What we connect to shapes us more than we realize. Our habits, influences, and dependencies don’t just affect our schedules — they condition our hearts. In this message from Matthew 19, we explore what Jesus teaches about connection, childlike faith, and true dependence on God. From cultural influences and moral formation to wealth, trust, and surrender, this sermon challenges us to examine who (and what) we are really connected to — and how those connections are shaping our lives. Jesus reminds us that when we connect to God with the heart of a child and follow Him with full surrender, there are no limits to what He can do. 🔑 In this message, you’ll hear about: Why connection is never neutral What it means to have childlike faith How our connections condition our hearts and decisions The danger of false dependencies (wealth, power, self-reliance) Why Jesus says, “With God, all things are possible” How to live a life fully connected to God — with faith, trust, and love Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to church, or growing in your walk with Christ, this message invites you to pause and ask an honest question: Who are you connected to? ⏱ Message Chapters 00:00 – Connections Will Condition You 02:30 – What Are We Connecting To? 07:35 – God Designed Us for Connection 08:50 – Faith Like a Child 12:35 – What You Connect To Shapes You 18:50 – Dependency, Wealth, and Trust 21:25 – A Life That Leaves an Impact 23:00 – With God, All Things Are Possible 27:30 – Living Fully Connected 32:20 – Invitation & Prayer 🙏 Take a Next Step If this message spoke to you: Take a moment to reflect and pray Share this message with someone who needs encouragement Let us know how we can pray for you or walk with you 📍 Learn more about New Faith Church: www.newfaithcw.org 🔔 Stay Connected Subscribe for weekly messages and encouragement as we grow together in faith.

What are you hungry for? We all know physical hunger—but there’s a deeper hunger within every one of us. In this message, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” This sermon looks at where that hunger comes from, why it exists in every human heart, and how God alone can satisfy it. From the Garden of Eden to the promise of new life in Christ, Scripture shows us that our pursuit of what is “right” ultimately leads us back to God. Whether you’re searching for purpose, peace, direction, or a deeper relationship with God, this message reminds us that when we hunger for righteousness, we are never left disappointed—we will be filled.
