NEW LIFE MAINE

New Year, new sermon series! Pastor Justin will be guiding us through the process of getting back to the original design of Christian life. Life with God was never meant to be driven by effort or performance, but by new life from above and what Jesus calls “normal”.

We may have Christmas day in the rearview mirror, but Pastor Justin is still searching for Jesus! The good news is that God pursues us before we ever consider pursuing Him.

You have a lot more in common with a lighthouse than you think!

Pastor Justin takes a trip down memory lane and talks about the Lite•Brite - and how each of us can be a light in the darkness.

We hear so often about how New England is the least religious area of the country. It would be easy to write it all off as bad soil. But God says it’s good, and ready - we just have to make sure we’re tending to our own hearts.

Make sure you're following the fire, and not listening to the discouraging voice behind you.

Continuing in our Fire Tending series, Pastor Justin takes us through the story of the paralyzed man who's friends ripped a hole in the roof to lower him down to Jesus. The question is, are you a roof ripper, or a ceiling keeper?

Special guest Pastor Mike Ware challenges us to assess our hunger level. Are we really hungry for more of Jesus, or are we content?

You can't expect a revival to go unopposed. The question is, when you encounter resistance, how will you respond?

Prepare for battle! Continuing in our series on Fire Tending, Pastor Trevor will be bringing us a word on how the name of Jesus is the sharpest point of the sword of the spirit.

The fire of revival was never meant to stay in the building. Unending worship in the sanctuary is great, but we are meant to take it out to the world.

Okay you may have noticed that we've been doing a lot of baptisms lately. 200 of them in the last month, actually! Pastor Justin thought it would be good to address the topic of baptism and answer the question "Why should I get baptized?"

We're seeing a real life revival breakout not only in New Life Church, but across the country right now. So what do we do with it? Pastor Justin presses pause on our "Jesus Is Asking..." series to lay out what Scripture has to say about times like these.

When a "woman of the city" crashes a party attended by Jesus and his disciples, everyone in the room responds differently than Jesus. The question is, where do you see yourself in this story?

When a woman is caught in adultery, she's brought before Jesus for condemnation. Jesus responds in a way that no one saw coming. Pastor Justin challenges all of us to act accordingly - with tough love, not condemnation.

Pastor Justin continues in his series "Jesus Is Asking..." with a difficult question. Jesus uses the parable of the wise and foolish builders to emphasize how important it is to give your faith a firm foundation.

In back to back encounters, Jesus asks the question, "What do you want me to do for you?". First to the sons of thunder, and then to a blind beggar. The respective responses couldn't have been more revealing.

When a storm hits while the disciples and Jesus are out on the water, they're in a panic. Jesus is asleep. When Jesus wakes and calms the storm, the disciples are presented with a question that seems almost insulting, but will cause them to look within.

Continuing in our series “Jesus Is Asking...” Pastor Justin will be speaking on the miracle by the pool - performed on a Sabbath, which was no small offense. It’s a brief encounter, but filled to the brim with commandments from Jesus that we can still follow today.

Pastor Justin returns from India with a brand new sermon series ready to go! We’ll be looking at the different instances of Jesus asking the questions, instead of the other way around. Because Jesus didn’t just tell the truth, He asked questions that made people face it.

Pastor Tom is back! We were so blessed to have our friend Tom bring the word as we wrap up our series on the Book of Colossians. We looked at the variety of times when the phrase "In Christ" was used throughout the book, and Pastor Tom called us to believe the Word, even when our earthly logic says not to.

Pastor Trevor is going to wrap up our series on Colossians and we will be talking about how it’s important to “stay awake” but also “walk the talk”

Fit check (part II)! Last week Pastor Justin talked to us about taking off what doesn’t fit us anymore. This week we’re talking about what to put on. Spoiler alert: it’s love.

“Decaf Christianity” is a version of faith that smells spiritual, looks religious, but is actually void of the power to change you. If your spirituality doesn’t start and end with Jesus, its decaffeinated.

Pastor Justin returns and we’re continuing in our series on Colossians. We’ll hear about why it’s so crucial to stay rooted in Jesus, and what traps to watch out for that may cause us to become pulled away.
