New Life Church Sermon Podcast

Matthew 6:25-33 Pastor Drew Williams I wonder how many of you are worried right now.(...) Maybe there's a concern that's weighing you down, (...) a friend or relationship that burdens you, someone you love, someone you care about, something that you really want to change but you don't know how to change it. (...) Do you feel worried right now? (...) Do you feel worried often? (...) We've been stud...

Mark 14:32-42 Pastor Erik Anderson My name is Eric, I'm one of the pastors here. You can join us. And yes, in fact, it is true. Drew and I did match this morning. So you may have noticed already, we have a beautiful old lady in our church. She's in a nursing home. And as age comes along, sometimes there's some confusion. You can't keep something straight. And so she'll oftentimes tell her son, who...

2 Chronicles 20:1-30 Pastor Drew Williams I want to start by telling you that I think there are two types of people. (...) One type of person likes to drive. (...) The other type of person thinks driving is stressful. (...) And I don't know which one you are, but there's another truth that I think unites all of us.(...) Driving is stressful for everybody when you're sitting in the passenger seat a...

Mark 5:21 Pastor Erik Anderson I invite you to open up your scriptures this morning to Mark chapter five. We're gonna be in Mark chapter five beginning in verse 21. So in the seat back, a little like cage thing underneath your chairs, you can grab a Bible.(...) If you don't have your own or you can open up your phone, use your Bible there, or if you brought your own, that's great. We're gonna be i...

Mark 5:1-20 Pastor Erik Anderson

Encouraging God’s people to not settle for less than all God has in store for them Exodus 14:10 -14 Pastor Mike Bradley

Mark 4:35-41 Pastor Drew Williams To get started, I wanna tell you a little bit of a story when my daughter had just been born. This is my first child for Megan and I, and so we were brand new parents, I was a brand new dad, and I had no idea how tired I would be all the time. And some of you who have raised kids have an understanding of that experience of just how much everything about you change...

MARK 4:1-20 Pastor Drew Williams I've said before that when it comes to gardening, I don't have a green thumb. I actually have a black thumb. Because whether it's plants that just look pretty, or fruits and veggies, anything that I've tried to take care of in a garden of some sort, I usually end up bringing death to the plants. And that's not really good if you're trying to garden. My wife, Megan,...

Mark 3:20-35 Morgan Folgers

Mark 2:18-22, 3:1-6 Pastor Erik Anderson We're going through Mark this summer and we're gonna look at two different passages that kind of have a similar theme here in the early Mark. We'll get to that in a second. So that's why we're looking at two separate passages and right in between them is the passage that Danny preached on last week. So we're gonna be in Mark chapter two beginning in verse 2...

Mark 2:23-28 Danny Moore Thank you. Thank you, Drew, very much. Thank you all for that warm welcome. We'll see if when I'm done you feel the same. But I'm happy to be up here with you, mostly happy to be up here with you. This is not my usual thing, but it is an exciting opportunity. So here's what I'd like you to do for me today. I need you to think of your perfect place. All right? You're going...

Have you ever carried something that wasn’t that heavy, but then you’ve been carrying it so long that all of a sudden, it feels super heavy?   For me, this happened when our daughter was born. Emmy came three weeks early, and she was 5 pounds, 15 ounces when she was born.   [SLIDE 2] She was the littlest thing I had ever seen. I was a little worried to hold her, because she was s...

Mark 1:40 -45 Pastor Erik Anderson

Mark 1:29 -39 Morgan Folgers   Mark 1, verses 29 to 39. As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to wait on them. That evening, after sunset,
 the the people brought...

Mark 1:14-28 Pastor Drew Williams   What comes to mind when I say “good news!”??? For my daughter, Emmy, she thinks there is candy somewhere in the house, or it means that one of her friends is coming over to play.   For someone awaiting a call from the doctor, it means that the test came back clear, and they can release the burden of stress and anxiety.   [SLIDE 2] (low...

Matthew 6:19-21, 24 Pastor Drew Williams Have you ever felt like you didn’t have enough money to take care of all the things you’re responsible for? Earlier this week, I was speaking with a friend from CA, and the topic turned to some financial stress they were having. Both he and his wife had gotten new jobs recently, but they were no longer able to afford the private school their kids had been g...

Acts 20:32-36 Pastor Erik Anderson Acts chapter 20. I believe it is page 108, 103. Someone there, someone holler it out when you have it. 108, we're gonna be on page 108, Acts chapter 20, verse 32. And this is what the scripture reads.
 And And now I commend you to God and to the message of His grace, a message that is able to build you up and give you the inheritance among all who are sanctified....

Luke 12:13-21 Pastor Drew Williams Last week, I was speaking with someone after church about how they were thinking about their finances, especially since their situation has recently changed. And the questions they were asking were all about how to ensure that they weren’t falling behind in their goals and in the ways they wanted to be a part of God’s mission. And I loved that conversation, becau...

Ecclesiastes 5:10; Proverbs 21:20 Pastor Drew Williams   When Megan and I were planning on getting married, we talked about money a lot, because we didn’t really have any. And our parents didn’t really have any money, either, so we knew that we were saving up to pay for our own wedding. Now, we still wanted a big party, and we still wanted it to be a memorable event for us and all our gue...

Matthew 9:9-13 Pastor Erik Anderson

Mark 6:1-6 Pastor Drew Williams Have you ever been heckled before? Usually, when I think of hecklers, I think of rowdy people who try and distract everyone at a comedy show, pulling attention away from the performer on the stage. Or it’s someone yelling “boo” from the back of an auditorium when someone is about to start a song or begin to speak. Can you imagine how awful it would feel to have some...

Was Jesus an Alcoholic? Luke 7:33-34 Drew Williams

Matthew 12:9-14 Erik Anderson

John 20:1-18 Pastor Drew Williams There was an interview I saw recently with an interrogation specialist from the FBI who said that when we look at another human, we don’t really SEE them fully. Instead, we are “reading” their face for a few quick clues, like hair color, skin color, and a general sense of their gender and age. This is why when you’ve just met someone and only spoken to them for a...

Luke 19:29-48 Pastor Drew Williams Many children grew up singing the words, “You put your right hand in, you take your right hand out, you do the hokey-pokey, and you turn yourself about.” It’s a silly song to help teach kids autonomy of their limbs, and to learn right from left. It’s a silly song, but it’s also a pretty good description of how many of us live our lives. We step into something new...
