Maybe it is not intended but it makes your giant out to be like a shrimp. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20101024.gif Sun, 24 Oct 2010 12:23:38 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett A Heart for God http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20101017.gif Sun, 17 Oct 2010 12:23:38 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20101010.gif Sun, 10 Oct 2010 12:23:38 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20101003.gif Sun, 03 Oct 2010 12:23:38 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews Heb 13:20-24 is a prayer for the God of Peace to keep working in their lives. The God who is over all, who raised Jesus from the dead. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100926.gif Sun, 26 Sep 2010 12:23:38 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Heb 13:8) http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100919.gif Mon, 20 Sep 2010 10:37:07 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews Here is the deal. We are all going to die running this race. We will die on the track. Not because of exhaustion, but because of the distance. The end of the race is when the King comes home. Running the race is not about speed. The glory is not in the hurry up, the glory is in the looking up. The glory is staying on the track, in the race, endurance. Some of you have some hard things going on in life right now. And it is exhausting. Some of you are tired. God has a rest for you. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100912.gif Mon, 13 Sep 2010 09:36:32 -0700 Justin McRoberts Hebrews A special music and message service with guest speaker Justin McRoberts. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100905.gif Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:49:42 -0700 Phil Wood Hebrews Listen to guest speaker Phil Wood as he brings a message from Hebrews 13. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100829.gif Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:03:19 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews Does life seem to be going nowhere? Here's a question, what are you doing about it? Are you being obedient, doing what God asks? Maybe you arn't and need to repent. But if you are then trust God is at work. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100822.gif Sun, 22 Aug 2010 12:01:18 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. 25 He chose to share the oppression of God's people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin. He thought it was better to suffer for the sake of Christ than to own the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his great reward. It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king's anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible. It was by faith that Moses commanded the people of Israel to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons. It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were all drowned. (Heb 11:24-29) http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100815.gif Sun, 15 Aug 2010 13:00:12 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews "By faith Isaac blessed his two sons, Jacob and Esau"... He had confidence in what God was going to do in the future. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100808.gif Sun, 08 Aug 2010 21:39:36 -0700 Vacation Bible School This past week we hosted our annual Vacation Bible School. Hear some of the blessings presented by all those who participated. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100801.gif Mon, 02 Aug 2010 11:31:24 -0700 Night One ov VBS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nppNzdcs9dg Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews More from our series in Hebrews. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100725.gif Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:35:28 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. Heb 11:8 http://www.new-life.org/audio.php NoImage.jpg Sun, 18 Jul 2010 16:07:43 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight. - Heb 11:33-34 http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100711.gif Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:16:03 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised. Their weakness was turned to strength http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100704.gif Mon, 05 Jul 2010 20:58:18 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100627.gif Sun, 27 Jun 2010 21:37:48 -0700 Pastor Sean Blomquist Hebrews A special Father's Day message from our guest Pastor Sean Blomquist http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100620.jpg Sun, 20 Jun 2010 21:37:48 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews We can boldly enter heaven's Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. No more cowering like the Straw man or lack of courage like the lion, no more fear of not knowing who you are standing before like Dorothy. No longer bound to ritual and religion, no more sacrifice or works. So dear friends, we can boldly enter heaven's Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. This is a new way of living. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100613.gif Sun, 13 Jun 2010 20:07:06 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews Sometimes in our walk with Jesus, we neglect the part about being with Jesus. Before long, He becomes dull and uninteresting. The truth? When this happens to me, I am the one who has become spiritually dull. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100606Hebrews9.gif Sun, 06 Jun 2010 13:01:54 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews To a newborn that doesn't really know much about life, the challenge is getting somebody to feed him and leave him alone so he can sleep. Then there comes a point, about 2 years of age, when the little guy thinks he has life pretty well figured out. The truth is there is so much more to life. From the 2 year old's perspective, if you hang will 1 year olds you look pretty good. But to a grown up, you are not very far along in life. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100530.gif Mon, 31 May 2010 17:52:32 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews What is it that makes a person a bad listener? Boredom and Pride. Part of the problem the people being written to in Hebrews 5 is that they already think they know what they need to know. Whatever it is they don't know (they don't need to know) they can do just fine without more input. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100523.gif Sun, 23 May 2010 16:39:16 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews Today I want to tell you about a true friend of mine. One that has never let me down. One that has never forsaken me. One that loves me and stays true to me regardless of how I have failed. I need to also tell you right up front, this friend has sent word that he wants to be your friend too! As you suspect by now, I am referring to my friend, Jesus. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100516.gif Sun, 16 May 2010 16:04:45 -0700 Pastor Ed Blake Hebrews For the word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are. Nothing in all creation can hide from him. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes. This is the God to whom we must explain all that we have done. --- Hebrews 4:12-13 http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100509.gif Sun, 09 May 2010 21:29:22 -0700 Pastor Lynn McCabe Hebrews God promises us rest. In fact, God promises us HIS rest. While we all long for it in some way, we can often make it harder to enter into God's rest than it needs to be. Set aside your good works, your religion and your loopholes. Get to know Jesus...and rest. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100502Hebrews4.gif Sun, 02 May 2010 13:57:06 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews Left alone we are more easily deceived by the seductive voice of sin which disguises, allures, legitimatizes, and readily supplies all the rationalizing we could ever require as it leads us along. Sin works to first deceive, then harden its victims and leave him in a helpless condition. Like the mythical story of Great Ulysses who attempted to navigate the Straits of the Sirens while securely lashed to the mast on the deck of his ship. The beautiful voice of the sirens beckoned him to the comfort of the shore while the surf crashes on the rocks below the high cliffs. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100425.gif Sun, 25 Apr 2010 21:03:06 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away - Hebrews 2:1 http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100418.gif Sun, 18 Apr 2010 17:02:38 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Hebrews God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets at many times and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of his nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. After he died to cleanse us from the stain of sin He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on High --- Heb 1:1-3 http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100411.gif Sun, 11 Apr 2010 22:04:46 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett We lose sight of what Easter is really about, the resurrected Jesus. He goes to the cross and takes our sins upon himself. He is buried and was raised on the third day, just as the scripture said. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100404.gif Mon, 05 Apr 2010 09:58:02 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough This 40 day period of Lent we are challenged to engage and better understand Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness and the temptation he had to face following His baptism. Baptism and the temptation in the wilderness is all about identity. Baptism is a physical symbol of what God is doing in our lives. It is a sign of our identity. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100321.gif Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:16:30 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough Worry in the eyes of God hinders our faith. Worry is evident by a lack of trust by calling into question whether or not God is sufficient to provide our needs. We can choose to worry and put God in a box, belittling Him by focusing on our circumstances and allowing them to become a Goliath. Or we can focus on the God who has revealed Himself in scripture and see how He has faithfully met the needs of His people. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100314.gif Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:39:42 -0700 Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough A Kairos moment is a Godportunity, a defining moment, a turning to live different becoming more like Christ kingdom breakthrough. What is your defining moment today? What do you have to turn from? Are you ready to think different? Are you ready to live better? http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100307KairosJesus.jpg Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:34:40 -0800 Cardboard Testimonies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUNKRrTjadA Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough Jesus reminds us that our walk with God needs to be genuine and not about looking good for others. He challenges us to shake off the yoke of religion and falsehood and follow in His steps simply because He created us to walk like Him. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100228KairosReligion.jpg Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:08:12 -0800 Pastor Bill Francis Pastor Swap Sunday Jesus directed us to remember his death until he returns. Lent helps us do this while we examine ourselves. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100221.jpg Sun, 21 Feb 2010 14:41:00 -0800 Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough A message on loving others and sharing words of encouragement. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100214.gif Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:37:58 -0800 Matt Butler Breakthrough Brokenness is our humble response to God's conviction of our sins. Once "Broken, we find ourselves responding in humility and complete repentance. We are actually agreeing with God and saying, "Yes, Lord, You're right -- I have sinned. All of my heart is Yours and I'll keep nothing from you." http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100207KairosBroken.gif Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:36:22 -0800 Pastor Art Barrett Forgiveness is a point in time you decide. It is like pulling on a rope that rings the bell. Even after you let go, the bell rings for a while. It takes a while for the hurt to stop, but it will. It begins with a choice when the pain goes deep the path to forgiveness is long. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100131.gif Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:20:22 -0800 Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough We have struggled with anger since the days of Cain and Abel. God cares deeply for community, and how we handle our anger affects community. It's no wonder there's so much in the Bible about anger. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100124KairosAnger.gif Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:10:29 -0800 Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough Whom do you trust? Do you trust God to meet your day-to-day needs? Or do you trust money to meet your day-to-day needs? We know the right answer...but it's hard to live it out. Becoming a follower of Jesus means crossing the bridge between knowing what God says about an issue and doing something about it. It's the journey that begins when we start to change our thinking in response to God's prompting and continues into real belief, where we actually change behavior. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100117Kairos3.gif Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:12:12 -0800 Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough Kairos moments are those moments that have the potential to change us. The way we respond to a kairos moment determines if we will grow or if we are destined to face this same kairos moment again. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100110Kairos2.gif Sun, 10 Jan 2010 14:42:35 -0800 Pastor Art Barrett Breakthrough It's 2010. Are you a disciple of Jesus? Are you changing to become more like Him? A "kairos moment" is an event that brings change into one's life. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) was and still can be "kairos moments" for His followers. In the following weeks we will enter these "kairos moments" in order to break through to deeper spiritual maturity -- becoming more like Jesus. http://www.new-life.org/audio.php 20100103Kairos.gif Sun, 03 Jan 2010 13:47:03 -0800 Pastor Art Barrett http://www.new-life.org Sit back, relax and download these inspirational words and music from New Life Christian Fellowship. We want to be Real in our communication. We would prefer to be a little raw and transparent; more like the imperfect earthen vessels that we are than pretenders. We prize authenticity. Relating to each other, we want to take the first step in vulnerability. This is a step toward building healthy, healing relationships with God, ourselves and others. en-us New Life Christian Fellowship - Concord CA Pastor Art Barrett art@new-life.org http://www.new-life.org/images/podcast.jpg New Life Christian Fellowship art@new-life.org 1
