As a body, we are deeply committed to living in and under the transforming grace of God, knowing that He accepts us not by anything we have done, but by the pure gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. That grace is not static — it is living and active, having rescued us...

“You can run, but you can’t hide.” We’ve all heard that phrase before. In Joshua 10, five defeated kings discover just how true it is. They flee the battlefield and hide in a cave, hoping to escape judgment. Instead, the cave becomes a monument to their defeat. Centuries later, another tomb would tell a very...

“Sometimes the hardest battles aren’t the ones we choose—they’re the ones that come because we chose to do the right thing.” In Joshua 10, Israel finds itself under attack simply because it honored its word. Yet what follows is one of the most dramatic displays of God’s power in Scripture. Check out this week’s message...

It’s easy to keep your word when it’s convenient. It’s much harder when it costs you something. In Joshua 9:16–27, Israel discovers they have been deceived, yet they choose to honor their oath before the LORD, even though it is costly. Check out this week’s message as we learn what integrity looks like under pressure...

“Not every battle comes with a sword.” Sometimes the greatest danger to God’s people arrives with a handshake and a convincing story. Check out this week’s message as we continue our study of Joshua and discover how trusting our own wisdom rather than seeking God’s leaves us vulnerable to deception.

Most people are happy to receive advice. Advice is optional—we can take it or leave it. But authority is different. Authority confronts us. It demands surrender. And one of the greatest temptations in modern Christendom is to treat God’s Word like helpful advice instead of absolute authority. Joshua 8 confronts that mindset head-on and all...

We typically don’t like to talk about the wrath and judgment of God. After all, God is love! But we cannot have one without the other. God is not the sum of His parts. All that is in God IS God. We cannot truly appreciate His divine mercy without considering His divine wrath. Check out...

“The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.” – Psalm 37:23-24 Sin and failure can ruin us, but they do not define us. Check out this week’s message as we unpack how...

“The most exhausting thing in the world is not hard work — it’s keeping secrets.” In Joshua 7, a man named Achan learned the hard way that the God who brought down the walls of Jericho sees everything — including what’s hidden beneath the floor of your tent. Check out this week’s message as we...

This week in Joshua 7:1-15, we see that Israel’s greatest threat does not come from without but rather from within. Check out this week’s message as we consider the seriousness of sin, the holiness of God, and the sobering consequences of internal corruption among God’s people.

“Grace isn’t a reward for the worthy—it’s a rescue for the ruined.” As Jericho falls and judgment sweeps the city, one woman walks out alive. Not because she deserved it—but because God made a promise. Check out this week’s message as we continue our study in Joshua and discover how God keeps His word, saves...

“God told them to win a battle by walking, waiting, and worshiping—no swords, just trust.” It sounds foolish… until the walls fall. In Joshua 6:6–21, we’re reminded that God often works in ways we don’t expect, ways that call for faith. When life feels overwhelming, will we trust His Word or our own plans? Check...

This Easter, we celebrate the empty tomb that proves the grave could not hold Him. Check out this week’s message as we follow that promise from the cross, to the grave, to the empty tomb—and discover why you can stake your eternity on Jesus’ promise of eternal life.

“They wanted a crown—but He came for a cross.” On Palm Sunday, the crowd cheered for the wrong reasons—and honestly, we often do the same. We want Jesus to fix our problems, but He came to do something more important. Check out this week’s message as we follow the King to the middle cross and...

“God does not exist to make much of us—we exist to make much of Him.” That truth becomes unmistakably clear when Joshua encounters the Commander of the Lord’s army just outside the walls of Jericho. Before Israel ever marches, God confronts Joshua with a reality that reshapes everything: the issue is not whether God is...

A pastor once said, “God is more concerned with the condition of our hearts than the speed of our progress. In Joshua chapter 5, we see a powerful reminder that before God leads His people into victory, He first prepares them spiritually. Check out this week’s message as we discover why consecration always comes before...

In Joshua 4, God tells His people to stack stones as a reminder of His mighty power—not just for them but for the next generation. What God does for us and in us is never meant to stop with us. It is meant to echo long after we are gone. Check out this week’s message...

This Sunday, we’ll stand with Israel next to the Jordan River at flood stage and see how the Lord of all the earth goes before His people, making a way where there is none. Joshua 3 will encourage us to live by faith, trusting that the same sovereign God who parts rivers has already prepared...

Faith isn’t just something you feel – it’s something you stake your life on. Rahab doesn’t just believe in Israel’s God; she acts. She hides the spies. She negotiates mercy. She ties the cord. Check out this week’s message as we see how Joshua 2:15-24 shows us what courageous, costly faith looks like and invites...

What is saving faith? Is it a feeling? How does someone know if they have a saving faith? This week, we will look at Rahab (a very unlikely convert) who shows true saving faith and reminds us that no one is beyond the mercy of God in Christ Jesus. Check out this week’s message as...

In Joshua 1:1–9, God calls Joshua to lead the nation of Israel at a time marked by change, fear, and uncertainty—and He grounds that call in a promise: “I will be with you.” Join us as we see how God meets His people at moments of transition and reminds us that courage doesn’t come from...

“Every family has a story—and so does every church.” Let’s think about being a Christ-centered community of believers that value Love, Hospitality and Service. Check out this week’s message as we explore how God might want you to expand your involvement in the NewLife Church community.

“Every family has a story—and so does every church.”  Check out this week’s message, hear some of our story as we explore what it means to be a Christ-centered church, and be reminded of who we are—and who God is calling us to be. 

John 1:1–5 reminds us that before anything existed, the Word—Jesus—was already present, fully God, bringing life and light into the world. This is not just a story, but a true love story ~ one with good and evil, darkness and light. It is the story of our Creator demonstrating His love for us, stepping into...

It’s often said that “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” During Christmas, this idea feels especially true. We rush to do everything—decorating, entertaining, enjoying the lights, and shopping excessively. Amid the bills, decisions, and fears, we can’t quiet our hearts or our minds. Deep down, we yearn for genuine peace and...
