New Life Fellowship Podcast

We are preoccupied often with three things, clarity on right decisions, control over the results, and corporately being known. If we’re honest with ourselves, we think about these three often and worry about them. But Paul prays a prayer for the Philippian church and us that addresses those three things. It is a prayer that reveals the power of God’s love in everyday life.

God doesn't need you to be a strong Christian. Sounds counterintuitive, yet Paul teaches that our weakness allows us to lean into His grace, which is His power to face the difficult circumstances in life.

God asks that we turn to Him in prayer for healing, help, and restoration. But what happens when we turn to Him in earnest faith, but His answer is no. How do we face the pain and struggle that He doesn't take away? Paul's thorn in the flesh gives us important insight to the hope filled truth that God has a purpose, especially in our pain.

The world cheers for strength, for excellence, for those with power and special abilities. But God chooses the weak, who are committed to trust Him, because that's where His power shows up best.

What does it mean to be convicted by the Holy Spirit? We will explore how God encourages us to grow through conviction and that conviction is our opportunity to trust Him. Peter Watt from @crosswaystolife joins us to share from his own journey the good that comes from hearing, trusting, and surrendering to the Holy Spirit.

We are often guilty of the comparing ourselves with others and feeling that we come up short. Yet it is foolish to do that, because it means putting ourselves under the standard (which is another way of saying the Law) which only guarantees that we experience death and condemnation. Yet, the Apostle Paul decides to lower himself into this foolishness to show that the false apostles who are placing the church in Corinth under law, are unworthy of their toleration.

In multiple letters and by multiple people, including Jesus, we are warned to watch out for false apostles, teachers, and prophets. For they are servants of Satan meant to confuse, devour, and bind up the children of God. But how do we identify these wolves in sheep clothing, and how can we protect ourselves?

Often our reminders of the crucifixion narrative highlight Jesus’ physical pain. However he also endured a psychological burden of abuse that with close watch we can see that was significantly brutal. Pastor Robin looks at Matthew 27, and helps us see how Jesus’ true power was on display in the face of mockery, manipulation, and mistreatment. But not just power to show off - but power to save...

The impact of a father is difficult to overstate, whether positive or negative (or usually a combination of both.) My need for a Perfect Father started the day I was born; this is a need no earthly father could ever meet. If we allow Him, God will Father us with tenderness, disentangling the lies the bind us, and bringing us new peace, freedom, and joy.

When the first church erupted on the scene in Acts 2, it soon overwhelmed the apostles with the day to day administration. The result was the creation of a new and critical role within the church - the deacon. Pastor Ross explains what that role means within NLF as well as the a brief overview of the various staff and teams within the church.

The gospel is meant to be simple. But as the serpent deceived Eve into believing a complicated gospel led her astray, our enemy attempts to do the same with us. This robs us of our joy, peace, hope, rest, and power that is found in the simplicity of Jesus.

We all want to see God's kingdom grow through evangelism, yet we often find it very hard to start a conversation. Pastor Ross breaks down some of the common questions that need an answer from everyone of us. Is there a God? Who is this God? Where do I stand with Him? And what should be my response to Him?

Faith is foundational to the life of a Christian. We are saved by grace through faith, and we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Understanding the obstacles to faith and what we can do to overcome those obstacles can help us to experience the abundant life as we walk with God. This week we have Shelagh Balfoort from @crosswaystolife sharing.

God is casting His eyes looking to and fro across the earth looking for someone that is committed to Him. This is a person whose heart is surrendered to God and His purposes. This describes the life of Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament. She endured a long time of unfulfilled dreams and much pain as a result. But she never lost her faith in God, and was rewarded with a part in the story of the coming Messiah.

We all do it. We compare ourselves with others in order to determine if we are worthy of love and acceptance. But when we do it, not are we being foolish, but it only ends up hurting us. Instead, we need to learn to boast in who God has made us. When we boast is what He has done, we will live in freedom.

We live in a world filled with inauthenticity. Manipulated images, disinformation, false advertising, stories where the truth is twisted or parts hidden. Which creates a world of mistrust and people bluffing with one another. The answer is to live with integrity, where you live from the new heart that God has created within each of His children. This life leads to peace, confidence, and freedom of conscience.

Psalm 20 is a national anthem. It is a song that is a prayer for the king for battle. It is a salute to our current King, Jesus' authority. It is a challenge to read that song as a believer under grace and living in today's political system where my feelings and rights are more important than anyone else's. Can Jesus' Kingship be trusted? Can we confidently pray that His desire's are fulfilled and not ours? If we're honest with ourselves - we should take a closer look at the implication of Jesus as King.

Every relationship will at some point experience a time of messiness and conflict. But that conflict can be a time of growth and healing, if we learn how to fight fair. The Apostle Paul experienced a time of conflict with the church in Corinth, and we learn how Paul fought for - not against the Corinthians to earn their trust against the fortress of lies and shame from the Flesh.

The entire gospel hinges on the resurrection. It is the message of hope, freedom, and life that the church offers the world. The people of New Life share what the resurrection means for them today in this powerful Easter Sunday message.
