New Life Fellowship Podcast

There has always existed pressure to adapt the gospel of grace that is Jesus plus nothing, to become more pleasing to others. Either to add in some rules and religious laws to make people "keep" the grace of God, or to smudge what God's word says so that the world caught up in their sin wouldn't be offended. But Jesus came with grace and truth, and like the Apostle Paul, we are not seeking the approval of man because we have become bond-slaves of Christ.

Paul's letter to the Galatians quickly went from a cold opening, to a hot rebuke. He confronts them with the ease and speed in which they abandoned God for a gospel of self-works and legalism.

We begin a study of Paul's letter to the Galatians. It is a powerful letter where the Apostle Paul argues for the freedom that was paid for by Jesus Christ. Not just for the moment of salvation, but that "we might be saved from the present evil age" through the grace of God today.

In this profound sermon by Pastor Robin, we delve into the challenging concept of reconciling our expectations of God with His divine plan. Drawing from the life of Jesus and the experiences of his disciples, Pastor Robin invites us to contemplate a crucial question: Will we follow a God who doesn't always meet our expectations?

Join us as we journey through Luke 24, verses 13-35 and discover how Jesus, as the humble king of hopeless hearts, reveals His character in the midst of our disappointments.

Catholics and Protestants have been arguing for centuries over what the Apostles James and Paul meant when they referenced the righteousness of Abraham. Was he made righteous by faith alone? Or was it his works in sacrificing Isaac? Pastor Ross explores the passages in Romans 4 and James 2 and shows how both Paul, James, and the other Apostles are all in alignment.

Paul tells Timothy to fight the good fight of faith. What does that mean? Taking a closer look at 1 Timothy chapter 6 - we can see that it is possible for Christians - even pastors to get out of the good fight. Pastor Robin highlights how Paul illustrates for believers the what and the how of keeping in the good fight.

The story of Ishmael and Isaac is more than just a tale of one brother jealous of the other. It is a portrayal of Law vs Grace. Of Flesh vs Spirit. Of self-dependence vs Christ-dependent. Of death vs life. Using the Apostle Paul’s explanation in Galatians chapter 4, Pastor Ross explains what it means to live by the Spirit and not under the Law.

The story of Abraham and Abimelech feels like deja-vu from his journey into Egypt. Twenty-five years later, Abraham lies about his relationship with Sarah to protect himself out of a greater fear of Abimelech than his fear of God. But it is much more than a story of Abraham's failure. It is a story of God's grace and redemption of this righteous man.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is an important and unforgettable one. And that is by God's design and intent because it was meant to be an eternal warning to everyone about the coming judgement that each person will face in the day of Jesus' return. But if we think that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was only their immoral behaviour, then we will miss the real sin - their lack of reverence and respect of God and His authority. Pastor Ross guides us through the famous passage and helps us identify with each of the characters and what that means for us today and in the future.

The kingdom of God is the rule of Christ. It is synonymous with the saying ‘Jesus is Lord’. Jesus’ rule is not just a place but a here and now that when we step into it we exert His authority over the kingdom of darkness wherever we go. In today’s sermon, Pastor Robin highlights how Jesus’ rule is the reason for accepting, forgiving, and rejoicing with each other as the body of Christ.

Every relationship is only as good as the communication. That is true in marriages, friendships, and even with co-workers. And the same is true with God. When we struggle to hear from Him, it will limit the depth to our relationship. But is hearing God as difficult as we have been led to believe? Or is it something that we are invited to grow into with our loving Heavenly Father?

Doubt is part of the human condition. Denial, pushing it down, or ignoring it won't stop them from eating away at our hope. In Genesis 17 and 18, we see Abraham and Sarah promised a miracle which they laughed at when God first told them. Yet, their doubt didn't decide their faith. Pastor Ross explores what to do when doubt fills our mind.

In Genesis 17, we have a continuation of the terms of the covenant between God and Abram and all his descendants. In chapter 17, God changes Abram's name to Abraham, and Sarai to Sarah. But He also implements a covenant of circumcision that is much more than a physical act. It was meant as a sign to point to a greater spiritual reality that God would accomplish in the hearts of those who believe in Jesus.

The story of Sarai and Hagar in Genesis 16 is a sad tale of what happens when we operate out of the flesh, even trying to do God's will FOR Him, but in our own strength. God wants us to wait upon Him and His power, not do it our way and on our timeline - lest we produce an Ishmael and not an Isaac.

The greatest mistake the Church has made is mixing the Old Covenant (The Law) with the New Covenant (Grace). In doing so, we lose the power of both. Pastor Ross compares the two covenants and shows how "You shall..." becomes "I will..."
