    Made for More

    In Week 3 of SWAT: Spiritual Warfare and Tactics, Pastor Dan continues through Acts 2:14–28. After the Holy Spirit falls at Pentecost, Peter stands up and boldly proclaims Jesus to the crowd. This is the same Peter who denied Jesus, spoke too quickly, sank after stepping out of the boat, and failed in fear. But when the Holy Spirit filled him, Peter became a bold witness for the gospel. This message reminds us that God has always used imperfect people: Moses, Gideon, David, Rahab, Mary, Matthew, Paul, Peter — and He can use us too. The power of the Holy Spirit is not given so we can simply have a spiritual experience. He empowers us to witness, to believe God can use us, to expect God to move, and to call people to the only name that can save: Jesus. Pastor Dan also reminds us that serving, giving, and meeting practical needs matter — but the greatest need every person has is to call on the name of the Lord and be saved. Through the story of Lorenzo, we are reminded that when someone calls on Jesus, even death does not have the final word. You were made for more than sitting in church. You were made to be filled with the Spirit, sent on mission, and used by God to help one more person know Jesus.

    Power to Witness

    In Week 2 of SWAT: Spiritual Warfare and Tactics, Pastor Dan continues through the book of Acts. Preaching from Acts 2:1–13, Pastor Dan teaches on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came like a violent wind and tongues of fire rested on every believer. This was not just a spiritual moment for the apostles — it was the beginning of Spirit-empowered witness for the Church. The message connects Pentecost to Mount Sinai, showing how the law was once written on tablets of stone, but now the Holy Spirit writes God’s law on human hearts. At Sinai, 3,000 died after rebellion. At Pentecost, about 3,000 were saved. This message reminds us that the Holy Spirit gives believers power to be witnesses, not merely to have a spiritual experience. But Pastor Dan also warns that we can quench the fire of the Spirit through cynicism, wrong fire, unforgiveness, resisting bold preaching, and despising prophecy. If we want to live on mission for Jesus, reach one more, and carry the fire of God into our homes, workplaces, schools, and city, we must receive the Spirit’s power and refuse to put out what God wants to ignite.

    Baptized in the Holy Spirit

    Pastor Dan is back and launching a brand new series called SWAT: Spiritual Warfare and Tactics. In this first message, Baptized in the Holy Spirit, we begin in the book of Acts and see that Jesus has given His Church a mission — and He has also given us the power to fulfill it. Through Acts 1, Pastor Dan teaches that the book of Acts is not merely the acts of the apostles, but the acts of the Holy Spirit through surrendered followers of Jesus. Before the disciples were sent out, Jesus commanded them to wait for the gift of the Father: to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. This message reminds us that salvation brings us into the family of God, water baptism publicly identifies us with Jesus, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit empowers us to be witnesses. The Holy Spirit is not given so we can simply have a spiritual experience; He is given so we can live on mission, reach one more, and carry the life of Jesus to people who are spiritually flailing without Him. As New Life enters 21 Days of Prayer, this message challenges every follower of Jesus to ask: Who is my one more? Who is the person God has placed in my life to pray for, invite, and reach with the hope of Jesus?

    Castaway or Calling?

    This week, New Life Church welcomed guest pastor Pastor Robby Emery. Preaching from Acts 27–28, Pastor Robby reminds us that life does not always take us where we planned to go. Paul was shipwrecked on Malta, bitten by a poisonous snake, and surrounded by people waiting to see if he would fall. But instead of living like a castaway, Paul kept serving, shook off what tried to attach itself to him, and allowed God to use his wounded hand to bring healing to others. This message is a call to stop letting circumstances define us and start walking out our calling wherever God has placed us. Even when we are hurting, we can still bring hope. Even when the ship breaks apart, we can still hold on to faith. And even when the enemy tries to use pain to paralyze us, God can use those same wounds to reveal His glory. If you feel far from God, discouraged by disappointment, or stuck in a season you did not choose, this message will encourage you to draw close to the Father, shake off what does not belong, keep serving, and trust that God can turn your shipwreck into purpose.

    Sweet Surrender

    This week, New Life Church welcomed guest pastor Pastor Evan Hoekzema, who is planting Tribes Church in northwest Grand Rapids, launching September 13, 2026. In this message from Daniel 6, Pastor Evan asks a simple but weighty question: what is required for a life to leave a mark? Through Daniel’s faithfulness in a foreign land, we see that a life of lasting impact is built through an excellent spirit, a clean slate, a steady swing, and sweet surrender. Daniel’s life reminds us that faithfulness is not just about one big moment. It is built through daily obedience, integrity when no one is watching, rhythms that keep us close to God, and trust that refuses to compromise even when the outcome is uncertain. Whether you feel like you are in a palace, a workplace, a season of waiting, or your own version of a lion’s den, God is able to meet you there. This message is a call to bring your best, right some wrongs, stay the course, and trust God with the mark your life will leave.

    Jehovah Sabaoth, Tsuri, Rohi, and El Roi

    In this special Names of God message, four New Life leaders reveal four powerful ways God meets us personally: Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies; Jehovah Tsuri, the Lord our Rock; Jehovah Rohi, the Lord our Shepherd; and El Roi, the God who sees us. Pastor Isaac shares that the King of Glory commands heaven’s armies while personally calling each believer to say yes and help build His Church. Barry reminds us that we were never meant to carry the pressure of being everyone’s rock—Jesus alone is the firm foundation who keeps us steady through every storm. Wade shares how our sovereign Shepherd knows us by name, provides what we need, and walks beside us through life’s darkest valleys. Leah closes by showing how God met Hagar in the wilderness and continues to see, pursue, and speak into the pain of those who feel forgotten. Whatever you are facing, God is not distant. He commands with authority, grounds you in every storm, shepherds you with faithful care, and sees every part of your story.

    Jehovah Nissi, Raah, Rapha, and Shammah

    In this special Names of God message, four New Life students share powerful mini-messages on who God is: Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals; Jehovah Raah, the Lord our Shepherd; Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our Banner of Victory; and Jehovah Shammah, the Lord who is there. Through Scripture, testimony, and bold faith, this message reminds us that God is not distant from our pain, confusion, battles, or loneliness. He heals what is broken, shepherds us when we feel lost, fights for us when we are afraid, and remains with us in every season. This sermon is also a powerful picture of the next generation saying yes to God, stepping into courage, and declaring that Jesus is still changing lives. Whether you need healing, direction, victory, or the reminder that you are not alone, this message points you back to the God who is present, faithful, and worthy of your trust.
