You are a human being, not a human doing. This week we talk about rest, Sabbath, and why stopping is harder than it sounds. We look at Sabbath as something built into creation from the beginning, the difference between resting because God rested and resting because we're free, and what it means to pause in Selah — not just to be quiet, but to praise. Work is good, but it was never meant to be…
We're often told who we are by our past, our failures, our relationships — by everyone except the One who made us. In this message from New Vision Church in Fayetteville, Georgia, we look at Exodus 3 and 34, where God reveals his own name and character to Moses, and we ask what it means to know Him before we can know ourselves.

We talk about doubt, rest, and what it means to be "glocal" — globally minded and locally active. From Matthew 28 to a simple family rhythm called RPT (read, pray, teach), this episode is about making disciples right where you are, starting at home.

Why does missions exist? Because there are still people who don't know the name of Jesus — some in nations we can't easily reach, some living right here among us. This week we talk about being "glocal," the reality of unreached people groups, what it means to be "gospel privileged," and a simple rule of T.H.U.M.B. for praying for the nations. New Vision Church, Fayetteville, Georgia. A community…
Deacon Marshall Ayers joins us this week with a message on covetousness — the grasping for more that shows up in our PMS. Power, money, and sex, that is. Starting in Matthew 14 and John 6, he asks why Jesus withdrew from the crowd instead of being crowned by force, and what that means for the platforms we chase outside of God's timing. He also shares pieces of his own story before calling us to…
In Luke 13, Jesus tells about a fig tree that hasn't produced fruit in three years, and a gardener who asks for one more year to dig around it and add fertilizer. This week at New Vision Church in Fayetteville, Georgia, we talked about what it looks like to let God dig into our hearts and use even the hard parts of our lives to help us grow. We also talked about discipleship as a friendship, not a…
This week at New Vision Church in Fayetteville, Georgia, we looked at Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus and asked whether we're willing to let God change us so we can help change others. We talked about what it means to be a "people planter": someone planted in other people's lives who also plants people, investing in others even when we won't see the fruit for years. Using Ananias'…
At New Vision Church in Fayetteville, Georgia, we look at the story of Saul and Paul — a man who spent his early life persecuting Christians and ended up writing much of the New Testament. One encounter with Christ changed the direction of his entire life. We talk about what his story says about commitment, change, and what's possible with God. New Vision Church — Fayetteville, Georgia. A…
At the ten-year mark of his time as lead pastor, Pastor George returns to the message that started it all — Lego. This Sunday, he asks what we're actually building, who gets to define us, and what we're holding onto that God is trying to take. A grounded, honest word about identity, foundation, connection, and letting the creator be the creator. God doesn't make junk, but He can only build with…
This Father's Day, we looked at what it means to call God "Our Father." Guest speaker O'Neil Coakley shared five marks of a Christlike father: leading spiritually loving with compassion providing identity disciplining with wisdom leaving a legacy We talked about the kind of father God is, and what that means for the way we live, lead, and parent. Whether you grew up with a father who modeled these…
This week we're talking about prayer. It's something every one of us can actually do. We look at the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 as Jesus' model for prayer, and walk through adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.
