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.

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.
https://newsongpeople.com/series/looking-unto-jesus
Which version of Jesus are you following? Is He just a healer when life hurts, a comforter when you’re stressed, or a provider when you’re in need? Scripture says there are unsearchable riches in Christ (Ephesians 3:8), and we’re called to grow up into Him in every way (Ephesians 4:15). In this message, we’ll uncover seven dimensions of Jesus—the ruling King, the saving Redeemer, the faithful Friend, the One who perseveres, intercedes, is soon returning, and is gentle toward our weakness. The key to real transformation isn’t self-improvement—it’s Jesus Himself.
https://newsongpeople.com/messages/in-his-house-flourishing-in-your-identity
You were created to flourish! In this message, guest speaker Pastor Lee Cummings unpacks Psalm 92:12–15 and reminds us that from the very beginning, God designed humanity to flourish in His presence. But what happened when sin entered the story, and how has Jesus restored what was lost? We'll walk through how Christ restores our purpose, empowers our calling, and invites us to build a world filled with His glory. Are you living like someone who’s merely surviving, or someone who’s truly flourishing in God’s design? Dive in and rediscover what it means to flourish in His presence.
https://newsongpeople.com/messages/union-with-christ
Hey New Song Church! Grab your Bible and turn to Romans 6.We’re in Looking Unto Jesus, a series chasing one thing: Real change for real sinners — not polish, not performance, but transformation that reaches desire and identity. Today we’re going straight to the source of that change: Union with Christ.
Big Idea: You’re not just forgiven by Christ — you are united to Christ. What’s true of Him now defines you. His death counts as your death. His resurrection fuels your life.
In this message you’ll learn:• Why the Bible’s most repeated identity is “in Christ” — and why that changes everything.• How Romans 5–6 moves you from in Adam (sin/death) to in Christ (righteousness/life).• The four approaches to growth — God then me / God not me / God plus me / God in me — and why only one actually transforms.• What “abiding” really means (John 15): grafted into Jesus so His life produces His fruit in you.• Why union makes you secure (Romans 8), blessed (Ephesians 1), and transformed (Galatians 2:20) — and why the greatest gift of the gospel is Christ Himself.
Key Texts: Romans 6:3–5; Romans 5:12,19; 1 Corinthians 15:22; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 15:4–5; Philippians 2:12–13; Colossians 1:29; 1 Corinthians 6:17; John 10:28–29; Colossians 3:3; Ephesians 1:3; Romans 8:1,38–39; Galatians 2:20
Sticky lines to take with you:• “We were all born in Adam — we must be reborn in Christ.”• “This isn’t God plus me — it’s God in me.”• “Union isn’t fragile; it’s Spirit-forged.”• “The reward of union isn’t just what Jesus gives — it’s Jesus.”
Next steps:• If you’re burned out on “God then me,” come home to God in me.• If you’ve been passive, abide — take the step He already called you to.• If shame’s been loud, hear the gentle Jesus: “I haven’t let go.”

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/despair
Why do “real sinners” like us so rarely experience real change? Could self-confidence be blinding you to your need? What if the doorway to joy actually runs through despair—seeing yourself as God sees you, then collapsing into mercy? In this powerful message, Pastor Jackson walks us through Deceived → Despairing → Delight without getting stuck in shame. He'll walk us through how Paul’s journey—from “I persecuted the church” to “I’m the foremost of sinners”—teaches us about humble joy and lasting transformation. Grab your Bible, grab a pen, and lets dive in!
https://newsongpeople.com/messages/seven-dimensions-of-jesus
Hey New Song — we’re kicking off a brand-new series: Looking Unto Jesus.This week we begin with the thing every change-seeking heart needs to hear: real growth doesn’t start with trying harder — it starts with seeing Jesus rightly.
Big idea: Real change for real sinners comes from looking to Jesus — not looking harder at ourselves. When Jesus expands, we change.
In this message you’ll hear:• Why growth is in Christ (2 Peter 3:18 / Ephesians 4:15) — not self-improvement.• How a domesticated, collectible-figure Jesus keeps us small — and why the real, unsearchable Jesus makes us free.• Seven dimensions of Jesus that reshape our lives: He Rules, Saves, Befriends, Perseveres, Intercedes, Is Returning, and Is Gentle.• Practical next steps for people stuck in control, shame, exhaustion, cynicism, or numbness — what it looks like to draw near.• Stories, Scripture, and pastoral truth to help you dive deeper into Christ and begin real, lasting change.
Scriptures referenced: 2 Peter 3 · Ephesians 4 · Matthew 28 · Luke 7 · John 10 · John 15 · Philippians 2 · Romans 5 · Hebrews 7 · Matthew 11 · Mark 13 (and more)
If you came for pep-talks, great — but if you want soul change, come ready to look. Let the fullness of Jesus expand your vision, overwhelm your assumptions, and love you into growth.

📍 Message 5 in the “Hearing God” Series📖 Key Text: John 10:27 – “My sheep hear My voice…”
Can you really hear God? And if you do… are you obeying?
In this powerful conclusion to our Hearing God series, Pastor Josh Blount shares one of the most important truths about spiritual life: obedience is the key that unlocks clarity. If you want to hear God more clearly, you have to start by doing what He’s already said.
From a plastic knife and a clogged bathroom sink to a church plant in Oklahoma City, this message is full of story, Scripture, and Spirit-led truth that will encourage you to trust, obey, and hear God in a fresh way.
🎯 Big Idea: “God speaks to be obeyed—obedience keeps the conversation (and the blessing) going.”
💬 What You’ll Learn in This Message:
• Why obedience is the key to hearing God again.
• How Jesus models what it means to live fully surrendered to the Father’s voice.
• The biblical pattern that shows hearing God isn’t for the elite—it’s for every sheep who follows the Shepherd.
• How God speaks uniquely to you based on how He designed you.
• What to do when you’ve stopped hearing God (spoiler: go back to the last thing He said).
• And yes… the legendary “hairball miracle.”
🗝️ “Revelation without obedience eventually becomes silence.” – Tim Keller🗝️ “The man who hears God but does not obey will soon not hear Him at all.” – A.W. Tozer
📌 Series Recap:
• Week 1: God still speaks — and friends talk.
• Week 2: Immerse yourself in the Word.
• Week 3: The Holy Spirit speaks peace.
• Week 4: Community helps you discern.
• Week 5 (This Message): Obedience keeps you in the conversation.

"Hearing God" Series // Pastor Tonderai
God never designed us to hear His voice in isolation—He speaks in the context of community. From the Old Testament tabernacle, to Jesus dwelling among us, to the Spirit poured out in Acts, Scripture shows us a God who is deeply communal. In this message, Pastor Tonderai unpacks how hearing God is both a personal journey and a shared mission: we are equipped with His Spirit, responsible to speak His truth, and called to walk it out together in love and humility.
Discover practical ways to discern God’s voice through Scripture, prophecy, wisdom, and encouragement—while learning how to posture yourself in community with gentleness, boldness, and forgiveness. Because when we listen together, test together, and act together, we more clearly hear what God is saying to His Church.
Key Scriptures: Exodus 25:8, John 1:14, Acts 2, Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3, Ezekiel 3, 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4, and more.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/hearing-god-pastor-rich-butler
In this message from our Hearing God series, guest speaker Rich Butler unpacks what it means to recognize and respond to God’s voice in everyday life. Drawing from passages like Hebrews 1:1–2, John 10:27, Colossians 3:15–16, and Hebrews 4:12, we’re reminded that God still speaks today—through His Word, His Spirit, and His peace. Just like the disciples who cast their nets at Jesus’ word (Luke 5:4–6), we are invited to trust, obey, and experience the fruit of hearing Him clearly.
Discover how to tune your heart to God’s leading, discern His guidance amid competing voices, and walk with confidence in His will.

Immersed in Scripture // Hearing God Series // Pastor Sarah Blount
Jesus didn’t just know Scripture—He lived it. Every word He spoke, every choice He made, every step He took flowed from deep communion with His Father. In this message, we’ll uncover Jesus’s daily rhythms for hearing God clearly—through prayer, Scripture immersion, and intentional time in God’s presence.
1. Immersion & Encounter
Purpose: Help members recognize the difference between reading for information vs. transformation.Leader Tips:
Ask for examples of times they’ve read Scripture and felt personally met by God.
Encourage them to be honest if Bible reading feels more like a checklist—this creates room for practical ideas.
Follow up with: What’s one change you could make to your approach this week to read expectantly?
2. Memorization & Meditation
Purpose: Help people reflect on which part of their engagement with Scripture is strong and which needs growth.Leader Tips:
Briefly explain each phrase from Kevin DeYoung:
_Submitting your will = Letting Scripture set your priorities.
_Committing your brain = Learning it deeply, understanding context.
_Humbling your heart = Being ready to obey even when it’s hard.
Ask them to pick one area to strengthen and share a practical step—e.g., choosing one verse to memorize this week.
3. Response & Supplication
Purpose: Connect Bible engagement to life application and prayer.Leader Tips:
Encourage them to think of even small ways Scripture has moved them to action—like a phone call, an apology, or a praise prayer.
Ask the group to commit to one specific response from their Bible reading this week.
Offer to follow up next time with a quick “How did it go?” so there’s gentle accountability.

What if the God of the universe still speaks—and not just generally, but specifically… to you?
In this powerful kickoff to our new series “Hearing God,” Pastor [Your Name] unpacks one of the most foundational and transformational truths in the Christian life: God still speaks, you can hear Him, and His voice will always sound like what He wrote.
Using John 15 as a starting point, this message explores three essential questions:
Through Scripture, stories, and illustrations (including peanut butter sandwiches, radio signals, and even Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), we’re reminded that friendship with God means communication with God. He calls us friends… and friends talk.

True and Better // A Better Brother
What if your story is tied to something greater than you imagined? This week, Pastor Ken Blount continues our True and Better series by diving into one of the most compelling lives in Scripture —Joseph. His dreams, betrayals, faithfulness, and eventual rise weren’t just moments in history… they were glimpses of something (or someone) greater to come. Could his story be a shadow of the Messiah? Could your story be part of something prophetic too?
Join us as we unpack what it means to have a God dream, walk through the waiting, and discover the beauty of Jesus as our true and better brother.

True and Better // A Better King // Pastor Casey Bush
What made David “a man after God’s own heart”? How does this ancient king help us understand the kind of King we actually need? In this message, Pastor Casey Bush invites us to take a deeper look at
the stories we think we know—and the questions we might not be asking. We’re going to look at how David’s rise, failures, and faith point us to something more, the true and better.
Sermon Notes
1 Samuel 8:4-5
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, 5 and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
1 Samuel 8:7
And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
”Kingship” - A God-ordained position of leadership, authority, and servanthood under God himself.
"Anointing" - The act of applying oil to someone or something, symbolizing consecration, sanctification, or divine empowerment.
1 Samuel 13:13-14
“13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
1 Samuel 16:1
1 Now the Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.”
1 Samuel 16:6…”Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him!”
1 Samuel 16:12
Now he was ruddy, with [f]bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.
Matthew 6:33
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
1. DAVID WAITED ON THE LORD
FIRST
1 Samuel 18:7
“..Saul has slain his thousands, but David his 10 thousands.”
1 Samuel 24:6
“And he says to his men, ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lords anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.”
2. DAVID WAS OBEDIENT TO
GOD’S AUTHORITY
Matthew 25:1
“You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things” Gods not after your obedience to earn His love-Its about
responding to it.Disobedience doesn’t just break the rules, it breaks the relationship
1 Samuel 15:23
“Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also rejected you from being king.”
Malachi 3:6
“For I am the Lord, I do not change…”
1 Samuel 15:1-2
1 Samuel also said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of
the Lord. 2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them.
1 Samuel 15:7-9
7 And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which iseast of Egypt. 8 He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, they utterly destroyed.
1 Samuel 15:21
21 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”
2 Samuel 24:10
10 And David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”
3. DAVID WAS REPENTANT
Repentance - Where our heart turns away from sin and turns toward God—a genuine sorrow, confession, and a desire to walk in obedience.
A. David valued relationship over reputation
B. David feared losing God’s presence
Psalm 51:11
“Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”
C. David was tender toward conviction
“Conviction” is not condemnation-its correction wrapped in compassion.
Numbers 32:23
“and be sure your sin will find you out.”Numbers 32:23
James 5:16
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
Someone or something will sit on the throne of your life. The question is, who?
TRUE AND BETTER — WEEK 2 | A PRIEST BETTER THAN MELCHIZEDEK
From Genesis to Revelation, God’s plan has always been to draw His people near through a priesthood rooted in holiness, service, and sacrifice. In this message, Pastor Tonderai Bassoppo-Moyo unpacks how humanity was first created to be priests—cultivating and guarding intimacy with God—and how that calling was distorted by sin.
But Jesus came as the True and Better Priest, not through human lineage or legal requirement, but by the power of an indestructible life. His priesthood fulfilled everything the old covenant could not, restoring access to God and reversing what Adam lost.
