New Life Church - Springfield

“Rub some dirt in it.” “Walk it off.” We’ve all heard those phrases — but what happens when that’s the advice we carry into our spiritual lives?
In this lighthearted yet powerful message, Pastor Joe Parker challenges the idea that healing and growth only come through toughness. Drawing from personal experience and biblical insight, Pastor Joe invites us to see that while God’s voice may not always sound how we expect, it always speaks to the heart.
This episode is a reminder that faith isn’t about pretending everything is okay — it’s about walking out the truth even when you’re limping. Through encouragement and grace, you’ll be reminded that you don’t have to walk alone, and you don’t have to fake your strength to keep going.

This week we’re diving into Living Aligned in Relationship. Relationships are where our faith and our humanity are tested the most—where boundaries, forgiveness, and mutuality either bring wholeness or leave us fragmented. In Romans 12:1–8, Paul shows us that living aligned with God means learning how to invite others into our lives with clear boundaries, how to forgive without erasing truth, and how to pursue mutuality instead of one-sided consuming. In this episode, we’ll explore the difference between boundaries and barriers, why real community requires both vulnerability and responsibility, and how endurance in relationships transforms you—not just your spouse, your friend, or your church, but you.

In this brief but powerful message, Pastor Joe Parker reminds us that belief isn’t just intellectual agreement — it’s the foundation we build our lives on. Scripture is filled with examples of belief, but not all belief leads to transformation. True belief shapes decisions, changes priorities, and strengthens our faith walk.
This message is a challenge to move beyond surface-level faith and plant your life firmly on the truth of God’s Word.

When life backs you into ‘a cave’—when you’re surrounded by darkness, disillusionment, and distress—can you still hear God’s voice?
 
In this heartfelt message, Pastor Dave Parker walks us through the Cave of Adullam, where David ran for his life and found something far greater than safety: he found the presence of God. Drawing from 1 Samuel 22 and the Psalms that flowed from David’s pain, Pastor Dave reminds us that the cave isn’t the end of the story—it’s often the birthplace of revelation.
 
Whether you’re weary, wounded, or just waiting for direction, this message speaks to the God who meets us in our darkest moments, not just with rescue, but with relationship.
Because even when everything feels quiet… He’s still speaking.

In Genesis 27, Isaac was deceived not by what he saw—but by what he felt and smelled. The voice didn’t match the scent. And that subtle mismatch changed everything.
In this eye-opening message, Pastor Joe Parker explores how spiritual deception often comes wrapped in the familiar. Through the story of Jacob and Esau—and the lingering scent of manipulation—we’re reminded that discernment doesn’t come through our senses alone. It comes from knowing the source.
Whether it’s the sweet fragrance of worship or the unsettling sense that “something’s off,” we’re called to test what we hear, feel, and follow. Because in a world full of spiritual noise, deception rarely shows up waving a flag. It usually just… smells off.

What if the anointing wasn’t just a spiritual buzzword... but a force that reshapes how you live, lead, and love? In this message, Pastor Joe Parker explores the quiet power behind true anointing—how it’s activated through submission, rooted in connection, and made for real-world impact.
This isn’t about hype. It’s about heaven’s purpose pressing into your everyday life. If you’ve been hungry for something real—something that breaks yokes and awakens your calling—this word is for you.

What happens when your plans don’t align with heaven’s? In this Spirit-led moment, Pastor Joe Parker sets aside a prepared message to follow the tug of the Holy Spirit—and what unfolds is a powerful call to the generations.
This isn’t about polished sermons. It’s about presence. It’s about fathers being charged, young people being stirred, and the kind of clarity that only comes when God speaks midstream. If you’ve ever needed permission to slow down and just listen… this one’s for you.

What if the kind of faith Jesus is calling you to doesn’t look like anyone else’s?
In this powerful message, Pastor Andrew Goodwin invites us to reimagine faith — not as something safe or polished, but as something bold enough to step out of the boat.
Using the familiar story of Peter walking on water, this isn’t just another reminder to “have faith.” It’s a challenge to believe, act, and look to Christ differently — even when the waves are high, and the crowd stays seated.
This episode will make you ask yourself:
What’s keeping me in the boat?
What if Jesus is inviting me into deeper waters?
If you’ve ever felt the tension between doubt and desire, or wondered what a real, raw faith looks like in 2025 — this one’s for you.
