  • Update Your Message Settings
    Jun 22 2025
    In this message, Pastor Jarod uses the image of message settings to reveal how the messages we choose to accept give more access to the messenger. Based on 2 Corinthians 12:7–9, we see that Paul was harassed by a messenger of Satan, but instead of hiding it, he chose to boast in his weakness so the power of Christ could rest on him. Paul never played the victim—he stood under grace, not under the weight of his past. His story reminds us that God doesn’t always remove the thorn, but He does redeem it. It’s time to update your message settings. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

  • Yard Work
    Jun 15 2025
    In this message, Pastor Jarod uses the picture of yard work to show how cutting back, growing up, and walking in freedom requires effort—but it’s worth the work. Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23, we learn that God is the one who sanctifies us, but He can only sanctify what we surrender. Through four practical steps—Yielding, Alignment, Renewal, and Discipline—we discover how spiritual growth happens when we stay committed to the process. Sanctified doesn’t mean perfect; it means committed. And just like yard work, transformation takes time, attention, and a willingness to keep it between the lines. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

  • Don't Quit at "I Do"
    Jun 8 2025
    In Don’t Quit at “I Do”, Pastor Jarod takes us from the tragic fallout between Cain and God to the fiery outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. With powerful illustrations, cultural backstory, and scriptural depth, this message confronts a sobering truth: it’s possible to do spiritual things—sing, serve, give—without ever truly listening to God. Just like Cain, we can go through the motions while resisting correction, forfeiting favor. But there’s good news—Jesus has with a Spirit of freedom, inviting us into a deeper, ongoing relationship. Whether you’ve said “I do” to Jesus and grown cold, or you've said “I do” to things you now regret, God’s voice is calling. This is your invitation to be filled again, to walk by the Spirit, and to wear the wedding garments of fire. Don’t quit where covenant begins—don’t quit at “I do.” ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

  • Stop Betting on Blame
    Jun 1 2025
    From the series on Freedom: Stop Betting On Blame is a powerful, personal, and practical message from Pastor Jarod Smith, digging deep into Genesis 3 and the first moment blame ever entered the human experience. With humor, vulnerability, and biblical insight, Pastor Jarod shares a real-life story from his early marriage—and connects it to Adam’s response in the garden: “The woman YOU gave me…” Instead of owning his part, Adam deflected blame to Eve—and even to God. This message explores what happens when we gamble with blame: * Why our default is to find fault upward (with God) when pain comes sideways (from others) * How blame leads to bondage, but confession leads to freedom (Proverbs 28:13) * How Jesus not only empathizes with our pain but empowers us to walk in victory * What it means to identify the real enemy—and stop letting lies shape our identity 🎯 You’ll learn a biblical acronym—CRAI—to help you break the cycle: Confess, Renounce, Approach, Identify If you’ve ever struggled with shame, resentment, spiritual confusion, or the temptation to blame God for your past—this message is for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more content on faith, freedom, and following Jesus. 📖 Scripture references include Genesis 3:12, Proverbs 28:13, Mark 2:17, Hebrews 4:14–16, Romans 16:20, and more. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

  • Overcoming a Fig Leaf Faith
    May 25 2025
    Are you hiding behind a version of faith that looks good on the outside but conceals fear, shame, and distance from God? In this compelling message, Pastor Jarod Smith takes us back to Genesis 3 to expose the first "cover-up" in human history—when Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves to hide their shame. Through biblical insight, personal stories, and spiritual revelation, we uncover what fig leaf faith really is: a faith built on appearance, performance, and self-reliance. You’ll discover: - Why hiding from God always leads to emptiness - How the enemy uses doubt and desire to distort God’s Word - What it means that God clothed Adam and Eve—foreshadowing Christ - And how Jesus came not to expose you, but to cover you with grace If you’ve ever felt the pressure to look put together on the outside while falling apart inside, this message is for you. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

  • The Tree of Life
    May 18 2025
    In this series on Freedom, Pastor Jarod shares a message about the Tree of Life. Drawing from Genesis 2, he explores why God placed two trees in the middle of the garden and how true love requires the freedom to choose. The message highlights that God’s commands are not about control but relationship—and that real freedom is found not in autonomy, but in walking with God. Through the stories of Adam and Peter, we see how God meets us with questions, not condemnation, and how the cross—referred to in Scripture as a tree—becomes the place where freedom is fully restored. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

  • God's Resume
    May 4 2025
    God's Resume | Mike Cole, Executive Pastor What if God had a resume? This message explores how God introduces Himself to Moses as “I AM,” showing us that He doesn’t need to be defined by accomplishments — He just is. His presence spans all of existence: He is the Father above us, the Son who walks beside us, and the Spirit who lives within us. God’s objective has always been the same — to be in relationship with us. And even now, Jesus is interceding on our behalf, not as a distant memory, but as a living reality. We are part of His resume too — God is trusting us to reflect Him to the world. You’re not disqualified. You’re chosen. He’s sharing His glory with you. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch
