The New Life Community Church Podcast

The Church, Culture, and Politics (pt1) | Unity

While we will not agree on every single political talking point, we must not allow politics to create division among us as Christians. Jesus’ prayer and His deep desire for His church is oneness and unity, encouraging us to come together despite our differences. Are you willing to follow Jesus even when doing so creates space between you and your party’s platform and candidate?

Questions We're Afraid To Ask (pt4) | Parenting

How do I become the parent God wants me to be and the parent my kids need me to be?  Parenting is a journey filled with both joys and challenges. One of the significant challenges is guiding children in their faith and character development.  Explore five truths that are essential for Christian parenting.

Questions We're Afraid To Ask (pt3) | Hear God's Voice?

Many people often wonder how they can truly know God’s voice in their lives. Does He speak audibly to us in a way that we can hear with our ears? Does He communicate through other people in our lives, giving us guidance and insight? How can I be certain that it’s God speaking to me and not just my own thoughts or feelings? We take the time to explore these profound questions and many more. In doing so, we discover that we serve a speaking God who loves us deeply and cares for each one of us.

Questions We're Afraid To Ask (pt2) | End Times?

The end days are a subject people often debate. Though various Scripture passages might suggest multiple meanings, we can find some basic instructions or guidelines to interpret the end days and prepare for them.

Questions We're Afraid To Ask (pt1) | Why Do Bad Things Happen?

Evil often challenges and pushes against our preconceived ideas of God’s character and behavior, prompting us to reconsider our beliefs and understanding. During these difficult moments, our faith becomes even stronger when we remain committed to God and trust in His plan, especially when faced with trials and tribulations.

The Creed (pt9) | Forgiveness

The Apostles' Creed ends on a high note and brings humanity into it's confession.  There's much to unpack from the necessity of forgiveness, to the acknowledgement of sin, resurrection of the body, and life eternal.

 

The Creed (pt 8) | Church

The church should not simply be defined by a physical place or a specific building, but rather by the wonderful community of people who come together to make it up and share in their common faith in Jesus. When people stop going to church and start being the church is when they can support and encourage one another as God intends.

The Creed (pt7) | Trinity

We believe in a triune God, consisting of three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each person is fully and equally God, sharing the same divine essence while functioning in unique roles within the creation and redemption of the world.  Together, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit embody a relationship of perfect love and unity, inviting us to participate.

The Creed (pt6) | If Not Now, Then When?

The ascension of Jesus to heaven is essential for the gift of the Holy Spirit. It gives hope that humans can also join him in heaven. The ascension confirms that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was enough for our sins. Having a human Jesus in heaven means that we can approach him confidently in prayer, knowing he sympathizes and intercedes for us.

The Creed (pt5) | All In For The Resurrection

Jesus died on Friday and rose from the dead on Sunday morning, personally, bodily, physically, actually, and literally. It was Jesus himself, not a substitute, and he rose in his crucified body. He rose as a physical being, not as a ghost or phantom. In this message we explore the resurrection of Jesus who was raised immortal, incorruptible, and will never die again.
