New Life Christian Fellowship Jacksonville Sermon of the Week

In this Palm Sunday message from the GOOD NEWS series, Pastor Paul Zink II shows how the life, miracles, death, and resurrection of Jesus caused His name to spread like wildfire across the world. From the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the prophecies of Psalm 118 and Zechariah 9 being fulfilled, this sermon highlights why Jesus is not just a good teacher or a shepherd—He is the King, the suffering Savior, and the Son of God.

Pastor Paul also unpacks the raising of Lazarus, the crowd shouting “Hosanna,” and the tragic reality that many celebrated Jesus one week and rejected Him the next. With urgency and clarity, he calls every listener to recognize the time of visitation, choose faith, and go public with a decision to follow Christ.

In this energetic and hope-filled message from the Good News Series, Senior Associate Pastor Jeremy Henderson dives into one of the most dramatic miracles in the Gospels—the healing of the paralyzed man lowered through the roof in Capernaum (Mark 2). Rooted in the miracle-rich city of Capernaum, Pastor Jeremy unpacks two powerful truths: God meets us at our limit, and God's intervention sometimes looks different than we expect.​With honesty, humor, and biblical depth, Pastor Jeremy reveals why most of us spend our lives just trying to "keep it together"—managing outcomes, controlling image, and pushing harder—until life puts us in a situation we cannot control. What happens when you hit that wall and say "I just can't"? That's exactly where God shows up.​Discover why Jesus' response to the paralyzed man surprised everyone, what the Greek word pistus (faith) really means, why miracles are signs that point to something greater than themselves, and why God is not interested in "duct tape" fixes—He's after full transformation from the inside out.​This message will challenge you to stop trying harder in your own strength and start saying: "I anticipate the inevitable supernatural intervention of God."

What do you do when what you have just isn't enough?In this message from our Good News series, Pastor Jeremy Henderson dives into one of the most remarkable miracles in all four Gospels — the Feeding of the 5,000 — and unpacks what it reveals about who Jesus is and what He can do with the little you have to offer.Drawing from Mark 6:30–44, Pastor Jeremy brings the story of Jesus feeding a crowd of 15,000–20,000 people with nothing more than a boy's lunch — five loaves and two fish — to life in a fresh and powerful way.Here's the big idea: God can work with the little that you have.In this message, you'll discover:

• Why the Feeding of the 5,000 is one of only two miracles recorded in all four Gospels — and what that significance means for you
• How this miracle reveals that God is ridiculously in charge — and nothing is outside of His authority
• Why Jesus tested His disciples in the middle of the miracle, and what He was really after
• How God doesn't just work for you — He invites you to partner with Him in His miraculous work
• How God transforms what we fully surrender to Him — whether it's your time, treasure, talent, or even your distress and dysfunction

Whether you're overwhelmed by what you don't have — money, time, peace, or energy — this message is your reminder that your limitations don't limit God.📖 Scripture References: Mark 6:30–44 | John 6:5–6 | 2 Kings 4:42–44 | Ephesians 3:20 | Psalm 103:19 | 1 Corinthians 3:9

Who do YOU say Jesus is?That's the question at the heart of this powerful message from Pastor Paul Zink II, part of our ongoing Good News series. Drawing from Matthew 16:13–18, Pastor Paul unpacks one of the most defining moments in Jesus' ministry — when He stood at Caesarea Philippi, a site steeped in pagan worship known as the Gates of Hell, and asked His disciples: "Who do men say that I am?"Peter's answer — "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God" — became the unshakeable foundation upon which the entire Church is built. And Jesus declared: the gates of hell will not prevail against it.In this message, you'll discover:

• Why where Jesus asked this question matters as much as what He asked
• The historical and spiritual significance of Caesarea Philippi as a place of pagan worship
• Why Jesus is territorial about His Church — and what that means for you
• How John 17 reveals that God loves you as much as He loves Jesus
• The authority believers carry and how to walk in it

Whether you've followed Jesus for decades or you're still asking the question yourself — this message will challenge and encourage you to settle, once and for all, who Jesus really is.📖 Scripture References: Matthew 16:13–18 | John 17:22 | Acts 9 | Matthew 28

In this powerful opening message of "The Good News" series—leading up to Easter and Resurrection Weekend—Pastor Paul Zink II takes us to the Jordan River where one of the most earth-shattering moments in history took place: the baptism of Jesus. Discover why Jesus, the sinless Son of God, chose to be baptized, what the Voice from Heaven declaring "This is my Son, whom I love" really means, and why the Trinity was on full display at the water's edge.​Pastor Zink unpacks the remarkable life of John the Baptist—the last Old Testament prophet, first cousin of Jesus, and the man whose ministry went viral across Jerusalem and Judea—and explores why his declaration "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" was either the greatest sacrilege or the most important announcement ever made.​This message also dives into the three baptisms of a believer, the power of the Holy Spirit-filled life, and why God has called you not just to make heaven—but to make history.​Key Topics: Baptism of Jesus | John the Baptist | The Trinity | Holy Spirit | Spirit-Filled Life | Matthew 3 | Acts 10:38 | Exodus 31 | Intercession | Good News Series

In “God Is King: Broken in Babylon,” Pastor Paul Zink II unpacks what it means to stand for God in a culture that looks more like Babylon than Israel. Drawing from Judges, Daniel, Jeremiah 29, and the story of the Azusa Street revival, he challenges believers not to hide from a dark world but to shine the light of Jesus in it—praying for our city, resisting compromise, and trusting God to work miracles in hostile territory. Learn why the real danger isn’t Babylon outside the church, but a sleepy church inside Babylon, and why our prayer must be not “Lord, take me out of Babylon,” but “Lord, don’t let Babylon take You out of me.”

In this powerful message, Pastor Paul Zink II unpacks what it really means to “lose your mind” and be transformed by the renewing of your mind in Christ. Using the example of Thomas Jefferson’s attempt to cut miracles out of the Bible, Pastor Paul warns against a powerless gospel and reminds us that Christianity is not just good morals—it is resurrection life through the power of the Holy Spirit.
From 1 Corinthians to Romans 12, he explores the three conditions of humanity: the natural man, the carnal Christian, and the spiritual man, and calls believers to crucify the flesh daily, pursue the presence of God, and grow into maturity. With personal stories, practical insights, and a prophetic challenge, this message is a call to a deeper life in the Spirit—one that walks in faith, power, and true transformation.

In this heartfelt and deeply personal message, Pastors Thomas and Rachel Zink call the church back to the feet of Jesus—back to the place of intimacy, surrender, and devotion. Drawing from Hebrews 4, Philippians 2, and the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, they remind us that Jesus is not a distant God. He is the High Priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses, the Servant King who emptied Himself, and the Savior who longs for us to draw near.

With vulnerable stories, powerful scripture, and real-life moments of grace, this message invites every listener to lay aside shame, distraction, and striving—and simply sit with the One who knows us completely. If you’ve felt unworthy, overwhelmed, or spiritually dry, this message is an invitation to return to the only place where true transformation begins: at His feet.
