New Life Wichita

Envy causes us to compare and compete with others in an unhealthy way. It brings arrogance when we're winning and discouragement when we're not. It's like chasing after the wind. How do we stop envy from controlling us?

When it comes to guilt, many of us either wallow in it by reliving the past or deny it by making excuses. Guilt causes us to be out of balance. How do we stop guilt from controlling us?

Fear. Anxiety. Guilt. Anger. What is the primary emotion that competes for control of your life? Today, we begin a brand new message series that deals with the emotions and voices within us that compete for control. First, let's look at the heart. 

What do you think Jesus believes is the biggest threat to us today? It's easy to believe that the church's greatest threat comes from outside the church. Unfortunately, the church's greatest threat is from within. The good news is that Jesus never intended it to be this way. In this message, you'll discover what it means to be the church of Jesus. You'll learn that it's a movement of Jesus in our community, for our community, and for the world.   

Have you ever felt the wonder and awe connected to what God has done in the world? Towards God's love and grace towards you? Have you lost that sense of wonder and awe? It's time to get it back. It matters!

What we call "church" didn't begin as a place or a building. It started as a movement envisioned and launched by Jesus. Those who accepted his message were bold, confident, and courageous but were never rude. We should take note and continue to follow their example! In this message, we explore more! 

For us as Christians, sometimes, the easiest thing to do is nothing. But we have the honor and responsibility to provide for the next generation what we wish the previous generation had provided for us. This may require us to inconvenience ourselves for something greater than ourselves because what God wants to do in and through us is a big deal!

Jesus's death was a final payment for my sins and yours. But when the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do to live out Jesus's transformational teachings and commands? It was clear then (as it should be today) that the answer was not to become jerks in his name. Listen to learn more!

God's name has been stamped repeatedly by Christians on behavior that He finds despicable. When the church (or a church) loses its way, people get hurt, and the movement of Jesus suffers. So, how did the church drift so far, and what should the Jesus movement really look like? Listen in, and you'll discover that it was never about a building but something more significant than that!

Heaven will not be equal, and we should not want it to be. What we live here determines what we will have there, and ultimately, Heaven is not our final destination. In this message, we wrap up our series on Justice & Judgment for All.
