No matter what you do, everyone eventually faces some storms in life. What does it take to build the kind of life that can survive any storm?

Even with all the good things in life, it is easy to still feel like something is missing. We never feel fully satisfied. What do we need to do to find the fulfillment we are really after?

Have you ever started to wonder if God was holding out on you? That’s where the first cracks in the human story began: one question about God’s goodness, then shame, then hiding. But when Adam and Eve hid, God came looking for them. He still meets us in the places we’re most asha

There is one thing that God explicitly says is NOT GOOD for us. What is it and how do we make sure we step into the good that God has for us?

You know your name, where you're from, what you do and other parts of your story. But what if you still don't know the most important part of your story?

We love to research our ancestry or other information about our own family history. But there is an even greater story about your life that goes all the way back to the beginning of time.

Whether it's a great movie or a best-selling book, we love stories. But sometimes we don't love our own story because it feels boring or insignificant or wasted. What is there is more to your story? What if God is writing a story that is greater than any other story ever told?

In this message from New Hills Church, we look at Hebrews 12 and discover why the people around us can shape the way we run the race of faith. God gives us examples from those who have gone before us, Christian community for the race we're running today, and ultimately Jesus—the perfect runner who never leaves us to finish alone. If you've felt isolated, spiritually disconnected, or like you've been trying to carry your faith by yourself, this message is a reminder that biblical community isn't something we simply find or consume. It's something we build. You get one short life. Don't run it alone. Find your running partners, fix your eyes on Jesus, and Run to Win.

All of our lives are headed toward a clear finish line. How can we make sure we finish the race of life in victory?

Life is hard. There are so many challenges that come our way and it can be easy to have moments where you want to throw in the towel. How do we make sure we don't give up and live the life we were made to live?

So many things can happen in life that make us feel like we have "missed it." We think we messed up too much or made too many mistakes but God makes it clear that even if we fall, we can still finish.

We understand that if we want to get in physical shape, we have to eat right and exercise. But what does it take to get spiritually fit? What can you do to develop your spiritual muscles?

Life can become very mundane and repetitive and it is easy to lose our motivation. But once we see our lives the way God does, we can really step into the incredible race He has for us.

Why is it so easy to compare our lives to everyone else's? The Tenth Commandment—"You shall not covet"—reveals that the greatest battle often isn't what we do, but what we desire. In the final message of the Thou Shalt Live series, we explore how comparison, envy, and constantly wanting more quietly rob us of peace. Through the story of Achan, the teaching of the Apostle Paul, and the example of Jesus, we discover that true freedom isn't found in getting everything we want—it's found in learning contentment in Christ. If you've ever felt like you're behind, not enough, or always chasing the next thing, this message is for you.

We all know what it's like to bend the truth or fib or give a little white lie. It is a way to avoid confrontation or awkwardness or just make life easier. But what is really going on when we lie? And what can happen in our own lives when we decide to step fully into the truth?
