Continuing the series, Fiercely Present, Senior Pastor Dr. Tim Johnson examines Matthew 6:5-8 where Jesus tells us how we are to pray. We are to find a place where we can be alone and be concise as He knows what we need before we even ask. In Matthew 6:15-18 Jesus reminds us that when we fast to not make obvious as the Father knows.

In this message of the series, Fiercely Present, Senior Pastor Dr. Tim Johnson looks at John 15:1-8. Being fiercely present means aligning our schedules and habits with what really matters especially time with God. We are the branches attached to the vine (Jesus) and we are to be fiercely present for two things: focusing on the vine and to hold the fruit (being disciples). However it is easy to be distracted so it is important to look at what Jesus modeled for us by getting away from the distractions of life.

In the introduction of the series, Fiercely Present, Dr. Tim Johnson uses Psalm 62:5-8 (NLT), Lamentations 3:22-26 and Matthew 11:28-30 to define what it means to  be fiercely present. It is focused living by aligning our schedules and habits with what really matters. Why? Because God's mercies are new every day. He is good to those whose hope is in him and to those who rest and seek him. However this can be hard with living life and its distractions. Jesus offers a new way to carry life by offering equipment. New Covenant Community Church, 6000 S. 84th St., Lincoln, NE, 68516. (audio message)

Pastor of Adult Discipleship Brent Watson concludes the series The Face of God by looking at John 11: 1-54. This story, about the death of Lazarus, is one of the most important events in the ministry of Jesus. None of the groups involved (disciples, Mary and Martha, or the Jews) could see beyond the fact that Jesus healed the sick. However, He exceeded their expectations by raising Lazarus and He can exceed our expectations as well. We need to live in light of who He is, change our perspective of what He can do in us and need to realize that nothing is too big for Him.

In the Christmas Eve message of the series, The Face of God, Pastor of Family Ministries Troy Heller looks at John 3:16-18. God does not want us to follow a bunch of rules in order to follow Him.

In this message in the Christmas series, The Face of God, Dr. Tim Johnson looks at John 1:1-5, 14. Jesus did not come to impress, but to impact and desires to be close to us.

Continuing the Christmas series, The Face of God, Dr. Tim Johnson looks at Isaiah 53:4-6 and Galatians 4:4-7. Like Isaiah, we need to not limit God to what we can see, understand or control.

In this message of the Christmas series, The Face of God, Dr. Tim Johnson explores the mystery of God (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-3, Hebrews 1:3-4): how He created out of nothing, that Jesus exists and that He has God sized plans for us. If we are compelled to control everything, then we leave no room for God to work in our lives and through us. New Covenant Community Church, 6000 S. 84th St., Lincoln, NE, 68516. (audio message)

In the first message of the Christmas series, The Face of God, Founding Pastor Dr. Brett Yohn reminds us of the value of waiting by looking at Deuteronomy 8:25 and how God led the Israelites out of  Egypt and how they wandered the wilderness for forty years in order to create anticipation, build character and  how it revealed self-centeredness. Waiting has great benefits for our spiritual and personal maturity; it is an uncomfortable gift. New Covenant Community Church, 6000 S. 84th St., Lincoln, NE, 68516. (audio message)
