New Life Fellowship Podcast

In The Book of Malachi, The Hebrews wondered if God loved them based on what they saw going on around them? They were looking for life on the outside. Sometimes new Covenant believers get stuck doing the same thing—even though what we have in Christ is far better than what those under the Old Covenant experienced. A deeper look at how Christ's Life in us will help us rest in the fact that the life...

What would it mean to you if someone took a deep interest in you. If you were fully known, inside and out, and loved even more as a result. That is what the Apostle Paul is describing in what has been called the treasure chest of the New Testament. Join Pastor Ross as he explores Ephesians 1:3-6 and discover what happens when God sees you.

"Exploring a life of shame, a really crappy week, and a moment of pure grace" This week, many difficult and painful memories bubbled to the surface of my mind. It was like Father invited me to walk with Him from one difficult moment in my history into another… He showed me that the damage I’d suffered cut down into my beliefs about ME. True to His nature as a good, good Father, God stepped into ea...

Saints with Everything - Ephesians 1:1-3 by New Life Fellowship

Sin. What is it? What do we do when we've sinned? And, just as important, what is God's response when we sin? It's an uncomfortable topic for many of us...but does it need to be? What if God's response to when we mess up isn't what we think it is? If we respond to sin how God wants us to, could it lead us to truly experience Life?

In the opening verses in the letter to the Ephesians, Paul reminds his readers the importance and necessity of grace and peace. In this first message in a new series on the book of Ephesians, Ross explores the nature of grace and peace and why we need to experience both in each moment of each day.

Rejection is something that we all have faced. It as almost as though God is not afriad of us experiencing rejection. In this talk, we learn how rejection only affirms the truth that the unconditional acceptance we are looking for is only found in Jesus.

Jesus teaches us that unless we abide in Him, we are unable to accomplish anything. Then what does it mean to abide and more importantly, how do we do it? Abiding is not some form of mystical enlightenment that we must achieve. Nor is it trying to live like Jesus by copying His behaviour. In John 15:4-5, Jesus makes it plain to us as He uses a very simple illustration to explain what it means to a...

Those who struggle with fear will recognize this progression: a seed thought drops into your mind, and a paint by numbers image expands in your imagination. Your brain fills in the picture with colour and grit and before you know it, you’re frozen in place. Fear leaps from the periphery into the forefront; your chest tightens and your pulse begins to race. In the face of such crippling emotion, ca...

Making Room for the Holy Spirit by New Life Fellowship

Ever since the Fall, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and shame entered into our world, men and women have been struggling to overcome that shame, trying to prove that sense of value and worth. It is not wrong that we need to answer those questions. The real issue is how do we answer these questions? Ross explains what love and acceptance that is by faith, apart from works means. DISCLAIMER: The au...

Everyone suffers loss in a myriad of ways. Matthew 5:4 says : Blessed are those who mourn; for they will be comforted. A closer look at the verse in the context of the new covenant reveals a deeper understanding of what it means to be 'blessed in the midst of grieving'.

Understanding your enemy and how they attack is critical to achieving victory. Ross walks us through Galatians 5:16-18 to help us understand that the battle is not a battle against our old sinful nature. The old self was crucified with Christ. The battle is with the flesh – which is in you, but not you. It is not even a battle that you are meant to overcome on your own. It is Jesus that provides v...

On Easter Sunday we celebrate the victory of Jesus Christ on the cross. Ross takes us through Romans 5:6-8 where we see that it was while we were in bondage to sin, death and shame – helpless to free ourselves – that Jesus gave His life. It was more than just an act of love, it was an act of strength motivated by His love, as Jesus became our champion over sin and death.

For too long Christian’s have held the belief that their sanctification was all up to them. But as 1 Thessalonians 5:23 tells us, it’s God’s work to sanctify us—and He’s faithful to do it. When we discover this truth, the real transformation can begin. For this week’s message, Ross uses an analogy of an apartment to illustrate what that looks like.

The Authority of Jesus by New Life Fellowship

We were designed for life in Eden, but this world sure isn't it. All of us experience things we were never designed to experience. We carry weight we weren't designed to carry. To us, Jesus says "Come to me, and I will give you rest. Living life through and with me can be easy—pleasant even. I want to show you what I'm really like. I want to show you what's true about you. Then, you'll realize you...

There has been much confusion and bondage around the topic of money in the church. “How much is a person supposed to give?” “Am I robbing God if I don’t give Him my tithe?” In this message, Pastor Ross discusses the difference between tithing and giving. How one belongs to the Old Covenant and the other to the New, and how Father is much more interested in your heart than He is in your wallet.

Our battle is not with flesh and blood and so our weapons are not of this world. Instead, our greatest weapon is to call out to God. It is prayer. This Sunday join us as Pastor Ross discusses prayer and why "calling on God" is so powerful. We'll see you then!

God's never ending, perfect love towards us is how He earns our trust. It is a trust that He hopes will bring about an invitation on our part for Him to bring healing and redemption to our souls.

This week, Pastor Ross shares what a true community of grace can be. What does it look like? How do we put it in to practice? Hear from Ross's heart about what his hope is for New Life Fellowship and the experience of community we can foster.

This week, Greg Ballard teaches on Romans 5:17 - what it means to 'Reign in Life' and what that looks like for all of us.

What you believe about the Cross and what happened there 2,000 years ago, will determine how you live today. As we continue where we left off, Pastor Ross reveals why it's so important to understand this connection.

This week we start a two-part series on “The Wisdom of the Cross”. Ross shares how Jesus’ finished work on the cross was so much greater than covering our sins as an atoning sacrifice. Listen and find out just how incredible this truth is.

Grace is something we are going to unpack a lot at New Life. This week, Ross explains how grace answers so many of our deepest questions, desires and needs. Original sermon given Sunday, January 27, 2019
