New Life Ministries Sermon Podcast

Even though we know who God is, we get so busy and stressed we can forget who we're talking to. It's important to settle and be still before our Creator... it's good for our soul as well. Let's look at a rather blunt Chapter 5 of Ecclesiastes!

As we’ve been studying Ecclesiastes, we’ve seen the emptiness of trying to gain more than life offers. If we ignore this lesson and decide to get all that we can out of life... what happens?  What’s the cost?  Let’s ponder what Ecclesiastes chapter 4 says with Curtis.

This is the part of our Ecclesiastes journey where things take a hopeful turn, and aspects of life are being appreciated in their place and time. Let's read this beautiful poetry with Curtis!

Do you or someone you know always seem to look at the glass half empty instead of half full? So many parts of life feel unimportant and meaningless, and nothing ever feels like it quite fills up that void. This is where our authors of Ecclesiastes meets us. He reminds us that this lack can stem from a place of not being filled with the right things and not having our hearts set on the spirit that...

Have you noticed how our world values the rich, famous, powerful, and successful? There's a feeling that these are the positions that would make our lives become our dream lives and solve our problems.

Like as soon as you got that thing you thought would fix it all you now feel that it wasn't everything you thought it would be. This is exactly what the start of Ecclesiastes takes us through. Let's join Curtis as we start this journe...

Do you have a memory that stings a little? Something you once did that, although you have been forgiven and the event is over, when you bring it to mind it makes you cringe? “I can’t believe I did that.” Jesus forgives us, but at times he also leans into those moments to release us from their grip. Jesus wants us to be wholeheartedly free to love and serve him. In today’s passage, we see Jesus doi...

Welcome to the new life ministries podcast. The following meditation was given as part of our Good Friday service. Let’s join the service already in progress..

Welcome to the New Life Ministries Podcast. In the discussion after the message people talked a lot about the donkey and what it meant for Jesus to enter into Jerusalem on a donkey instead of a war horse. The author John wants us to know that Jesus is a king, a divine sovereign, or the God king. The donkey lets us know how Jesus approaches his kingship. Let’s join Curtis as we seek to gain a new v...
