Newsong Fellowship

As we look back to the garden to understand God's design in creation, we learn that what God declared as "good" was much more profound than we had imagined

Pastor Lindsey talks with Shelly Romoser and Kelly Caringer-Romoser about learning and living the joy and beauty of motherhood

"Shalom" was how the Hebrew people and prophets described what God wanted and where the human story was headed. What that looks like in the garden, then, is the much needed lens to understand how to live in "new creation" now

To understand God's intent for life now, in the "already here but not yet fully realized" reality of "new creation", you have to understand what his design and intention has been from the very beginning

Pastor Dave begins a new series designed to help us understand what it means to live in the "new creation" that is set in motion with the resurrection of Jesus

The resurrection of Jesus is a cornerstone of the gospel of the Kingdom. The real question may be whether we have the same understanding of its significance as did the early Christians

In his final expression of those who are blessed in the Kingdom, Jesus declares that the final group are those who are persecuted for the sake of the Kingdom. How does Jesus go from peacemakers to persecution? Is there a reason that this the last beatitude?

In our first live stream of The Gathering, Pastor Dave interviews and baptizes Sawyer Simmons and Megan O'Neal

Newsong launches its first live stream service as a measure of wisdom in terms of the need for social distancing balanced by the value of community and connection as a community of faith.

As Jesus nears the end of his announcement of those who are blessed in the kingdom of God, he pronounces a blessing on “peacemakers”. Once again, to capture the full scope of this word - used only one time in the New Testament -you have to understand the bigger picture of the story of God at work in human history... What does Jesus mean by “peacemaker”?

The beatitudes may be some of the most misunderstood statements of Jesus, with “Blessed are the pure in heart...” perhaps near the top of the list. As usual, Jesus reveals a strategic and extremely significant truth about life in the Kingdom that is easy to miss - and usually is

As Jesus continues his declarations of those who are blessed, painting a picture of the “good life” available to all who would seek it, the narrative arc of his discourse begins to reveal a progression. “Blessed are the merciful...” is a strategic and incredibly difficult shift

It’s natural to read the Scriptures and draw conclusions about what it means. What doesn’t come naturally is the knowledge that we all have “lenses” through which we’re interpreting and understanding what we’re reading. When Jesus blesses those who “hunger and thirst for righteousness”... is he saying what we generally think he’s saying?

In his declaration of blessing upon the meek, Jesus reminds his audience - then and now - how the story of humanity and creation actually ends and invites us to rethink how we see the world in light of our pursuit of “the good life” | Family Moment: Pastor Lindsey interviews Ashley Criley for an update on Sensory City

In his announcement that those who mourn are blessed, Jesus casts a vision that overturns the prevailing assumptions of all those who’ve known suffering and loss as he unveils a new reality now present in the rule of God

Jesus makes a declaration that overturns the assumptions in his day - and for much of Christian history - about whom God blesses by inviting them to the life of the kingdom

Jesus, the master teacher, opens his most thorough and strategic talk with a declaration that sets the tone for his revolutionary message of good news

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole. We all live in our present Time yet we continually look back or forward to what time is holding for us. Whether it is a memory, a dream of what could be, hidden deep down or on the surface, all of us are in a fight with time. So how would your life look if time becomes a friend rather than the enemy, and what does our Faith and Spiritual Formation look like when we allow God to direct our time?

Pastor Dave wraps up the series with a brief recap of some of the major ideas, some thoughts on one of the two most critical practices for life in the Kingdom, and a simple "beginner's guide" to experience the Kingdom life

Jesus is always teaching at the level of helping us understand how to live a certain kind of life… life with him in the reality of the Kingdom. As we begin a new year, Jesus offers insight into how to live a life that results in our capacity to be free of worry. What may be surprising is how we get there
