May 17, 2026 Before the foundation of the world, God saw us, loved us, and chose us to be part of His family through Jesus. Our salvation is not something we could ever earn or achieve on our own—it is the beautiful gift of God’s grace, poured out through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. And God didn’t leave us wondering if we truly belong to Him; He gave us the Holy Spirit as His promise and guarantee that we are His now and forever. In light of all He has done, our hearts can’t help but respond with worship, gratitude, and lives that bring Him praise. About this Sermon Series God has always had a plan.

May 11, 2026 In Episode 2 of Beyond Sunday, the Pastors from Newbreak Church reflect on the powerful “I Am” statements of Jesus from the Gospel of John and what they reveal about His identity, character, and invitation to trust Him more deeply.

They explore how Jesus meets people not through perfection or appearances, but through humility, grace, and transformation.

About this Sermon Series: What if the God you’ve heard about is more personal, more present, and more powerful than you’ve experienced? In this 6-week series, we’ll explore the “I AM” statements found throughout Scripture—words God uses to reveal His character, His heart, and His invitation into relationship. These statements aren’t just descriptions—they’re declarations of who God is for us. He is not distant or abstract. He is near, knowable, and actively at work in our lives. Each week, we’ll uncover a different aspect of His identity: the Bread that satisfies, the Light that reveals, the Shepherd who leads, the Resurrection who brings life, the Way who guides, and the Vine who sustains. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with what it means to move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him—personally, deeply, and authentically. This series is an invitation to trade shallow familiarity for real intimacy… to encounter the living God, not as a concept, but as a Person.

May 10, 2026 Lasting personal change and spiritual growth come from staying deeply connected to Jesus, the “true vine.” As God lovingly prunes harmful patterns and shapes our thoughts, we are called to actively examine the “fruit” of our lives—our behaviors, words, and attitudes—and allow His Spirit to transform us from the inside out. Through consistent spiritual practices and reliance on God as the source of life, believers can experience real change, becoming healthier, more Christlike, and fruitful in their relationships.

May 3, 2026 When life feels uncertain—when we’re anxious, confused, or lost—Jesus doesn’t just point us to a path, he says, “I am the way.” He claims to be the truth in a world full of opinions, and the life that nothing else can give. Christianity isn’t about what works for you—it’s about what’s true. And if Jesus is who he says he is, then following him doesn’t just promise heaven later, it gives purpose, peace, and new life right now. Through Jesus, we move forward with hope.

April 26, 2026 Jesus doesn’t just offer advice for life, He offers Himself as the Door and the Good Shepherd.

April 19, 2026 Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world,” revealing that He alone can expose darkness and lead us into true life. Darkness is not only around us but often hidden within us through pain, sin, shame, and the things we try to conceal. Yet instead of condemnation, Jesus offers forgiveness, healing, and the freedom to walk openly in His light. As we follow Him daily, His light transforms us and begins to shine through us into the lives of others.
