New Creation Albuquerque

In Luke 12:13-34 declares that Jesus is unmasking the false security of money, unraveling our anxieties, and offering us lasting security in fearless generosity. 

Josh Harrelson declares the good news from Luke 10:25-37, proclaiming that we can neighbor with gospel love because God has neighbored us. We have to get a neighbor to be a neighbor, receiving the love of God that awakens our heart to love others without limits.

II Kings 5:1-14 proclaims the good news that our identity, security and significance is not based on our work, but on consenting to God's work. Jesus exposes the lies that we labor under: We are what we do, have, and/or what others think/say about us. God calls us out from these false stories of identity into relationship with him that is one of consenting to his work already done and continually being done in our lives.

Romans 5:1-8 proclaims the good news that, in Christ, our suffering is a meeting place with our co-suffering, all-loving God. And, it is in this place, that God does some of His most gracious and healing work.

Guest preacher, Justin Richter, encourages us on the path toward unity in a diversity of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences from the book of Colossians.

In John 13:31-35 Jesus invites his disciples into the kind of love he has brought and nurtured among the disciples and in the world. We are called and enabled to love as Jesus loved us. God is at work building a community of "differents."

Jesus shows us what God is really like and invites us to follow this God in an eternal kind of life here and now, forever. John 10:22-31 reveals to us this good news and calls us to allow Jesus to confront the God we invent through our preferences, experiences and theological backgrounds. Will we follow the God revealed in Jesus, or pick up stones to kill him?

It has been said that, reconciliation is God's language for a broken world. The reconciling love of God is reaching to us and through us no matter what divides us. In Christ, God is reconciling the world to Himself, and we have been given the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:19). We see this powerfully demonstrated through Jesus reconciliation with Peter in John 21:1-19.

The Good News of Resurrection is that we are free to be held and compelled by love alone. In a world held by hurt, anger, bitterness, greed, violence and all manner of sin, Jesus frees us to be held and compelled by love. Through the lens of Mary Magdalene's encounter with the resurrected Christ, we see love has won and has always been God's posture towards us.

The peace of God is for you, his peace is for us, and his peace is for the world. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, he comes as a different kind of king bringing a different kind of peace.
