Jesus did not say His followers might become salt and light someday. He said, “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” In this message from Matthew 5:13–16, Tom Thomin explains how every believer influences the people around them. Like salt, we are called to preserve what is good, improve the lives of others, and create a thirst for Jesus. Like light, we are called to reveal truth, give direction, and live a visible faith that points people toward God. The question is not whether we will influence the world. The question is: What kind of influence will we have? In this message: Why being salt and light is our identity, not just a goal How Christian character can preserve what is good Why our lives should bring hope, kindness, and encouragement The danger of becoming “salt in the box” How to live a visible faith without becoming arrogant or confrontational Why the goal is not applause, but giving glory to God Jesus has placed you in your family, workplace, school, neighborhood, and community for a reason. Live in such a way that people experience more of God’s goodness because you are there.

Don't Stop: Your Journey Isn't Over Have you ever felt like you've taken a wrong turn spiritually? Maybe you've become comfortable, discouraged, distracted, or uncertain about what's next. In this message from 2 Kings 2, we follow Elijah and Elisha on their final journey together. As they travel through Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the Jordan River, each stop becomes a powerful reminder that God continually calls us to keep moving forward. Even when we make mistakes, God doesn't abandon us. He lovingly says, "Recalculating," and continues leading us toward His purpose. In this message, you'll discover: Why salvation is only the beginning of the journey. How past encounters with God should inspire—not replace—today's faith. How to keep moving when obstacles stand in your way. Why every believer is called to take a next step of faith. Practical ways to grow closer to Christ and continue following Him.

How do you move forward when your past keeps pulling you back? In this message from Exodus 14:26–31, Pastor Rich reminds us that God's desire isn't just to deliver us from something—it's to lead us into something new. Many people know they've been forgiven, yet still live under the weight of guilt, shame, disappointment, or yesterday's failures. God's Word reminds us that freedom isn't merely walking out of Egypt—it's learning not to live like you're still there. In this message you'll discover: ✅ Why God never intended you to live in your past ✅ How disappointment can distort your view of God ✅ What it means to truly live in Christ's freedom ✅ Why "When God forgives, He releases."

What keeps your faith burning when life gets difficult? In this message from 2 Timothy 1:3–7, Pastor Rich challenges us to examine what is fueling our lives. A healthy Christian life isn't sustained by emotion alone—it is grounded in God's Word and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Using the picture of a campfire, this message reminds us that our spiritual fire must be fed, guarded, and directed if we are going to faithfully follow Christ. In this message: 🔥 The Fire Must Be Fed 🛡️ The Fire Must Be Guarded 🧭 The Fire Must Be Directed 📖 Living a Word-Led, Spirit-Driven Life Whether you're feeling spiritually strong or spiritually exhausted, this message will encourage you to rekindle your passion for Christ and pursue a faith that lasts.

What does true patriotism look like for a follower of Jesus? In this message from Jeremiah, Pastor Rich challenges us to look beyond politics and remember that our highest loyalty belongs to God. True love for our nation isn't expressed through slogans or political victories—it is demonstrated through faithful prayer, holy living, courageous witness, and a desire to see people come to Christ. Jeremiah remained faithful to God's calling while ministering to a nation that had turned away from Him. His example reminds us that if we truly love our country, we should care most about its spiritual condition and faithfully point people to Jesus. In this message you'll discover: • Why our highest loyalty must always belong to God • The difference between patriotism and biblical loyalty • Why prayer is more powerful than complaining • How Christians can influence their communities for Christ • Why America is changed one transformed heart at a time Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 1:4–10, 17–19 Jeremiah 29:7 Jeremiah 9:1 2 Chronicles 7:14 Matthew 5:13–16 If this message encouraged you, we'd love for you to subscribe and share it with someone who needs hope today.

What's holding you back from fully trusting God? In this message, A Surrendered Life, Pastor Rich explores the story of the rich young ruler in Luke 18:18–27 and reveals that Jesus wasn't asking him to give up his possessions—He was inviting him to surrender his heart. Many people want God's blessings, forgiveness, and help, but Jesus asks a deeper question: "Will you surrender control of your life to Me?" Through memorable illustrations and practical biblical teaching, discover why salvation cannot be earned, why Jesus desires a relationship instead of religion, and how true freedom begins when we place our complete trust in Him. In This Message Why salvation is a gift—not something we earn The difference between religion and a relationship with Jesus What the rich young ruler teaches us about surrender How trust grows through daily obedience The question every follower of Jesus must answer: Who is really leading your life?

What kind of shadow are you casting? In this Father's Day message, Pastor Rich explores the powerful influence fathers have on the next generation. Using Scripture, personal stories, and practical examples, he challenges us to consider the legacy we're leaving behind—not just through what we provide, but through the lives we shape. A father's greatest responsibility is not simply to provide a house, food, or opportunities. It is to reflect the heart of our Heavenly Father. In This Message: • Fathers reflect the image of God • Fathers lead through God-given responsibility • Fathers build the next generation • Legacy is about what we leave in our children, not just what we leave for them • The answer isn't perfection—it's surrender to the Heavenly Father Scriptures: • Genesis 1:26-28 • Ephesians 6:4 • Joshua 24:15 Key Quote: "A father's greatest legacy is not what he leaves for his children, but what he leaves in his children."

What happens when the things we value most are taken away? In Job 1-2, we discover that Satan believed Job was attached more to God's blessings than to God Himself. Through unimaginable loss, Job was forced to discover whether his security rested in God's gifts or in God alone. In this message, Pastor Rich explores three powerful truths: • Attachments are revealed when they are tested. • Attachments are broken through worship and surrender. • Attachments are replaced by a deeper relationship with God. The story of Job reminds us that God is not trying to diminish our joy. He is redirecting it toward the One who never changes.

Storms are a part of life. Some arrive suddenly. Others build slowly over time. The real question is not whether you'll face storms—it's what those storms reveal about your faith. In Luke 8, the disciples found themselves caught in a violent storm while Jesus slept in the boat. Fear took over. They believed they were going to drown. But when Jesus stood and spoke to the wind and waves, everything changed. In this message, we'll discover: • Why God sometimes allows storms in our lives • What storms reveal about our faith and trust • The difference between fear and faith • Why God calls us to stand firm instead of panic • How to trust Jesus when life feels out of control The storm wasn't bigger than Jesus. The disciples simply forgot who was with them. No matter what storm you are facing today, Jesus is still in the boat.

What giant are you facing today? Fear. Doubt. Discouragement. Financial pressure. Broken relationships. Health challenges. We all face giants, but the story of David and Goliath reminds us that victory is not found in our own strength—it is found through faith in God. In this message, Pastor Rich explores one of the Bible's most familiar stories and challenges us to look beyond the giants in front of us and focus on the God who is greater than them all. David's victory didn't begin in the valley; it began with a heart that trusted God long before the battle arrived. 📖 Scripture: 1 Samuel 17 Key Takeaways • The battle is often lost in our minds before it is ever fought in real life. • God often prepares us privately before He uses us publicly. • Victories are not found—they are pursued. • True victory comes through faith in Jesus Christ. • Don't settle for one victory when God has more for you. • Victory comes from a heart after Jesus. 🙏 Need prayer or want to take a next step? https://www.newfaithcw.org/next 📅 See upcoming events and ways to get involved: https://www.newfaithcw.org/life 🌱 Learn more about New Faith Church: https://www.newfaithcw.org If this message encouraged you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may be facing a giant of their own. #FacingGiants #DavidAndGoliath #FaithOverFear #NewFaithChurch #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #1Samuel17 #VictoryInChrist #Faith #JesusChrist

What does it mean to live empowered by the Holy Spirit? In this Pentecost Sunday message, we explore Acts 2 and the promise Jesus gave His followers: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” This sermon looks at the role of the Holy Spirit throughout Scripture, the purpose of Spirit baptism, and why God still empowers believers today. Using the illustration of a saw without a battery, this message reminds us that while faith in Christ brings salvation, God also desires to empower us to live boldly and be effective witnesses for Him. 📖 Primary Scripture: Acts 2:1–4 🔹 In this message: • The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament • The promise of Pentecost • Regeneration and sanctification • Empowerment for witness • Why the gifts of the Spirit still matter • “We are leaky vessels” • Living Spirit-filled daily ⏱ Chapters: 00:00 — Open 00:30 — Empowered to Witness 02:00 — Acts 2 and Pentecost 05:00 — The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament 10:00 — The Promise of the Spirit 14:00 — Regeneration and Sanctification 17:00 — Power to Be Witnesses 21:00 — Why the Gifts Still Matter 25:00 — We Are Leaky Vessels 28:00 — Final Challenge and Invitation 🙏 If you’d like prayer, want to take a next step, or would like to connect with New Faith Church: 👉 https://www.newfaithcw.org/next 📅 See upcoming events and ways to get involved: 👉 https://www.newfaithcw.org/life 🌐 Learn more about New Faith Church: 👉 https://www.newfaithcw.org #PentecostSunday #HolySpirit #Acts2 #SpiritFilled #Pentecost #ChristianFaith #BibleTeaching #Empowered #NewFaithChurch

Missionary Dave Johnson joined us this week with a powerful reminder that the mission of the Gospel is still unfinished. Through stories from across Asia, practical teaching from 2 Timothy 2, and a heartfelt challenge to the Church, Dave reminded us that God is still calling people to pray, give, go, and help raise up leaders who will reach the nations. 📖 Primary Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1–2 In this message, you’ll hear: • Why leadership multiplication matters in missions • Stories of God moving in Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Japan, and beyond • The challenge of reaching unreached people groups • Why “the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few” still matters today • How ordinary believers can help fulfill the Great Commission 🙏 If this message encouraged you, take a moment to like, subscribe, and share it with someone else.

Hannah’s story reminds us that some pain runs deeper than human solutions — but God sees our pain, hears our prayers, and calls us to trust Him with what matters most. In this Mother’s Day message from our “The 5th Gospel” series, we look at Hannah's life in 1 Samuel 1 and discover what true surrender, worship, and purpose really look like.

What does real faith actually look like? Many people believe in God—but belief alone isn’t the same as real faith. In this message, we explore the difference between knowing about God and truly trusting Him, even when life gets difficult. Through the powerful story of Desmond Doss and the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3, we’re challenged to examine where our faith is really placed—and what happens when it’s tested. 👉 When pressure comes, will your faith stand? 🔑 In this message: - The difference between belief and real faith - Why belief alone isn’t enough - How faith can be misplaced - What real, unshakable faith looks like - Why pressure reveals what’s truly inside us 📖 Key Scripture: Daniel 3, James 2:19 📍 New Faith Church Join us on Sundays at 10:30 AM 6700 Thrush Drive, Canal Winchester, Ohio 🌐 https://www.newfaithcw.org 🙏 Need prayer or want to take your next step?

This week’s message explores a struggle we all face: Why do I keep doing what I know is wrong? In Romans 7, we see the tension between our desire to do good and the reality of our flesh. The answer isn’t trying harder—it’s abiding in Jesus. Key Takeaways: The struggle with sin is real—but it doesn’t mean failure Good intentions alone cannot defeat sin There is a battle within all of us Desperation can lead to deliverance Victory is not trying harder—it’s abiding in Christ 📖 Primary Scripture: Romans 7:14–25 If you’d like to take a next step, submit a prayer request, or connect further, visit: 👉 https://www.newfaithcw.org/next To see upcoming events and ways to get involved: 👉 https://www.newfaithcw.org/life You can always learn more about our church at: 👉 https://www.newfaithcw.org
