Newsong Fellowship

Many are familiar with the "turn the other cheek" expression and Jesus' teaching along those lines from the "Sermon on the Mount". But what if we've misunderstood what he's really trying to say? But what if the message isn't really what it appears to be on the surface.. and there's something deeper and more profoundly Kingdom-oriented just beneath it?

Jesus segues from divorce to oaths and challenges us to understand and wrestle with the power of our words

Both services combine on EPIC Sunday to worship, celebrate baptism and hear stories of transformation in the lives of students

Building on themes given earlier in his great Sermon on the Mount Jesus was entering into a long-standing conversation, engaging the world around him, and addressing injustices all surrounding divorce. Perhaps his words on the matter have a lot more to offer than we might have initially thought. Perhaps he's beckoning the Church to seek justice for the hurt.

As a river flows, so does the love and mercy of our ever-pursuant God. Discover what Ezekiel's prophecy and vision in Ezekiel 47:1-12 says to us about God's promise of restoration and hope. Wherever the river flows, life will flourish.

Jesus continues his strategic teaching on what it looks like to live in the Kingdom of God by addressing the dangers of the lustful heart. With a brilliant, if not absurd "wake up call", he targets an element of our humanity that we tend to minimize, and invites us to consider its vast potential for destruction

Pick up any paper, watch the news on any network and the top stories will almost always center around some kind of tragedy that emerged from the depths of an angry heart. In his sermon on the mount, Jesus strategically begins this section of the discourse by addressing the hidden and deadly power of anger that's left to simmer unchecked.

For many, the primary experience of the Christian faith is as a religious system consisting of specific "do's and don'ts" to adhere to. While there's some truth to that being part of the journey, it's not what Jesus saw as God's "end goal" or the greatest desire for His children. Throughout his ministry, Jesus kept insisting that there was a better way to live... a better way of being in the world. He called it "eternal life" or the "Kingdom of Heaven" and discovering how to experience life in that reality changes everything.

Pastor Grant recognizes Newsong's graduates & Pastor Lindsey interviews Kent & Erin Moore as they share their story of faith, struggle and community

If the church is to live out it's primary calling to live as a display of the Kingdom of God so that others might be drawn to Him and find the life Jesus kept insisting was available here and now through him, can that be transformative in their lives and in the world around them? If so, how?

Central to the story of God rescuing and restoring creation is the simple practice of sharing a meal. What is it about this simple blessing that creates such a sacred space for a transformative experience?

Pastor Dave unpacks the vision of Newsong to reveal the clear calling and strategy for our journey together as a Kingdom community

In our culture, love is often seen as primarily an emotion... A response based on attraction or pleasure. However, the biblical picture of love is far more robust and substantial and is the only means of navigating the challenges of a relationship moving towards unity in light of our differences.

For the church to become and function as "an undivided oneness of differents", we must grasp the profound gift called simply "grace" and give it room to transform our way of moving in the world

For many, the Church is the primary instrument for shaping what the Christian life looks like and how to go about living it out. So, an important question would be... is the Church an accurate reflection of God's intention?

Both services come together to worship, celebrate with those being baptized, and hear from Newsong's newest Elders

Cathy Daus teaches through the Biblical basis for participating in "tikun olam" and God's grand creation story

The resurrection of Jesus, as experienced by his early followers, was a subversive counter-narrative with implications for what participating with Jesus in the restoration and reconciliation of all things would like from that point forward.

The long awaited dialogue between God and Job is over. How does Job respond and what can we learn for our own journey through pain and suffering?

Job comes to "the end of his words" and, as God responds, there is very little in terms of the answers Job - or the rest of us - tend to want or expect. Instead, God crafts a brilliant discourse that points to larger realities that Job appears to find helpful in his wrestling with the deep questions of his suffering and God's goodness.
