New Life Baptist Church

This week we started our new series through the letters of John called, "Walk this Way." On Sunday, we will covered 1 John 1:1-4 in a sermon called, "The Joy of Fellowship." Because of our sin, we are alienated from God and each...

This Sunday we had the pleasure of commissioning one short-term team and two families to the mission field. This sermon goes through the relationship Paul had with the church in Philipi. From this text we see what it means to be a faithful goer and...

In this final chapter, Paul is driving home the point that if we have been saved by the grace of God, we must lead different lives - ones that are clearly marked by devotion to good works - especially so that the lost see them and come to faith in...

Paul has been connecting belief and behavior all throughout his letter to Titus, and that theme continues in this chapter. He will help Titus understand that the grace of God transforms us to be men, women, pastors, and servants whose lives accurately...

This week we contrasted the faithful pastors we learned about last week with the false teachers, who are upsetting families with their false teaching on circumcision and other "Jewish myths." Because of all the damage they were causing...

In this passage, Paul is going to instruct Titus to finish what he left undone, namely appointing elders in every town. Then Paul will go on to help Titus understand who is qualified to serve as an elder, focusing primarily on character, and...

This week we continued our Pastoral Epistles series with the last book in the series, Titus. Paul sees himself as God’s servant and the servant of the church, so he is determined to spend his life serving both God and his people. We struggle to live...

There is hope for the hopeless.

We read Paul's final words to Timothy (and likely his final written words), where he begs him to come to him soon. Paul knows he doesn't have much time left, he's lonely, and he's cold - but he wants to continue his ministry from...

In the face of false teaching that continually assaults the Church, Paul reminds us of whom our Justification rests upon. While the Judaizers would attempt to add to Christ's perfect work upon the Cross, Paul encourages the Church at Philippi to...

Paul is wrapping up his final letter to Timothy - in fact, his final letter that we know of - and wants to impress upon him the necessity of a faithful life and ministry. As Christians, our motivation for proclaiming the Gospel is not only the great...

In this passage, Paul will call Timothy to live a very different life than the false teachers who opposed the truth and created problems for people who wanted to live faithfully. Following Jesus in a broken world is very hard. For us to do it, we...

We were created to love God and others, but our sinful nature leads us to love ourselves more than God or our neighbor. Moreover, it sets us against what God has revealed to be true. We learned that misplaced love results in opposition to the truth.

Paul will warn Timothy about those who argue over words and teach error, rather than rightly handling the Word of truth. Our desire is to faithfully serve God and others. We do that when we refuse to participate in unprofitable debate, and instead...

Paul knew it would be hard for Timothy to continue the work of discipleship, especially since he was unlikely to see him again. He knew he would need something firm to stand on - and nothing is firmer than the promises of God. Similarly, we need...

The only avenue to true sonship is the one that the prodigal takes: repentance and faith. If we rely upon our own righteousness, we cut ourselves off from the family of God.

We all long for answers and solutions to our deepest problems. The sad reality is that we consistently look to human government - politicians, political parties, and policies - to solve the problems that cannot be solved in those ways. We cannot...

This week we'll be covering 1 Timothy 6:17-21 in a sermon called, "Store Up Treasure in Heaven." It is our final sermon in 1 Timothy before we turn our attention to Christmas for the next two weeks. At the end of the letter, Paul...

Last week, Beau preached on the previous 10 verses where Paul called out the false teachers, who loved quarreling and monetary gain. We learned how true teaching leads to godly contentment. This week, we'll be reminded that Christianity is not...

This week we learned that sound teaching from Scripture that leads to godliness and contentment is in stark contrast to false teaching for sordid gain that leads to ruin and destruction.

Last week, we saw that we were called to minister to and receive ministry from every stage of life, and learned that in the church family, every member is a minister. On Sunday, we'll be focusing on authority in the church and the marketplace...

This week we're covering 1 Timothy 5:1-16 in a message called, "Every Member a Minister." The vast majority of the passage deals with widows - which ones qualify for assistance from the church, and which ones qualify to serve in an...

This week's sermon is called, "Devoted to the Word" and covers 1 Timothy 4:11-16. This is a fairly well-known passage because of Paul's instruction to Timothy not to let anyone look down on him because he is young. The sermon is a...
