Why Does The Gospel Matter?
"The Bible teaches us that God accomplishes salvation all by Himself (John 1:12-13). This also distinguishes the Gospel from other religions. We can essentially classify all religions in 2 categories. In one type of religion, man earns his salvation. 'If you obey enough, you will be accepted.' This is the approach of every religion in the world—whether through Islam’s 5 pillars; Buddhism’s 8-fold path; or Hinduism’s scheme of karma and reincarnation. The Gospel flips that on its head. The Gospel teaches us that our acceptance is given to us as a gift. God has done the work; ours is only to believe and receive. Our obedience to God is done in grateful response to what He has done for us, not to earn favors from Him. Religion is spelled 'D-O;' the Gospel is spelled 'D-O-N-E”' by Jesus Christ...The good news is that knowing Him is easy, at least for you. Jesus did everything necessary to reconcile you fully to God. You simply believe that what the Gospel says about Him is true. He is a God who stands ready to accept you, completely, because of what Jesus has done for you. He is a God whose mercy and love for you knows no bounds. It stretches out toward you right at this very moment. Following Jesus as Lord means that your life will change radically, as He must now call all the shots, but you’ll find that obedience and even sacrifice are sweet because of His presence with you.
Have you ever felt that love in your heart? Have you believed and embraced it, personally? Have you ever heard His voice in your soul saying, 'You. You are my child. I died for you. I have accepted you.'
If not, open your heart to Him today."

Why we GathEr
Going to church is designed to confront you with the glory of the grace of Jesus so you won’t look for life, help, and hope elsewhere." ~Paul Tripp

Bible Reading Plan
As followers of Christ Jesus the King, we believe that one of the most important things in all of creation is the Bible. Yet, so many Christians today don't know it as they should. At New Life Church, we are Bible people. Our Bible reading plan cycles every three years. Over the course of this reading plan, we will have daily readings each weekday, which shall take us through the Psalms, Proverbs, and the entire New Testament each 12-months and the Old Testament every 36 months. We look forward to having you join us on this journey through the Scriptures.
