    Ephesians, Part 2 / Person, Plan, and Power / Ephesians 1:15-23 Pastor Frank Wooden

    May 24, 2026 It’s easy for faith to become something we understand in our heads but rarely experience in our daily lives. Paul’s prayer invites believers into something deeper, where knowing God becomes personal and transformative. In Christ we already have full access to God’s presence, a living hope for His plan, and the power to change how we live. This is a journey from distant belief to real connection, a call to step into a relationship with God that is active, growing, and alive. About this Sermon Series God has always had a plan. The book of Ephesians reveals the incredible story of God’s plan to bring salvation to all people through Jesus Christ and unite them into one family. In this 13-week series, we’ll discover what it means to live with purpose as people who have been chosen, redeemed, and called by God. Along the way, we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit transforms our everyday relationships—with family, friends, the Church, and the world around us. Ephesians is an invitation to step into God’s greater story and live the kind of life we were created for.

    Ephesians, Part 1 / His Story, Our Story / Ephesians 1:1-14 Pastor Markus Witherspoon

    May 17, 2026 Before the foundation of the world, God saw us, loved us, and chose us to be part of His family through Jesus. Our salvation is not something we could ever earn or achieve on our own—it is the beautiful gift of God’s grace, poured out through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. And God didn’t leave us wondering if we truly belong to Him; He gave us the Holy Spirit as His promise and guarantee that we are His now and forever. In light of all He has done, our hearts can’t help but respond with worship, gratitude, and lives that bring Him praise. About this Sermon Series God has always had a plan. The book of Ephesians reveals the incredible story of God’s plan to bring salvation to all people through Jesus Christ and unite them into one family. In this 13-week series, we’ll discover what it means to live with purpose as people who have been chosen, redeemed, and called by God.

    I AM, Beyond Sunday / Pastors JoAnn Johnson, Jared Johnson, and Markus Witherspoon

    May 11, 2026 In Episode 2 of Beyond Sunday, the Pastors from Newbreak Church reflect on the powerful “I Am” statements of Jesus from the Gospel of John and what they reveal about His identity, character, and invitation to trust Him more deeply. The conversation gets personal as the hosts talk honestly about anxiety, control, burnout, suffering, and the daily challenge of surrendering things to God. They explore how Jesus meets people not through perfection or appearances, but through humility, grace, and transformation. The episode also features an unforgettable baptism testimony from Caesar, a Marine officer who shares how hitting rock bottom led him to fully surrender his life to Christ. His vulnerable story becomes a moving reminder that God can redeem anyone’s story. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, uncertain, or spiritually hungry, this episode offers encouragement, honesty, and hope for what it looks like to follow Jesus beyond Sunday. About this Sermon Series: What if the God you’ve heard about is more personal, more present, and more powerful than you’ve experienced? In this 6-week series, we’ll explore the “I AM” statements found throughout Scripture—words God uses to reveal His character, His heart, and His invitation into relationship. These statements aren’t just descriptions—they’re declarations of who God is for us. He is not distant or abstract. He is near, knowable, and actively at work in our lives. Each week, we’ll uncover a different aspect of His identity: the Bread that satisfies, the Light that reveals, the Shepherd who leads, the Resurrection who brings life, the Way who guides, and the Vine who sustains. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with what it means to move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him—personally, deeply, and authentically. This series is an invitation to trade shallow familiarity for real intimacy… to encounter the living God, not as a concept, but as a Person.

    I AM, Part 6 / The Vine / John 15:1-8 Pastor JoAnn Johnson & Dr. Nicci Witherspoon

    May 10, 2026 Lasting personal change and spiritual growth come from staying deeply connected to Jesus, the “true vine.” As God lovingly prunes harmful patterns and shapes our thoughts, we are called to actively examine the “fruit” of our lives—our behaviors, words, and attitudes—and allow His Spirit to transform us from the inside out. Through consistent spiritual practices and reliance on God as the source of life, believers can experience real change, becoming healthier, more Christlike, and fruitful in their relationships.

    I AM, Part 5 /The Way, Truth, Life /John 13:31-14:17 Pastor Jared Johnson

    May 3, 2026 When life feels uncertain—when we’re anxious, confused, or lost—Jesus doesn’t just point us to a path, he says, “I am the way.” He claims to be the truth in a world full of opinions, and the life that nothing else can give. Christianity isn’t about what works for you—it’s about what’s true. And if Jesus is who he says he is, then following him doesn’t just promise heaven later, it gives purpose, peace, and new life right now. Through Jesus, we move forward with hope.

    I AM, Part 4 / Door of the Sheep / Good Shepherd / John 10:1-21 Pastor Markus Witherspoon

    April 26, 2026 Jesus doesn’t just offer advice for life, He offers Himself as the Door and the Good Shepherd. In a world full of competing voices, false promises, and anxious fears, we need to ask ourselves one powerful question: whose voice am I following? Christ leads, protects, and lays down His life so we can experience the freedom, security, and fullness our souls are searching for.

    I AM, Part 3 / The Light of the World / John 8:1-12 Pastor Markus Witherspoon

    April 19, 2026 Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world,” revealing that He alone can expose darkness and lead us into true life. Darkness is not only around us but often hidden within us through pain, sin, shame, and the things we try to conceal. Yet instead of condemnation, Jesus offers forgiveness, healing, and the freedom to walk openly in His light. As we follow Him daily, His light transforms us and begins to shine through us into the lives of others.
