Who Are You Connected To? | What You Connect To Will Condition Your Heart
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? | Blessed Are Those Who Hunger for Righteousness
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 is Not Optional
📖 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. This sermon was preached following one of our children’s Christmas programs, which is why a Christmas-themed background appears behind the speaker. Thank you for your grace and understanding as you focus on the message. 🙏 A Note for Viewers This message is teaching-focused and ends with a clear biblical warning. If you’re watching online and sense conviction or reflection, take time to pray and ask God to reveal where forgiveness may be needed. Healing begins with obedience and humility. 🔔 Stay Connected If this message encouraged or challenged you: 👍 Like the video 💬 Share it with someone who may need it 🔔 Subscribe for future sermons and teachings Forgiveness heals division.

Everlasting Father
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.

We Serve A Might God
We Serve a Mighty God In this message, we continue our series The Names of Jesus by focusing on one powerful name — Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6).

When Hope Breaks Through - Stories of Hope from the Darkness
Tony opens with a short teaching from John 9, the story of the man born blind. A simple pattern frames the entire service: Before → Jesus shows up → After “I was blind, but now I can see.” Then, one by one, members of our church family share how Jesus stepped into their darkness and changed everything. 🌟 Powerful Testimonies Included in This Video • Valerie’s miracle healing from a rare genetic blood disorder Once told she wouldn’t live to see 40, she now stands in remission and thriving. “It truly is amazing what God can do.” • Jessie, a former gang member finding freedom, faith, and restoration “Drugs and gangs left me hopeless… but God gave me hope, and He brought me home.” • Shelly shares the story of baby Summer’s life saved after 98% mortality prognosis. Doctors said, “Come see her one last time.” God said otherwise — and she’s alive, healed, and full of joy. • Diana’s midnight encounter with the presence of God “I woke up and said, ‘Lord, I’m here.’ And God said, ‘No… I’m here.’” • Susie’s story of restoration, worth, healing, and identity God gave her a dream, a name, and a new understanding of His love: “You are worthy of love.” • Tom’s story of evangelism in Singapore A stranger in a food court…30 minutes later, she gave her life to Christ. “God does incredible things.” • Tony’s journey through Celebrate Recovery & a transformed heart “You can’t fix anyone else. You just need to worry about you — and let God do His work.” • Jennifer shares about her newborn baby, who was without a heartbeat for 13 minutes — brought back to life. Her name is Anastasia — meaning “Resurrection.” 🔥 Why Testimonies Matter Testimony does four things: 1️⃣ Lifts Jesus up 2️⃣ Builds up the speaker 3️⃣ Stirs up faith in those who hear 4️⃣ Defeats the enemy (Rev. 12:11) Your story is spiritual warfare. Your story is prophecy (Rev. 19:10). Your story pushes back the darkness.

Leaders Lead With Unconditional Love
In a world filled with conflict, comparison, and spiritual tension, what does it truly mean to lead like Jesus? In this week’s message, Pastor Rich walks us through 1 Corinthians 13 and reminds us that unconditional love is not just a virtue — it’s our greatest spiritual weapon. Drawing from Ephesians 6:12, Pastor Rich shows that the battles we face aren’t against people, opinions, or ideologies, but against spiritual forces that can only be overcome through the love of Christ. You’ll discover: ✔️ Why love—not gifting—is the true measure of spiritual maturity ✔️ How a blinded or misplaced heart keeps us from loving well ✔️ Why leaders must love unconditionally, even when it’s difficult ✔️ How enduring love prepares us for eternity ✔️ What it means to trust God fully as the first step toward loving others Whether you're a seasoned leader, a new believer, or someone searching for hope, this message will challenge and encourage you to live out a love that reflects the heart of Jesus. 📖 Key Scriptures 1 Corinthians 13 Ephesians 6:12 Micah 6:8 🕊️ If you need prayer or made a decision for Christ today, visit our website or message us — we’d love to connect, pray with you, and help you take your next step in following Jesus. 📍 New Faith Church — Canal Winchester, Ohio https://www.newfaithcw.org Connect.

Before You Speak
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?

Who’s Driving Your Life?
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 -- Start Doing
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.

Sponge or Fountain
Discover how the prophet Jonah's journey from rebellion to obedience reveals God's heart for missions and evangelism. This powerful biblical story explores themes of spiritual growth, divine calling, missionary work, and global evangelism. Learn the difference between being a spiritual sponge versus a fountain in your Christian walk and faith journey. Jonah's story demonstrates how God uses imperfect people for His perfect purposes in reaching the nations. Despite the prophet's initial disobedience and attempt to flee from God's calling, divine sovereignty prevailed. The account shows how God can transform hearts, use failures for His glory, and accomplish His mission of salvation even through reluctant servants. Key topics covered include hearing God's voice, responding to divine calling, overcoming spiritual rebellion, and developing a heart for missions. The transformation of both Jonah and the city of Nineveh illustrates God's desire for repentance and salvation among all people groups and nations. This message addresses common struggles in Christian discipleship, including spiritual stagnation, fear of evangelism, and resistance to God's calling. Learn practical steps for positioning yourself to hear from God daily, choosing obedience over comfort, and finding your place in kingdom service. The story also reveals how God can use even our mistakes and failures as witnessing opportunities, as seen when pagan sailors came to faith during Jonah's rebellion. This encourages believers that perfect performance isn't required for God to work through us in missions and evangelism . Whether you're struggling with spiritual growth, seeking your purpose in God's kingdom, or wanting to develop a heart for missions, this biblical account provides timeless wisdom for modern disciples. Discover how active service and obedience to God's calling can transform stagnant faith into dynamic spiritual life.
