“If your faith never costs you anything, it’s probably not faith in Jesus.”
That’s the sermon.
Paul and Silas got thrown in prison, beaten, and still sang worship songs at midnight.
Meanwhile, we’re mad if someone parks in our usual spot. This one’s about pain, purpose, and why God might not be trying to get you out of the hard place—but use you in it.
Catch the replay. And maybe ask yourself what your midnight song sounds like.

"If the only voice you trust is your own—you’re being discipled by a liar and a fool."
Oof. That one left a mark.
We all want to believe we're following truth… but how do you know who to trust anymore? Politicians? Influencers? Yourself? Your spiritual Spotify playlist?
This week at NewChurch, we talked about competing voices, the lies we buy into, and what happens when God’s truth disrupts the noise.
🔗 Catch up on the message now and ask yourself: Who do you trust?
P.S. In this sermon, I mentioned that “pythons and seraphim are the same word in the Bible.” That’s not technically true. They’re actually different words in different languages—“python” (Greek, Acts 16) refers to a spirit of divination, while “seraphim” (Hebrew, Isaiah 6) are heavenly beings associated with fire and God's throne.
That said—both are linked with serpents in Scripture. One is a deceiving spirit, the other a burning angelic presence. Both are spiritual powers. But one lies. The other worships.
In Numbers 21, God sends seraph serpents (seraphim) to bite the people for their rebellion. The people repent, and Moses is told to make a bronze serpent and lift it up—foreshadowing Christ (John 3:14).
The seraph as a fiery serpent shares symbolic space with the Python spirit—both are serpent figures associated with spiritual power, but one is from God’s judgment and the other from pagan deception.
Thanks for listening closely, for your grace, and for being part of this messy, beautiful journey of learning God's Word together.

“Faith comes by hearing… not zoning out.”
Let’s be real—you’ve probably nodded through a sermon or two while mentally making a grocery list. No judgment. But this one? You’re gonna want to actually hear it. It’s about a woman who listened for real—and it flipped her whole life (and her whole household) upside down in the best way. Open hearts, open homes, and a God who still speaks.

“Closed Doors (Acts 16:6–10)”
Ever had a dream die? A plan crumble? A door slam shut right on your fingers while you were trying to pry it open in Jesus' name? Yeah. Us too.
Paul had the Spirit of Jesus tell him “Nope” (twice!) before finally getting a vision to head somewhere he hadn’t even planned. Turns out God is better at Google Maps than we are.
This message is for anyone who’s ever been frustrated by redirection and divine silence. Spoiler: Closed doors might be the best thing that ever happened to you.
