New Life Church - Springfield

What if the place you thought was your breaking point... was actually where grace begins?
In this week’s message, Pastor Joe invites us to rethink the boundaries we put around ourselves, our healing, and even God. Maybe grace isn’t just what covers us when we fail — maybe it’s what carries us when we can’t move forward on our own.
If you’ve ever wondered how long your pain will last, or whether God still sees you in it, this message is for you.

In today’s message, Pastor Joe unpacks what it really means to live a life of worship—not just in music or moments, but in mindset, sacrifice, and surrender. He reminds us that true worship isn’t about performance or preference—it’s about presence.
Drawing from Luke 5-30-19 & 2 Kings 5:1-14 and other foundational scriptures, we’re invited to reconsider what “our kind” of worship looks like when it’s shaped more by heaven than by habit. Whether you’re raising your hands, raising your kids, or raising your voice in the hard places—worship is a response, not a style.
Take a moment, lean in, and ask yourself: What kind of worship is God calling me into today?

Sowing may seem like a small effort, but it’s never in vain. Trust in the Holy Spirit to prepare the ground, and continue sowing in faith. God can take what you sow and multiply it in ways you can’t imagine, bringing an abundant harvest that far exceeds the seed. Keep sowing, for the harvest is promised!

This week’s sermon reflects on Elizabeth’s prophetic blessing to Mary and the power of unwavering faith in God’s promises. Through the stories of Mary and Elizabeth, Pastor Joe explores the profound truth that “blessed are those who believe.” Join us as we uncover the heart of the Christmas story and its call to trust in God’s perfect plan for our lives.

Using the story of Exodus as a backdrop, Pastor Joe reminds us that while God is not the author of confusion, we may still experience confusion when we can't see the bigger picture of His plan. But trusting in God can bring peace even when we're unsure of what’s ahead.

Restore the wells of faith, hope, and spiritual nourishment. Just as Isaac uncovered the wells his father had dug, we too must reclaim the sources of our spiritual sustenance. This call to resilience is a reminder that while challenges may arise, the Living Water of God is always available to refresh and renew us. So, let us dig again, uncover those wells, and experience the abundant life God promises us.

Rev. Tim Blevins delivers a meaningful message encouraging us to hold fast to the promises of God, that they would be our anchor during high sea trials.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Joe warns us of the dangers of taking on ourselves the aroma of God's Glory. We are meant to be lights that lead people to Him, not to us.
