New Beginnings Baptist Church

In 2 Samuel 11, we see how David’s unchecked temptation, isolation, and failure to protect his heart led to devastating consequences. Pastor Peyton Coker challenges men to take responsibility, confront their blind spots, reject isolation, and pursue holiness.

It’s time to man the wall, fortify your life, and protect what God has entrusted to you.

New Beginnings exists to be a people connecting people to Jesus and His ever-restoring work where we live, work, and play.

In this episode, Todd Taunitz examines the fall of King David in 2 Samuel 11 and the devastating consequences that followed when a warrior king stepped away from his responsibility to “man the wall.” Todd unpacks four lessons from David’s failure: the danger of abdicating responsibility, ignoring blind spots, living in isolation, and concealing sin. Through David’s story and Psalm 51, we’re reminded that spiritual battles are fought over generations—and that protecting your family begins with protecting your own heart. This powerful message challenges men to embrace accountability, walk in the light, confront their weaknesses, and experience the freedom and restoration that come through genuine repentance.

September 27th | Man the Wall | 1 Peter 5:6–11

God has entrusted something to you—and He’s given you permission to fight for it.

In this message from 1 Peter 5:6–11, Pastor Matt Darby calls men to recognize the spiritual battle happening around them and take their place at the wall. The enemy is prowling, looking for an opportunity to destroy your faith, family, marriage, children, and legacy.

But we don’t fight alone. We need God’s power, God’s people, and God’s presence.

Humble yourself. Stand firm. Resist the enemy. And fight for what God has entrusted to you.

It’s time to man the wall.

September 27th | Man the Wall | 1 Peter 5:6–11

In week two of Man the Wall, Pastor Todd Kaunitz reminds men that the Christian life is a battle—and we have an enemy who is actively looking for opportunities to destroy what God has entrusted to us.

From 1 Peter 5:6–11, Pastor Todd challenges men to be sober-minded, watchful, and ready to fight. But fighting well doesn’t begin with trying harder. It begins with humility, surrender, and dependence on God.

Discover the three things every man needs to fight well: God’s power, God’s people, and God’s presence.

The battle is real, but so is God’s grace. He promises to restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish us.

Men, will you fight? The fight doesn’t start with standing—it starts with kneeling.

September 20th | Man the Wall | Genesis 2:5–9 and 15–25

What does it mean to be the man God created you to be?

In this opening message of the new Man the Wall series, Pastor Matt Darby calls men back to God’s original design for biblical manhood. The goal isn’t to reinvent manhood or shame men for where they’ve fallen short—it’s to restore what sin has damaged, distracted, and distorted.

Walking through Genesis 2:5–9 and 15–25, Pastor Matt shows us four things God gave man from the beginning: a Creator to know, a calling to fulfill, a command to obey, and a companion to love. Biblical manhood isn’t ultimately about power, status, or control. It’s about knowing Jesus, taking responsibility, cultivating and protecting what God has entrusted to us, living under His authority, and learning to love others sacrificially.

But Genesis 3 reveals how sin distorted God’s design. The good news is that restoration doesn’t begin with trying harder—it begins by looking to Jesus. Where Adam failed, Jesus obeyed. Where Adam hid from God, Jesus brings us to God. Where Adam brought death, Jesus brings life.

Men, you can be the man God created you to be. In Christ, what has been broken can be restored.

Join Pastor Matt Darby for this powerful first message in Man the Wall: Restoring Manhood.

September 20th | Man the Wall | Gen 1-3

What makes a man? In this sermon from Genesis 1–3, Pastor Peyton Coker explores God’s design for biblical manhood and the call for men to faithfully stand in the places God has entrusted to them.

Through five pillars, we see that a man needs:

• A Creator to know

• A Calling to fulfill

• A Command to obey

• A Companion to love

• A Christ to restore

Biblical manhood isn’t about simply trying harder or becoming a “better man.” It’s about surrendering to Christ and becoming a new man in Him.

Man the Wall. Stand faithfully. Love sacrificially. Work diligently. Lead humbly. And above all, know and follow Jesus.

September 20th | Man the Wall | Gen 2:7-3:15

What does it mean to be a man according to God’s design?

In the first message of the Man the Wall series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz takes us back to Genesis 2–3 to uncover God’s original design for manhood, how sin distorted it, and how Jesus restores what was broken.

God gives Adam—and every man—a Creator to know, a calling to fulfill, a command to obey, a companion to love, and ultimately a Christ to restore.

Biblical manhood isn’t about being the toughest or strongest. It’s about being faithful, taking responsibility, serving others, protecting what God has entrusted to you, and living for something bigger than yourself.

Men, the call is simple: Take your position. Stand watch. Live for Christ. Man the wall.

September 13th | Is This The End? | Matthew 24:36–51

Jesus is coming again. The question is: How will we live until He comes?

In this message, Pastor Matt Darby walks through Matthew 24 to show that Jesus’ return isn’t just something we’re called to believe—it’s something that should shape how we live. Because His return will be sudden, personal, and final, we are called to live with anticipation, readiness, and faithfulness.

What does faithfulness look like? Doing what Jesus has called us to do, stewarding what He has entrusted to us, and loving the people He puts in our path.

But Jesus also gives a sobering warning: it’s possible to look ready on the outside while being spiritually empty on the inside. The ultimate question isn’t, “Do I look like a Christian?” but “Do I truly belong to Christ?”

Jesus is coming. We don’t know when. So live ready. Live faithfully. And come to Jesus today.

September 13th | Is this the end? | Matthew 24-25

Are you ready for the return of Jesus?

In this sermon from Matthew 24–25, Pastor Peyton Coker challenges us to stop living distracted and start living prepared. Jesus’ return will be sudden, personal, and final—and while we don’t know the day or hour, we do know He is coming.

Through Jesus’ parables of the faithful servant, the talents, and the ten virgins, we’re confronted with three essential questions:

• Am I living with anticipation for Jesus?

• Am I walking faithfully with Jesus?

• Have I truly been saved by Jesus?

Being ready isn’t about predicting the date of Christ’s return or achieving perfection. It’s about faithfully following Jesus, leveraging what He has entrusted to us, serving the people in front of us, and making sure our faith is more than outward appearance.

The question isn’t simply, “Is this the end?” The better question is: “Am I ready?”

Jesus is coming. The mission is urgent. The time to prepare is now.
