New Life Church Sermons

The miracle of peace is that God stepped into our world to drive fear out of our hearts with His presence. In Luke 2:1–14, the angels announce peace to terrified shepherds, reminding us that God meets ordinary, anxious people with extraordinary grace. Because Jesus has come near, we don’t have to be ruled by what makes us afraid and we don’t have to be overwhelmed by what we can’t control. God’s p...

The most important question any of us will ever answer is: who is Jesus Christ? The Christmas miracle of the Savior is that Jesus is eternally God who has always existed and through whom everything was made. His close friend and disciple, John, tells us that Jesus enters our world as light and life, bringing hope into places that feel dark and empty. Even though many people overlook and reject Him...

God’s Word has always been the one thing that changes everything, and we see that all through the Christmas story. When the angel speaks to Mary in Luke 1, her entire future is reshaped by a single message from God. In Luke 2, that same good news reaches shepherds and shows us that the arrival of the Messiah is meant for ordinary, overlooked people. Hebrews 1 pulls it all together by showing that...

This week we’re looking at The Miracle of the Moment from Galatians 4. Jesus didn’t arrive early or late; He came at the perfect moment in history, when the world was united by a common language, connected by Roman roads, the empire was calm (Pax Romana), and a hunger for spiritual truth was at a feverish pitch. God’s timing wasn’t accidental but intentional and redemptive. In the same way, God st...

When we think of Christmas, our minds go to a manger in Bethlehem, but the Christmas story actually begins much earlier, in the ashes of paradise lost. In Genesis 3, sin enters the world, and everything God made good is fractured. Humanity’s rebellion brings deep pain, both in creation and in our relationship with God. Yet even in the middle of the pain, God’s grace breaks through in the form of a...

What do the Apollo 13 space mission, Goldilocks and the three bears, and astronomy tell us about the existence of God? Does science disprove core elements of Christianity? Former physics teacher and current full-time Christian apologist Tim Barnett will be our special guest to walk us through one of the greatest discoveries of modern physics and astronomy – the fine-tuning of the universe. 

Jesus doesn’t just send us on mission​ – He goes with us on mission. In Matthew 28, Jesus promises His followers that He will be with them always, to the very end of the age . That means we never go alone, whether we’re facing hardship, uncertainty, or cultural opposition. His Spirit is our ever-present helper​ – guiding, empowering, and sustaining us as we make disciples and live out our faith​ i...

In the Great Commission, Jesus’ last words to His disciples before He ascended, He makes clear the nature of the task. Far from being a new thought, Jesus’ call to make disciples of all nations was firmly rooted in the Old Testament Scriptures, and is just as relevant to us in 2025. There is an extraordinary amount of work to be done to finish the mission, but we can see God working in extraordina...

In the Great Commission, Jesus declares that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. Before sending His followers to make disciples, He establishes His absolute kingship—He is not only Savior, but King over all creation. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus demonstrates this authority through His teaching, His command over nature and the spiritual realm, and His victory over sin and d...

This week we focus on what it means to become like Jesus. Paul reminds us in Romans 12 that transformation comes as we offer our lives fully to God and allow our minds to be renewed by His Spirit. Becoming like Jesus is not just about gaining head knowledge, expecting instant change, or striving alone - it’s a lifelong process of surrender and formation within the community of God’s people. We gro...

This week we look at what it means to belong to the family of God. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul reminds us that the church is like a body - many different parts, each with a unique role, but all connected and dependent on one another. Belonging to Christ means we are never alone; we are placed into a community where our presence and participation matter. Together, we grow more like Jesus as we worshi...

This week we explore the foundation of the Christian life: believing in Jesus and learning to be with Him daily. Faith begins with trusting Jesus as our Savior and Lord, but it grows as we spend time in His presence through prayer, Scripture, and other ancient spiritual practices. Belief is not less than intellectual ascent, but it’s always more. Believing in Jesus means trusting in Him and learni...

The last section of this letter reminds us that the Christian life is lived in the middle of a spiritual battle. Paul makes it clear that we have a real enemy who schemes against God’s people and seeks to steal, kill and destroy everything good and godly in our lives. But we are not left defenseless; God has given us spiritual armor so that we can stand firm in His strength. Each piece of armor po...

Ephesians 6:1–9 reminds us that the gospel shapes every relationship in our lives, starting at home and extending into our work. Paul calls children to obey and honor their parents, which brings blessing and reflects trust in God’s good design. Parents, in turn, are commanded not to provoke or discourage their kids, but to lovingly guide them toward Christ and nurture faith in their hearts. The pa...

This section of Ephesians offers a profound picture of how marriage reflects the gospel. Paul calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church: intentionally, sacrificially, and relentlessly. Wives are called to follow their husbands’ loving leadership with respect and trust, as the Church follows Christ. This passage isn’t about power or control, but about gospel-shaped roles that re...

This section of Ephesians calls believers to live distinctively as followers of Christ by walking in love, light, and wisdom. We're urged to imitate God by loving others sacrificially, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us. As children of light, we are to reject the darkness of sin and instead live lives marked by truth, righteousness, and goodness. Walking in wisdom means living...

Moses encounters God who reveals himself as the I AM. In this passage we will learn who God is and how he works for his people and ultimately see how God accomplishes his perfect work for us in Christ

In this passage, Paul urges believers to stop living like those separated from God, with darkened minds and hardened hearts. Instead, we are called to put off our old, sinful behaviors and put on a new way of life that reflects Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf. He emphasizes five distinct ways we must do this: speaking truthfully instead of lying, putting off anger, working hard instead of stealin...
