New Life Ministries Podcast PodPoint

The Bible is an extremely powerful and helpful book of history, wisdom, love, and guidance, yet many of us rarely engage with it long enough for it to create an impact in our lives. What is holding us back from exploring this book from God more often? Perhaps if we knew more about it, we'd be interested in reading it regularly. In this one part message "Bible Basics", Pastor Jordan answers many frequently asked questions about the Bible so that we may be inspired to read it for ourselves and learn all that God has for us in its pages.

When we look around at the brokenness of this world, it can be easy to get discouraged. There are so many different types of hurt and trouble that we face in our relationships, jobs, families, and beyond. Is there any hope for restoration? What do we do when we feel beyond repair, or see the ones we love unable to find relief? In the finale of "Come As You Are", Pastor Joe teaches us how we can be not only saved, but healed and restored in amazing ways through the power of Jesus.

We may hear people say things like "and then I found God", or "I found God when I..." - but what if it's the other way around? In part three of "Come As You Are", Pastor Joe teaches us that from the beginning of time God is the one who has been seeking us out. We simply have to accept His love and begin a relationship with Him! But that's not where things end. Once God finds us, we are then able to reach out to other people who need His love - which is everyone we meet!

The Bible teaches us that God has a plan and direction for our life once we start following Jesus... but how are we supposed to find out what it is? Once we begin our faith journey, what happens next? In part two of "Come As You Are", Pastor Joe teaches us that in order to say YES to what God is calling us to, we must say NO to other things. And once WE know Jesus, we are all called to lead OTHERS toward Jesus too! The good news is, we never have to do any of this alone.

Many of us have tried really hard to change things in our life - patterns, relationships, personal goals, etc - only to discover that we just don’t have what it takes. It can be frustrating to want to be better or to figure out what this life is really for and feel like we're getting nowhere. Where can we find real help? In part one of "Come As You Are", Pastor Joe teaches us that no matter what our struggles are, and no matter what kind of experience we've had with church or with God, Jesus wants to help us in EVERY aspect of life. We are welcomed into a relationship with Him just as we are!

Church should always be a safe place for people to learn, heal, and connect with others. But what happens when people in the church cause others harm? What about when leaders in the church use their power to deeply hurt people? In the finale of "Scary Church", Pastor Joe tackles the sensitive topics of church hurt and spiritual abuse, and teaches us how we can prevent it, as well as find healing when it does occur.
