Breathe
We see a church where serving is like breathing, necessary and life giving. We are a people who have discovered and are living out the purpose for which God created us. We have set aside our own pursuits to serve others. As we shift gears in the coming weeks, we do so to launch into…

Living In Convergence
The Church was never meant to be an end in itself, a holy huddle of people who never go beyond the four walls of the sanctuary; people who play it safe, grow little, and do what they have always done. The Church – our church, was designed for mission. NewLife’s mission statement comes from what is known as the Great…

Brokenness: A Tragic Lesson on True Repentance
It has been said, that sorry is the hardest word to say. Actually, saying sorry is not that difficult to say. We say it all the time, but saying you’re sorry is not the same as being sorry, and being sorry is not the same thing as being broken. In 1 Samuel 15, we read…

Living By Faith (Hebrews 11:1-16)
Hebrews 11:1 Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it. NCV American journalist and cultural critic H.L. Mencken once said, that faith is an “illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.” On the contrary, Biblical faith is both rational and logical. It is based on the…

Hold Fast (Hebrews 10:19-39)
Because of what Christ has done for us, we can confidently approach God, hold fast our confession, and encourage others to stay true to Christ and one another. In the second half of Hebrews 10, we are reminded, that no matter how difficult the Christian life may be, we must not shrink back. We must…
