June 9, 2024 | A Nation in Turmoil | Habakkuk 1:12 - 2:5
Habakkuk literally means to wrestle and embrace, and that is exactly what Habakkuk did. He wrestled with God’s plan for the nation of Israel, but as we see he learns to embrace who God is and learns to understand that God’s character is trustworthy!

Habakkuk has inner turmoil. He doesn’t understand how a just God can allow injustice to prevail in Judah. He is very open and honest with God. This is a model of how we can approach God.

June 2, 2024 | Habakkuk: Nation in Turmoil | Habakkuk 1:1-11
Habakkuk was a prophet struggling with balancing the God of justice he knows and the injustice he witnessed in the nation. He struggled with holding on to God’s plan, promises, and power because his eyes told him that God wasn’t present. How can a good God allow such evil? The words of this prophet are so real for many of us today.
But God doesn’t just leave him to struggle with this. God answers and shows Habakkuk that He has a plan far beyond what Habakkuk is able to understand.

Biblical Headship is a work of the Holy Spirit, empowering a husband to imitate Jesus by leading his family with a sacrificing, sanctifying and sustaining love, restoring God’s created order.

There are times in fear that we begin to question: God are you still there? Most of us do not know what to do with our doubts. What you do with your doubt matters because what you do with your doubt determines your destination. Doubt will either lead you into discouragement or it will lead to desperation to draw near to God.
Real life has real doubt. Jesus’ real compassion inspires real faith. Our solution is real prayer.

November 5, 2023 | Holy Spirit Series | 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
The gifts of the Spirit may not be the most important doctrine in the New Testament, but they are also not something to be demoted to a marginal role in the life of the believer and the Church! The Gifts matter! They are important and discovering what they are, how they are given, and how to operate in them has the potential to be life-changing for the believer and life-giving for the Church!

We can often be intimidated by the Holy Spirit, but as a church we are going to embark on a journey of discovering exactly who the person of the Holy Spirit is and how to pursue, study, and commune with Him! This sermon is an introduction to who the Holy Spirit is; grab a notebook because we are going to be in a number of passages to get a broad picture of two aspects of His nature that are foundational for us as we walk through this series.
October 1, 2023 | Isaiah 43:14-21 | Gilmer Campus
For the last 40 years at New Beginnings God has been pouring out blessings on us, increasing us, and causing us to grow. In 1983, 65 people gathered, they didn’t have a building, they didn’t know what God was going to do, but they believe God was at work. But God is not done with us yet! He is calling us to step out and TRUST Him to do more than we can ask or imagine!

These disciples were walking with the son of God, they were 24 inches away from Eternal Life itself, and they decided that the price was too much.
Jesus tells His disciples that they must fully surrender to Him and receive Him as their only hope.
