    During March and April, we'll immerse ourselves in the greatest story ever told, the account of the last week of the life of Jesus, including his death and resurrection.  The story that became the pivotal moment in the history of the world just might become the pivotal moment in your life too.

  • Blessed to be a Blessing

    2011

    When God called Abraham to follow him in Genesis, he promised to bless him and to make him a blessing to others. In the same way, God's desire is not only to bless us in every way but to make us a blessing to our community and world. This year, NewLife will be focusing on how we can live out that call to be a blessing to others, wherever we go.

  • The coming Messiah

    November 7th, 2010 - December 19th, 2010

  • Blessed are the peacemakers

    September 12th, 2010 - October 24th, 2010

    As long as people are different, we will have conflict. Our ability to effectively handle that conflict is so often what separates thriving relationships, families, companies, and churches from ones that are falling apart. In this series, we will learn what the Bible has to teach us about how to deal with conflict well, so that our relationships can become stronger than ever.

  • Meeting Jesus

    June 13th, 2010 - September 5th, 2010

    A Hebrew fisherman. A prostitute. A woman caught in adultery. A blind man, a paralytic, a leper, and even a dead man. They came from different backgrounds, but each one left their interaction with Jesus changed forever. As we will learn this summer, it's impossible to stay the same after Meeting Jesus.

  • Scripture Memory

    2010

    bible

    In our pursuit of the heart of God and in our discipleship to Jesus, one of the greatest tools is knowing God’s Word, so that our hearts and minds might be filled with His truth and power. Every month in 2010, we will be memorizing one powerful verse of Scripture, and on the last Sunday of every month in 2010, we will be looking at the month’s memory verse, with time given to both preaching and testimonies on what that particular verse means for the people of our church.

  • Practical Christianity

    April 4th, 2010 - June 6th, 2010

    January 10th, 2010 - March 21st, 2010

    From David and Goliath to David and Bathsheba, from the ark to the Psalms, the life of David is a story of a warrior, lover, poet, and passionate man after God's heart who experiences dizzying heights and soul-crushing lows along the way. From January to March, we'll be looking at the highlights of David's incredible life, learning how we can live a life of true significance.

  • New Year's 2010

    December 27th, 2009

    joshua

    There may be someone in your life who needs you to offer them a fresh start, a clean slate by forgiving them. You have the power to lift incredible burdens off of people’s shoulders, to be like Christ. Or, conversely, you may need someone to offer you a fresh start, a clean slate by seeking forgiveness from them. The past is forgiven. This is Day One.

  • God is...

    September 13th, 2009 - December 20th, 2009

    God_is

    Everything hinges on your view of God.  Is He a good God?  Can you trust Him?  Is He all-powerful?  Does He love you when you screw up or does He want to crush you?  Will He provide what you need?  Does He care about the wrong that has been done to you?  Will He judge you in the end?  Can you know Him?  From September to December, we will investigate this all-important topic, so that we might truly understand who God Is...

  • The Way of Wisdom

    June 7th, 2009 - August 9th, 2009

    "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver" (Proverbs 16:16).  Knowledge is important, and morality is essential, but without wisdom, even the smartest, most moral person can make a mess of his life.  This summer, we will look at the book of Proverbs, applying ourselves to the study of wisdom, so that we might discover what it means to be competent with regards to the realities and complexities of life.

  • Bible in Two Years

    2008 - 2009

    bible

    We have been reading through the Bible in 2008-09, and every two months we pause to preach and discuss a passage from what we have been reading.

  • Test Yourself

    April 19th, 2009 - May 17th, 2009

    How do you know your faith is the real deal?  Are you sure you really know God?  Do you have confidence that you will be in heaven when you die?  The apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 13:5, 'Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-- unless, of course, you fail the test?' In that spirit, during this five week series we will be looking at John's first letter in the New Testament, understanding what true, saving faith really looks like, so that we might all, God-willing, pass the test.

  • The Passion of the Christ (2009)

    March 22nd, 2009 - April 12th, 2009

    passion-of-the-christ

    Betrayal.  Rejection.  Execution.  Abandonment.  Death...

    Resurrection.  Forgiveness.  Reconciliation.  Redemption.  Victory...

    For the next four weeks, beginning on March 22nd, we'll immerse ourselves in the greatest story ever told, the account of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The story that became the pivotal moment in the history of the world just might become the pivotal moment in your life too.

    September 30th, 2007 - October 28th, 2007

    church

    Somehow, a small band of fishermen, tradesmen, women, and nobodies from a remote outpost of the Roman Empire ignited a revolution that forever altered the course of history.  The story of the early church, as recorded in the Book of Acts, is a tale that we would be wise to heed if we ever hope to do the same.
