom of the mountain and are faced with the sad reality of Satan at war with humanity, faithlessness of not only a father, but also Jesus's disciples. We will see that even though our faith can often be imperfect, our perfect Lord and Savior is compassionate to help us in our weakness. N...

As Jesus disciples struggle with his teaching in the previous chapter, Jesus invites Peter, James, and John to witness the revealing of his glory and the confirmation of his deity which will change their lives forever. Join us this Sunday as we examine Christ’s transfiguration and see that, Jesus wants us to recognize his deity and he wants to know us personally.

In this passage, Jesus asks a very important question about His identity and Peter gets the right answer, but has the wrong understanding.  Jesus corrects him in the most dramatic way- "Get behind me Satan!" and goes on to tell Peter he has wrong thinking.  How is our thinking clouded by our place in history and the events going on around us?  How do we get our mind right about Jesus and what it m...

This Sunday we will read through Mark 8:10-26. Here we will see Jesus interact again with the Pharisees and the Disciples. Mark will use this interaction to help his readers, and us, question what their understanding is of Jesus and what keeps people from truly seeing Jesus. We look at these themes and how they apply to us on Sunday. We hope to see you there!

This week we will be studying Mark 7:24-8:9 where we will see Jesus going into the areas outside of Israel and interacting with several surprising people. Jesus will perform two healings and even miraculously feed four-thousand people all of whom you would think are outsiders. But Jesus treats them like they are all a part of God's family.

This week we will study Mark 7:1-23 where Jesus confronts religious leaders in Israel about their rejection of God's word through their man made traditions. We will see that only Jesus can cleanse the human heart and not our actions or religious practices. 

In this next story, the disciples are in a boat, struggling against the wind and the waves.  Jesus sees them and goes to them, walking across the water.  Mark uses this intriguing phrase "He meant to pass them by."   And Mark tells us that the disciples didn't understand about the loaves.  What is Jesus doing out there on the water?  What is He trying to teach them, for a second time?
