Purpose (Why We Exist): Loving Others

Our purpose is clear—we are called to love God and love others. This sermon, "United: We Are New Life," invites us to embrace the heart of Jesus' message from Matthew 22:36-40. We are reminded that loving God with our whole being must come first, and from that place, we are empowered to love those around us. Through humility, patience, and unity (Ephesians 4:1-3), we are called to reflect God’s love in our homes, our church, and our community. Together, we live out this purpose—one act of love at a time.

Scripture References: Matthew 22:36-40, Ephesians 4:1-3

From Series: " United | We Are New Life"

Have you ever wondered what unites New Life Church? Is it just the desire to attend Sunday morning services, which is what we do as Christians, or could something more connect and interweave us as a church? Our next sermon series, “United | We Are New Life” will focus on what unites us as a local church- our purpose, vision, and mission! These topics can become something that hangs on a wall or something that we say by rote, but at New Life, we want to go beyond that, making them something that’s at the core of our church DNA and echoing in our personal lives. You will not want to miss this series and may wish to invite friends and family to come and hear about what New Life is like as a church. As we go through this series, we hope it informs you about what unifies our church and how you are a part of what the Holy Spirit is doing in our midst. We are a local church body pursuing Christ with our all, not just on Sunday but seven days a week, doing life together. To be clear, the goal of this message series is not preaching artificial conformity to religious activity, but what brings unity of the Holy Spirit at New Life Church as we bring our diverse stories, perspectives, gifts, and talents, submitting them all to the Lord Jesus Christ. We desire that after this series, you have a greater understanding of how God is unifying us through the Holy Spirit working in each of our lives and as a church. And you can boldly say, “United- We Are New Life Church.”
