In multiple letters and by multiple people, including Jesus, we are warned to watch out for false apostles, teachers, and prophets. For they are servants of Satan meant to confuse, devour, and bind up the children of God. But how do we identify these wolves in sheep clothing, and how can we protect ourselves?

Often our reminders of the crucifixion narrative highlight Jesus’ physical pain. However he also endured a psychological burden of abuse that with close watch we can see that was significantly brutal. Pastor Robin looks at Matthew 27, and helps us see how Jesus’ true power was on display in the face of mockery, manipulation, and mistreatment. But not just power to show off - but power to save... W...

The impact of a father is difficult to overstate, whether positive or negative (or usually a combination of both.) My need for a Perfect Father started the day I was born; this is a need no earthly father could ever meet. If we allow Him, God will Father us with tenderness, disentangling the lies the bind us, and bringing us new peace, freedom, and joy. You can also watch this message on YouTube h...

When the first church erupted on the scene in Acts 2, it soon overwhelmed the apostles with the day to day administration. The result was the creation of a new and critical role within the church - the deacon. Pastor Ross explains what that role means within NLF as well as the a brief overview of the various staff and teams within the church. You can watch this message on YouTube here: https://you...

The gospel is meant to be simple. But as the serpent deceived Eve into believing a complicated gospel led her astray, our enemy attempts to do the same with us. This robs us of our joy, peace, hope, rest, and power that is found in the simplicity of Jesus.

We all want to see God's kingdom grow through evangelism, yet we often find it very hard to start a conversation. Pastor Ross breaks down some of the common questions that need an answer from everyone of us. Is there a God? Who is this God? Where do I stand with Him? And what should be my response to Him?

Faith is foundational to the life of a Christian. We are saved by grace through faith, and we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Understanding the obstacles to faith and what we can do to overcome those obstacles can help us to experience the abundant life as we walk with God. This week we have Shelagh Balfoort from @crosswaystolife sharing. For more information about Crossways to Life, please...

God is casting His eyes looking to and fro across the earth looking for someone that is committed to Him. This is a person whose heart is surrendered to God and His purposes. This describes the life of Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament. She endured a long time of unfulfilled dreams and much pain as a result. But she never lost her faith in God, and was rewarded with a p...

We all do it. We compare ourselves with others in order to determine if we are worthy of love and acceptance. But when we do it, not are we being foolish, but it only ends up hurting us. Instead, we need to learn to boast in who God has made us. When we boast is what He has done, we will live in freedom.

We live in a world filled with inauthenticity. Manipulated images, disinformation, false advertising, stories where the truth is twisted or parts hidden. Which creates a world of mistrust and people bluffing with one another. The answer is to live with integrity, where you live from the new heart that God has created within each of His children. This life leads to peace, confidence, and freedom of...

Psalm 20 is a national anthem. It is a song that is a prayer for the king for battle. It is a salute to our current King, Jesus' authority. It is a challenge to read that song as a believer under grace and living in today's political system where my feelings and rights are more important than anyone else's. Can Jesus' Kingship be trusted? Can we confidently pray that His desire's are fulfilled and...

Every relationship will at some point experience a time of messiness and conflict. But that conflict can be a time of growth and healing, if we learn how to fight fair. The Apostle Paul experienced a time of conflict with the church in Corinth, and we learn how Paul fought for - not against the Corinthians to earn their trust against the fortress of lies and shame from the Flesh.

The entire gospel hinges on the resurrection. It is the message of hope, freedom, and life that the church offers the world. The people of New Life share what the resurrection means for them today in this powerful Easter Sunday message.

The church has a lost history with struggling with understanding the separation of the New Covenant from the Old Covenant. And one of the areas where this happened the most is with the area of giving. By importing the Old Covenant idea of tithing into the New Covenant church, we are missing the heart behind giving and the opportunity to trust Jesus in how much, or how little, to give. You can watc...

Money. It is a sensitive topic for many to talk about, mostly because it is has an inflated role in our lives. And with that poor understanding of money, it is bound to control us - leaving us feeling empty and broke in our soul. In this message, Pastor Ross explores the topic of money in a broad sense with a rich discussion about finding contentment that pays. Please note, we had some audio probl...

We move from knowing about Jesus to knowing Jesus when we allow Jesus to meet our need. Allowing Jesus to meet our need, whatever it is, is an act of faith and God rewards faith! In 2 Peter 1, the apostle describes what it looks like to allow Jesus to meet our needs. The results will surprise you.

We all face temptation of various kinds. But it is the most difficult battles when we face temptation with an empty heart. Here, the voice of temptation attacks who we are and makes choices that we would otherwise find horrible, suddenly appealing. But there is an answer - Jesus Christ and His work on the cross. Pastor Ross uses the wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs 7 to help explain how we face tempt...

The apostle Peter was in the inner circle. He know what it was like to know Jesus. 2 Peter 1:2-4, Peter talks about how important it is for us to know Jesus personally - not solely know ‘about’ Him.

Depression is one of the most common struggles that humanity faces. Some have been shamed into thinking that it is the result of their sin, or a lack of faith, or that they just aren't trying hard enough. But God, He doesn't shame or condemn those who are struggling. Instead, God comforts the depressed. Discover what how God brings comfort and how He sometimes involves the church. You can watch th...

n relationships, sometimes we need to say some hard things. But the reason we speak up is from love and with love with the hope that it will lead to a Godly sorrow that leads to repentance, without condemnation. In 2 Corinthians chapter 7, we see how this played out between the Apostle Paul and the church in Corinth. You can watch this message on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/T_hIdvrfkdM Website:...

Under the New Covenant, God's still gives commands. These commands are not used to judge our acceptance, but they exist to keep us safe from harm. To ignore these commands is to say that you know better than God, which opens us up to harm. In 2 Corinthians chapter 6, Paul is giving a command regarding who we join ourselves to. The danger is we choose poorly and are drawn into the mess of the world...

One of the most popular phrases in the church today is "I'm just a sinner saved by grace." You find it on bumper stickers, in books, on clothing... It's so popular, and yet it's not Biblical, and therefore it's not true. Nowhere in the Bible does it refer to New Covenant believers as sinners saved by grace. Instead, we are saints - holy ones of God. You can watch this message on YouTube here: http...

What does true worship look like? Everyone has a different response but the big question is: Does God have a definition of what true worship looks like? The answer is 'yes' but we don't often consider what His definition looks like. Pastor Robin takes out the biblical building blocks to show us what is God's definition of true worship.

The Prosperity Gospel message does not accurately reflect the true gospel. The Christian Life is not a promise of health, wealth, and perpetual happiness. It will, at times, include suffering, which is not a bad thing. For love is proven through these times of suffering, and trust is formed. The Apostle Paul shares what he has endured for the sake of the Corinthians, in order that he might win the...
