Jesus had 20 silent years of training and growing before He began His ministry, and yet the Father’s first words after His baptism were “This is my son, in whom I am well-pleased.” Just like Jesus, God invites us to find our identity not in what we do, but in who we are. This week, Pastor Hannah reminds us to seek the One who gives us our identity.

When Jesus was born, people came from far away to honor Him. We all know the story of the three wise men who were given a vision from God, but their journey to find Jesus took time. The same can be true for us; it’s not that we don’t have the right vision - it’s that we often misinterpret the timing and true purpose of that vision. This week, Pastor Brandon reminds us that when we aren’t sure what’s next, we can still always give God our hope, our pursuit, and our worship.

Often when we walk through a valley, we can feel distant from God. In the "valley" is where we feel our pain and our sadness most deeply. Even in those lower moments, we can remember this: although we get to enjoy God on the mountaintops, we get to know Him more intimately in the valleys. This week, Pastor Hannah talks about allowing Jesus to reframe the valley for us.

We live in a world where NOW is the norm - instant gratification runs rampant. But still we find ourselves in daily situations where we're forced to wait, and some of those waiting periods carry more weight than others. We may wonder, "Why is God making me wait in this season?", but scripture reminds us that just because God feels silent, it doesn’t mean God is absent. This week, Pastor Brandon encourages us that even while we are waiting, God is still working.  

Only one thing in life is truly a sure thing: we already know how the story ends when it comes to our faith in Jesus. And when you have the end in mind, you don't need to worry; you can focus on what matters. To close out our series on the Gospels this week, Pastor Brandon dives into the gospel of Matthew, where Jesus affirms that He is coming back for us, so we can live our lives with assurance and with purpose.

Sometimes, we can start to feel drained by the things in our lives that require our time and energy - like we're just running on empty. But that's not the life God has in store for us; He has a life in store us where we can continuously be filled up with His Spirit. This week, Pastor Hannah takes us into the Gospel of John, where we discover that the tomb was made empty so our lives don’t have to be.

Do miracles still happen today? The gospel of Mark records many of the miracles of Jesus. This week, Pastor Brandon reminds us that Jesus is still working miracles today, and He wants to mark each of our lives with miracles.

The Gospel of Luke is the gospel of prayer. Jesus was never hurried, busied or distracted, and He invites us to follow the WAY to life into a rhythm of rest. This week, Pastor Hannah continues our series on the Gospels with a message all about applying what Jesus modeled for us to our own lives.

In our culture, it is not hard to hear bad news. But just because there’s a lot of bad news that gets pushed, there is also good news. Jesus came to bring the good news, and we are called to share this message with the world. Come and discover the good news of Jesus: He came, He died, He rose again, He Ascended, and He’s coming back!

God has used New Community to help so many ONES experience the full life of Jesus: knowing God, finding freedom, discovering purpose, making a difference.
