<title>Love While We Wait</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Advent</series>
<description>During Advent we look back at what Jesus did through His birth. We also look forward to what Jesus will do when He comes again. In the meantime, we live with Jesus' promises and we have the opportunity to focus on God's love in the difficult places. Advent says, "The promise is here. And there's more to come."</description>

<title>Waiting Hope Redux</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Advent</series>
<description>As a Christian, does my life look different? Are you waiting for God, but haven't heard or seen Him in a while? Take heart! Scripture says that He is working and we're to wait. (Isaiah 64:4.) That's our hope -- and hope enables us to live differently.</description>

<title>Waiting Hope</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Advent</series>
<description>In the Old Testament, people looked forward to the promise of God. Hope is power. Hope is the feeling that we have a future and is perhaps man's most obvious need. Advent celebrates the time of waiting in hope, in alert expectation, for the best news ever.</description>

<title>The End Is Just the Beginning</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Acts 29 - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>Acts 29 is the final chapter of Acts, but you won't find it in your Bible. Acts 29 is the ongoing story of Christ followers -- the church today. As the Book of Acts ends, our final glimpse of Paul is that of a powerful witness for Christ in the world. From him, we learn that there are no chains too strong to hold back the Good News, although the enemy would have us believe otherwise. What are the chains that claim to hold us back from sharing the Good News -- here in Acts 29?</description>

<title>Paul's Roman Holiday</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Acts 28 - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>Following Jesus means taking the narrow road. It's not the easy way, but it is Jesus' way. If it sounds hard, check out Paul's approach. He's imprisoned and powerless in almost every way. Still, he chooses the narrow road -- and his "kingdom" power is great, as is his witness.</description>

<title>Shipwreck!</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Acts 27 - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>Even though Paul knew for certainty that his destination was Rome, he had no idea what a long, strange journey it would be. As you follow Paul's journey through imprisonment, storms, shipwreck, visions and even leadership, try to find your life. Where is God leading you today?</description>

<title>Going For It</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Acts 25 - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>There are times in our lives when we need to take a big risk and just go for it. Paul found himself in just this situation. He could have played it safe and kept his mouth shut, but his calling was too clear to ignore.</description>

<title>Conversion!</title>
<author>Pastor Sean Blomquist</author>
<series>Acts 22 - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>It is ironic that the conversion of Paul resulted in his blindness...and yet enabled him to see clearly where he had been blinded for years. And that is the nature of conversion: Opening our eyes to see what has always been but we have been unable to see.</description>

<title>Local Welcome</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Acts 21 - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>Look at how warmly the local believers welcomed Paul in each of these of these communities! It is not always the case when you are in a new place. The Locals-Only culture is alive and well -- and not just among some surfing communities. Sometimes it crops up in our churches, too. May our community of believers always be known as those who welcomed us cordially. </description>

<title>The Status Quo and The Way</title>

<series>Acts 19 - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>In hard times people get serious; people turn to what they trust for help. When you follow Jesus, it will change your life, your relationships, your business, your investments -- every area of your life. If you find The Way challenges your status quo, it should. </description>

<description>Go THIS way. Vote THAT way. Think MY way. We hear it all the time, but what is THE way? Simply put, it is living the way Jesus did. It is, by far, the best way to live on planet Earth. He lived a balanced life of UP (in intimacy with the Father), IN (in community with other believers) and OUT (in relationship with the world).</description>

<title>Life on the Road</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Acts - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>In Acts 16, Paul, Silas and Timothy are hitting the road. As they travel, we see how they maintain balance among UP, IN and OUT as they share their stories with those whom they meet. UP - They pray (and listen) for direction along the way. IN - They encourage the fledgling churches along the way. OUT - They are always ready to share the good news with everyone from wealthy God-fearing merchants to the jailers holding them captive.</description>

<series>Acts - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>Some days we are on top of the world. Then there are days when we feel like the entire world is on top of us. No matter what kind of day Paul and the apostles were having, they continued to spread the Gospel. Especially, when we are in the midst of a rotten day, it is important to stay in the Kingdom: Know God is there; stay connected in community; and look for what God is doing and wants to do through you. </description>

<title>Paul Begins His First Missionary Journey</title>

<description>The entire book of Acts is the story of UP, IN and OUT. The early church was not an either/or church. It was not UP or IN or OUT. It was UP and In and OUT. Because of this, our super-ordinary God uses ordinary people, filling them with His Holy Spirit to do extraordinary things. </description>

<description>Being a follower of Christ means that we have to ask ourselves two important questions: First, do I want to live with Christ at the center of my life? And, second, how can I live with Christ at the center of my life? The real key, of course, is to get ourselves out of the center. </description>

<description>At the outset of the church, it was a priority of the Holy Spirit that racial/ethnic barriers were destroyed. Yet over and over the Christian faith has been used to justify racism and prejudice. When you look at the book of Acts, you see that at the foot of the cross -- everyone is welcome.</description>

<description>Few of us think of ourselves as racist, but many of us still have lingering stealth racism -- just another reminder that we still need to grow in Christ to produce fruit that lasts. Check in with yourself this week: UP - How is my time with my Father? IN - How are my relationships within my community? OUT - Am I making a difference in the world?</description>

<title>Peter and Cornelius</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Acts - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>We all have people with whom we struggle, and the apostle Peter certainly did. In his case, it was Gentiles. Even when God gave him a vision (3 times), he struggled. He had received the truth in a powerful way, yet living out truth as a lasting life change was hard -- just like it is hard for us. However, this is just what Jesus calls us to do everyday. So check in with yourself often: UP - How is my time with my Father? IN - How are my relationships within my community? OUT - Am I making a difference in the world?</description>

<description>Signs and miracles. They were alive and well in the early church, and they are in the present day, too. Signs are indicators that we can live in the confidence of His promises.

<series>Acts - Heaven Touching Earth</series>
<description>This is the first of our series in the Book of Acts. During the 40 days after the crucifixion of Jesus, he appeared to the apostles and others several times. In fact, over 500 people witnessed Jesus during this time. Acts is written because God is unfolding his story. He is creating a new heaven and earth and he is calling all humanity to be part of it.</description>

<series>What You Do Matters</series>
<description>Even when our intentions are good, sometimes good people project the wrong messages to the next generation:
1 - Humility is not cool; 2 - Just let me do it myself; 3 - Freedom creates freedom; 4 - Parents are pals. Keep in mind how God cares for us as His children. That is the model we should follow as we care for the next generation.</description>

<title>Finding Healing in Forgiveness</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Forgiveness</series>
<description>Forgiveness seems unnatural. The anger and bitterness seem natural. They offer the promise of healing from hurt, but they never deliver. That is what the forgiveness does. We just need to allow God to come and untie the leash.</description>

<description>God wants the best for our lives, and that is why He challenges us to unleash forgiveness just as He does. We do, however, have to overcome a few barriers, which keep us linked to unforgiveness.</description>

<title>Forgiveness: The Real F-Word</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Forgiveness</series>
<description>A lot of us today are wearing leashes. We go through our lives dragging around anger, resentment and unforgiveness. It is certainly damaging to ourselves and to our relationships; but it also smashes up the potential that God wants us to live in this one and only life.</description>

<title>The Window of Attitude</title>
<author>Pastor Art Barrett</author>
<series>Transformers</series>
<description>Pessimism is not a Christian world view. If your attitude is on the negative side, focus on the faithfulness of God. When we abide in Him (like a fish abides in water), our attitude cannot help but to become more postive.</description>

<description>Ever try playing baseball by yourself? Well, maybe -- but not for long! Just like baseball, it takes a team to make a church. You are a player (not a spectator), and that means that God intended you to use your gifts to benefit the team.</description>

<description>Do you believe that God pays for what God orders? Or is your first question about how much it costs? We often live with a philosophy of scarcity, whereas God is the key to possibilities.</description>

<description>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.
