Feb. 23, 2025

The gospel tells us that God's grace is so good that it abounds even more than our sin. So, what does that mean for us now? Do we live how we want?

Dec. 22, 2024

The word "love" might be one of the most overused words ranging from "loving" ice cream to "loving" a spouse. So, how is God's love displayed? Why is it celebrated during the Christmas season? Listen in as Pastor Markus Witherspoon takes us into a prophecy about Jesus that shows us the heart of Christmas!

That's The Point Part 3 / (The King is Coming!) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Dec 16, 2024

Dec. 15, 2024

The word "joy" is beaming in its meaning, but not always in how we experience it. For hundreds of years and even leading up to the arrival of Jesus, God's people had to learn how to receive divine comfort while they waited for the promise of the Messiah to come. Listen in as Pastor Markus Witherspoon helps us see how to experience comfort this Advent season, and how it is linked to the theme word of "joy."

That's The Point Part 2 / (A Kingdom of Peace) Pastor JoAnn Johnson Dec 09, 2024

Dec. 8, 2024

The word "peace" at this time of year evokes holding a hot cooca and a harmonious home, sitting near a glistening tree. But most of us know that this sort of picture of peace is either fleeting or absent from many of our season's experiences. Listen in as Pastor JoAnn Johnson gives us a closer look at the prophecies of Christ's coming and the peace that is offered to us this season and everyday!

In this message you will be:

That's The Point Part 1 / (A King Will Be Born) Pastor Brooks Fuller Dec 09, 2024

Dec. 1, 2024

The word "hope" is a traditional Advent word. But it seems to have lost its point. Many times when we say "hope" it is as cavalier as wishing for a sports team to win a game. But putting that on the scale of more important matters, it still can feel as futile as a wish. Listen in as Pastor Brooks Fuller shows us the connection from an early prophecy of the Messiah's birth and our lives today and how hope is far more concrete than a flimsy wish!

In this message you will be:

1. Encouraged to see this Christmas season as remind us where our hope finds its point

Oct. 20, 2024

The Book Of Colossians / Christ Is Our Center Part 5 (Putting on Christ) Pastor Brayden Brookshier Jun 24, 2024

June 23, 2024

When you go to a restaurant, you can tell who the waiters and the cooks are based on their clothes. This makes a great analogy for how Paul encourages us in Colossians 3.

Culture is changing, and changing fast! Everywhere you look there are ideas marketed and philosophies advocated for and all of this challenges Christ-followers to know what we believe and how to sift through them. When Paul wrote to the Colossians, he wanted them to know that they would hear ideas that would sound “good” and would come against your faith. Lean in with us as we talk about how to stay in step with Christ and not fall to the prevailing ideas of the day.

As you listen in, you will be:

May 5, 2024

Join us as we highlight some of our local impact partners who are helping us make a difference in our city!

The Book Of James / Living Authentically Pt. 2 (Playing Favorites) Pastor Rich Guerra Apr 22, 2024

April 21, 2024

We all play favorites. We have a favorite restaurant, a favorite sports team, a favorite movie, etc. Favorites are fine, when applied to these things. But favorites are wrong when it comes to how we treat other people–especially when we let the social-scorecard deem who matters and who doesn’t. In God’s economy, we are all his favorites!

When we are shaken by a hardship in life, we see our true character come out! None of us like trials, but we all go through them. And our choice in the matter is how we will respond to trials, letting them shape us or shatter us. Lean in as Newbreak Church learns from Pastor Brayden Brookshier to see our trials as opportunities to grow!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to ask God for wisdom to know how to navigate trials

2. Encouraged to see the goodness of God in the thick of a hard season

March 24, 2024

What would it be like to be a fly on the wall as Jesus prayed when he was here on earth? Fortunately, we have a glimpse into that as John, one of his disciples, listened to Jesus pray during his last night before his crucifixion. Lean in as we see how the prayer of Jesus provides the mission and motivations we are to have as we live as his followers!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to live “set apart” lives as followers of Christ

2. Encouraged to see how Jesus prays for us as we live in this world

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.11 (Remain in Me) Pastor JoAnn Johnson Mar 21, 2024

March 17, 2024

What does growing as a Christ-follower look like? Surprisingly, growth does not look like becoming more independent and self-sufficient but actually more reliant on Jesus. That’s where Jesus brings in our role in the relationship: “Remain in me.” Join us as we look at this important passage of what it means for Jesus to be the vine and for us to be his branches!

As you listen to Pastor JoAnn Johnson, you will be:

1. Challenged to confront the ways we try to live life apart from Jesus

2. Encouraged to see the call to “remain” is the call to rest in his love

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.10 (Servant Leadership) Pastor Brooks Fuller Mar 14, 2024

March 10, 2024

What makes someone great? Maybe we think of someone who has amassed wealth; or the recent Heisman trophy winner; or the actress with multiple Emmy nominations. But what if those great achievements don’t make someone truly great in the eyes of Jesus? Lean in as we look at the example of Christ himself, as he shows us what true greatness and servant leadership looks like.

As you listen to Brooks Fuller, you will be:

1. Challenged to serve even those who are hard to love

2. Encouraged to become like Jesus by serving like him

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.9 (I AM the Resurrection) Pastor Jared Johnson Mar 05, 2024

March 3, 2024

“You should have been there!” We have said that in happy and hard circumstances. Especially in hard circumstances, we may look up in a posture of prayer and say: “God, you should have been there!” Mary and Martha knew what it was like to feel disappointed, even telling Jesus that he should have been present before Lazarus, their brother had died. Lean into this heart-felt message as we see how Jesus responds to our dire circumstances and crisis.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to bring your pain to Jesus

2. Encouraged to see the compassion of Christ in the face of death

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.8 (The Good Shepherd) Pastor Brayden Brookshier Feb 26, 2024

February 25, 2024

Did you know you have an “enemy” that is out to get you? Many of us try to get through this life on our own, but Jesus offers himself to us through the metaphor of a “good shepherd.” What does this mean and why does this matter for us? Join us as this week at Newbreak Church and in our Life Groups as we learn together how to know the voice of The Good Shepherd and then rest in his care, and not our own.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to listen for the voice of Jesus speaking to you

2. Encouraged to rest in the care of Jesus as the Good Shepherd

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.7 (Now I See) Pastor Kamar Bevil Feb 21, 2024

February 18, 2024

Have you ever looked back at a painful season and gained perspective on how God was doing something profound even if you couldn’t see it at the time? Hardships have a way of blinding us to what God is doing amid a trying time. Join us as we rethink how our hardships reveal God within our God story!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see God redeeming our hardships

2. Encouraged to see and respond to Jesus

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.6 (Bread of Life) Pastor Jared Johnson Feb 13, 2024

February 11, 2024

During the biggest football game of the entire year many people gather around to watch the game together while enjoying good food and rooting for the San Francisco 49ers. Many people gathered to hear Jesus teach and at some point they all got hungry and were miles from home. He was hosting the biggest speaking event that region had seen and now physical hunger got the best of everyone. Watch as Jesus takes this opportunity not only to surprise everyone with how he feeds them, but also what it all means–for them and for us today!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to trust God with our daily needs

2. Encouraged to embrace the deeper meaning of the miracles Jesus does

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.5 (Do You Want to Be Better?) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Feb 05, 2024

February 4, 2024

The Bible says: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Those times in your life that you feel stuck are the ones where you lack vision. Every time Jesus encounters someone in the Gospels he provides them with vision, somehow and in some way. Join us this Vision Sunday as we see how Jesus speaks a better word over our lives and our communities!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see how Christ’s vision inspires your life

2. Encouraged to be part of the vision

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.4 (He Had to Meet You) Pastor Mike Quinn Jan 29, 2024

January 28, 2024

We schedule many appointments in our monthly calendar. There are car maintenance appointments, hair appointments, doctor appointments, the list goes on! But some appointments belong to a different category altogether... divine appointments. These are the ones where God schedules for us. Listen in as we see Jesus scheduling a divine appointment with an unexpected guest!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see the divine appointments in our life, even if they look ordinary on the surface

2. Encouraged to allow God to free us from the labels that keep us hidden from him and others

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.3 (Born Again) Pastors Jarred Johnson and Markus Witherspoon Jan 29, 2024

January 21, 2024

Where do you go when you have climbed the ladder, reached the top, and found yourself still searching for answers? This is how Nicodemus, a Pharisee and esteemed religious leader, felt as he scheduled a meeting with Jesus under the cover of darkness. But this secret meeting has a message for the whole world to hear! Join us as we hear how to experience the transformation we are all looking for!

As you listen in to Pastors Jared Johnson and Markus Witherspoon, you will be:

1. Challenged to see how information does not guarantee transformation

2. Encouraged to receive the love of God and be born again

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.2 (Who is He (Jesus)?) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Jan 21, 2024

January 14, 2024

Weddings are always memorable, but not always for the right reasons… Sometimes weddings not go as planned. Have you ever been to one where the wedding goes awry? Well, some 2,000 years ago Jesus attended a wedding that was going great–until something happened. What happened? Why does it matter? How will Jesus respond? Join us as we see how the first public miracle of Jesus includes more than meets the eye!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to obey Jesus even when it doesn’t make sense

2. Encouraged to represent the concerns of others to Jesus

The Gospel of John / Come and See Pt.1 (Who is He (Jesus)?) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Jan 11, 2024

January 7, 2024

He is the most written-about figure in history. He is the most asked-about person on Google. Who is he? Jesus. And John’s Gospel account of Jesus certainly tells us about some of what Jesus did, but more than that, John wants us to see who Jesus is! Join us as we kick off this sermon series. Here we will truly come and see who Jesus is and how he changes our lives!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see the light of Christ piercing through the darkness

2. Encouraged to come and experience Jesus for yourself!

December 31, 2023

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to not be passive about your plan to make 2024 a powerful year spiritually

A Thrill Of Hope Pt. 4 (Christmas Eve 2023) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Dec 27, 2023

December 24, 2023

Join us this Christmas eve for a morning filled with Christmas songs, candles, and an inspiring message reminding us of the true meaning of Christmas!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to not let your familiarity with the Christmas story let you miss the wonder of it

2. Encouraged to embrace Jesus as the Savior of the world

A Thrill Of Hope Pt. 3 (Joy to the world!) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Dec 18, 2023

December 17, 2023

The triumphant song with many different renditions reverberates during this time of year. It gets us thinking: what does the joy of this season invite us to experience? And what can this joy look like in the midst of the daily grind of life? Lean in as we discover more about joy inspired by the events leading up to the first Christmas!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to not make the world your source of happiness, otherwise it can be easily stripped away

2. Encouraged to choose joy because God chose you

A Thrill Of Hope Pt. 2 (A Weary and Worried World ) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Dec 12, 2023

December 10, 2023

Studies have shown that 62% of people’s stress levels are “very” elevated during Christmas time. What? How does the season that trumpets words like “love,” “joy,” and “peace” also produce more worry? Listen in as we talk about Christ’s invitation to a life beyond the worries that plague our daily lives.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see that where we worry the most is where we trust God the least

2. Encouraged to see God’s care for birds and flowers as small but mighty reminders of how much he cares for us!

A Thrill Of Hope Pt. 1 (Waiting on the God of Hope) Pastor Mike Quinn Dec 04, 2023

December 3, 2023

Many of us might be surprised to see that the first Christmas was prefaced with some real people with real stories of hopelessness. You could say that hope was a rare commodity back then. And hey, I think people feel that way now. But that's why Christmas and the Gospel is so imperative. We are people of hope! And so we want to lean into a story where hope interfaces with our expectations and reality, as we learn from Pastor Mike Quinn.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to remain faithful to God in seasons of waiting

2. Encouraged to listen for God to provide a word of hope in the midst of this season

Unlocked Pt. 3 (The Fruit of the Holy Spirit) Pastor Brooks Fuller Nov 28, 2023

November 26, 2023

Many of us get excited by the notion of the Holy Spirit bringing more of the presence and character of Jesus into our lives, and yet, we sense the disconnect and the conflict. Listen in as we talk about how to live in the Spirit and experience the “fruit” we all desire.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to examine the fruit your life is producing

2 Encouraged to see how we can live by the power of the Spirit and not the flesh

Unlocked Pt. 2 (The Gifts of the Holy Spirit) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Nov 21, 2023

November 19, 2023

It’s easy to recognize the ways in which we all have innate talents, but did you know that you are not just talented, you are spiritually gifted? Lean in as we talk about the Holy Spirit-empowered gifts we are given to benefit the communities around us!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to prioritize using your gifts for the benefit of others

2. Encouraged to see your gifting as a way God has called you to play an important role in the world

Unlocked Pt. 1 (The Power of the Holy Spirit) Pastor JoAnn Johnson Nov 15, 2023

November 12, 2023

Have you ever had a time when you had to live with a roommate? Maybe it was during college or during a part of your early adulthood or some other circumstances. When you live with a roommate it is like living with a stranger. Many of us view the Holy Spirit in a similar way. He is like a stranger who has access to us but we don’t know how to interact with him. Listen in to JoAnn Johnson at the Newbreak Church Tierrasanta Campus as we talk about what the Holy Spirit unlocks for us as we kick off this series!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to let the Holy Spirit show you a better way of living

2. Encouraged to open yourself to the Holy Spirit

Live Dead (Kingdom Builders) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Nov 09, 2023

November 5, 2023

There are numerous stories coming from our global partners telling us about how the unreached are actually being reached with the life-changing message of Jesus! When we hear this we double down on our belief that we are to continue to support these partners and also that we are to live more like them in our own context as well.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to embrace a “Live Dead” mentality

2. Encouraged to see how our contribution participates in the Great Commission!

Thriving in Babylon Pt. 6 (The Pattern and the Promise) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Nov 05, 2023

October 29, 2023

The headlines are always despairing. It is easy to lose hope and wonder how God’s word provides us guidance to carry on. But that’s why we need the message of Daniel chapter 7. Lean in as we talk about the pattern, the promise, and the plan that carries us forward from Babylon then to Babylon now!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to not let despair shape our worldview

2. Encouraged to live as people of hope since we know the pattern and promise of God

Thriving in Babylon Pt. 5 (Courage to Face the Lions) Pastor JoAnn Johnson Oct 23, 2023

October 22, 2023

Fair weather fans are looked down upon by sports enthusiasts. These are the fans who switch their allegiance based on their team’s performance. They love a team one week when all is well but then abandon them when they are not winning. This serves as a great analogy for the life of faith. Join us as we look at what it means to be faithful to God, not wavering in our commitment even as hardships arise.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to dig deep and develop courage in the midst of cultural hostility

2. Encouraged to grasp some tools that help us remain faithful

Thriving in Babylon Pt. 4 (Counterfeit Faith) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Oct 17, 2023

October 15, 2023

Soda enthusiasts will tell you they can tell the difference between Coca-Cola and a counterfeit version. There is a difference even if it is hard to tell. Our faith can be like that. Culture has counterfeit versions of what God offers but they are counterfeit, they aren’t the real thing! Lean in as we talk about how we live with genuine faith in a counterfeit culture.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see how our worship is challenged

2. Encouraged to see how God walks through the fire with us

Thriving in Babylon Pt. 3 (Pride and Humility) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Oct 10, 2023

October 8, 2023

Hindsight is 20/20. We know that. But what if we shifted our perspective? What if we trusted that God is brewing something right now in the midst of “Babylon’s reign”? In other words, we do not have to wait to look back at how God is piecing his plan together, we can trust he is at work right now. Lean in as we talk about our role in Babylon as we live with the expectation that God is moving and at work in the thick of it all.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see God’s hand at work in the midst of the challenges

2. Encouraged to take action when God prompts us

Thriving in Babylon Pt. 2 (Character) Pastor Brooks Fuller Oct 03, 2023

October 1, 2023

Do you remember your parent or some sort of adult figure challenging you to not follow the direction of your peers? It used to go something like this: “If your friends jumped off a cliff would you, too?” There is a point to be made. For Daniel and his friends, being captives in Babylon did not mean they had to assimilate to the ways of Babylon. Early on they faced a defining choice. And whether we know it or not, so do we. We have a choice to make that will determine our integrity and our influence.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to make pre-decisions that align with our biblical worldview

2. Encouraged to stand our ground with tact and respect

Thriving in Babylon Pt.1 (Exile) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Sep 25, 2023

Sep 24, 2023

We live in a defining hour of history. The Western world and our country’s moral landscape have changed and are changing faster than we can keep pace. What was once wrong is now right and what was once unacceptable is now celebrated. We are living in a type of “Babylon” and the question is how will we respond? How will we find hope when it seems all is lost?

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to engage our culture with godly wisdom and courage

2. Encouraged to our hope as just as real and relevant as it has ever been

Kingdom Builders (Child Hope Weekend) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Sep 19, 2023

9-17-23 Kingdom Builders (Child Hope Weekend) Pastor Markus Witherspoon

Sep 17, 2023

“Jesus loves the little children.”

We sing about this and we believe this. But what children are we speaking of? Do we only mean our kids? What about the kids that are elsewhere? This Sunday we are talking about some of the exciting and important opportunities we have with our Kingdom Builders partner, Child Hope, to help kids in poverty in Latin America find hope in Jesus and learn life skills to pull them out of generational cycles.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to adopt the same view of kids that Jesus has

2. Encouraged to sacrifice to make a lasting difference for these kids as we launch 3 new programs for them

Reset Pt.4 (Generosity Reset) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Sep 11, 2023

Sep 10, 2023

Did you know that the Bible talks about money almost 2,500 times? That’s a lot! And Jesus emphasizes it frequently in the gospels. The topic of money might not be the most savory on a Sunday morning, but because we care about following Jesus with every part of our lives we talk about the heart behind stewarding generosity.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to how God’s generosity transforms our view of generosity

2. Encouraged to take a step in stewarding our generosity with a kingdom mindset

Reset Pt.3 (Intentionality Reset) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Sep 05, 2023

Sep 3, 2023

Have you ever felt like what you are doing is meaningless? That may sound melodramatic but often we need to reevaluate where we are at and ask ourselves: How do we reset our mindset on what matters most?

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to reassess how much you value Jesus

2. Encouraged to take your next step in pursuing Christ

Reset Pt.2 (Community Reset) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Aug 29, 2023

Aug 27, 2023

We have a crisis on our hands, and no, we are not talking about the economic climate–we are talking about a loneliness crisis. People feel less connected and less known than in decades past. Scripture continually encourages community and so do we! Lean in as we discuss the importance of community as we reset our priorities to focus on “we” more than just “me.”

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to invest in a community, even if you are intimidated to start new friendships

2. Encouraged to see our role as to bless as many people around us

Reset Pt.1 (Navigating This Season) Pastors Jared Johnson and Markus Witherspoon Aug 22, 2023

Aug 20, 2023

The fall routine is upon us! We may be excited for the perks that come with the routine but we might also want to ask ourselves, how do we want to navigate this season well? How can we anticipate the challenges that inevitably lie ahead?

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to trust that God has a plan and a process for this season

2. Encouraged to see our role as to bless as many people around us

Newbreak 360 Pt.5 (Combating Complacency) Pastor Jared Johnson Aug 15, 2023

Aug. 6, 2023

This week, you get to hear from Pastor Jared Johnson from our Scripps Ranch campus as he shares his story and how God has overcome his hesitations of feeling unqualified for his calling.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to be stretched out of your comfort zone

2. Encouraged to take that next step God is calling you into

Newbreak 360 Pt.4 (3 Words on God’s Will for Your Life) Pastor Brayden Brookshier Aug 08, 2023

Aug. 6, 2023

This week, you get to hear from Pastor Brayden Brookshier from our Ocean Beach campus as he shares from an often-overlooked passage that tells us God’s will for all of us to walk in every single day!

As you listen in, you will be:

1 challenged to be a joy innovator

2 encouraged to find the goodness of God in every season

Newbreak 360 Pt.3 (Answering the Call) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Jul 31, 2023

July 30, 2023

This week you get to hear from Pastor Markus Witherspoon from our Tierrasanta Campus, as he shares an inspiring message about what it means to be a person after God’s own heart.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to stay faithful in seasons of waiting

2. Encouraged to find godly people who can speak into your life

Newbreak 360 Pt.2 (Living with Purpose) Pastor JoAnn Johnson Jul 25, 2023

July 23, 2023

This week you get to hear from Executive Pastor, JoAnn Johnson, as she shares an encouraging message based on the story of Deborah, in the book of Judges.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to have full participation in God’s purposes

2. Encouraged to say “yes” to God’s divine appointments

Newbreak 360 Pt.1 (Growing Through What You Are Going Through) Pastor Robert Wachs Jul 17, 2023

July 16, 2023

This week you get to hear from Lead Pastor over all of Newbreak, Robert Wachs, as he shares personally from his own life and encourages you with how you can grow through what you are going through.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to appreciate the way in which painful circumstances have impacted you

2. Encouraged to build reserves, not just resilience in your life

Summer Playlist Pt.3 (Indescribable) Pastor Kamar Bevil Jul 10, 2023

July 9, 2023

Are you growing closer to God? To put it a different way, are you growing in your affection for God? This might sound odd in wording but it’s intentional. When we read Psalm 19 we see King David sharing with us some great insight on how to grow in our affection for God, which, in turn, gives us benefits that are worth talking about!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to reflect on how big the universe is

2. Encouraged to try meditating on Scripture as a means of experiencing the personal revival we need

Summer Playlist Pt.2 (Known) Pastor Brooks Fuller Jul 03, 2023

July 2, 2023

“He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake.” That Christmas jingle, talking about Santa Claus, can make us feel uncomfortable. And we often project that onto God. “Isn’t God just looking for me to mess up and fall short?” Not in the slightest! So, what does it really mean that God knows everything about you? Lean in as we watch Pastor Mike Quinn show us how God’s deep and honest knowing of us is actually an encouraging truth!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to be honest with God, as he knows who we truly are

2. Encouraged to see God involved in the most intimate details of our life

Summer Playlist Pt.1 (Better Than Life) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Jun 26, 2023

Jun 25, 2023

There is a joke that is no laughing matter… our plans. How rarely do our plans go without a detour–or sometimes–are completely derailed! But how we respond when life does not go our way tells us a lot about us. Lean in as we talk about what soundtrack might match the mood of life when plans do not go our way.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see unexpected seasons as opportunities for our faith to grow

2. Encouraged to remember God’s promises in the hard seasons

Flash Theology Part 7 (God is Happy) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Jun 19, 2023

Jun 18, 2023

Who is the happiest being in the whole world? Most of us might think of a celebrity or successful CEO… but what if God was the happiest being in the whole universe? Lean in as we talk about God being the greatest source of happiness and how we can access that today!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see God’s happiness as equally important as his love, justice, holiness, and so on

2. Encouraged to lead our homes with the joy of the Lord

Flash Theology Part 6 (God is Merciful) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Jun 12, 2023

Jun 11, 2023
“But they don’t deserve mercy!” Have you ever felt that way? Yet, isn’t that kind of the point? If we deserved mercy it wouldn’t be mercy. Lean in with us as we learn how boundless God’s mercy is from the story of Jonah.

As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to extend mercy to those who we feel “don’t deserve it”
2. Encouraged to see God’s mercy as a chance to start anew

Flash Theology Part 5 (God is Rich) Pastor Darrell Larson Jun 05, 2023

Jun 4, 2023

Would you consider yourself to be rich? It’s amazing how privileged we are to live in America. Here, even if money is tight, we live in the luxury of the first world. As Christians, we see our privilege not as something to hoard but as something we steward. This Kingdom Builders weekend we talk about some wisdom the apostle Paul gives us on how our generosity can literally change the world.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see how fortunate we are

2. Encouraged to live out of God’s abundance and are inspired toward generosity

Flash Theology Part 4 (God is Wise) Pastor Brooks Fuller May 30, 2023

May 28, 2023

Have you ever noticed something, such as mosquitos, and thought? How do these fit into God’s wise creation? Often, these questions come in more trying circumstances too. Lean in as we address why we should trust God in a world with mosquitos and far worse tragedies.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see God’s wisdom as beautifully complex

2. Encouraged to learn to trust God’s character even when we don’t understand our circumstances.

Flash Theology Part 3 (God is Our Protector) Pastor Markus Witherspoon May 22, 2023

May 21, 2023

Let’s be honest: life can be terrifying at times. The dread of the unknown can drown us in anxiety. But what if Scripture was right? What if God truly IS our Protector? How might that change how we face the dark valleys we are (or soon to be) walking through?

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to look to God as the One who will come to your aid

2. Encouraged to see God’s protection as completely comprehensive “both now and forevermore”

Flash Theology Part 2 (God is Holy) Pastor Amy Elliott May 15, 2023

May 14, 2023

God is holy; right? But what does that mean? Beyond the jargon, there is an important truth for us. Here we talk about how God makes us holy–wholly devoted to him, practically, personally, and even within our homes and families.

As you listen in, you will be:

Challenged to see our homes as a sacred space where people can encounter God
Encouraged to make God’s holiness real and relevant in our homes

Flash Theology Part 1 (God Is Love) Pastor Markus Witherspoon May 08, 2023

May 7, 2023

Every Christian denomination has a belief statement that all agree on this: God is Trinity. Many of us, if we are honest, believe in the Trinity but have no idea what that means. What is God? It is an important question because What God IS will influence how we interact with him. After all: the most important thing about us is what we think and believe to be true about God.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see God is love because God is relational

2. Encouraged to see how God wants to include us in his world-reconciling plan

On Earth As It Is In Heaven Pt. 4 (The Kingdom Mobilized) Pastor Brooks Fuller May 01, 2023

Apr 30, 2023

"Is it time?" Just imagine how the 120+ disciples felt as they became witnesses of the resurrected Jesus. Their hearts were reborn with a living hope. And now, they were ready to tell EVERYONE. And yet, the risen Lord tells them something perplexing: "Wait." Wait? Why? Jesus tells them to wait for God’s promise to come true, for his believers to be given the power to fulfill their purpose on earth as in heaven, and that is what we explore in this week’s message!

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to not diminish the power the Holy Spirit offers us

2. Encouraged to see Pentecost as relevant for us today

On Earth As It Is In Heaven Pt. 3 (The Kingdom Prayer) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Apr 24, 2023

Apr 23, 2023

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…” I am sure many of us can fill in the rest of the words. The prayer Jesus gave us (often referred to as the “Lord’s Prayer”) is a powerful tool to connect us with God while also seeing his hand in our life. Here we see how this prayer, although succinct and simple, has the power to bring our heavenly Father’s help to us right where we are.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to invite God’s will into your heart, home, and habits

2. Encouraged to see God’s power over the things that try to tempt you away from his plan

On Earth As It Is In Heaven Pt. 2 (The Kingdom’s Citizens) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Apr 17, 2023

Apr 16, 2023

When the ministry of Jesus was gaining traction, all the people following him were eager to hear what the culture of his ministry would be like. Jesus then delivers his famous Sermon on the Mount" and tells us what the culture of his kingdom is like. If we lean in, then it will both surprise and inspire us!

As you listen in, you will be:

Challenged to see ourselves as influencers of culture because of our faith in Jesus
Encouraged to bring God’s “flavor” into the world

On Earth As It Is In Heaven Pt. 1 (Easter 2023 at Newbreak Church) Pastor Markus Witherspoon Apr 10, 2023

This Easter weekend, we celebrate how the resurrection of Jesus launches God’s plan to bring heaven to earth!

As you listen in, you will be:
1. Challenged to allow Jesus to open your eyes to see that he is alive and reigning as king
2. Encouraged to see how Easter rewrites human history and my history

What makes someone the greatest? In sports terms, only a few are deemed the “G.O.A.T.” (greatest of all time). Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and so on. Even Christ’s disciples were concerned with this question. How is the greatest? Listen in as Jesus gives an answer that continues to challenge our notions of greatness.

As you listen in, you will be:

1. Challenged to see greatness not as how many serve us but as how we serve others

2. Encouraged to see Jesus as the primary example of greatness
