New City Fellowship Sermons

Jesus is Man

The Bible teaches that Jesus was human. Not God pretending to be man. But truly and fully God, and truly and fully human. And like every human, Jesus was from a place. Like every human, Jesus had a way he referred to himself. But unlike every human, Jesus suffered for the rest of humanity.

Learn about Jesus from Nazareth, the Son of Man who suffered to the point that he was beyond recognition.

The Power of a Praying Church

The church is radically dependent on Jesus. But we don't always know it or live it. Prayer is the mechanism by which we depend on God for everything. Guest speaker Pastor John Thompson of Kainos Church ATL opens up Acts to show us the power of a praying church.

Psalm 63 - The God Who Satisfies

We live our lives looking to fill our hearts. But we often come up empty. David's pattern of worship in Psalm 63 shows us that worshiping God is not just eating vegetables because we have to. Rather, engaging our God truly fills our hearts.

Three Steps Back to God

We wish we didn't find ourselves stuck in sin. But we all have been there. How do we get out of our sin and back to God? Cody opens up Psalm 51 and explores David's three steps back to God after he committed adultery and murder.

Resurrected Bodies: You, But Not You

Will we have the same friends? Will we still be a man or woman? Will we be married? 

When we talk about the resurrection of our bodies, it is hard to imagine what it will be like. Pastor John opens up Jesus and Paul’s teaching to explore how your resurrected body will be you, but it won’t be the same you.

Sexed Bodies: Jesus & Gender

Did Jesus say anything about homosexuality or gender? Many think not. As we continue our series, Pastor John opens up Matthew 19 to explore “Sexed Bodies: Jesus and Gender”

Our Body & Our Identity

Bodies…fit, aging, attractive.

Bodies…black, white, brown.

Bodies…male, female.

What do our bodies say about who we are?

To answer that, we have to ask a deeper question: What does God say about our bodies and our identity?

Pastor John explores this question in our second sermon in our Following Jesus with our Bodies series.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Our bodies give us messages like pain, pleasure and arousal. We get messages about our bodies from advertisements, our doctors or what people say.

But what does God have to say about our bodies. In the first of four sermons, Pastor John explores what it means to be fearfully and wonderfully made.

Following Jesus When You Feeling Like Giving Up

What do you do when you want to give up? When you want to quit following Jesus? When you're stuck between a rock and a hard place and there doesn't seem a way out?

 

Cody opens up Psalms 142 when David is stuck in a cave to explore what he did when he wanted to give up.
