It is our passion at New Life that the pulpit ministry heighten our love for the Word of God, and provide a balanced diet that enhances our spiritual growth. The Apostle Paul said to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20, “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God…feed the church of God.”
It was Christ who said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). Jesus also warned of a great deception by false teachers as an indication of His return (Matthew 24:4, 5, 11).
In order for the church to escape the great deception of the end time, it must have a true commitment to the Scriptures. The Berean Church (Acts 17) “received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily.” As a Bible church, we at New Life are committed to the preaching of God's Word. We believe the Bible is God’s revelation to man. It reveals to us the person, plan, promises, and purposes of God. We believe the Bible is able to lead someone to salvation, and equip each believer for every good work (II Timothy 3:15-17). This is why the apostle Paul stated: “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine” (II Timothy 4:2).
I Corinthians 1:18 says, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
Ephesians 4:15 says, “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.”
I Peter 5:2,10 says, “Feed the flock of God which is among you…make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.”
Ephesians 4:12 says, “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
Come join us this Sunday as we expound the Scriptures, and watch the Word of God penetrate our lives.
