The New Life Community Church Podcast

New year, new chapter, new moves. In this message, we explore what it looks like to trust God instead of leaning on our own understanding and how prayer, the Bible, and fasting help us walk the straight path He’s drawn. God has made His move…now it’s Your Move.

Why would God include the Magi in the Bible when we know so little about them? In this Epiphany message, we wrestle honestly with Matthew 2 and uncover timeless truths about seeking Jesus, true worship, and how encountering Christ changes our direction.

In this final sermon of 2025, Pastor Alex explores how fear, resentment, old patterns, and the need for control weigh us down—and how God invites us to lay them aside. Learn what to carry into the new year instead: truth, trust, and daily steps of faith, guided by His presence every step of the way.

From the innkeeper to Herod to the religious leaders, this message challenges us to stop overlooking Christ at Christmas and invites us to see Jesus clearly in the middle of the season’s noise, traditions, and familiarity.

A heartfelt message on grief, hope, and the joy of Jesus. Drawing from John 11 and personal stories of loss, Pastor Alex shows how we can grieve properly while holding onto God’s promises. From the Shepherd’s Candle to communion, discover that heaven is closer than it seems, tears won’t last forever, and infinite joy is accessible—even in the midst of sorrow.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace and brings calm to our hearts in the chaos of life. Using Isaiah’s prophecy and Simeon’s story in Luke 2, we explore how to receive His peace today, live in hope of His return, and share that peace with others.

From Eden’s first prophecy to Jesus our Rescuer, God meets us in shame and hiding with mercy for today and certainty for tomorrow. If you’re waiting in the dark, hear this: God is faithful—even when He feels slow, He’s never late.  We have a reason to hope and His name is Jesus.

God cares more about your heart than anything else, and how the way you manage your time, talent, and treasure shapes the course of your life. From modernizing the parable of the talents to a Monopoly illustration, we discover that everything we have belongs to God—and faithful stewardship is our calling.   Recorded: Sunday, November 23, 2025

What if everything in your life could become a heavenly treasure? This episode explores how money, time, talents—even struggles—can be surrendered to God’s purposes and transformed into eternal impact.

Our hearts follow what we treasure. This message uncovers why earthly treasures are fragile, heavenly treasures are actionable, and how we can re-engineer our priorities to invest in what truly lasts—our relationship with God, the forgiveness of sins, and the lives of others.

What if the treasure you’ve been chasing all your life isn’t what really matters? In this kickoff episode of Treasures in Heaven, Pastor Alex uses treasure maps, Hollywood adventures, and Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 to show us where true treasure is found. Discover how to follow God’s map to forgiveness, new life, and a heart that finally finds what it’s been searching for.

Fear might move the air, but faith decides the direction. In the storms of life, it’s easy to get stuck, paralyzed by worry or uncertainty. Learn how to recognize the “red flags” of fear, step out of the boat, and trust God’s presence to guide you through every wave.

Fear is universal—but God’s Word is clear: Do Not Fear. Why does fear show up in every stage of life?  What does it reveals about our trust in God?  How can His love drive fear out?  Using the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, we discover how God’s presence gives courage, peace, and hope—even in life's fiercest "fires."

Work isn’t just what you do—it’s how you worship. Learn how faith is trust in action and two spiritual practices—tithing and Sabbath—to help you trust God with money, control, and your work. Learn how to bring your faith into your Monday and find freedom, purpose, and peace.

Work isn’t just a paycheck — it’s a calling and an act of worship. But too often, we think worship is just between us and God. The story of the Good Samaritan shows us how worship should flow into how we love and serve the people around us.  Learn why we sometimes “stay on our donkey” and how to let your faith overflow into action, making your work truly honor God.

Work can be worship—but only if your heart stays aligned with God. In this message, we explore why work often feels frustrating, survival-driven, and disconnected from God, and we uncover four “worship killers” that sneak into the workplace: comparison, selfish ambition, drifting or drowning, and fear or anxiety.

We spend nearly a third of our adult lives working—yet most of us never stop to ask, does my work really matter to God?  In this kickoff to our new series Good Work, we unpack a biblical theology of work, showing us that work isn’t a curse but a calling.

In this final message of our series "Ordinary People, Extraordinary God", we unpack the feeding of the 5,000 from John 6. Discover how one boy’s ordinary lunch reveals the pattern of God’s extraordinary work when we trust Him.

Feeling ordinary? You’re not alone. In this message, we unpack the story of Lydia in Acts 16 to show how God turns the ordinary into extraordinary the moment we choose to live with an open heart, home, and life.

Obadiah was an ordinary man working in a corrupt palace, yet he chose faithfulness and obedience.  His quiet courage paved the way for God’s extraordinary work.  Learn how your everyday life can make an extraordinary impact.

This message dives into the life of Joseph—better known as Barnabas, the “Son of Encouragement.” From selling his land to support the early church, to believing the best about Paul, and giving John Mark a second chance, Barnabas shows us what it looks like to encourage, invest in, and restore others.

In this message, we look at the story of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. In a time of famine, wandering, and heartbreak, God was quietly at work writing a redemption story that points us to Jesus. Discover how our Extraordinary God redeems ordinary people out of loss, bitterness, and brokenness—and how His grace is always greater than our wandering.

In the kickoff message of our new series, we explore the story of Shiphrah and Puah — two ordinary midwives who boldy said "no" to Pharaoh's deadly orders because they trusted God above all else.  Discover how these women risked everything to protect life, offering a powerful foreshadowing of Jesus' sacrificial love.
