New Life Baptist: Arkansas

The purpose you pursue will determine the peace you possess. Don’t wait for “someday” to start living fully and following God faithfully. In the prime of life — enjoy His gifts, chase godly passions, and live with big faith. And in every season — remember your Creator and fear God with faith. Life is short—live fully for God now so you can finish well later!

It’s the little cracks that cause the big collapse. Ecclesiastes 10 says that’s how foolishness works—small leaks sink big ships. This message challenges us to: Guard your words. Watch your heart. Fix the little things before they wreck the big things. 💬  What’s one small change you could make today that would protect your character tomorrow?

This week we faced a hard but holy truth: death is coming for all of us—but it doesn’t have to cancel out our purpose. 💬 “You can’t control when you die, but you can let God change how you live.” Solomon reminds us that life is fragile, but hope is alive—today is the day to embrace life in Christ! Whether it’s finding joy in a meal, cherishing your marriage, or working with purpose, God invites u...

Life doesn’t always make sense. How do you trust God when life feels unfair and the world seems upside down? In this message, we looked at how Scripture calls us to honor authority even when it’s hard, and trust God's plan even when it’s hidden. Not because life is fair, but because God is faithful.

The Misery of More Ecclesiastes 5:10–20 | John Venable You can be surrounded by wealth and still be bankrupt in meaning. This message digs into two major truths from Ecclesiastes: The Trap of Chasing Pleasure The Gift of God-Given Gladness Solomon’s wisdom reminds us that possessions can’t fill the soul—and that real joy is a gift only God can give. Key Takeaway : Life that lasts isn't found i...

Worship isn’t about length or volume—it’s about posture. In “Worthy Worship” Ecclesiastes 5, Pastor John shows why reverence wins over routine and fear beats familiarity. Lower your heart; deepen your worship.

🔥 Ever felt like you’re one conversation away from a breakthrough—or a breakdown? Ecclesiastes 4 flips the script: two are better than one! 💥 • Find provision in partnership • Discover power in plurality Jesus endured isolation so we could always belong. 🙌 Who’s that person in your life who’s got your back? Tag them below and let’s celebrate community! 👇

A Mountain of Faith (Genesis 22:1–14) This Father’s Day message challenges men to lead with obedience, perseverance, and surrender—like Abraham, who climbed the mountain trusting God would provide. Faith doesn’t wait. It climbs.

Missed Sunday’s message? Catch  “God Works in Time”  (Ecclesiastes 3) now! See how God’s  RHYTHM  (vv. 1-10) and sovereign  REASON  (vv. 11-18) turn every earthly moment into eternal meaning. Remember:  If it isn’t GOOD, God isn’t DONE.

Are you chasing significance in the daily grind—only to feel empty when the next day comes? 🤔 This Sunday, we dove into our “Under the Sun” sermon series and confront the brutal honesty of life without God:

In “Freedom: Dying to Live,” John Venable digs into Romans 8:1–11 to expose why rules alone leave us empty—and how real freedom emerges when Jesus provides the blueprint and the Holy Spirit empowers us to live it. Tune in for a no-nonsense look at dying to self and living by Spirit-driven power.

Listen in on this week's message with Pastor John on Family Matters out of the book of Colossians!

In “Colossians: Opportunity Knocks,” Pastor John dives into Colossians 4:2–6 to challenge us on two fronts: Are we faithfully devoted to prayer, and are we cultivating the kind of wisdom that makes our conversations count? Too often we miss the open doors God places before us—this message will equip you to pray with persistence and speak with grace so you never let an opportunity slip by. Join us...

Spoiler alert: the most influential preacher your kids will ever hear is already living in their house—👀 you. We just dropped Sunday’s sermon with our special guest Dr. Richard Ross. He goes straight at the myth that church programs can disciple your children for you and lays out a field‑tested plan for parents to hard‑wire a lifetime faith. 🎥 Hit play and wrestle with questions like: Are my kid...

In Part 2 of our Colossians series—“Church Clothes” (Colossians 3:12–17)—we strip away the fluff and ask the tough questions: What does it really look like to clothe ourselves in compassion, kindness, humility, and patience? Join us as we dig into Paul’s challenge for the Colossian church—and for our church today—to put off old habits and put on a radically countercultural wardrobe of love. Ready...

Join us for this week's second part of our Easter series with Pastor John as we see the stone rolled away!

Part 1 of our Easter series walks through the sacred weight of Mark 15:33-39. In the final moments of Jesus’ life, heaven speaks through silence, and the veil is torn. Stand in awe of the cross—and let it speak.

🚨  NEW SERMON DROP  🚨 "Church Clothes" — Colossians 3:5–17 This one hits different. Paul’s not talking about what you’ve got hanging in your closet—he’s talking about what you’re wearing on your  life.  Are you putting on anger, pride, resentment? Or are you clothing yourself in compassion, kindness, humility, and love? This message challenges us to take off the stuff that doesn’t look...
