New Life Fellowship Podcast

Muslims and Jews have very little issues with Jesus as a teacher or prophet but they deny His resurrection - that the hope we have is a living hope in the person of Jesus Christ. We have have this living hope inside us but do we ‘live’ like we do? We often don’t because of distractions. John 5: 1-17 details the distractions of the enemy that deny us the vision of Jesus Our Living Hope.

Through our faith in Christ, we have been baptised into Christ and therefore become sons of God with authority and power. This applies to all believers, Jews and Gentiles alike, slave and free, men and women – all are one in Christ.

God didn’t give the Law through Moses as a template for us to follow. Instead, it was meant to show us that we could never live up to those standards on our own. And that there would have to be another way to Him – faith in Christ Jesus. But now that we have Jesus, we no longer need the Law. For it has done its purpose in leading us to Jesus by showing us our failure. Now, we live in and from Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul understood what the Judaizer in Galatia did not. Hundreds of years before God made a covenant with Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai, He had made a covenant with Abraham and Jesus. A covenant that came into effect on the cross, giving us an inheritance in Christ that is greater than you can ever imagine. Pastor Ross teaches from Galatians 3: 15-18 and explains what we have received in the will.

Do you want to follow and obey God’s Law? Because if you do, you will be cursed. That is the Apostle Paul’s warning to the Galatians in chapter 3, where he reminds them that unless they are perfect, they are subject to all the curses of the Law. Fortunately, God has sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who became a curse for us that all might receive the promise of Abraham’s blessing – the Holy Spirit. And through faith in the Holy Spirit – life.

The way we look at our bodies governs how we treat ourselves and others. We all have a theology of the body - and so does Satan. We need God’s perspective. Anything other than His, is a perspective that leads to death. Sin has given us the ability to create a theology of the body apart from God. The body is an instrument of righteousness - it is made to be surrendered to God’s purposes. But God is the best caretaker of the body and surrender to his care is better than our care. In order to do that we need to accept our bodies as they are - because God does.

Have you considered Abraham? In Galatians 3: 6-9, the Apostle Paul argues that our justification is by faith and not by fulfilling the Law by appealing to the father of our faith – Abraham. He proves that Abraham was made righteous simply by his faith in God. Therefore, it only makes sense that to be included in this family, one must exercise the same faith. Which also allows us to become benefactors of the same covenant.

After chapter 11, the story of Genesis follows in detail the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. But in chapter 38, there is an odd story of Judah and his daughter-in-law Tamar. But this story provides a contrast with the story of Joseph in chapter 39 to demonstrate the nature of God's grace. What we do, doesn't diminish who we are. Who we are, is the result of what God does.

Paul accuses the Galatian Christians of being foolish - unthinking and unreflecting - when it comes to understanding the freedom they had from the Law to earn God's approval. Life after salvation is the same as how salvation comes to be - trusting in Jesus' work.

When we struggle to accept that God has made us righteous in Him through Jesus’ work on the cross, we are frustrating and rejecting God’s grace. If you can’t accept yourself as you are today, then you believe that you have higher standards than God and that Jesus didn’t do enough. That frustrates God because if that could be the case, then Jesus wouldn’t have needed to die.

There is a season for routines, procedures, safety and predictability but there is no life in ‘them’. There is only life and power found in a Person - in the Person of Jesus Christ. As those who are in Christ - we haven’t been made subject to rules of living but we have been made alive to God in everything we do, think and say. This lends itself to unpredictability, foiled routines, subsequent danger at times but most importantly joy. Pastor Robin explains in today’s message how Acts 3: 1-10 illustrates a life lived and led expectant of a good God.

Walking in the Spirit. Abiding in Christ. Resting in Jesus. Christ living through me. All of these phrases point to the same concept, that Jesus Christ now lives in and through us as the dynamic power that animates us to live the Christian life. Or as the Apostle explained it to the Galatians, “Not I, but Christ.” Join Pastor Ross as he illustrates and explains what this incredible and often misunderstood concept means in practical terms.

If the most important question is, “Who is God?” Then the second most important question is, “Who am I?” The world around us is obsessed with trying to answer that question through identity politics, gender wars, sexuality, striving, and even religious effort. But to answer the question of who I am, we need to also understand what determines who I am. Pastor Ross reveals the powerful truth of Galatians 2 and verse 20 and what it tells us about God’s answer to our identity. And the good news is that you are likely not who you think you are.

Paul warns the church in the epistles against complaining and grumbling. In a society where complaints and voiced disagreement is encouraged and celebrated - sometimes Christians wonder whether they should speak up or not. However, complaints are all over the Psalms. It is common for psalmists to complain so what’s the key to living a life not dominated by complaint and disillusionment but also acknowledges human struggle. Psalm 67 presents a key phrase that helps the believer receive what is true about how to live a complaint free life.

The story of the death and return to life of Lazarus in John 11 is a surprising story of how we can deepen our relationship with Jesus through communion with Him, trusting Him, willingness to experience emotions and community. Guest speaker Peter Watt from Crossways to Life illustrates the values and leaves the viewers with an illustration that reminds us of our need for Jesus and other believers.

In writing to Timothy, the Apostle Paul says that there are those who want to be teachers of the Law, though they do not understand what they are saying, because they don’t understand that the Law is not for believers. This is the basis of the argument when Paul confronted Peter in Galatians 2. Why then did God give the Law? What was the purpose if not to provide a manual to live by? These questions are answered in this message by Pastor Ross.

Justification by faith and not by works of the law is one of the central and most important doctrines of the Christian faith. But why is so important? Pastor Ross explains what it means to be justified by grace and the glory of what it leads to by exploring what the Apostle Paul said to Peter when he confronted his hypocrisy in Galatians chapter 2.

God’s presence is a guarantee and a promise of the new covenant but what do we do when God feels distant? Or worse, when we feel indifferent to his presence with us. Psalm 42 is a description of our human experience of loneliness and despair in the life of faith. Pastor Robin describes God’s response in Psalm 42 as a new covenant privilege.

Like William Wallace, the great cry of every Christian ought to be “Freedom!” Because of Christ, we are freed from the Law, to live under grace. But what does it mean to be free from the Law? Don’t we still have some obligation to it? In this message, Pastor Ross explains what living under a Law system looks like compared to living under grace with Jesus.

One of the hardest things in life is to change what we think. The Apostle Paul faced a crisis after encountering Jesus on the road to Damascus. Would he hold on to everything he believed and was taught growing up? Or would he lay it all aside to follow Jesus. The revelation of Jesus Christ that included a revelation of his flesh, along with who Jesus is, who he was in Jesus, and who Jesus was in him forever changed him and the course of history.

There has always existed pressure to adapt the gospel of grace that is Jesus plus nothing, to become more pleasing to others. Either to add in some rules and religious laws to make people "keep" the grace of God, or to smudge what God's word says so that the world caught up in their sin wouldn't be offended. But Jesus came with grace and truth, and like the Apostle Paul, we are not seeking the approval of man because we have become bond-slaves of Christ.

Paul's letter to the Galatians quickly went from a cold opening, to a hot rebuke. He confronts them with the ease and speed in which they abandoned God for a gospel of self-works and legalism.

We begin a study of Paul's letter to the Galatians. It is a powerful letter where the Apostle Paul argues for the freedom that was paid for by Jesus Christ. Not just for the moment of salvation, but that "we might be saved from the present evil age" through the grace of God today.

In this profound sermon by Pastor Robin, we delve into the challenging concept of reconciling our expectations of God with His divine plan. Drawing from the life of Jesus and the experiences of his disciples, Pastor Robin invites us to contemplate a crucial question: Will we follow a God who doesn't always meet our expectations?

Catholics and Protestants have been arguing for centuries over what the Apostles James and Paul meant when they referenced the righteousness of Abraham. Was he made righteous by faith alone? Or was it his works in sacrificing Isaac? Pastor Ross explores the passages in Romans 4 and James 2 and shows how both Paul, James, and the other Apostles are all in alignment.

Paul tells Timothy to fight the good fight of faith. What does that mean? Taking a closer look at 1 Timothy chapter 6 - we can see that it is possible for Christians - even pastors to get out of the good fight. Pastor Robin highlights how Paul illustrates for believers the what and the how of keeping in the good fight.

The story of Ishmael and Isaac is more than just a tale of one brother jealous of the other. It is a portrayal of Law vs Grace. Of Flesh vs Spirit. Of self-dependence vs Christ-dependent. Of death vs life. Using the Apostle Paul’s explanation in Galatians chapter 4, Pastor Ross explains what it means to live by the Spirit and not under the Law.

The story of Abraham and Abimelech feels like deja-vu from his journey into Egypt. Twenty-five years later, Abraham lies about his relationship with Sarah to protect himself out of a greater fear of Abimelech than his fear of God. But it is much more than a story of Abraham's failure. It is a story of God's grace and redemption of this righteous man.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is an important and unforgettable one. And that is by God's design and intent because it was meant to be an eternal warning to everyone about the coming judgement that each person will face in the day of Jesus' return. But if we think that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was only their immoral behaviour, then we will miss the real sin - their lack of reverence and respect of God and His authority. Pastor Ross guides us through the famous passage and helps us identify with each of the characters and what that means for us today and in the future.

The kingdom of God is the rule of Christ. It is synonymous with the saying ‘Jesus is Lord’. Jesus’ rule is not just a place but a here and now that when we step into it we exert His authority over the kingdom of darkness wherever we go. In today’s sermon, Pastor Robin highlights how Jesus’ rule is the reason for accepting, forgiving, and rejoicing with each other as the body of Christ.

Every relationship is only as good as the communication. That is true in marriages, friendships, and even with co-workers. And the same is true with God. When we struggle to hear from Him, it will limit the depth to our relationship. But is hearing God as difficult as we have been led to believe? Or is it something that we are invited to grow into with our loving Heavenly Father?

Doubt is part of the human condition. Denial, pushing it down, or ignoring it won't stop them from eating away at our hope. In Genesis 17 and 18, we see Abraham and Sarah promised a miracle which they laughed at when God first told them. Yet, their doubt didn't decide their faith. Pastor Ross explores what to do when doubt fills our mind.

In Genesis 17, we have a continuation of the terms of the covenant between God and Abram and all his descendants. In chapter 17, God changes Abram's name to Abraham, and Sarai to Sarah. But He also implements a covenant of circumcision that is much more than a physical act. It was meant as a sign to point to a greater spiritual reality that God would accomplish in the hearts of those who believe in Jesus.

The story of Sarai and Hagar in Genesis 16 is a sad tale of what happens when we operate out of the flesh, even trying to do God's will FOR Him, but in our own strength. God wants us to wait upon Him and His power, not do it our way and on our timeline - lest we produce an Ishmael and not an Isaac.

The greatest mistake the Church has made is mixing the Old Covenant (The Law) with the New Covenant (Grace). In doing so, we lose the power of both. Pastor Ross compares the two covenants and shows how "You shall..." becomes "I will..."

Everyone is after the ‘Better Me’ in 2024 but that is not what God has called us to. He called us to seek first the Kingdom. So where does the power source come from to do that? Titus chapter two paints the picture and explains where that power comes from.

The covenant that God made Abram in Genesis 15 is actually the New Covenant that Christians have with God through Jesus Christ. That reality has profound consequences, specifically for the nation of Israel. Has the church replaced Israel (aka supersessionism)? Does Israel still have a role to play with God? These questions are more are answered in this message from Pastor Ross.

In Genesis chapter 15, God made a covenant with Abram. That's a big deal because that covenant is our New Covenant today. It is a covenant that God promises to do both sides, and we get to benefit from His work.

The Christmas story has it's roots in the story of Abram in Genesis 15, when Abram believed in the promise of God that resulted in his righteousness. But what does it mean to be righteous by faith alone and how does impact us today? Join Pastor Ross Gilbert as he explores the significance of this passage.

Imitation gets a bad rap. Often a form of humour and humiliation, imitation in Biblical terms and definition, was a term of honour. It demonstrated a form of allegiance that spoke of great affection between two parties. Paul urges the Corinthian Church to imitate him. Pastor Robin shares about 1 Corinthians chapter 4 as an affirmation but also a warning to the 21st Century church - to really understand the use of that verb in new covenant writings.

The Bible is a covenant document that details the various covenants that God makes with mankind. To truly appreciate the power of that statement, and therefore to understand the kind of relationship and connection we have with God, we need to step back and understand what it is a covenant. Pastor Ross does this by examining threshold covenant in particular and how it is the basis of the first Passover in Exodus 12, which was foretelling what Christ ultimately did on the cross.

This story of Abram has everything you would want in a blockbuster movie. Political intrigue, great characters, villains, heroes, chases, epic battles, and the rescue of vulnerable people. But it is much more than that. It show us the gospel, both for us and how that is lived out in our communities.

The story of Lot and Abram going their separate ways has a lot more going on than meets the eye. We discover how God is moving in Abram's life to bring repentance. Abram's life was one where he was learning to trust God through obedience from the heart. This what it means to live a life of repentance, where we are learning to rely not upon ourselves, but upon God's power.

The need to be perfect is something that many of us can relate to on some level. Ultimately, this desire for perfection has its roots in the belief that if I work hard enough I can prove my value in what I do. But God has a better plan. He desires we look to Him for our perfection and to rest in his finished work at the cross.

Meditation on Jesus’ instruction is the key to perseverance, prosperity and protection in the life of the believer. But meditation is a bizarre concept that - even though Biblical, is a head scratcher for new covenant believers. Pastor Robin highlights how meditating on Jesus’ instructions is an essential part of the believer’s life based on Psalm 1.

The Bible tells the honest story, including the failures of the heroes of our faith. In this passage, we discover when Abram had more fear in man, than trust in God - and left his wife, Sarai, in a vulnerable place.

The life of Abraham is an incredible example of how God works in the lives of those who trust Him. Despite being a man who struggled with fear, mistrust, doubt, and more -- he is known as God's friend. Someone that God blessed personally, nationally, and for the entire world.

Psalm 100 is a psalm of thanksgiving to God for who He is and His faithfulness to us, His very own people. Here, we learn to worship God in our joy, our service, and in our praise through song.

The Bible has a fantastic history. The most famous book in the world is a collection of writings from thousands of years ago by many different authors from different parts of the world. But it is so much more. It is the Word of God communicated through His chosen people who witnessed God's action and His heart firsthand. These writings have been preserved and passed down through the generations over time "so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ."

Sometimes it’s not the big ‘asks’ from God that are the challenge. Sometimes it’s the small ones that trips us up. The visit to the neighbour, the small talk with the cashier, or the family get together that can sometimes be the hardest moment to go with God’s leading. Remembering who and why you were made the way you are is surprisingly the key to a life of surrender.

Time for a pop-quiz. It is the most important test that we need to pass. It is a test to see if we possess faith in Christ, and therefore if Christ is in us. Not everybody passes this test (Universalism is not Biblical), nor is it only for some (God did not predestine only some for faith). Anyone can pass - as long as they possess faith.

Living in a sin-cursed world where we face temptation from all around us, there is still hope in the simple truth that Jesus is greater than your sin.

Repentance is one of the words in our Christian faith that has been very misunderstood. As a result, it has been discarded and seen contrary to grace. But repentance is something that we all need and will lead us out of death from sin to experience life in Christ. Which is why the Apostle Paul is willing to meddle in the personal lives of the Corinthians.

We are preoccupied often with three things, clarity on right decisions, control over the results, and corporately being known. If we’re honest with ourselves, we think about these three often and worry about them. But Paul prays a prayer for the Philippian church and us that addresses those three things. It is a prayer that reveals the power of God’s love in everyday life.

God doesn't need you to be a strong Christian. Sounds counterintuitive, yet Paul teaches that our weakness allows us to lean into His grace, which is His power to face the difficult circumstances in life.

God asks that we turn to Him in prayer for healing, help, and restoration. But what happens when we turn to Him in earnest faith, but His answer is no. How do we face the pain and struggle that He doesn't take away? Paul's thorn in the flesh gives us important insight to the hope filled truth that God has a purpose, especially in our pain.

The world cheers for strength, for excellence, for those with power and special abilities. But God chooses the weak, who are committed to trust Him, because that's where His power shows up best.

What does it mean to be convicted by the Holy Spirit? We will explore how God encourages us to grow through conviction and that conviction is our opportunity to trust Him.

We are often guilty of the comparing ourselves with others and feeling that we come up short. Yet it is foolish to do that, because it means putting ourselves under the standard (which is another way of saying the Law) which only guarantees that we experience death and condemnation. Yet, the Apostle Paul decides to lower himself into this foolishness to show that the false apostles who are placing the church in Corinth under law, are unworthy of their toleration.

In multiple letters and by multiple people, including Jesus, we are warned to watch out for false apostles, teachers, and prophets. For they are servants of Satan meant to confuse, devour, and bind up the children of God. But how do we identify these wolves in sheep clothing, and how can we protect ourselves?

Often our reminders of the crucifixion narrative highlight Jesus’ physical pain. However he also endured a psychological burden of abuse that with close watch we can see that was significantly brutal. Pastor Robin looks at Matthew 27, and helps us see how Jesus’ true power was on display in the face of mockery, manipulation, and mistreatment. But not just power to show off - but power to save...

The impact of a father is difficult to overstate, whether positive or negative (or usually a combination of both.) My need for a Perfect Father started the day I was born; this is a need no earthly father could ever meet. If we allow Him, God will Father us with tenderness, disentangling the lies the bind us, and bringing us new peace, freedom, and joy.

When the first church erupted on the scene in Acts 2, it soon overwhelmed the apostles with the day to day administration. The result was the creation of a new and critical role within the church - the deacon.

The gospel is meant to be simple. But as the serpent deceived Eve into believing a complicated gospel led her astray, our enemy attempts to do the same with us.

We all want to see God's kingdom grow through evangelism, yet we often find it very hard to start a conversation. Pastor Ross breaks down some of the common questions that need an answer from everyone of us. Is there a God? Who is this God? Where do I stand with Him? And what should be my response to Him?

Faith is foundational to the life of a Christian. We are saved by grace through faith, and we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Understanding the obstacles to faith and what we can do to overcome those obstacles can help us to experience the abundant life as we walk with God.

God is casting His eyes looking to and fro across the earth looking for someone that is committed to Him. This is a person whose heart is surrendered to God and His purposes. This describes the life of Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament. She endured a long time of unfulfilled dreams and much pain as a result. But she never lost her faith in God, and was rewarded with a part in the story of the coming Messiah.

We all do it. We compare ourselves with others in order to determine if we are worthy of love and acceptance. But when we do it, not are we being foolish, but it only ends up hurting us. Instead, we need to learn to boast in who God has made us. When we boast is what He has done, we will live in freedom.

We live in a world filled with inauthenticity. Manipulated images, disinformation, false advertising, stories where the truth is twisted or parts hidden. Which creates a world of mistrust and people bluffing with one another. The answer is to live with integrity, where you live from the new heart that God has created within each of His children. This life leads to peace, confidence, and freedom of conscience.

Psalm 20 is a national anthem. It is a song that is a prayer for the king for battle. It is a salute to our current King, Jesus' authority. It is a challenge to read that song as a believer under grace and living in today's political system where my feelings and rights are more important than anyone else's. Can Jesus' Kingship be trusted? Can we confidently pray that His desire's are fulfilled and not ours? If we're honest with ourselves - we should take a closer look at the implication of Jesus as King.

Every relationship will at some point experience a time of messiness and conflict. But that conflict can be a time of growth and healing, if we learn how to fight fair. The Apostle Paul experienced a time of conflict with the church in Corinth, and we learn how Paul fought for - not against the Corinthians to earn their trust against the fortress of lies and shame from the Flesh.

The people of New Life share what the resurrection means for them today in this powerful Easter Sunday message.

The church has a lost history with struggling with understanding the separation of the New Covenant from the Old Covenant. And one of the areas where this happened the most is with the area of giving. By importing the Old Covenant idea of tithing into the New Covenant church, we are missing the heart behind giving and the opportunity to trust Jesus in how much, or how little, to give.

Money. It is a sensitive topic for many to talk about, mostly because it is has an inflated role in our lives. And with that poor understanding of money, it is bound to control us - leaving us feeling empty and broke in our soul. In this message, Pastor Ross explores the topic of money in a broad sense with a rich discussion about finding contentment that pays. Please note, we had some audio problems when recording the message due to technical issues. The first 11 and a half minutes the sound was recorded from our crowd microphone and it sounds very far away. The audio then improves. We apologize for the poor quality and hope that you are still blessed by this message.

We move from knowing about Jesus to knowing Jesus when we allow Jesus to meet our need. Allowing Jesus to meet our need, whatever it is, is an act of faith and God rewards faith! In 2 Peter 1, the apostle describes what it looks like to allow Jesus to meet our needs. The results will surprise you.

We all face temptation of various kinds. But it is the most difficult battles when we face temptation with an empty heart. Here, the voice of temptation attacks who we are and makes choices that we would otherwise find horrible, suddenly appealing. But there is an answer - Jesus Christ and His work on the cross. Pastor Ross uses the wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs 7 to help explain how we face temptation.

The apostle Peter was in the inner circle. He know what it was like to know Jesus. 2 Peter 1:2-4, Peter talks about how important it is for us to know Jesus personally - not solely know ‘about’ Him.

Depression is one of the most common struggles that humanity faces. Some have been shamed into thinking that it is the result of their sin, or a lack of faith, or that they just aren't trying hard enough. But God, He doesn't shame or condemn those who are struggling. Instead, God comforts the depressed. Discover what how God brings comfort and how He sometimes involves the church.

n relationships, sometimes we need to say some hard things. But the reason we speak up is from love and with love with the hope that it will lead to a Godly sorrow that leads to repentance, without condemnation. In 2 Corinthians chapter 7, we see how this played out between the Apostle Paul and the church in Corinth.

Under the New Covenant, God's still gives commands. These commands are not used to judge our acceptance, but they exist to keep us safe from harm. To ignore these commands is to say that you know better than God, which opens us up to harm. In 2 Corinthians chapter 6, Paul is giving a command regarding who we join ourselves to. The danger is we choose poorly and are drawn into the mess of the world. But when we obey God's command in this area, we are trusting God to care, protect, and provide for us.

One of the most popular phrases in the church today is "I'm just a sinner saved by grace." You find it on bumper stickers, in books, on clothing... It's so popular, and yet it's not Biblical, and therefore it's not true. Nowhere in the Bible does it refer to New Covenant believers as sinners saved by grace. Instead, we are saints - holy ones of God.

What does true worship look like? Everyone has a different response but the big question is: Does God have a definition of what true worship looks like? The answer is 'yes' but we don't often consider what His definition looks like. Pastor Robin takes out the biblical building blocks to show us what is God's definition of true worship.

The Prosperity Gospel message does not accurately reflect the true gospel. The Christian Life is not a promise of health, wealth, and perpetual happiness. It will, at times, include suffering, which is not a bad thing. For love is proven through these times of suffering, and trust is formed. The Apostle Paul shares what he has endured for the sake of the Corinthians, in order that he might win their trust and they might receive life in Jesus through him.

It is hard to watch people struggle when the answer to their struggle is right there waiting for them to use. The harder the struggle, the more desperate we beg them to take hold of the help that is waiting for them. That is God's heart, that we would use what we possess - the life of Christ in us - so that our faith in Him would not be in vain.

One of the most important skills to develop is learning to discern and know God's voice and His leading. This is made much simpler when you have the right centre of attention. Pastor Ross explores various centres that we might have and contrasts it with when Christ is our centre.

With Christmas upon us, we are reminded about the mission that Jesus had in coming as part of humanity. The mission of reconciliation, that God now includes us as Ambassadors of His kingdom.

The question is not if we judge or not. The reality is that we judge many things everyday. And that's a good thing. Don't judge spoiled milk and you will be sick. Don't judge bad teaching, and you will misunderstand who God is and what He has done. So the question is not if we are to judge or not, but rather, how does one judge God's way? Fortunately, the Apostle Paul has told us how we are to judge one another in his second letter to the church in Corinth.
