This week we saw that serving is at the heart of following Jesus. We were confronted with how easily comfort, busyness, or fear can keep us from stepping into a life of service to Jesus. God has entrusted every one of us with time to give, tale...

This week we talked about how disciples are forged in community and why following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. The second pillar in our discipleship flywheel at New Life is: group. From the beginning God said it is not good for m...

The miracle of peace is that God stepped into our world to drive fear out of our hearts with His presence. In Luke 2:1–14, the angels announce peace to terrified shepherds, reminding us that God meets ordinary, anxious people with extraordinary...

The most important question any of us will ever answer is: who is Jesus Christ? The Christmas miracle of the Savior is that Jesus is eternally God who has always existed and through whom everything was made. His close ...

God’s Word has always been the one thing that changes everything, and we see that all through the Christmas story. When the angel speaks to Mary in Luke 1, her entire future is reshaped by a single message from God. In Luke 2, that same good ne...

This week we’re looking at The Miracle of the Moment from Galatians 4. Jesus didn’t arrive early or late; He came at the perfect moment in history, when the world was united by a common language, connected by Roman roads, the empire was calm (P...

When we think of Christmas, our minds go to a manger in Bethlehem, but the Christmas story actually begins much earlier, in the ashes of paradise lost. In Genesis 3, sin enters the world, and everything God made good is fractured. Humanity’s re...

What do the Apollo 13 space mission, Goldilocks and the three bears, and astronomy tell us about the existence of God? Does science disprove core elements of Christianity? Former physics teacher and current full-time Christian apologist Tim ...

Jesus doesn’t just send us on mission​ – He goes with us on mission. In Matthew 28, Jesus promises His followers that He will be with them always, to the very end of the age. That means we never go alone, whether we’re...

In the Great Commission, Jesus’ last words to His disciples before He ascended, He makes clear the nature of the task. Far from being a new thought, Jesus’ call to make disciples of all nations was firmly rooted in the Old Testament Scriptur...

This week we look at what it means to belong to the family of God. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul reminds us that the church is like a body - many different parts, each with a unique role, but all connected and dependent on one another. Belonging...

This week we explore the foundation of the Christian life: believing in Jesus and learning to be with Him daily. Faith begins with trusting Jesus as our Savior and Lord, but it grows as we spend time in His presence through prayer, Scripture, a...

The last section of this letter reminds us that the Christian life is lived in the middle of a spiritual battle. Paul makes it clear that we have a real enemy who schemes against God’s people and seeks to steal, kill and destroy everything good...

Ephesians 6:1–9 reminds us that the gospel shapes every relationship in our lives, starting at home and extending into our work. Paul calls children to obey and honor their parents, which brings blessing and reflects trust in God’s good design....
