What can one act of obedience change?In this episode, we celebrate 25 years of New Life Church and look at what God has done through people who were simply willing to say yes. From planting a church with young kids and no guarantee of what would happen, to a single encouraging text that helped shape a future calling, we talk about how God uses ordinary moments of faithfulness in ways we may not…
God has done great things, and He continues to do a new work in His people and His church. This message challenges us to recognize God’s faithfulness, trust Him to complete the work He has begun, and move forward with joy and spiritual fervor. We are called to keep Jesus first, remembering that He holds all things together and that our true citizenship is in heaven. We must also protect and…
In this episode, we explore the call to share our faith in a natural, everyday way. Drawing from Scripture, we look at how Jesus came to seek and save the lost, why following Him means becoming fishers of people, and the power the Holy Spirit gives us to be witnesses. Learn someone's name. Listen to their story. Speak to their potential!
Family was God’s idea, designed to provide meaningful relationships and a place where people can grow together. Psalm 127 reminds us that unless the Lord builds the house, our efforts are ultimately in vain. This sermon challenges us to build our families intentionally rather than accidentally, making the home a shelter where people feel safe, a learning center where faith and character are…
This week we unpack one simple but powerful truth: the questions we ask God often reveal what's really in our hearts. As we continue through the Beatitudes, we talk about the difference between asking God to bless our plans and asking for His will, why Jesus responded to questions with questions, and how surrender often brings more clarity than certainty. If you've ever wondered whether you're…
God often does His deepest work through interrupted plans. In Acts 8, Philip’s willingness to leave his expected path and obey God’s direction placed him exactly where he needed to be to share the gospel with the Ethiopian eunuch. This reminds us that God still uses ordinary people who are willing to move when He instructs, even when the destination or purpose is unclear. Clarity often comes with…
This week we unpack Jesus' words, "Blessed are the peacemakers," and discover that biblical peace is much more than avoiding conflict. We talk about the difference between keeping the peace and making peace, why unresolved conflict quietly shapes our hearts, and how knowing the Prince of Peace changes the way we relate to others. From difficult conversations to forgiveness, pride, and…
Jesus calls His followers to be peacemakers—not people who simply avoid conflict, but people who actively pursue reconciliation and restoration in their relationships with God and others. Unresolved conflict can hinder our relationship with God, affect our prayers, and ultimately hurt us more than anyone else. Scripture calls us to forgive, seek reconciliation, and live at peace with others as far…
Pastor Tanner Bezet teaches that Matthew 5:8 shows a pure heart is the key to experiencing God's presence and reflecting His light to others. Purity is not perfection but an undivided heart devoted to God. He highlights three ways to pursue purity: keep an undivided heart by choosing God over the world, guard your heart from sin and bitterness, and continually cleanse your heart through confession…
This week we unpack Jesus' words, “Blessed are those who mourn,” and discover that even our deepest pain can have purpose. Along the way, we wrestle with one unexpected question from Esau's story: What are we trading for our birthright? We talk about comfort, calling, waiting on God, and how temporary satisfaction can quietly pull us away from God's best. Through stories of career changes,…
Jesus’ third Beatitude, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth,” reveals that meekness is not weakness but strength surrendered to God. Through the examples of Jesus, Moses, and Joseph, this message shows that biblical meekness is power under control, marked by humility, gentleness, self-control, and complete trust in the Father’s will. Because believers are adopted into God’s…
This week we unpack the final Beatitude, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,” and discover that the conversation ultimately leads somewhere unexpected—forgiveness.Looking at the life of Stephen in Acts, we wrestle with what it means to respond to persecution with grace, why forgiveness is one of the hardest parts of following Jesus, and how God's mercy can transform…
