New King Church

Throughout Paul's letter he encourages Timothy not to shy away from the hardships he will face while living out God’s calling. Now Paul warns Timothy that many are living a counterfeit version of the christian life that allows them to appear godly while avoiding the hard work that comes with being an authentic christian. This Sunday we will discover how Paul is exhorting us to put away our natural...

Paul and Timothy were faced with personal attacks, persecution, false teachers, and times of discouragement yet Paul instructs Timothy that, in order to be a vessel that is useful to God, he must be kind to everyone. This is only possible if we have experienced and are experiencing God's transformational lovingkindness. This week we will see how the kindness of Jesus can fill our lives and overflo...

What do you think of the church in America today?  It's easy for us to be discouraged by much of the church news we see in the headlines.  Timothy had reason to be discouraged as well, as false teachers were destroying the faith of some believers.  Paul reminds him that there's a firm foundation that he can rely upon during difficult times.  Come to New King Church this week and hear how Paul enco...

At New King, we believe the Bible is more than just a book. We believe it is the very Word of God. There is nothing on this earth with more potential to transform our lives than the Bible. But we need to learn how to “rightly handle the word of truth” if we are going to experience the transforming power that is available to us. This Sunday, join us as we take a deep dive into the Bible in order to...

In our passage this Sunday, Paul is encouraging Timothy to remember Jesus. But he means more than to simply not forget. The word he uses means to keep something in your mind and not let it go. He’s telling Timothy to continually think about Jesus. But why? And what happens if he doesn’t? Join us this Sunday as we learn what’s at stake if we lose sight of Jesus and how to refocus on Jesus in a dist...

In 2 Timothy 2, Paul encourages Timothy to pass on the message of the gospel to others who will in turn pass it on. Join us as we seek to understand the life of a disciple and the calling God has for each of us.

The culture today seems to be a me-first culture that looks to "get" rather than "give".  It's based on what I want, being authentic to meeting my needs and fulfilling my dreams. And ditching anything- job, spouse, relationship- that I deem gets in the way with that. Since we're a part of the culture we live in, how do we NOT bring that culture into the church?  How do we change from "getters" to...

Paul was able to face head-on the reality of how big, and weighty, and hard the road of faithfulness to the Lord and to his calling on his life was and he could confidently say, “I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able.” This Sunday we will learn one of Paul’s great secrets to this unswerving confidence. I hope to see you there!

Have you ever wished that you could have more courage to share your faith? Ever wished you could naturally bring up spiritual things in conversations? Have you ever had the perfect opportunity to speak up about Jesus, but instead you shrunk back in fear? Well, join the club. We all struggle with fear when it comes to sharing truth with the world around us. In our passage this Sunday, Paul begins t...

This week we begin a new book, II Timothy.  Paul is an old man in chains in prison, awaiting execution, and he pens a letter to Timothy, his beloved son in the faith. What does he write?  What are his topics?  What's important to pass on to Timothy?  Come this week to hear an overview of the important themes of this emotional letter of a father to a son.  Since we're starting a new book for the Ne...

With a New Year comes a sense of expectation and hope for a great year. Join us as we dig into Psalm 1 and discover the secret to a genuinely happy New Year!

Christ is the greatest gift given to mankind, a gift we remember and reflect on most during Christmas. One big question we must ask ourselves, though, is how do we respond to the Gift of Christ?

On Christmas Eve 2022, Pastor Ben explores the idea of the Peace that Christ offers.

Christ came to fulfill the covenants that God had made to his people long before: that He would set a Son of David upon his throne forever. The question we must ask ourselves it this: have we joined this Kingdom, or are we continuing to build our own?

This week, as we continue in our Promises of Advent series, we come to the promise of Immanuel, God with us. Join us as we rejoice over the promise that God is indeed with us!

We are continuing this week in our Advent series on the Promises of Christmas! This Sunday, we are looking at the promise from God to Joseph- the promise of a Son who will save his people from their sins. 

This week we're starting our Advent Series called The Promises of Christmas. The first one will focus on the Promise of Preparation from Luke 1:13-17. The question is, the preparation for what? Join us as we find out.

If you missed part one of THIS IS US last Sunday, you’ll want to go back and listen to it on our podcast, website, or Facebook. This Sunday we’ll unpack our values of Hospitality and Multiplication and learn what they mean for each one of us in our daily lives. Don’t miss this crucial series about the values that drive New King Church!

For the next two Sundays, we are going to be doing a deep dive into New King’s mission and values. We’ve seen God do incredible things in the past few years through our church, but he’s just getting started. Do you believe that? I hope you do, and I hope you’ll lock arms with us in this mission. These next two weeks call us to refocus on what the Lord has called us to go for together. Don’t miss i...

What does it mean to live life fully?  A google search of that question yields 100’s of lists, books, and websites.  A quick perusal of them shows a couple of things at the top of the lists.  The first is to “live true to yourself”- you make the rules, you set the standards and you please yourself first.  The second most common is to “live for the moment”- you concentrate on the present and have n...

We’re in the last part of 1 Timothy and the tone ramps up.  Paul exhorts Timothy “Oh Timothy, you’ve got to flee!  You’ve got to pursue!  You’ve got to fight!  You’ve got to take hold!”  Why all this action?  And where do we get the energy and perseverance to flee, to pursue, to fight, to take hold?  Paul tells Timothy that he has two great sources to draw from: God the creator and Jesus the faith...

In this sermon, Ben digs into 1 Timothy 6:1-10 and answers the question, "Who is the truly rich person in this life?"

How often do we make giving honor a part of our daily or even weekly lives? All too often we see leadership as something to constantly criticize and critique. In 1 Timothy 5:17-25, Paul encourages Timothy to give the elders of the church double honor. The calling to lead God’s church is a difficult one. Join us this Sunday as we consider what double honor even is and how we can show honor to those...

God’s family is known by our love for each other, and we love each other by honoring every person in our family, beginning with those who may feel least among us.  Few things are more COUNTER-CULTURAL than this. A church that cultivates honor for every member of the family will shine bright in our world today.

In our passage in 1 Timothy, Paul challenges this young pastor to pursue growth in his service to Christ so that “all may see [his] progress.” That admonition has been such a challenge to me personally as of late. I have wondered, “When others look at my life, can they see my progress?” This Sunday we will look at very practical ways that you and I can pursue growth in our spiritual lives, so that...
