In week 4 of our Hebrews series, Pastor Mike shows that Jesus is our Great High Priest who fully sympathizes with our weakness. He knows hunger, thirst, betrayal, rejection, grief, and temptation—yet without sin. Because of this, we can confidently approach the throne of grace for mercy and help in our time of need. Pastor Mike walks us through the role of the high priest and the temple—from the altar and laver to the showbread, lampstand, and incense—culminating in the torn veil and the mercy seat. Jesus is the Gate, the Lamb of God, the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, and our Intercessor who declares, “It is finished.” His perfect sacrifice ends the old system and gives us full access to God. Now we are called priests who study the Word, share the good news, and keep our temples holy. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://w

Hebrews 4:12 calls the word of God living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. The Bible isn’t powerful if it remains closed—it comes alive when we engage with it and let it engage us. The logos (Jesus, the Word made flesh) and the rhema (the Spirit’s spoken word) cut to the core of who we are, exposing thoughts and intentions while shaping our lives. We’re reminded that the Word is not meant to be hurled from a distance but used up close in relationship, with grace and truth. Listening, responding, and yielding to God’s Word brings revival, peace, and true rest. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

In this week’s message, “In This House” from Hebrews 3:4–6, Pastor Jarod teaches that Christ is the faithful Son over God’s house, and we are that house if we remain confident in Him. He reminds us that although we are imperfect, Jesus continues working in us because of His love. Together we declare bold convictions: in this house we believe there are no perfect people, the full gospel is alive, only Christ destroys the devil’s work, Jesus is both fully God and fully man, unity is essential, and God’s Word is our firm foundation. Pastor Jarod closes by calling us to hold fast our confidence, keep our courage, and remain firm in our hope until the very end. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

In the first message of our new "Hebrews" series, "The Danger of the Drift", Pastor Jarod reminds us that in the past God spoke through the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son. Hebrews warns us to pay close attention so we don’t drift away, because drift is subtle—small deviations tolerated over time create massive detours. God gives us a choice in these last days: His wisdom, which is available to all who ask, or His wrath, revealed when truth is suppressed, and hearts grow dark. Even when the current feels strong, with His grace we can course correct and fix our eyes on Jesus. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

In the message “What Do You See?” guest speaker John Vereecken unpacks the power of perspective—the inner lens that shapes how we live. Walking through five levels of perspective, he shows how shifting from “me” to a mature, others-focused outlook transforms life. Colossians 3:2 reminds us to look up and see things from Christ’s perspective: step out of your world, into someone else’s, feel what they feel, help, act, and repeat. When you see life different, you will live life different. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

Pastor Michael Stephens teaches on one of the most radical elements of the Christian life—prayer. Prayer is not about formulas or manipulation but about relationship with the Father who is merciful, powerful, and faithful. Jesus models withdrawing to pray, fully confident that His Father hears and answers. From that relationship, He declares, “Ask anything in my name, and it will be done.” Pastor Michael calls us to move from general prayers to specific prayers, knowing prayer is both communion with God and a weapon to demolish strongholds. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | @newtribechurch Facebook | @newtribechurch YouTube | @newtribechurch

Jesus said, “among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist, yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Too often, we give the highest playback to our lowest performance, but grace reminds us we are doing better than we think. Comparison starves joy and feeds insecurity, but Jesus compares our least to His greatest and still calls us greater. By faith we are made alive with Christ, raised up, and seated with Him in heavenly places. Even when we fumble, God deletes the video and reminds us — “you are Greater Than.” ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

In this message, "It’s Worth It", we see how Jesus’ words in Matthew 9:35–38 call His disciples into the harvest. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Just like in a job where the hardest tasks often lead to the greatest return, the work of the kingdom can be messy and difficult, but the return is always worth it. Jesus shows us that the reason workers are few often comes down to a kind of “spiritual fog.” That fog is cleared through forgiveness, obedience, and grieving. Forgiveness must be complete, obedience removes excuses, and grieving heals unprocessed loss. The truth is, serving in the kingdom can bring challenges, but the return on labor is greater than the work. It’s worth it. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

To live a radical life in Christ is to be rooted deeper than traditions, preferences, or surface experiences. When storms come, roots in Him make us unshakable, immovable, and unbreakable. That’s why we make the church we go to the church we belong to, the church we serve, and the church we give through. We plant ourselves where God is moving and invest our heart, hands, and resources in His Kingdom. Our giving reflects our heart for His people, and heaven rejoices over every soul that turns to Jesus. Being rooted is about being built up in Him and established in the faith. This is the radical life—to love, serve, and live like never before. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

Pastor Mike Cole kicks off our new series Radical Life: Love, Serve, and Live Like Never Before by unpacking the journey of Moses—a man who doesn’t feel ready, but God calls anyway. Step by step, God equips him through signs, support, and trust-building moments. The message is clear: you don’t need to have it all figured out to say yes to God. From Moses to today, living a radical life means trusting that God is on the move and following Him—even when the path doesn’t make sense. Radical faith begins with obedience. Just say yes. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

Guest speaker Garrett Prechtl shares a powerful message about Jesus as our Healer. Healing can happen through miracles, medicine, or even unexpected methods—but it always happens in His hands. Don’t let bitterness block your view. What matters most isn’t how God heals—it’s that He still does, and He still gets the glory. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

This message unpacks what it means to “bear arms” in the Spirit and how to demolish strongholds—false beliefs that take root in the mind and quietly erode our faith. Using powerful examples from Scripture and everyday life, we’re reminded that some battles must be fought beneath the surface. Before we overcome what’s out there, we have to confront what’s in here. Don’t fall back—hold the line. Your freedom is worth fighting for. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

In a message titled Freedom of Speech, Pastor Jarod explores the biblical weight of our words in a culture that celebrates saying whatever we want. While the First Amendment protects free expression in the natural, Scripture reveals that spiritual speech carries binding and loosing power—shaping destinies, relationships, and even eternal outcomes. Drawing from James, Proverbs, and the words of Jesus, this message challenges believers to move beyond careless talk and align their mouths with the Word of God. With vivid illustrations and heartfelt moments, the sermon shows how past words can entangle us—but how the Spirit can set us free. Ultimately, freedom of speech for the Christ-follower isn’t about saying what we want; it’s about being set free from speech that no longer serves God’s purposes. This is a call to purify our language, break word curses, and speak life with heaven’s authority. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtr

For Student Takeover Sunday, Pastor Josh breaks down the creation narrative and some student camp experiences to reveal God's heart for rhythms of rest in our lives. The Bible reveals that time is a gift from God to be stewarded, although our busy lives sometimes lead to a stewardship problem with time. We need to return to God's drawing board by studying Genesis 1 and the life of Jesus to rediscover His design for our lives. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

Teaching Pastor Michael Stephens continues our Freedom series by looking at how Jesus dismantled a religious spirit that prioritized performance over relationship. Walking through stories in the Gospels, we see how cultural traditions had distorted God’s intent—turning rest into burden and obedience into competition. Jesus didn’t abolish the law; He taught and lived it rightly, revealing the heart of the Father and calling people up, not out. A religious spirit complicates what God made clear and tries to fix external behavior without healing the internal disconnect. True freedom is found not in rule-keeping, but in relationship with Jesus. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

In this message, Pastor Jarod uses the image of message settings to reveal how the messages we choose to accept give more access to the messenger. Based on 2 Corinthians 12:7–9, we see that Paul was harassed by a messenger of Satan, but instead of hiding it, he chose to boast in his weakness so the power of Christ could rest on him. Paul never played the victim—he stood under grace, not under the weight of his past. His story reminds us that God doesn’t always remove the thorn, but He does redeem it. It’s time to update your message settings. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

In this message, Pastor Jarod uses the picture of yard work to show how cutting back, growing up, and walking in freedom requires effort—but it’s worth the work. Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23, we learn that God is the one who sanctifies us, but He can only sanctify what we surrender. Through four practical steps—Yielding, Alignment, Renewal, and Discipline—we discover how spiritual growth happens when we stay committed to the process. Sanctified doesn’t mean perfect; it means committed. And just like yard work, transformation takes time, attention, and a willingness to keep it between the lines. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

In Don’t Quit at “I Do”, Pastor Jarod takes us from the tragic fallout between Cain and God to the fiery outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. With powerful illustrations, cultural backstory, and scriptural depth, this message confronts a sobering truth: it’s possible to do spiritual things—sing, serve, give—without ever truly listening to God. Just like Cain, we can go through the motions while resisting correction, forfeiting favor. But there’s good news—Jesus has with a Spirit of freedom, inviting us into a deeper, ongoing relationship. Whether you’ve said “I do” to Jesus and grown cold, or you've said “I do” to things you now regret, God’s voice is calling. This is your invitation to be filled again, to walk by the Spirit, and to wear the wedding garments of fire. Don’t quit where covenant begins—don’t quit at “I do.” ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.insta

From the series on Freedom: Stop Betting On Blame is a powerful, personal, and practical message from Pastor Jarod Smith, digging deep into Genesis 3 and the first moment blame ever entered the human experience. With humor, vulnerability, and biblical insight, Pastor Jarod shares a real-life story from his early marriage—and connects it to Adam’s response in the garden: “The woman YOU gave me…” Instead of owning his part, Adam deflected blame to Eve—and even to God. This message explores what happens when we gamble with blame: * Why our default is to find fault upward (with God) when pain comes sideways (from others) * How blame leads to bondage, but confession leads to freedom (Proverbs 28:13) * How Jesus not only empathizes with our pain but empowers us to walk in victory * What it means to identify the real enemy—and stop letting lies shape our identity

Are you hiding behind a version of faith that looks good on the outside but conceals fear, shame, and distance from God? In this compelling message, Pastor Jarod Smith takes us back to Genesis 3 to expose the first "cover-up" in human history—when Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves to hide their shame. Through biblical insight, personal stories, and spiritual revelation, we uncover what fig leaf faith really is: a faith built on appearance, performance, and self-reliance. You’ll discover: - Why hiding from God always leads to emptiness - How the enemy uses doubt and desire to distort God’s Word - What it means that God clothed Adam and Eve—foreshadowing Christ - And how Jesus came not to expose you, but to cover you with grace If you’ve ever felt the pressure to look put together on the outside while falling apart inside, this message is for you. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram
