New King Church

Finally, we are back in the Gospel of Mark after spending the holiday season discussing our values and advent. This week Jesus has arrived in Jerusalem in a passage that has often been called “The Triumphal Entry”. However, as we will see, in Mark’s account the surprising details he shares will both encourage and challenge us as we learn what it means to follow Jesus. We can’t wait to see you Sunday!

It's been weeks since we last preached from the Book of Mark. Next week we will pick back up in chapter 11. In order to refocus our minds and prepare our hearts to continue our series "Who is Jesus?" we will spend this week recapping and looking forward to the events in Mark. We will also reflect on the incarnation of Jesus and how we should celebrate Emmanuel all year long.

The advent of Jesus was the joyful realization of the long-awaited Messiah, yet Christ's arrival, like our lives, was also marked by grief and hostility. 
This week we will see that, even through the hardships of life, we can experience complete joy through Jesus Christ.  1 John 1:1-4

Peace, it's something we all long and search for but it seems so hard to get. In our world we see the absence of peace in wars around the globe, recent political elections, chaos from it all, our own anxieties and fears, and broken relationships in our lives. Where can we find peace in the midst of no peace? In this week's sermon we will look to the scriptures and then see Jesus Christ the one who makes peace for those who are in turmoil. 

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Advent series with Jesus the Light of Comfort.  This week we'll look again at the story of Simeon who was waiting for the long promised Messiah, the one called the consolation or comfort of Israel.  We'll learn what comfort is, what comfort looks like and how to get it.

Join us this Sunday as we begin our Advent series with Jesus our hope.  This week we'll look at the story of Simeon who was waiting for the long promised Messiah.  From this passage, we'll see what hope is, what hope looks like, and how to have hope. Luke 2:25-35

This Sunday our sermon will be on our third value, depth of bible study, and our fourth value, multiplication. We will focus our study on the example of the fellowship of believers in Acts 2:42-47. Here we will see how their devotion to God and his word led to faithful witness to those around them! We can’t wait to see you Sunday!

New King's first and second values are Jesus and Hospitality. Because Jesus is the highly exalted King, he naturally is first in all things, including everything we do at New King. In Colossians, Paul points us to the grandeur and glory of Jesus in both his person and in his work. He then exhorts us to live as God's chosen ones in the same way that Jesus lived as he came to rescue us. 

This week we will take a break from our study in Mark to take time to discuss our mission and values at New King. The topic this week will specifically be on our mission to be a church that helps people find and follow Jesus. Our focus passage for this week will be John 17 where Jesus prays to the Father for Himself and His disciples. We can’t wait to see you on Sunday!
