Are you producing fruit… or just staying busy?

This week’s message, “Remain in Him,” takes us into Jesus’ words in John 15 — where He reminds us that real spiritual life doesn’t come from effort, activity, or good intentions, but from connection.

Jesus doesn’t call us to strive harder.
He calls us to remain.

In a culture that celebrates independence and self-sufficiency, Jesus speaks a countercultural truth:

“Apart from Me, you can do nothing.”

We’ll explore what it means to abide in Christ, why pruning is part of God’s loving care, and how lasting fruit only grows from a living connection with the True Vine.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually tired, dry, or disconnected — this message is for you.

What am I holding onto that keeps me from fully following Jesus?

Jesus’ invitation has always been simple—but never easy: “Come, follow me.”

In this first message, we look at the moment Jesus calls His first disciples and what that call still means for us today. Following Jesus begins with a response—leaving behind what defines us, trusting who He is, and stepping into a new way of life. This message explores what it means to hear Christ’s call, why it requires surrender, and how true life begins not by holding on tighter, but by letting go.

This is not just a call to belief—it is a call to movement.

If Christmas truly changed everything… what is it changing in you right now? The Christmas story doesn’t end in a manger—it moves us toward a mission.

Jesus didn’t just come to be admired; He came to be followed. From humble beginnings to a global calling, the birth of Christ invites us to respond with obedience, faith, and purpose.This message traces how God’s work in Bethlehem continues through His people today—and what it means for us to live sent, not settled.Watch and be challenged to move from celebration to commission.At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey.

Are you so busy this season that you might miss the hope God is placing right in front of you?In Luke 1:26–56 we’re reminded that God often speaks and works in quiet, ordinary moments. As life speeds up, this passage invites us to slow down, pay attention, and recognize the hope God is offering—often in ways we don’t expect and in moments we’re tempted to rush past.At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey.

Did you know that doubt and faith can exist in the same moment?

What do you do when God’s promises feel bigger than your understanding… or even your circumstances?

In Light of the World: Faith for the Impossible, we looked at Mary and Elizabeth and discovered that faith doesn’t mean having all the answers—it means trusting God when the outcome feels impossible.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can God really work through this?” or “Is my situation too far gone?”—this message is for you.🎥

Catch up on yesterday’s sermon and be encouraged to trust the God who brings light into impossible places.

What if the hardest part of encountering God’s light isn’t believing it exists—but being ready for it?In Luke 1, we meet Zechariah—a faithful priest, doing the right things, in the right place, at the right time. And yet when God finally speaks after 400 years of silence, Zechariah struggles to believe it. He isn’t rebellious—he’s cautious, worn down, and shaped by years of waiting.God’s response is striking. Before the Light arrives, Zechariah is led into silence. And in that quiet season, God is doing preparation work—forming faith, reshaping expectation, and getting His people ready for what is coming.We often want God to move brightly and quickly, but Luke shows us that God often prepares hearts long before He reveals His plans.

If God’s light were to break into your life today, would it find a heart ready with faith—or one shaped by disappointment and silence?This message, Prepared for the Light, explores how God uses waiting, silence, and even doubt to prepare us to truly receive the Light when it comes.At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey.

If Christ is the Light of the World, what part of your life still needs to be surrendered to His light?Yesterday we opened our Christmas series in Isaiah 9 and faced a reality Scripture never softens: the darkness is real — but God’s Light is stronger.The message is now up on Facebook, YouTube, and our Podcast. If you weren’t with us, I encourage you to watch or listen. Let God’s Word remind you that the Light does not just expose — it rescues, restores, and reigns.“In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” — John 1:4 (NIV)At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey.

We say “thank God” all the time—after good news, after a close call, after something finally works out. But what if thanking God was meant to be far more than a reaction to life’s ups and downs? What if gratitude is meant to be the posture of a heart that truly knows Him? What would change in your life if gratitude became your first response instead of your last resort? Scripture keeps calling us back to this truth: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1 (NIV)

Gratitude isn’t seasonal. It’s spiritual formation. It’s worship. It’s warfare. It reminds our hearts who God is—even when circumstances shift.
