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

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.

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

Who is Jesus—really? Is He just a good teacher… or something more? In this message, we walk through one of the most powerful statements Jesus ever made: 👉 “I am the way and the truth and the life…” — John 14:6 This sermon explores: The real question: Are we shaping Jesus… or following Him? The evidence for Jesus—historical and biblical Why Jesus is not just a way, but the way What it means that Jesus is truth in a confused world How real life is found in Christ—not success, status, or possessions The decision every person must make 🔑 Key Takeaways Faith is not meant to be transactional—it’s relational Salvation is not about direction… it’s about connection Truth is not subjective—Jesus is truth Life is not found in what we achieve—but in who we follow 📖 Scriptures Referenced John 14:6–7 Romans 12:2 Romans 3:23 2 Corinthians 4:4 Hebrews 10:19–20 John 1:18 John 10:10 John 11:25 Romans 10:9 🙌 Next Steps If this message spoke to you, don’t stop here. 👉 Grow in your faith: https://www.newfaithcw.org/grow If you have questions, need prayer, or want to take your next step, we’d love to connect with you. ⛪ About New Faith Church We exist to help people connect, grow, and find their purpose so they can serve God and others. 📍 Canal Winchester, Ohio 🌐 https://www.newfaithcw.org 🔔 Stay Connected Subscribe for weekly messages Share this with someone who needs it Leave a comment—we’d love to hear from you

Does anybody know what we are living for? In this message from New Faith Church, we explore a powerful truth: your life is telling a story. Whether you realize it or not, you are influencing people every day. Jesus is still relevant today—and He’s chosen to work through you. 📖 Primary Scripture: Ezekiel 33:1–9 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS You are the Fifth Gospel. Your life is a message to the people around you—what are you showing them? You are influencing people every day. In your workplace, your neighborhood, and your daily routines—people are watching your life. You are responsible for sharing, not saving. Like the watchman in Ezekiel 33, your role is to speak and live the truth—God handles the results. Sharing your faith doesn’t have to be forced. Simple, natural conversations can open the door for God to work. Jesus is still the answer. In a confused and searching world, Christ remains the only true source of life and hope. 🙏 TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP If you’d like prayer or want to take a next step in your faith: 👉 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 🔔 STAY CONNECTED Like, subscribe, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement this week.

What does it really mean to live a resurrected life? In this powerful message from John 11, we see that Jesus doesn’t just offer life after death—He offers a new way to live right now.

Is God really first in your life — or has He slowly been pushed back? In this Palm Sunday message, we look at the difference between saying God is first and actually living with Him first. Through the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, this sermon challenges us to examine what is really sitting on the throne of our lives. Palm Sunday reminds us that the crowd praised Jesus as King — but many still wanted Him on their own terms. That same struggle still shows up in our lives today. Work, family, comfort, distractions, money, and even good things can slowly crowd God out of first place. This message explores: what it really means to keep God first how spiritual drift happens why Jesus came not just to be admired, but to be Lord how to reorder your life when you realize God has been pushed back If you’ve ever felt spiritually distracted, distant, or out of order, this message is for you. Scriptures in this message: John 12:12–15 Philippians 2:5 Exodus 20:3 Matthew 6:33 Romans 12:2 Romans 10:9 Key Takeaways: God doesn’t ask to be merely important — He asks to be first. Spiritual drift usually doesn’t happen all at once. Jesus didn’t come just to be praised for a moment — He came to be Lord. When God is first, everything else begins to find its proper place.

What does real compassion actually look like? In this message from our Mind of Christ series, we explore how Jesus saw people, responded to suffering, and calls us to do the same. Compassion is more than feeling—it’s seeing a need, feeling it deeply, and being moved to act. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Compassion isn’t passive—it always leads to action Jesus saw people differently—He looked past behavior and saw the heart Many people notice pain, fewer feel it, and even fewer do something about it Truth without compassion becomes harsh, but compassion without truth becomes compromise Busyness is one of the biggest barriers to living a compassionate life When we reflect Christ’s compassion, lives—including ours—are transformed 📖 Scripture References: Matthew 9:36 Mark 1:40–41 Matthew 14:14 Colossians 3:12 Matthew 7:1–2 Ephesians 4:32 1 Peter 3:8 2 Corinthians 3:18 Matthew 18:33 🙌 Next Steps: If this message spoke to you, take a step today: Reach out to someone who’s hurting Spend time with God and ask Him to shape your heart Slow down and notice the people around you 🔗 Connect With Us: 👉 Next Steps / Prayer / Connection: https://www.newfaithcw.org/next 👉 Events & What’s Happening: https://www.newfaithcw.org/life 👉 Learn More About New Faith Church: https://www.newfaithcw.org 📺 Watch More Sermons: https://www.newfaithcw.org/recent-sermons

This week’s message in our Mind of Christ series focuses on one of the most important — and often most challenging — parts of following Jesus: obedience. Looking at Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, we see what it really means to say, “not my will, but Yours.” But what does that look like in our everyday lives? In this message, Dwight Sherrick shares both biblical truth and personal experience to show that obedience isn’t always easy, immediate, or obvious — but it always matters. Even when you don’t see results right away, your obedience is making an impact. 🔑 Key Takeaways Obedience is central to following Christ — not optional Your obedience has an impact — even when you don’t see it yet Obedience often comes before results — not after Lordship requires submission — not just belief Faith and obedience work together — not separately 📖 Scriptures Referenced Matthew 26:36–39 Genesis 6:22 Luke 6:46 Hebrews 11:6 2 Corinthians 2:14 ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 — Cold Open: No Obedience, No Triumph 00:18 — The Mind of Christ: Obedience 01:25 — Jesus in Gethsemane 03:30 — Why Obedience Matters 07:00 — What Obedience Looks Like 08:00 — Your Obedience Has an Impact 10:45 — Obedience Before Results (Testimony) 11:56 — Lordship & Obedience 15:00 — Walking in Obedience Daily 18:23 — No Obedience, No Triumph 19:30 — Final Encouragement & Prayer 🙏 Next Steps If you’d like to take a next step, submit a prayer request, or connect further, visit: 👉 www.newfaithcw.org/next To see upcoming events and ways to get involved: 👉 www.newfaithcw.org/life Learn more about New Faith Church: 👉 www.newfaithcw.org 💬 Final Encouragement Obedience may not always feel easy — and it may not always bring immediate results — but it is always shaping your life and drawing you closer to God. Keep moving forward. It matters more than you think.

What does it really mean to have the mind of Christ? In this message from Philippians 2:5–11, we explore how Jesus modeled humility, servanthood, and obedience—even to the point of death on a cross. The apostle Paul challenges believers to adopt the same mindset, reminding us that the Christian life is not simply behavior modification, but true mind transformation. Jesus chose humility over status, obedience over comfort, and service over recognition. And through that humility, God exalted Him above every name. As followers of Christ, we are invited to live with the same mindset—serving others, walking in humility, and trusting God with the results. Key Takeaways • The Christian life is not behavior modification—it is mind transformation • The mind of Christ is marked by humility and servanthood • Jesus chose obedience over comfort, even to death on the cross • The pathway to glory in God’s kingdom runs through humility • When we choose the towel instead of the throne, God takes care of the exaltation Scripture: Philippians 2:5–11, Romans 12:2, Romans 5:19, John 13, & Isaiah 45:23 00:00 Christianity is not behavior modification 00:18 The Mind of Christ series introduction 01:10 The command to have the mind of Christ 04:30 The humility of Jesus 08:45 The obedience of Christ 12:00 The pathway to exaltation 14:30 Practical application 16:30 The towel or the throne Connect With New Faith Church 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 Learn more about our church: 👉 https://www.newfaithcw.org About New Faith Church New Faith Church is a welcoming church in Canal Winchester, Ohio, committed to helping people connect with God, grow in faith, and discover their purpose.

Where Weakness Becomes Witness | Galatians 6 Spiritual maturity is proven in how we handle someone else’s weakness. Show More In Galatians 6, Paul calls believers to carry one another’s burdens while still taking personal responsibility for their own walk with Christ. Christianity was never designed to be lived in isolation — it is built on interdependence, humility, and love in action. In this message, we explore: • What it really means to restore someone gently • The difference between a burden and a personal load • Why pride keeps us isolated • How sharing burdens strengthens the church • Why isolation magnifies pain but community diffuses it • The greatest burden every person must deal with The church helps with crushing weight, but it does not replace personal responsibility. If you’re carrying something heavy, you don’t have to do it alone. 📖 Main Text: Galatians 6:1–5 📍 New Faith Church – Canal Winchester, Ohio 🌐 Learn more: https://www.newfaithcw.org 🙏 Need prayer or want to take your next step? https://www.newfaithcw.org/next If this message encouraged you, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who may need it.

Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21) In this message, we explore what the Bible really teaches about tithing, generosity, stewardship, and surrender. From Abraham to the Law to the teachings of Jesus, this sermon walks through the whole counsel of Scripture to answer an important question: Is giving about a percentage — or about the heart? This message also addresses something practical many people struggle with — financial tension. Before generosity can be joyful, finances must be understood. When Christ has your heart, He will have your treasure. 📖 Scripture References Matthew 6:19–21 Genesis 14:18–20 Genesis 28:20–22 Proverbs 3:9–10 Leviticus 27:30 Malachi 3:8–10 Matthew 23:23 2 Corinthians 9:6–8 Psalm 24:1 Haggai 2:8 🔎 Key Themes Tithing before the Law Giving under grace Stewardship vs ownership Cheerful generosity Financial discipline and budgeting Surrender over percentage 🙏 Need Prayer or a Next Step?
