Elephant in the Room: Sexuality
September 22, 2019 05:00What does love require?

Chasing Purpose: Your Personal Purpose
August 18, 2019 05:00Does God have a personal purpose for you? A million times yes! However, many of us fix on transportation questions: "Where am I?" and, "Where do I go from here?" In contrast, God cares about our transformation questions: "Who am I?" and, "Who am I becoming?" In this message, Dan Lian explains that God cares about every one of our choices, but he cares most about our identity, not our activity.
Chasing Purpose: His Purpose and our Part
August 11, 2019 05:00Does knowing your purpose feel too complicated? It's as simple as knowing Jesus and making him known. In this message, Clayton King uses The Sermon on the Mount to help us understand why our purpose is clearer when we understand God's purpose for His people, the Church.

Live for Freedom: Reversing the Curse

May 12, 2019 05:00Does the idea of being bold scare you?

Activated: Who Are You?
May 05, 2019 05:00You aren't who you think you are! When you receive Jesus, He changes your identity.

Tetelestai: Tetelestai
April 21, 2019 05:00At the cross, Jesus shut down the “power system” of sin, shame, self, and Satan. In this message, Brad Cooper explains why the most powerful phrase in human history was the final word Jesus declared on the cross: “Tetelestai” ... “It is finished.” The same power that raised Jesus from the grave gives us the power to live in freedom!
The Table: Four Promises
April 14, 2019 05:00The Jewish Passover meal was celebrated for thousands of years as the anticipated fulfilment of all God's promises to His people.

The Table: Washing Feet
March 31, 2019 05:00Your life doesn't need to be marked by rush or repetition. Jesus invites us into a rhythm of abundant life.

Eternity: The Two Judgments
March 17, 2019 05:00To be prepared for eternity, every believer needs clarity about the two judgments after we die. Brad Cooper explains that God judges whether someone has put their faith in Jesus — and then Jesus judges how a believer has stewarded their life. Learn how you can’t take things from this life with you into eternity, but you can send them ahead.
Eternity: The Flatline is not the Finish Line
March 10, 2019 05:00Theories about the afterlife have been part of the culture of every major civilization. Why? Because God planted eternity in the heart of every person. In this message, Clayton King reminds us that the flatline is not the finish line. Our physical bodies will die, but our souls will live forever. The question is where?
Family Values: Showing Visible Love
March 03, 2019 05:00If love isn't expressed, does it really exist? In this message, the teaching team discusses how love for others reveals our love for Jesus. Learn the four characteristics of Biblical love and why it's so important for us to make our love visible in relationship.

In this message, Dan Lian explains why pursuing uncommon unity isn't a political issue — It's a gospel issue. The ministry of reconciliation was what Jesus came to earth to empower and accomplish.
Family Values: Trusting The Promises
February 03, 2019 05:00Why do we set life goals? Because we know progress won’t happen by accident — not in our work, our family, our schooling, or our relationships. Excellence takes effort in our spiritual life, too. In this message, Brad Cooper shares NewSpring's family values, and explains how a life built on the rock of God's promises will always prosper.
First: Giving First
January 27, 2019 05:00Money feels more like a curse than a blessing to most people. It doesn't have to be that way. In this message, Clayton King shares how the discipline of tithing and generosity can lead to overflowing blessing.

So Will I: Born to Worship
November 18, 2018 05:00Jesus didn’t die so we could worship for 75 minutes a week at church.
