Our words hold incredible power—they can build up or tear down, bring life or death. Like a small spark can ignite a forest fire, what we say matters. Fill yourself with God's Word so when pressure comes, only Jesus flows out. Choose life with your words today.

This week, we had the privilege of hearing from guest speaker Dr. Jason Darden of Searcy Church of Christ. His message centered on a powerful and timely theme: reaching our city and beyond for Jesus. Through his own ministry journey, Dr. Darden encouraged us to think intentionally about how we engage the people around us. The call was simple but challenging. If we want to see lives changed, we must be willing to step out, serve faithfully, and meet people where they are. As a church, we were reminded that impact does not happen by accident. It happens when God’s people get busy loving, serving, and investing in their community. This message will inspire you to look at your city with fresh eyes and renewed purpose. How is God calling you to serve? How can we be a church that reaches beyond our walls?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/49566763Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143

Does pain mean you are outside of God’s plan? In this message, we challenge the idea that “everything happens for a reason” and explore how God’s plan works in a broken world. We look at systems, sovereignty, human choice, and chance, and why suffering does not mean God has left you. If you are hurting, struggling, or confused, this sermon will help you see God’s presence in the middle of pain.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/49544546Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

In this message, we step back into the waiting, longing, and hope surrounding the birth of Jesus. For generations, God’s people lived in silence, holding onto promises of a coming King while wondering if God had grown distant. When the prophecy declared, “Your King is coming,” it was not just good news. It was a reminder that God had not forgotten them. This sermon explores why the Christmas story still matters, even when the wonder feels worn down by busyness, routine, and repetition. It challenges the idea that boredom is harmless, and instead invites us to rediscover the weight and beauty of the most extraordinary story ever told. Jesus did not come to offer more rules or religion. He came to meet us where we are, to close the gap we could never cross on our own, and to show us what it means to have a King who is with us. This is a reminder that Christmas is not an ordinary story, because we were never an ordinary people. We were a broken world in need of a Savior, and the King we were waiting for came closer than we ever imagined.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://events.bible.com/en/Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

In this message, we talk honestly about generosity and why it matters for the life of the church and the life of every believer. This is not a message about pressure or guilt, but about building a healthy, biblical culture of giving that flows from the heart. If you are a guest, this message is not aimed at you, but it may still be for you. If New Life is your home church, this is a reminder of who we are called to be and how we can collectively impact lives through faith and generosity.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/49532496Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

This weekend we welcomed pastor Travis Eades from Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, for a message built around one simple truth. God is still with us in our fear. The first human response to the birth of Jesus was fear, but God answered that fear with His presence. Throughout Scripture, every “do not fear” comes with a promise that God is near, God is working, and God is holding what we cannot. If you have been carrying anxiety, pressure, sleepless nights, or a heart full of “what ifs,” this message offers real hope. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://bible.com/events/49527260Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

This week’s message looks at what it really means to live with a thankful heart. Using the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, we talk about why gratitude matters, how it shapes our relationships, and how choosing thankfulness can change the way we walk through everyday life. As we head into Thanksgiving, this is a simple reminder to slow down, notice the good, and respond with a grateful spirit.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/49526176Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word eternity? For many of us, it was shaped by childhood moments filled with fear, confusion, and even a little panic. In this message, Pastor Kevin revisits one of his earliest church memories and shows how the hope of heaven slowly drifted in church history from something joyful to something frightening. We pray this message fills your heart with peace and confidence as you look toward the future God has promised.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://bible.com/events/49514385Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

Church isn’t just something we attend—it’s something we belong to. In this message, we look at what it means to be truly connected to the local church through giving, serving, and building real relationships. When we choose to get involved, our faith grows stronger, our community gets better, and God works through us in powerful ways.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49514384Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

Misinformation is powerful. It spreads fast, twists truth, and can change how we see God, others, and even ourselves. From the Garden of Eden to our modern world of endless information, the enemy still uses deception to distort what God says and how we live. In this message, we look at how the serpent’s subtle question—“Did God really say?”—set humanity on a path of confusion and compromise, and how we can guard our hearts from deceptive ideas, distorted desires, and destructive behaviors.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49514383Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

In a world that celebrates busyness, it’s easy to believe our value comes from what we do. But in Luke 10, Jesus reminds Martha that Mary “has chosen what is better.” This message looks at how we often get trapped by distraction, pride, and people-pleasing—mistaking activity for identity—and how to refocus on what truly matters: being present with Jesus. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overworked, or disconnected from God, this is your reminder to slow down, sit at His feet, and rediscover the one thing that matters most. Scripture: Luke 10:38–42Main Idea: Who you are determines what you do—not the other way around.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49512439Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

This week we wrap up our Annual Vision Series with a powerful message about our external mission—our invitation to go. Through the story in Numbers 21, we’re reminded that following God’s call isn’t easy. People are fickle, life gets hard, and living out your faith will require grit. But just like the bronze snake lifted up in the wilderness, there’s still a cure that works—and it’s found in Jesus. Pastor Kevin challenges us not just to look at the cure, but to deliver it. Whether it’s serving in outreach, helping the hungry, supporting schools, or joining missions, the call to go is for every believer. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to step into what God is calling you to—this is it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49500024Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

In this message, we look at one of Jesus’ parables from Matthew 22 — the story of a king throwing a wedding banquet for his son. What begins as a familiar invitation quickly becomes a powerful picture of transformation. Jesus shows us that everyone is invited, but not everyone chooses to change. This isn’t about what you wear to church — it’s about letting God clothe you in something new. He doesn’t just invite you to the table; He invites you to be made new. 📖 Scripture Focus: Matthew 22:1–14------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49500023Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

This weekend, Pastor Kevin launches our Annual Vision Series with a powerful reminder that the church is a table. Just like in Luke 14, God is inviting every person to take their seat and be part of what He’s building. This message challenges us to move from the crowd to the core by serving, giving, and growing together as one church family. There’s a seat for you here, and the table isn’t full yet.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49500022Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.

Life can feel chaotic, especially when the world around us seems filled with conflict and pain. In this message, we explore how to go deeper in our faith, finding peace and clarity beneath the surface where God’s presence is steady and unshaken. Pastor Kevin challenges us to live as real Christians — people who actively follow Jesus, bear good fruit, and keep our focus on eternity. Instead of tearing each other down, we are called to speak life, encourage one another, and live with urgency for what truly matters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49497762Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143 For more information on our campus, email us at [email protected] or visit newlifechurch.tv.
