Artificial intelligence is changing how we live, work, and connect. But as technology becomes more powerful, an important question remains: Can AI ever replace the personal touch of Jesus? In this message, “Personal Touch,” Pastor Rich Vinson launches our new series, AI and the Church, exploring both the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence through the lens of Scripture. In John 4:4–42, we see how Jesus encountered the Samaritan woman at the well. He saw beyond her circumstances, understood her deepest needs, and offered something no technology could ever provide—living water and a transformed life. In this message, we explore: - How Jesus meets us personally and offers what we truly need. - Why following Jesus involves transformation and growth. - The possibilities and potential dangers of artificial intelligence. - Why information and convenience can never replace authentic relationships, wisdom, and purpose. - The unique opportunity for the church to connect lives and demonstrate the love of Jesus. The Big Takeaway: AI can interact with you, but Jesus encounters you. Technology can connect devices, but the church is called to connect lives. As the world becomes increasingly artificial, our need for genuine relationships, Christian community, and a personal encounter with Jesus remains as important as ever. --- Take Your Next Step Whether you're exploring faith, looking for a church home, or would like someone to pray with you, we'd love to connect. 🙏 Prayer Requests & Next Steps: https://www.newfaithcw.org/next 📅 Upcoming Events & Opportunities: https://www.newfaithcw.org/life ⛪ Learn More About New Faith Church: https://www.newfaithcw.org Our Mission: Helping people find their way home to Jesus and become disciples who make disciples.

Somebody in your life needs to hear the good news of Jesus. The question is: How will God use you to help them hear? In this message, Pastor Rich Vinson of New Faith Church explores Romans 10:14–15 and reminds us that sharing the gospel isn't just the responsibility of pastors and missionaries. Every follower of Jesus has a part to play. Through the four pillars of our church's vision—REVIVE, RESTORE, RELEASE, and REPLICATE—we discover how hearing the gospel can lead to transformed lives, renewed purpose, and disciples who make disciples. In this message, you'll discover: - REVIVE: Why people need to hear the good news of Jesus and how our words, actions, and everyday lives communicate His love. - RESTORE: How believing in Jesus opens the door to repentance, healing, and discovering God's purpose for our lives. - RELEASE: Why God calls every believer to participate in His mission—through going, praying, encouraging, serving, or giving. - REPLICATE: How sharing the gospel creates a ripple effect as disciples make disciples who reach others. A powerful reminder from Pastor Rich: "Your feet may stay here, but your faith can travel around the world." Missions doesn't begin when someone boards an airplane. It begins when we step outside the church doors and recognize the people God has placed in our lives. This week's challenge: Who is one person in your life who needs to hear about Jesus? Pray for them, look for an opportunity to show God's love, and take one intentional step toward helping them find their way home. 📖 Scripture References: Romans 10:14–15 | Romans 3:23 | 2 Corinthians 4:4 | John 6:44 About New Faith Church Our mission is to help people find their way home to Jesus and become disciples who make disciples.

What if God has placed an opportunity right in front of you to make an eternal difference? God created each of us for a purpose—and He invites us to participate in something much bigger than ourselves. As part of Missions Month at New Faith Church, we welcomed Missionary Dan Klaehn, who, along with his wife Beatrice, has served for more than 20 years in Central America, helping equip and train future pastors and ministry leaders in Nicaragua. In this message, "Don't Miss Your Golden Opportunity," Dan explores Luke 15 and the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and prodigal son to reveal God's heart for those who are lost. He challenges us to recognize that we have been created for a purpose and invited to participate in God's mission of reaching the world. In this message, you'll discover: ✅ God's Heart for the Lost – Why heaven rejoices when someone comes to know Christ. ✅ Your God-Given Purpose – God doesn't need us, yet He chooses to involve us in His work. ✅ Our Calling as Ambassadors – Every believer has an opportunity to represent Jesus wherever God has placed them. ✅ The Impact of Missions – How training and equipping pastors in Nicaragua helps multiply the reach of the Gospel. ✅ Your Golden Opportunity – Practical ways to participate through prayer, giving, and sharing Christ with others. Key Scripture: Luke 15:1–32 Your Next Step You don't have to travel overseas to make an eternal difference. Your mission field may be your neighborhood, workplace, school, or even your own family. This week, ask yourself: Who has God placed in my life that needs to experience His love? How can I participate in what God is doing? During Missions Month, we also encourage you to prayerfully consider how you can support missionaries who are taking the Gospel around the world. 🙏 Take Your Next Step or Submit a Prayer Request: https://www.newfaithcw.org/next 📅 Upcoming Events & Opportunities: https://www.newfaithcw.org/life ⛪ Learn More About New Faith Church: https://www.newfaithcw.org New Faith Church | Canal Winchester, Ohio Our mission is to see people Revived, Restored, Released, and Replicating.
