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.

📖 Forgiveness: The Cure for Division | Matthew 18 Teaching Sermon What happens when forgiveness is withheld? According to Jesus, the consequences are far more serious than we often realize. In this teaching from Matthew 18, we explore why sin creates division, how unforgiveness damages the body of Christ, and why forgiveness is not optional for believers. Jesus doesn’t just command forgiveness—He gives us a clear, biblical process for healing broken relationships and restoring unity. This sermon clearly distinguishes between sin and offense, addresses commonly misunderstood verses, and explains why unforgiveness brings spiritual bondage. If you’ve ever struggled with resentment, conflict, or unresolved hurt, this message offers biblical clarity and sober truth. “Forgiveness is simple — but it’s not easy.” 🔍 Key Topics Covered Why sin separates us from God and from one another The biblical difference between sin and offense Jesus’ step-by-step process for reconciliation (Matthew 18:15–20) The parable of the unforgiving servant Why context matters when interpreting Scripture How unforgiveness gives the enemy ground Why forgiveness is a command, not a suggestion 📌 Scripture References Matthew 18:15–35 Matthew 6:12, 14–15 1 Corinthians 13:5 🛠 Production Note Please note: due to unexpected technical issues, portions of this message may include minor audio variations.

The Father Who Knows Everything—and Loves You Anyway What does it really mean to call Jesus our Everlasting Father? In this message, we explore the truth that Jesus is eternal, personal, and present—and that His love has no beginning and no end. He knows everything about us: our failures, our struggles, the things we try to hide… and He loves us anyway. We also confront a difficult but freeing truth: unforgiveness breaks intimacy with God. When we hold on to bitterness, it doesn’t just affect our relationships with others—it affects our closeness with Him. But through Jesus, forgiveness is possible, and freedom is available. This sermon invites us to: See Jesus as our eternal reference point Experience real intimacy with God Let go of unforgiveness that holds us back Walk in the freedom Christ provides If you’re carrying something heavy, struggling to forgive, or longing to feel closer to God, this message is for you. 📖 Key Scriptures: Isaiah 9:6 • Genesis 1:1 • John 1:1 • John 6:38 • John 17:24 • Philippians 2:6–7 • John 1:14 • Matthew 6:15 🙏 We pray this message encourages your heart and draws you closer to the Everlasting Father.

When life gets noisy, who’s really steering your decisions—the world’s opinions or God’s truth? In “Who’s Driving Your Life?”, Pastor Rich Vinson of New Faith Church (Canal Winchester, OH) invites us to look at what’s driving our hearts, habits, and priorities. Are we world-led and media-driven, or Word-led and Spirit-driven? Drawing from John 12:44-50, Pastor Rich reminds us that Jesus came as light into a dark world—not to condemn, but to save. When we allow the Holy Spirit to guide our lives, everything changes: our perspective, our peace, and the way we see people. 🔹 Key Scriptures: John 12:44-50 | 1 John 4:16 | Psalm 139:16 | 1 Corinthians 3:6 💡 Key Takeaways: • Let the Word of God shape your daily habits. • Transparent faith reflects Christ more than perfection does. • Love unconditionally—even when it’s uncomfortable. • Share your testimony; it’s a light to others. • Stop judging and start sharing what Jesus has done. • Seek discomfort—Jesus did. 🙌 Join Us In Person We’d love to meet you!

Stop Watching and Start Doing Jesus doesn’t just save us — He sends us. This week’s message from Kenji Kuriyama of Chi Alpha at The Ohio State University reminds us that faith isn’t meant to stay in the stands — it’s meant to move. Before diving into the sermon (09:56), Kenji shares how God is moving powerfully on college campuses — including a student-led revival among OSU football players that’s spreading the gospel and changing lives. Then, in Luke 4–10, we learn what Jesus showed His disciples before sending them out—and how that same call applies to us today. It’s time to stop watching and start doing. 🔑 Key Takeaways Faith grows when we act on what we believe. Serving isn’t just for others — it strengthens our faith. Jesus still sends ordinary people to do extraordinary things. We are called to make disciples who make disciples. The harvest is ready — let’s be the ones who go. 📖 Scripture Focus: Luke 4–10 ⛪ About New Faith Church New Faith Church – Canal Winchester, Ohio Our mission: Connect with God and others.
