A message from the series “How to Deal with Transitions.” We all play favorites. We have a favorite restaurant, a favorite sports team, a favorite movie, etc. Favorites are fine, when applied to these things. But favorites are wrong when it comes to how we treat other people–especially when we let the social-scorecard deem who matters and who doesn’t. In God’s economy, we are all his favorites! Lean in with us as we talk about the value of all people and how to treat each other through the eyes of God’s amazing mercy!

A message from the series “The Book of James.” When we are shaken by a hardship in life, we see our true character come out! None of us like trials, but we all go through them.

Lean in as we look at the example of Christ himself, as he shows us what true greatness and servant leadership looks like.

A message from the series “Gospel of John.” “You should have been there!” We have said that in happy and hard circumstances. Especially in hard circumstances, we may look up in a posture of prayer and say: “God, you should have been there!” Mary and Martha knew what it was like to feel disappointed, even telling Jesus that he should have been present before Lazarus, their brother had died. Lean into this heart-felt message as we see how Jesus responds to our dire circumstances and crisis.

A message from the series “Gospel of John.” Did you know you have an “enemy” that is out to get you?

Join us as this week at Newbreak Church and in our Life Groups as we learn together how to know the voice of The Good Shepherd and then rest in his care, and not our own.
