In week 4 of our Hebrews series, Pastor Mike shows that Jesus is our Great High Priest who fully sympathizes with our weakness. He knows hunger, thirst, betrayal, rejection, grief, and temptation—yet without sin. Because of this, we can confidently approach the throne of grace for mercy and help in our time of need. Pastor Mike walks us through the role of the high priest and the temple—from the a...

Hebrews 4:12 calls the word of God living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. The Bible isn’t powerful if it remains closed—it comes alive when we engage with it and let it engage us. The logos (Jesus, the Word made flesh) and the rhema (the Spirit’s spoken word) cut to the core of who we are, exposing thoughts and intentions while shaping our lives. We’re reminded that the Word is not...

In this week’s message, “In This House” from Hebrews 3:4–6, Pastor Jarod teaches that Christ is the faithful Son over God’s house, and we are that house if we remain confident in Him. He reminds us that although we are imperfect, Jesus continues working in us because of His love. Together we declare bold convictions: in this house we believe there are no perfect people, the full gospel is alive, o...

In the first message of our new "Hebrews" series, "The Danger of the Drift", Pastor Jarod reminds us that in the past God spoke through the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son. Hebrews warns us to pay close attention so we don’t drift away, because drift is subtle—small deviations tolerated over time create massive detours. God gives us a choice in these last days: His...

In the message “What Do You See?” guest speaker John Vereecken unpacks the power of perspective—the inner lens that shapes how we live. Walking through five levels of perspective, he shows how shifting from “me” to a mature, others-focused outlook transforms life. Colossians 3:2 reminds us to look up and see things from Christ’s perspective: step out of your world, into someone else’s, feel what t...

Pastor Michael Stephens teaches on one of the most radical elements of the Christian life—prayer. Prayer is not about formulas or manipulation but about relationship with the Father who is merciful, powerful, and faithful. Jesus models withdrawing to pray, fully confident that His Father hears and answers. From that relationship, He declares, “Ask anything in my name, and it will be done.” Pastor...

Jesus said, “among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist, yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Too often, we give the highest playback to our lowest performance, but grace reminds us we are doing better than we think. Comparison starves joy and feeds insecurity, but Jesus compares our least to His greatest and still calls us...

In this message, "It’s Worth It", we see how Jesus’ words in Matthew 9:35–38 call His disciples into the harvest. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Just like in a job where the hardest tasks often lead to the greatest return, the work of the kingdom can be messy and difficult, but the return is always worth it. Jesus shows us that the reason workers are few often comes down to a k...

To live a radical life in Christ is to be rooted deeper than traditions, preferences, or surface experiences. When storms come, roots in Him make us unshakable, immovable, and unbreakable. That’s why we make the church we go to the church we belong to, the church we serve, and the church we give through. We plant ourselves where God is moving and invest our heart, hands, and resources in His Kingd...

Pastor Mike Cole kicks off our new series Radical Life: Love, Serve, and Live Like Never Before by unpacking the journey of Moses—a man who doesn’t feel ready, but God calls anyway. Step by step, God equips him through signs, support, and trust-building moments. The message is clear: you don’t need to have it all figured out to say yes to God. From Moses to today, living a radical life means trust...

Guest speaker Garrett Prechtl shares a powerful message about Jesus as our Healer. Healing can happen through miracles, medicine, or even unexpected methods—but it always happens in His hands. Don’t let bitterness block your view. What matters most isn’t how God heals—it’s that He still does, and He still gets the glory. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connec...

This message unpacks what it means to “bear arms” in the Spirit and how to demolish strongholds—false beliefs that take root in the mind and quietly erode our faith. Using powerful examples from Scripture and everyday life, we’re reminded that some battles must be fought beneath the surface. Before we overcome what’s out there, we have to confront what’s in here. Don’t fall back—hold the line. You...

In a message titled Freedom of Speech, Pastor Jarod explores the biblical weight of our words in a culture that celebrates saying whatever we want. While the First Amendment protects free expression in the natural, Scripture reveals that spiritual speech carries binding and loosing power—shaping destinies, relationships, and even eternal outcomes. Drawing from James, Proverbs, and the words of Jes...

For Student Takeover Sunday, Pastor Josh breaks down the creation narrative and some student camp experiences to reveal God's heart for rhythms of rest in our lives. The Bible reveals that time is a gift from God to be stewarded, although our busy lives sometimes lead to a stewardship problem with time. We need to return to God's drawing board by studying Genesis 1 and the life of Jesus to redisco...

Teaching Pastor Michael Stephens continues our Freedom series by looking at how Jesus dismantled a religious spirit that prioritized performance over relationship. Walking through stories in the Gospels, we see how cultural traditions had distorted God’s intent—turning rest into burden and obedience into competition. Jesus didn’t abolish the law; He taught and lived it rightly, revealing the heart...

In this message, Pastor Jarod uses the image of message settings to reveal how the messages we choose to accept give more access to the messenger. Based on 2 Corinthians 12:7–9, we see that Paul was harassed by a messenger of Satan, but instead of hiding it, he chose to boast in his weakness so the power of Christ could rest on him. Paul never played the victim—he stood under grace, not under the...

In this message, Pastor Jarod uses the picture of yard work to show how cutting back, growing up, and walking in freedom requires effort—but it’s worth the work. Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23, we learn that God is the one who sanctifies us, but He can only sanctify what we surrender. Through four practical steps—Yielding, Alignment, Renewal, and Discipline—we discover how spiritual growth happens...

In Don’t Quit at “I Do”, Pastor Jarod takes us from the tragic fallout between Cain and God to the fiery outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. With powerful illustrations, cultural backstory, and scriptural depth, this message confronts a sobering truth: it’s possible to do spiritual things—sing, serve, give—without ever truly listening to God. Just like Cain, we can go through the motions w...

From the series on Freedom: Stop Betting On Blame is a powerful, personal, and practical message from Pastor Jarod Smith, digging deep into Genesis 3 and the first moment blame ever entered the human experience. With humor, vulnerability, and biblical insight, Pastor Jarod shares a real-life story from his early marriage—and connects it to Adam’s response in the garden: “The woman YOU gave me…” In...

Are you hiding behind a version of faith that looks good on the outside but conceals fear, shame, and distance from God? In this compelling message, Pastor Jarod Smith takes us back to Genesis 3 to expose the first "cover-up" in human history—when Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves to hide their shame. Through biblical insight, personal stories, and spiritual revelation, we uncover what fig leaf faith...

In this series on Freedom, Pastor Jarod shares a message about the Tree of Life. Drawing from Genesis 2, he explores why God placed two trees in the middle of the garden and how true love requires the freedom to choose. The message highlights that God’s commands are not about control but relationship—and that real freedom is found not in autonomy, but in walking with God. Through the stories of Ad...

God's Heart for Your Home | Michael Stephens, Teaching Pastor Pastor Michael's message, “God’s Heart For Your Home" is all about what God wants for your family and His design for spiritual leadership in the home. In a culture that often challenges biblical roles, we return to the truth of God’s Word to understand what it means for men to lead like Jesus, for women to walk in unity, and for childre...

God's Resume | Mike Cole, Executive Pastor What if God had a resume? This message explores how God introduces Himself to Moses as “I AM,” showing us that He doesn’t need to be defined by accomplishments — He just is. His presence spans all of existence: He is the Father above us, the Son who walks beside us, and the Spirit who lives within us. God’s objective has always been the same — to be in re...

Receive the Holy Spirit | Jarod Smith, Lead Pastor In John 20, the resurrected Jesus breathes on His disciples and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” This sacred moment mirrors the Genesis account of God breathing life into Adam, symbolizing the disciples' spiritual rebirth—regeneration through the Holy Spirit. Jesus then immediately commissions them—not with power displays or signs—but with the div...

What Happened In The Garden | Jarod Smith, Lead Pastor When Peter stepped into the tomb, he didn’t find chaos—he found order. The face cloth was folded and set apart, like a quiet declaration from Jesus: “I’m not done. I’m coming back.” It wasn’t just a burial detail—it was a priestly statement. Just like the High Priest left his garments behind when the work was finished, Jesus left behind the li...
