Before you speak again… pause. Your words carry more power than you realize. Scripture tells us that “life and death are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21), and in this message we unpack how the words we speak shape our heart, our home, our relationships, and our influence. In this sermon, Pastor Rich walks through Proverbs 18:20–21 and explores: - How words are seeds that produce fruit in our lives - Why the condition of your heart determines the words you speak - How negative speech drains purpose, identity, and influence - Why speaking life is a calling for every believer - How Jesus, the Living Word, transforms how we talk, think, and love Whether you're struggling with discouragement, negativity, or frustration—or you simply want to grow in maturity and influence—this message will help you align your words with God’s heart and speak life into the people around you. 📖 Key Scriptures Proverbs 18:20–21 Matthew 15:18 2 Timothy 2:22 John 1:1 ⛪ Need Prayer?

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.

Discover how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things through the powerful story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. This miracle, uniquely recorded in all four gospels, reveals how God invites us to participate in His work even when we feel completely insufficient. When faced with feeding thousands, Philip calculated their insufficiency while the disciples suggested sending the crowds away. But one unnamed boy simply offered his small lunch - five loaves and two fish - which Jesus multiplied to feed everyone with abundance left over. This pattern appears throughout the Bible as God consistently chooses insufficient people to accomplish His purposes - Abraham, Moses, David, Mary, Peter, and Paul. The kingdom of God operates on a different economy where resources are infinite, not limited by what we can see. Learn how the disciples' exhausting service became one of their greatest testimonies, while the crowd missed the blessing by trying to manipulate Jesus for their own purposes. Discover practical applications for finding your place in God's plan, offering what you have despite feeling insufficient, and experiencing the joy of participating in God's work.
