New Life Church - Sunday Morning

Discover the profound meaning behind one of Jesus' most beloved parables in this sermon on the prodigal son story from Luke 15. This powerful biblical teaching reveals the universal human longing for home, belonging, and unconditional love that every person experiences. Listen as Pastor Jon teaches  how the Parable of the Prodigal Son actually tells the story of a devoted father who represents God's incredible love for His children.

After his resurrection, Jesus didn't seek crowds or celebrations. He personally addressed three types of people: the sorrowful, the skeptical, and the shameful. Which one are you? The risen Jesus is calling your name, answering your questions, and pursuing you with love - no matter what you've done or where you've been. Are you ready to hear him?

The story of brothers Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10 reveals the difference between a God-authorized and self-authorized spiritual life. Their sin wasn't incompetence; it was independence. These trained priests offered unauthorized fire and were consumed by divine judgment, teaching us that spiritual competence without dependence on God leads to self-confidence and destruction. 

God doesn't do things halfway - He's not interested in lukewarm commitment or borrowing Him for benefits when convenient. The ancient offerings in Leviticus reveal a powerful blueprint for total surrender, gratitude, community, healing, and restoration. Which of these five areas is God calling you to focus on today?

The book of Exodus reveals that God doesn't just want to rescue us from our problems—He wants to live with us. After the dramatic Red Sea crossing, the narrative shifts to detailed descriptions of the Tabernacle, showing God's desire for permanent residence among His people.

To 'plead the blood' of Jesus is more than a theological concept. It's a spiritual weapon that transforms lives when understood and applied correctly.

What if your biggest ambition this year wasn't growing your business or building your brand, but loving God with everything you have? Instead of centering yourself in your goals, discover what happens when, as Luke 10:27 commands, you center Jesus in your heart, soul, mind and strength. Centering Jesus in our affections means cultivating deep love for God that overflows into everything else. The transformation might surprise you.

Pastor Daniel and Lisa Grothe unpacked Ephesians 5 in a fresh way - reminding us that "headship" isn't hierarchy. It's Jesus-style leadership. The kind that serves first, sacrifices first and lifts others first. 

In a world consumed with power, Jesus calls us to something different: humility, honor and mutual lifting. Our marriage, friendships, family and community flourishes when we choose the way of Jesus.

Are you fighting the wrong enemy? Today's message reveals the truth about spiritual warfare from Ephesians 6, showing how we often fight the wrong battles against people instead of the demonic forces working to destroy our faith and relationships. Pastor Daniel urges us to put on the full armor of God each morning - the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of Gospel peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit. And finally, discover why prayer is necessary in our spiritual lives and to our ultimate spiritual victory.
