Jesus is doing powerful things in our city; New Life Fellowship is committed to following His lead!
Deuteronomy 6:10-12 (MSG)
God has made it our business to offer people his easy step-by-step plan to experiencing Him
At New Life, we not only need God’s process but we must have God’s presence and power first.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (NLT)
Each of us are designed to:
- RECEIVE THE PROMISE – Experiencing God is beginning true fulfillment and identity.
- EXPERIENCE FREEDOM – Through small groups; it’s where you take the Mask off. Building up and serving others is where experience true freedom James 5:16
- CHANGE OUR WORLD – You’re not here to just pay bills; go to work tomorrow and hope the kids behave.
We exist to celebrate life change and Jesus being Lord in our lives.
Acts 2:41 (NIV)
When we chose to celebrate Him by being identified with Him in water baptism, He’ll celebrate us with giving us His Promise.
3 reasons that you want to be baptized today if you haven’t already celebrated Him as He asked us to:
- Baptism follows the example set by Jesus’ Matthew 28:19 (NIV), 1 John 2:4 (TLB), Mark 16:15-16 (TLB)
- Baptism demonstrates what happened; 1 Peter 3:21 (TLB)
- Baptism declares my commitment publicly; Matthew 10:32-33 (NIV)
