The Book Of Colossians / Christ Is Our Center Part 5 (Putting on Christ) Pastor Brayden Brookshier
35:13
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. We “wear” a new wardrobe as a Christ-follower. Listen in as we talk about how our relationship with Christ changes how we represent him in our interactions with othe…

June 9, 2024 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.

The Book Of Colossians / Christ Is Our Center Part 2 (Jesus at the Center) Pastor Markus Witherspoon
37:43
June 2, 2024 What makes Christians “Christians” is how we exalt and exemplify Christ. While most worldviews have a positive view of Jesus, they all have too low a view of him. Join Newbreak Church and Pastor Marcus Witherspoon as we see how Paul’s letter to the Colossians challenges us to elevate our view of Jesus, for who he is and what he has don…

May 19, 2024 We all pray: maybe for our favorite sports team to have a comeback win or for cancer to be eradicated or everything in-between. The question is: Does prayer actually do something?

April 28, 2024 James has some strong words for those who say they have faith but they don’t do anything with it. “Your faith is dead!” Strong words, but he is right! Jesus brings us to new life through faith in him and now we are challenged to put our faith into action to serve those around us. Join us as we highlight some of our local impact partn…

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 favori…

April 14, 2024 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 gr…

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.

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.

March 3, 2024 “You should have been there!” We have said that in happy and hard circumstances.

February 25, 2024 Did you know you have an “enemy” that is out to get you?

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.
