This week at New Life, we launch our series Four Loves by focusing on the foundation of Christian living: agape love. Just like bread without salt falls flat, a Christian life without agape is incomplete.

Jesus taught that love is the greatest commandment (Matthew 22:36-40), and Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 13 that without agape, everything else amounts to nothing. Agape is not just a feeling—it's a decision to seek the best for others, to love sacrificially, patiently, and selflessly.

Discover how God's agape love transforms our lives:

• Agape makes patience possible with difficult people.

• Agape empowers us to have hard, loving conversations.

• Agape grows as we receive and trust in God's unchanging love (Zephaniah 3:17).

At New Life, we believe that without agape, nothing else matters. Let’s pursue a life shaped by God's perfect love.

Scripture references: Matthew 22:36-40, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, Zephaniah 3:17, Romans 8:28, 1 John 4:7-8

Take your Personal Spiritual Assessment (PSA) and find your next step toward living a life of love!

Easter 2025 at New Life Church was more than a holiday—it was a declaration of hope, freedom, and victory through Jesus Christ. In this powerful message, Pastor Mike unpacks why fear is no match for resurrection power and how Jesus’ triumph over the grave changes everything for us today.

Key Theme: Jesus is King, the grave is empty, and fear has no place in the life of a believer.

From Hebrews 2:14–15 and 1 Timothy 6:15–16 to John 3:16 and Matthew 6:24, this message takes us deep into the heart of the gospel. Jesus didn’t just rise from the dead for Himself—He did it to give you the keys to life, peace, and purpose.

If you’ve been battling fear, control, shame, or anxiety, this message reminds you: Perfect love drives out fear (1 John 4:18). You don’t have to be your own savior. The King of Kings already conquered death and handed you the victory.

Say YES to Jesus. Pick up your keychain. Step into the Kingdom.

"Jesus gave you the keys. Why are you still living in fear?"

What does it mean that Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34)

In this powerful Palm Sunday message, Pastor CJ dives into one of the most gut-wrenching moments of the crucifixion and shows how Jesus wasn’t just quoting Scripture—He was singing our song. In referencing Psalm 22, Jesus entered fully into the human experience of pain, doubt, and abandonment.

✨ This week’s key idea: Jesus was forsaken so we would never have to be.

Scripture References:

• Mark 15:33-37 — Jesus’ final moments on the cross

• Psalm 22 — The prophetic cry of abandonment that turns to hope

• Hebrews 4:15 — Our High Priest who empathizes with our weaknesses

You’ll be reminded that:

• Jesus didn’t just take on our sin—He experienced our suffering.

• Faith doesn't require pretending that everything is okay.

• Two things can be true at the same time: life can be hard, and God can still be good.

• If Jesus felt forsaken, it's okay if you feel that way too.

Whether your life feels like a celebration or a lament, Jesus sings with you. He has walked your road, carried your burdens, and made a way for resurrection even in your darkest moments.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, unseen, or unworthy—this message is for you.

In Week 2 of our Grave Robber series, Pastor Mike Wilson shares a powerful message titled "People in Need." Through stories from John 5:1–15 and Mark 2:1–12, we discover how Jesus not only notices those who are hurting—but moves toward them with healing and hope.

Every one of us is either someone in need or someone called to help carry another. Pastor Mike outlines four types of people in need—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally—and challenges us to open our hearts to what God wants to do in and through us.

This message reminds us that miracles often start with compassion. Whether you're stuck like the man at the Pool of Bethesda or being carried by faith-filled friends like the man lowered through the roof, Jesus sees your need and invites you to healing.

Key Scriptures:
John 5:1–15
Mark 2:1–12
Luke 6:45
Galatians 6:2

Key Topics:
– Jesus and people in need
– The power of community
– Carrying one another’s burdens
– Emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational healing
– Faith that moves us to action

Whether you're in need today or looking to support others around you, this message will speak to your heart and help you live out the mission of Jesus in a broken world.

Everyone faces a dark night—a season of doubt, suffering, or searching for God’s presence. In week 3 of Pain & Doubt, we explore how Job, Jonah, and others endured their darkest moments and discovered that God was still at work.

What is the Dark Night?

• A time when God feels distant but is actually refining and teaching His people.
• A season of suffering that can either push us away or draw us closer to God.
• A reminder that faith is not about feeling but about trusting in God’s promises.

Scriptures to Reflect On:

• Job 23:8-9 – Job searches for God but cannot find Him.
• Jonah 2:2 – Jonah cries out from the depths, and God answers.
• Hebrews 12:6 – The Lord disciplines those He loves.
• Romans 8:28 – God works all things for good.

How to Find God in the Dark Night:
1️⃣ Lean into God through prayer and scripture.
2️⃣ Recognize that trials are part of spiritual growth.
3️⃣ Trust that God is working behind the scenes.
4️⃣ Stay connected with a faith community for support.

Even in the dark night, God is present. Hold on to faith, knowing that His light will shine through the darkness.

Life is full of pain and uncertainty, but God has the power to turn every hardship into something good. In week 2 of our Pain & Doubt series, we explore the biblical truth that no suffering is wasted when placed in God’s hands. Even in the darkest moments, You Turn It For Good becomes our anthem of faith and hope.

Throughout the book of Job and countless stories in Scripture, we see how God redeems suffering for His glory and our growth. When trials come, we have a choice—will we allow them to shake our faith, or will we trust that God is working behind the scenes?

In this message, we look at:
✅ How Job’s story demonstrates that pain isn’t the end of the story
✅ Why trusting God in trials strengthens our faith
✅ The biblical promise that You Turn It For Good (Romans 8:28)
✅ Practical ways to lean on God when facing doubt and suffering

When life doesn’t go as planned, remember: God is in control. He is faithful. And He turns all things for good.

Key Scriptures: Job 1:20-22, Romans 8:28, Genesis 50:20
