Follow
1 Cor 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. I have often wondered about fatherhood; its defined quality and purpose. Of course, the most natural definition is procreation and the rearing of children. While lines and definitions have changed in the modern age, the fact remains that fathers are […]

A Great Savior
Just so you know, Jesus is a greater Savior than we are a sinner! The distance that He came to save us is unfathomable. The human mind can barely compute Deity to Dust: Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death…” 1 Tim […]

Unless the Lord Builds the House
If I were to assign a biblical theme to New Life Fellowship, it would undoubtedly be drawn from the words of Solomon in Psalm 127:1 (NIV): “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” This “house” is far more […]

Remember
George Santayana is credited with the statement: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” While the comment has been reworded throughout the years, the concept is a settled truth. The Children of Israel served the Lord only to devolve into disobedience. They were often released into the hands of their oppressors […]

Set Your Face
Luke 9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, I often wonder of these transitions in the life of Jesus. His birth; brevity in the Temple, and the days in Cana with His mother. Jesus had a […]

Mother of Us All
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. The Bible writers often presented their messages in poetic, allegorical form. Scenes and sounds from their current day were used to express a message to their given audience. Jerusalem has always embodied the typology of the Church or of […]

He Will Sustain
Isa 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. It seems improbable that after all Israel had done; their abandonment and disobedience of God’s […]

The Journey
On the heels of the Red Sea crossing, the Children of Israel experienced a perplexing place. They walked for three days without fresh water. It caused them to question Moses’ leadership; his God-appointment being held in contempt. When they finally came to Marah, the pool of water was bitter and they could not drink it. […]

Resurrection Sunday
It was a borrowed tomb. In consideration of our day, Jesus did not use the tomb for very long. The place was very close to a hill they called Golgotha. It was a place where a wine press was placed in a small vineyard. The time of the Lord’s death also made it a very […]

Praise
The scriptural setting is hidden, yet profound. Jeroboam has rebelled against the Lord. He has surrounded Judah in front and from behind. The Bible says that Judah was being ambushed on both sides with no way out. That is when the king of Judah led them with a new strategy: they sounded the trumpets and […]
