New Life Family Fellowship

Father's Day

As fathers we face many pressures in life. Do we let that push us into fear and anger or do we recoil into passivity? Listen to what the Lord would lead you into... As a father, a husband and in the world around you.  

Thank God Jesus left

Jesus said it was better if He goes so that God will send the Holy Spirit for all of us.  What kind of life will you live? Will it it be by the Holy Spirit or will you continue on in your prison? See what God is inviting you into through the power of His resurrected and ascended Son.  

" Sent" - Go into all the world -

Celebrate the the resurrection but don't neglect what comes next. Don't let fear trap you in the upper room. Let God's transformative power and instruction pull you out into the world. 

 

Matthew 28:18-19 (NKJV)
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  

 

John 20:21 (NKJV)
So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."  

 

On the road,

When do you recognize Jesus? Are you waiting for Him to take away your trouble or? Is He walking you through something that your praying for him to take away? Find out what the word says about your circumstances and let Him show you how to reinterpret the stories you tell yourself. 

Forgiveness is Relational - Freedom is Transformational

In today's sermon, we continue to look at the story of the prodigal son. We focus on the process of repentance in the journey of return to the Father's house. Once we "come to ourselves," we must begin the journey. As we make our way back home, we must resist the urge to "rehearse our failures" and learn to accept the forgiveness that the Father has already given us. Then, and only then, can we truly be free from our sins of the past and experience the transformational life that the Father provides.

Repentance

In today's sermon we dive into the process of coming to ourselves in order to come back to the center which is Christ. We need to first look within ourselves and be completely honest with what is blocking us from going deeper into intimacy with the Lord. 

Attention to Orders

As we move further into the year of jubilee, we look into the walk between repentance and redemption. We see the example of the Prodigal son and the Father's love and how true repentance is not driven by fear. It is drawn by love.

The Danger of being Lukewarm

We begin today's sermon with a thought provoking question: What is distracting us from deeper intimacy with God? John writes to the people in Laodicea warning them about the danger of being lukewarm. The problem is not whether we are hot or cold, the problem is how far are we from the life giving source? Many times, Christ is a near part of the church but not the center of it. Today's message prods us to look within ourselves and re-shift our focus to Him. 

What Has God Placed On Your Heart?

God restores, resets, and reorders, for those who respond to Him. So, how can we know when God has put something on our heart and how and when do we respond to it? In Nehemiah, we see what God put on his heart and how quickly he responded. Not only were the walls physically rebuilt, the people were as well. Is there something that needs restoration in your life? Is there something that needs to be reset, or maybe even reordered? Let's take a look at God's Word to examine how we can KNOW when God is speaking to our hearts and how we should respond.

Refresh series (week 3 Love )

We've heard the prodigal son parable many times but this time we will focus on the father and his love for both sons.  Most of us can identify with the prodigal and the rebellious nature but can we also identify with the religious son? Experience the love of a father that comes out to meet you whoever you are and wherever you came from.
