The New Life Community Church Podcast

Evangelism doesn’t start with a stage—it starts with a simple invitation. Ordinary people saying, “Come and see.”  You don't have to know everything about Jesus to introduce someone to Him.

We’re reclaiming something that’s quietly gone missing: evangelism. It’s not about being perfect or loud — it’s about living a life that points to Jesus. Through the story of the woman at the well, we’re reminded that a changed life is the most powerful sermon. Let’s make Heaven full and Hell empty — starting with how we live.   Recorded: Sunday, July 13, 2025

In this message, we explore Psalm 126 — a song written for people in the middle of a climb. With humor, honesty, and heart, we’ll journey through a half-marathon story, a historic return from exile, and a God who meets us in the hills of life. Jesus is where the joy is — not just at the finish line, but every step along the way.

We’re celebrating 36 years as a church — and we’ve officially reached a summit: we’re debt-free! In this special message, Pastor Alex unpacks Psalm 124, reminding us that we didn’t get here by chance. If the Lord hadn’t been on our side, we wouldn’t be here. Now, with fresh perspective, we look forward to what’s next.

Ever tried to build something and halfway through realized...you had no idea what you were doing? Maybe it was a shelf, a chair—or maybe your entire life. In today’s message from Psalm 127, we’re talking about what it means to build with God at the center. Because here’s the truth: you can hustle, grind, and plan your life down to the last detail—but if God doesn’t build it... it won’t hold.

This week in Summer in the Psalms, we’re looking at Psalm 122—a worship road trip anthem for God’s people. In a world where vacations are about escape, this psalm reminds us that worship is worth the journey. Discover how true worship brings joy, builds unity, and realigns us with God’s peace and purpose.   Recorded: Sunday, June 15, 2025 (Father's Day)

In the second week of our Psalms of Ascent series, we turn our attention to Psalm 133—a brief yet powerful expression of unity among God’s people. This message was delivered on Pentecost Sunday, a significant day to remember how the Holy Spirit brings us together as one body. Together, we will explore why unity is so precious to God and how it brings life, blessing, and strength to our church comm...

In this kickoff to our Summer in the Psalms series, we’re diving into Psalm 121—a road trip song for the soul. Just like road trips need music, our faith journey needs reminders of who’s with us. Discover how God is your Helper, Protector, and Constant—now and forever.

Your life is more than just a birth date and a death date—it’s all about the dash in between. In this powerful message, Pastor Alex challenges us to live boldly for Jesus, just like the early believers in Acts 4 who prayed for courage in the face of pressure.  It's a challenge to live boldly for Christ, influence other, and let God use our lives for something that echoes into eternity.   Recorded:...

In a world that often treats faith like a buffet, we might want to skip over topics like hell. But Jesus is clear—hell was never meant for us. You were created for relationship with God, not ruin. Through Christ, heaven isn't just a far-off destination—it’s your true home. The invitation is open…will you accept it? Let’s learn how to live like citizens of heaven today.   Recorded: Sunday, May 18,...

This Mother’s Day message from the “What Was I Made For?” series highlights Jochebed, the mother of Moses—a woman of bold faith who trusted God with her son’s life in the face of danger. Her story reminds us to trust the invisible God to do visible things, to act in faith, and to pass on our faith to the next generation. Even in a broken world, God still honors and works through the role of mother...

God is inherently good in nature, desires our goodness, and has a divine plan designed to make us complete and whole through Jesus Christ. This plan reflects His unwavering love and commitment to our spiritual growth and fulfillment.

The fundamental reason we exist begins in our origin story. Understanding that I was intentionally made by God means I am not an accident at all; rather, I was created with a specific purpose in mind that transcends mere chance. This purpose is intricately connected to the image of God that I bear within me, highlighting both my value and my responsibility to reflect Christ to the world around me....

This Easter message takes a closer look at Jesus’ work on the cross and His resurrection as a powerful rescue mission. He didn’t simply come to teach, love, or leave behind a compelling example to help good people become better individuals. Rather, He came to rescue us from the grips of death, the overwhelming darkness, and a captivity that only He possessed the power to break. In doing so, He off...

Jesus taught that our hearts resemble various types of soil, each determining how we receive and nurture His message. Some hearts, like hardened paths, reject truth, while others, akin to rocky soil, may initially accept but lack depth to endure hardships. Furthermore, thorns symbolize the worries and distractions of life that can choke spiritual growth. Yet, the good soil represents those who hea...

In the Book of Ezekiel, God offers a profound promise: He will replace our hardened hearts with soft hearts that are attuned to His voice. This spiritual heart surgery, however, begins with repentance. Repentance is not merely an act of feeling sorry for our wrongdoings; it is a deliberate turning away from our past and towards the grace of God. When we come before Him in humility, acknowledging o...

God warns us because He loves us deeply. When we can genuinely embrace the right disposition towards God’s warnings found in Scripture and demonstrated throughout history, it will position our hearts to be soft and receptive to His guiding hand in our lives. However, we must remain vigilant, as sin is deceptive and the devil is a liar. Therefore, it is essential that we encourage one another to pe...

Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on why your relationship with God isn’t as fulfilling or as vibrant as it could be? Perhaps it’s because we find ourselves being double-minded, torn between our faith and the distractions of the world around us. God has a plan and purpose for our life, but it can only be accessed if we are willing to sell out wholeheartedly to Him. Recorded: Sunday, March 23...

Have you ever felt like your Christian life is not measuring up to the vibrant faith and devotion of other Christians or the inspiring figures you read about in the Bible? It can often seem challenging to bridge the gap between our personal expectations and the reality we experience in our daily lives. This message strives to provide a paradigm shift concerning the presence of God moving it from a...

Lent is a season that goes beyond mere rituals or spiritual activities; it is a time for genuine reflection and transformation of the heart.  It’s not about giving up comforts or following traditions for the sake of it, but rather cultivating a deeper relationship with God and allowing Him to soften and shape our hearts.   Recorded: Sunday, March 9, 2025

Today many Christians struggle to build and maintain meaningful relationships that reflect the love of Jesus.  If we are to effectively function as the body of Christ, we must become intentional, vulnerable, and gracious in nurturing connections and embracing our shared mission.  The early church exampled for us how to find "Your People" and walk together, growing in faith and purpose.   Recorded:...

Relationships can be complicated. Lying to others is a clear sign of deeper problems within us. When we understand that our words reflect our heart's state, we may need to seek healing from Jesus and forgiveness from others. Jesus is the Truth that can set us free from the bondage of people please, lies, and deceit.   Recorded: Sunday, February 23, 2025

Making the choice to embrace Christianity is often viewed as a powerful step towards a new life. However, this journey can be more complex than many anticipate. Many individuals find themselves wrestling with deep-seated habits and struggles that seem to persist despite their newfound faith. This inner conflict can lead to feelings of frustration and discouragement, leaving one to wonder how to na...

In our relationships with others, we often find ourselves noticing various “red flags” that serve as warning signs. However, do we ever take the time to reflect deeply and consider if we identify similar warning signs in our relationship with God?  In this message we look at three chairs to help identify where we sit in relationship with God.   Recorded: Sunday, February 9, 2025

In life, we often encounter situations and relationships that can lead us astray. It’s crucial to recognize the signs that indicate when something isn’t right. These signs, often referred to as "red flags," serve as warnings guiding us to make wiser choices.  Thankfully, we have a God who loves us and will graciously raise "red flags" for our own protection. The problem is when we ignore them like...
