    Alone (It's Not Good) // The Theology and Practice of Community Pt. 1

    The story of the Bible starts with God making things and calling them good. The sky, the sea, the birds, the fish — good. Humans — very good. So what's the first thing in the Bible God specifically says isn't good? Here's a hint: it wasn't lying. Or murder. Or stealing. Or greed even. Pastor Trey opens a new series on the theology and practice of community with Genesis 2:18 — "It is not good for the man to be alone" — and traces the theme through the whole story of Scripture: you weren't made to be alone. God made you for family. Community is not optional for the follower of Jesus. It's not an addendum. It is absolutely essential.

    A Sermon on the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20)

    What does it mean for you, if Jesus truly rose from the dead and if He is truly who He claims He is? Why is that the most beautiful and good message in the world? What does it mean about who you are and what you're meant to do? In this final message of the You're Invited series, Trey Hayman walks line by line through Matthew 28 — the passage famously called the Great Commission. Throughout this series we've been looking at invitations from Jesus and how people responded, in an effort to learn what His voice sounds like when He calls to us. Thus far they've been invitations to come to him, to follow him, to let the children come to him, to come down, to come and have breakfast. But this week we're looking at an invitation to go. Or rather, to come with Him in his going to seek and save the lost and make things right. This message covers: — The objections to the resurrection that the Bible itself records (Matthew 28:11-15) — Why worship and doubt can coexist — What it means that Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth — What a disciple actually is, and what it means to make disciples — Baptism, teaching, and the promise of His presence If we want to grow into who He's made us to be, we have to go. New City Church is a church in Nashville, TN, seeking to be people of presence, for the good of our neighbors and the glory of God. 📍 newcitynash.com #GreatCommission #Matthew28 #NashvilleChurch #Discipleship #Sermon

    Come and Have Breakfast: When Jesus Heals the Memories We'd Rather Not Revisit (John 21)

    Why does the risen Jesus cook breakfast over a charcoal fire? The only other charcoal fire in John's gospel is the one in the courtyard where Peter denied him. In this message from the You're Invited series, Pastor Trey walks through John 21 — where Jesus meets his disciples doing the most ordinary thing imaginable, fishing — and shows how God often speaks through the ordinary to bring healing to the places our bodies still remember. Three denials. Three questions. One invitation: come and have breakfast. Sometimes the places we most feel ashamed are where we most need freedom — and the same voice, by the same sea, still says, "Follow me."

    From Spectator to Encounter: Zacchaeus and the God Who Seeks (Luke 19:1-10)

    Zacchaeus wanted to see. He was a chief tax collector — wealthy, and considered a notorious sinner, an outsider, a guy who didn't belong with those who had their theology right. And the text doesn't whitewash his background. The Bible isn't in the business of pretending people didn't do the things they did — which is what makes the grace and forgiveness all the more astonishing. The crowd is presented as a real obstacle. Sometimes people are the barrier for you seeing Jesus. Have you been kept from seeing Jesus by the crowd? And a message for the church: are we the crowd here — blocking people we don't think should get to see Him? So how did Zacchaeus see? He positioned himself in a place where he knew Jesus was going to walk by. Here we get a very important lesson about learning to hear Jesus in your life: if you want to hear from Him, position yourself in a posture of paying attention. And what he finds out is that though he was looking for Jesus, Jesus had been on a mission, looking for him. At some point it has to move from knowing about Jesus to knowing Jesus — from looking at to being with.

    Come and See: The Invitation of Jesus // John 1:35-39 Sermon // Meiko Seymour

    Two men follow Jesus down a road and he turns and asks, "What do you want?" Their answer isn't what you'd expect: "Rabbi, where are you staying?" Not fix this. Not get me out of here. But what is it like to be near you? Jesus' response is an invitation still open to every person searching for more: come and see. Come and look around. Get to know me. This message traces the word menō — abide, remain, stay — through John's gospel and lands on the practice nobody puts on the highlight reel. They came, they saw, and they stayed. And in that staying, it was enough to reorganize the rest of their lives. Because you cannot be formed by someone you're not around. There's no version of this where you get the fruit without the vine. The curse of our modern times is that we want life change without the effort. A cultivated garden in an afternoon. But this isn't the way. The way is to accept the invitation. Scripture: John 1:35-39. Recorded at New City Church in Nashville, TN.

    Humble and Hungry: What God's Voice Actually Sounds Like Pt. 3 (Mark 10:13–27)

    When you mess up, what do you hear? Not just "I messed up" — but "I'm a failure. I never do anything right." Voices that may have been around a long time. And if we're really honest, they're underneath a lot of our decisions. In this message from our series You're Invited, Pastor Trey looks at Mark 10 — where parents bring their children to Jesus for blessing, a rich man runs up asking what he must do to inherit eternal life, and Jesus' voice is notably different than what we expect. The only thing Jesus is said to be angry about is people standing in the way of people encountering Him. The qualifier is admitting you need Him. And that isn't a statement meaning you now are defeated — it's a statement about reality. You needed Him before you knew you did. So how do we become like children? We come humble and hungry. If you want to hear God's voice in your life, it means coming open handed.

    When God tells you to say no | Learning to Hear God Week 2 | Luke 14

    Every yes is also a no. Whenever we say yes to one thing, we're saying no to other things — and a lot of us forget that reality, feeling pressure to be all things to all people. In this message on learning to hear the voice of God, we sit with two things Jesus said in Luke 14: a direct invitation to a banquet, and a statement about what it costs to respond. We look at why we settle for something that isn't God's best, why we struggle to believe his ways are actually better, and how a commitment to follow Jesus is also a commitment not to follow or worship other gods. We don't say no because God wants to ruin our lives. We say no because we want a better yes. You don't have to settle for less. Come — the banquet is ready, and it's a wedding feast. And whose wedding? Ours.

    What Does God's Voice Sound Like? (Learning to Hear God, Part 1)

    This week we transition into a new series on learning to hear God's voice and what God's voice sounds like. As Trey shares, when he was in college, he came to believe that God didn't only speak through the Bible, but through the Holy Spirit — not against Scripture, but in accordance with it. But that left a problem: what does it feel like to hear God's voice? How do you know for sure if it's God's voice and not your own? Anybody ever wondered that? We start in Mark 1 and 2, in the calling of Simon, Andrew, James, John, and Levi the tax collector — four ordinary people working ordinary jobs, and another guy working a job people really didn't like. Jesus comes to them while they're working and says, "Follow me," and immediately they leave everything. We so often miss this in the discipleship stories. We get caught up on "would I follow like that?" But it wasn't anything in particular about the people or what they offered. It was about the one who called them. When it comes to hearing God's voice, so often we fixate on what he's calling us to do. But it's about who is calling you and who he is calling you. Following him here was relational: follow me, walk with me, talk with me, be with me. That's what discipleship starts with. God wants to spend time with you, and he wants to speak with you. The qualifier is just admitting you need it. God wants you to hear his voice more than you want to hear his voice. And we believe he already is and already has.
