New Life Church Sermon Podcast

Mark 2:23-28 Danny Moore Thank you. Thank you, Drew, very much. Thank you all for that warm welcome. We'll see if when I'm done you feel the same. But I'm happy to be up here with you, mostly happy to be up here with you. This is not my usual thing, but it is an exciting opportunity. So here's what I'd like you to do for me today. I need you to think of your perfect place. All right? You're going...

Have you ever carried something that wasn’t that heavy, but then you’ve been carrying it so long that all of a sudden, it feels super heavy?   For me, this happened when our daughter was born. Emmy came three weeks early, and she was 5 pounds, 15 ounces when she was born.   [SLIDE 2] She was the littlest thing I had ever seen. I was a little worried to hold her, because she was s...

Mark 1:40 -45 Pastor Erik Anderson

Mark 1:29 -39 Morgan Folgers   Mark 1, verses 29 to 39. As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to wait on them. That evening, after sunset,
 the the people brought...

Mark 1:14-28 Pastor Drew Williams   What comes to mind when I say “good news!”??? For my daughter, Emmy, she thinks there is candy somewhere in the house, or it means that one of her friends is coming over to play.   For someone awaiting a call from the doctor, it means that the test came back clear, and they can release the burden of stress and anxiety.   [SLIDE 2] (low...

Matthew 6:19-21, 24 Pastor Drew Williams Have you ever felt like you didn’t have enough money to take care of all the things you’re responsible for? Earlier this week, I was speaking with a friend from CA, and the topic turned to some financial stress they were having. Both he and his wife had gotten new jobs recently, but they were no longer able to afford the private school their kids had been g...

Acts 20:32-36 Pastor Erik Anderson Acts chapter 20. I believe it is page 108, 103. Someone there, someone holler it out when you have it. 108, we're gonna be on page 108, Acts chapter 20, verse 32. And this is what the scripture reads.
 And And now I commend you to God and to the message of His grace, a message that is able to build you up and give you the inheritance among all who are sanctified....

Luke 12:13-21 Pastor Drew Williams Last week, I was speaking with someone after church about how they were thinking about their finances, especially since their situation has recently changed. And the questions they were asking were all about how to ensure that they weren’t falling behind in their goals and in the ways they wanted to be a part of God’s mission. And I loved that conversation, becau...

Ecclesiastes 5:10; Proverbs 21:20 Pastor Drew Williams   When Megan and I were planning on getting married, we talked about money a lot, because we didn’t really have any. And our parents didn’t really have any money, either, so we knew that we were saving up to pay for our own wedding. Now, we still wanted a big party, and we still wanted it to be a memorable event for us and all our gue...

Matthew 9:9-13 Pastor Erik Anderson

Mark 6:1-6 Pastor Drew Williams Have you ever been heckled before? Usually, when I think of hecklers, I think of rowdy people who try and distract everyone at a comedy show, pulling attention away from the performer on the stage. Or it’s someone yelling “boo” from the back of an auditorium when someone is about to start a song or begin to speak. Can you imagine how awful it would feel to have some...

Was Jesus an Alcoholic? Luke 7:33-34 Drew Williams

Matthew 12:9-14 Erik Anderson

John 20:1-18 Pastor Drew Williams There was an interview I saw recently with an interrogation specialist from the FBI who said that when we look at another human, we don’t really SEE them fully. Instead, we are “reading” their face for a few quick clues, like hair color, skin color, and a general sense of their gender and age. This is why when you’ve just met someone and only spoken to them for a...

Luke 19:29-48 Pastor Drew Williams Many children grew up singing the words, “You put your right hand in, you take your right hand out, you do the hokey-pokey, and you turn yourself about.” It’s a silly song to help teach kids autonomy of their limbs, and to learn right from left. It’s a silly song, but it’s also a pretty good description of how many of us live our lives. We step into something new...

Pastor Erik Anderson speaks from Luke 4:16-30 on topics of nationality and heritage.

Matthew 12:46-50 Pastor Drew Williams

Matthew 19:16-26 Pastor Drew Williams His name was Thomas, and he lived alone. Every day, he would wake up, go to work at his huge company, complete his tasks, socialize with his coworkers about things like the weather and the stock market, and then come home. When he got home, he would spend endless hours searching the internet for something…something that felt real. Something that seemed like it...

Pastor Erik Anderson looks to Luke 12:13 -34 and how it relates to security.

Matthew 20:20-28 Pastor Drew Williams Did you know what the worst thing is that you can give to two brothers? A single candy bar. Let me tell you why. I have one brother who is younger than me by 3.5 years. Now, it doesn’t seem like a big difference, but when we were much younger? It was a huge difference! I was bigger than him, stronger than him, more outspoken than him, just as stubborn as him,...

Pastor Erik and Pastor Drew talk about spiritual habits and why every follower of Jesus needs habits in their lives to help them be formed in the way of Jesus.

Colossians 3:12-17 Pastor Erik Anderson

Exodus 20:8-11 Pastor Drew Williams Have you ever walked into a space that FELT special? You walk in, and it’s set up in a way that just takes your breath away and makes you take notice. You know that something is different about this area. You can’t just continue with your chaotic stress and loud thoughts, because this space is ushering you in to a different experience. I don’t know what came to...
