New Life Irvine

Graduation season is upon us! Parents across the nation gather to celebrate the well-deserved accomplishments of their kids. If ever there is a time where our parental hopes and dreams rise to the surface, it is now. While every parent desires what's best for their kids, what differs from family to family is what that "good life" looks like. Join us this Sunday as we evaluate our parental dreams and aspirations in light of God's Word. We will discover true generational wealth and a legacy worth living for.

Evangelism can often feel intimidating and awkward. The very mention of the word can conjure up feelings of guilt and embarrassment. Much of this is due to misunderstandings of what it looks like, how we are to engage, and why God calls us to be His witnesses. 

Whether you feel confident sharing your faith or are unsure where to begin, Sunday's sermon offers practical encouragement for every believer as we look at the next installment of our Bless series on witness.

Our kind and loving God gives us a command to rest. The command to rest, like all of God’s commands, is actually a gift to us. Rest, however, is not ultimately found in an activity. It is found in a person. If you want rest, Jesus says, come to me.

The heart of Jesus for the lost is beautifully demonstrated in the story of the woman at the well. From heaven to Jerusalem to Samaria, Jesus leaves the 99 to go after the 1. This is Jesus, love in its purest and most compelling form. 

This Sunday, we turn to one of the most familiar—and unsettling—teachings of Jesus: the Parable of the Good Samaritan. It’s a story many of us think we know well. But beneath its simplicity lies a piercing question: what does real mercy actually look like? We’ll explore how mercy interrupts our routines, challenges our assumptions, and calls us to love beyond comfort and convenience. Join us as we discover what it means to live a life marked by mercy.

We’ve all seen the "Welcome" mats. They sit at our front doors, looking charming and inviting. But let’s be honest. Do we really have a heart that"welcomes" the stranger, the lonely, and the hurting? Hospitality these days is more about impressing and entertaining rather than connecting and engaging. The Gospel however shapes a very different posture and practice that is crucial to the health of a flourishing faith. Join us this Sunday as we learn how the Gospel makes room at the table for us which then empowers us to make room at the table for others.

This Sunday, we continue our Pillars of a Flourishing Faith series as we unpack what it looks like to "Bless." Specifically, we will show how a life that beholds, belongs, and becomes, will inevitably produce a life that loves. Love is the acid test of spiritual formation. It is the barometer that gauges whether or not we are truly growing or just faking. Join us as we discover how and why a life that embodies and exudes love is a goal for every Christian.

This Sunday we return to our series Pillars of a Flourishing Faith. We will begin to look at the final pillar: Bless. God has called each of us to be a "living sacrifice." We will see how this calling is to be done with our gifts, not out of guilt.

This Easter, we’re not settling for clichés about hope—we’re facing the reality we spend most of our lives avoiding: death. In a culture obsessed with staying young and living longer, we rarely stop to ask what happens when we can’t outrun the inevitable. But Scripture doesn’t tell us to ignore death or to simply embrace it. Scriptures tells us how Jesus defeated it. Join us as we explore why the resurrection changes everything and gives us more than comfort. It grants us victory.

This Sunday, we cover the opening ceremony of the most important week in human history: Jesus' triumphal entry. Thousands of followers welcome him into Jerusalem with a parade fit for a king. With palm branches wildly waving and triumphal hymns being sung, the atmosphere was absolutely electric. Yet, in the midst of the jubilant hoopla, there is one whose countenance is solemn. There is one who weeps. Join us this Sunday as we explore the beautiful grief of Palm Sunday.
