DAY 13 — Songs for the Shepherd

God’s people have always sung when He saves—and the Psalms teach us how to sing in every season. Today we explore how David’s songs point to the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. What does worship look like when life is hard? Advent invites us to lift our voices as we wait for our Shepherd-King.

DAY 12 — Elijah & the Living God

On Mount Carmel, Elijah confronted the empty promises of idols and revealed the fire-falling power of the living God. Today we ask: what idols capture our hearts today? Why do we chase things that cannot hear or save? Advent calls us back to the God who speaks—and to the Prophet greater than Elijah.

DAY 11 — David’s Sin & God’s Mercy

David was a man after God’s heart, but he was also a man capable of deep failure. Today we walk through his darkest moment and his desperate cry for mercy. Why does God forgive sinners like David—and like us? Advent reminds us that we need a sinless King who can restore our broken hearts.

DAY 10 — Ruth & the Redeemer

In a story filled with grief and loss, God quietly worked redemption through Ruth and Boaz. Today we explore how loyalty, kindness, and courage lead to the family line of Jesus Himself. What does it mean to be “redeemed”? Advent invites us to take refuge under the wings of our Redeemer.

DAY 9 — The Rejected Mediator

Moses stood between God and His people, praying for mercy even when they rejected him. Today we reflect on Israel’s rebellion and Moses’ intercession—and how both point toward Christ. Why do we reject the very One who came to save us? Advent teaches us to see Jesus as our greater Mediator, praying and standing in the gap for us.

What if the hope you’re holding onto isn’t actually the kind of hope the Bible promises? What if real hope isn’t a wish, a feeling, or a seasonal emotion—but a confident expectation anchored in the unshakeable goodness of God? In this Advent message, we explore why the birth of Jesus in a manger means hope has arrived for everyone, right now. What if cultural Christmas awakens longings it can never fulfill, and only Christ can? How do we live with a hope that doesn’t disappoint, especially when life feels chaotic or heavy? And what would change if you lifted your soul to God and stayed close enough to see Him moving? Step into the true meaning of Advent and discover a hope that is firm, secure, and alive.

DAY 8 — The Day of Atonement

Once a year, Israel watched as two goats carried away their sin—one sacrificed, one sent into the wilderness. Today we explore how this ritual pointed to Jesus, our final and perfect substitute. Why can our sins really be forgiven and forgotten? Advent reminds us that Christ came to make us “at-one” with God forever.

DAY 7 — Moses & the God Who Rescues

God saw His people suffering in Egypt and sent Moses to bring them out. Today we look at how Moses’ rescue mission points to a greater Deliverer still to come. What does it mean that God hears, remembers, and acts? Advent reminds us that Jesus came to lead us out of a far deeper slavery.

DAY 6 — Joseph: From Pit to Palace (Sarah)

Betrayed by his brothers and forgotten in prison, Joseph saw God turn pain into purpose. Today we explore how Joseph’s rise to power foreshadows Jesus—the Beloved Son who suffers to save. What others meant for evil, God meant for good. This story invites us to trust God in seasons that feel like “the pit.”

DAY 5 — Jacob the Trickster & God’s Grace

Jacob’s life was messy, complicated, and full of failure—yet God’s promise continued through him. Today we look at how grace, not goodness, keeps God’s story moving. Can God really use people who get it wrong again and again? Jacob shows us just how powerful God’s mercy truly is.

DAY 4 — The Promised Son & the Substitute

Isaac’s miraculous birth showed God keeps His promises, and the ram on the mountain showed God provides a substitute. Today we explore how this father-and-son moment points forward to Christ. Why would God ask Abraham to give up his beloved son—and what does it reveal about the Son God would one day give for us? This story prepares our hearts for the manger.

DAY 3 — The Promise to Abraham

God chose an unlikely man and made a promise big enough to bless the whole world. Today we trace that promise—from Abraham’s barren household to the birth of Jesus Himself. What kind of God gives everything to someone who deserves nothing? Discover how Advent is rooted in God’s unstoppable faithfulness.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/gods-peace

What if the peace God offers is far stronger, deeper, and more whole than anything you’ve ever imagined? What if biblical peace isn’t the absence of conflict, but the presence of Someone? In this message, Pastor Tonderai Bassoppo-Moyo explores the difference between the world’s fragile peace and the unshakeable peace God gives—peace that brings wholeness, mends what’s broken, steadies us in trouble, and reconciles us to God, to ourselves, and to others. If true peace feels distant, fragile, or inconsistent in your life, what would it look like to discover the kind of peace Jesus promised? Listen in as we explore the peace announced at His birth and offered to us today.

Advent, meaning “arrival,” signifies the start of something profound. In the Christian tradition, it is a four-week season dedicated to reflecting on and celebrating Jesus’ arrival on Earth! It’s a season to remember the unexpected humility of His birth and anticipate His future return when He will reunite Heaven and Earth. Join us as we explore themes of hope, peace, joy, and love this Christmas season at New Song Church.

We stand as a people ready to answer the call a body of believers whose lives speak the Word of God. His glory revealed through our story.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/we-make-space

What does it mean to make space for God to move? In this message from Pastor Josh, we explore what happens when we recognize that everything we have belongs to Him—and that we’re called to steward it, not own it. What if generosity isn’t about money, but about the heart? What if expanding our sanctuary and opening our hands to give is actually about creating room for people to know God, be saved, and be sent? We’ll look at Ephesians 2, Psalm 50, and Matthew 6 to see how God uses surrendered hearts and open hands to build His house and reach His people. Because when we make space for Him, He fills it—with His presence, His peace, and His purpose.

Series: Looking Unto Jesus // Real Change for Real Sinners // The 4 P's of Pain

What if your pain isn’t proof of God’s absence, but a sign He’s working more deeply than you realize? In this week’s message, Pastor Josh unpacks how God uses even the hardest seasons to shape us into the likeness of Christ. Why does God allow pain? What purpose could it possibly serve? And how do we find real joy when life hurts? Together, we’ll explore how pain is a promise, serves a purpose, comes with a prescription, and, most importantly, reveals the person of Jesus in the midst of it all. He doesn’t just remove pain; He redeems it. Join us as we look to Jesus, the One who transforms suffering into strength and scars into trophies of grace.

https://newsongpeople.com/series/looking-unto-jesus

Real change for real sinners doesn’t just happen as we look up to God- it happens as we look out to one another. In this message from our series Looking Unto Jesus, Pastor Sarah unpacks 1 John 1 and shows how honesty and confession are essential to true spiritual growth.
Walking in the light isn’t about being perfect; it’s about what to do when we aren’t. 
It’s about daring to be a sinner so we can experience the cleansing, freeing power of Jesus’ blood together.

Discover how confession brings us out of the dark and into the light of real fellowship and freedom in Christ.
