Worship is War: Amazing Grace | Pastor John Rogers

Worship is War: Amazing Grace | Pastor John Rogers

What if grace isn't tame or polite, but powerful enough to break chains, change hearts, and carry us home? We often treat "Amazing Grace" like a soft lullaby, but for the believer, it is a fierce declaration of war against the darkness of our past and the hopelessness of our present. Grace isn't a soft word for a hard world; it’s the pursuing love of God that refuses to let go. In this message, Pastor John Rogers continues our Worship Is War series by unpacking the staggering reality of God's favor. From the story of John Newton, a rebel turned redeemer, to the truth of the Gospel, we see that grace is more than just a doctrine; it is a Person. When we worship through the lens of grace, we aren't just singing a song; we are weaponizing the truth that though we were once lost, we have been found by a God who does not count our sins against us. Your past doesn’t have the final say. Your failures don’t define your future. Learn how to let God’s grace run wild in your life and discover why, when grace enters the room, the war is already won. In This Message: The Scandal of Grace: Why God’s unmerited favor is the most offensive and beautiful truth in the world. From Wretch to Redeemed: Understanding the transformative power of grace in the life of John Newton and in our own. Grace as a Weapon: How to use the assurance of your salvation to push back the enemy’s lies of shame and guilt. Sustaining Strength: Why grace is not just the "starting line" of faith, but the power that carries us all the way home. Next Steps: New to New Post?

Worship is War: Hard Fought Hallelujah | Brandon Woodard

The hardest day of your life isn’t a sign that God has left you, it’s an invitation to prove that He is still Sovereign. We’ve all had those moments where we did everything "right" but ended up in a "wrong" place. We checked the boxes, we stayed faithful, and yet we found ourselves in the inner cell, shackled by circumstances we didn't ask for. In this message, Pastor Brandon Woodard continues our Worship Is War series by diving into Acts 16. When Paul and Silas were beaten and imprisoned in Philippi, they didn't spiral into self-pity or demand an explanation. Instead, at midnight, they started a war with their worship. Your praise in the prison is the loudest sermon you will ever preach. It’s easy to sing when the sun is out, but a Hard Fought Hallelujah—one offered in the middle of the wreckage—is what catches God’s attention and shakes the foundations of your situation. Don't let your "bad day" silence your soul. Learn how to take a posture of authority when you feel under attack and discover why God isn't looking for your perfection; He’s looking for your praise. In This Message: Doing Right, Feeling Wrong: Why faithfulness doesn't always lead to immediate comfort. The Midnight Shift: Why the darkest hour is the best time to start your song. The Witness of the Wreckage: How your response to hardship speaks to the "prisoners" watching you. Mindset Over Shackles: Choosing to view your hardship as an opportunity rather than a punishment.

Worship Is War: Trust In God | Pastor Brandon Woodard

The hardest place to be isn’t always the battlefield—sometimes, it’s the waiting room. We’ve all been there: waiting for the medical results, waiting for the breakthrough in a relationship, or waiting for a prayer that feels like it’s been stuck in "processing" for years. In these seasons, the enemy doesn’t attack with a storm; he attacks with silence, tempting us to believe that God has forgotten us. In this message, Pastor Brandon Woodard continues our Worship Is War series by diving into Exodus 16. As Israel moves from the miracle of the Red Sea into the uncertainty of the desert, we see a dangerous pattern emerge: when we get uncomfortable in our freedom, we start to romanticize our slavery. If we aren’t careful, our waiting seasons become "whining" seasons. but what if the waiting room isn’t a waste of time? What if it’s a training ground? Worship is how we fight the urge to go back to what God already delivered us from. It’s how we declare that His daily provision—His "Manna"—is enough. Don’t let your frustration turn into a lack of trust. Learn how to turn your waiting room into a war room. In This Message: Why we "romanticize our slavery" when the wilderness gets difficult. The choice every believer faces in the gap: Will you Whine or will you Worship? Understanding God’s "Manna" principle: Trusting Him for just enough for today. How worship functions as a weapon to kill impatience and spiritual amnesia. Next Steps: New to New Post?

Worship Is War: The Goodness of God | Pastor Brandon Woodard

The greatest threat to your faith isn’t usually the storm; it’s the sunshine. We’ve all had those seasons where everything just clicks—the kids are great, the job is solid, and the marriage is thriving. But as a culture, we are wired to "call on God" only when the 911 sirens are wailing. When life is "good," we often feel like we can lay down our weapons. We forget that a complacent heart is a defenseless heart. In this message, Pastor Brandon Woodard continues our Worship Is War series by looking at the life of David and the warnings in Deuteronomy 8. We discover that the enemy loves a "fat and happy" Christian who has let God’s provision become the reason they stop seeking His presence. If we only worship when we’re broken, we’re missing the point. Worship is how we fight. It’s how we kill the ego before it can grow and stay alert even in the "promised land." Whether you are in a season of affliction or a season of affluence, it’s time to become "undignified" in our praise. Don’t wait for a crisis to find your voice. Use it now. In This Message: - Why "the sunshine" can be more dangerous to your soul than "the storm." - Learning from King David’s "undignified" worship in 2 Samuel 6. - The danger of forgetting God in the midst of His blessings (Deuteronomy 8). - How to build a "spiritual reserve" so you are unshakable in every season.

How To Be A Godly Husband | This Is Us | Brandon Woodard

Most of us don't set out to have a marriage that's a "dumpster fire," yet we often default to a contract—asking "what can I get?"—rather than a covenant—asking "what can I give?" In part two of our series, This Is Us, Brandon Woodard challenges the men of New Post Church to stop behaving like the culture and start behaving like the Christ. To the men: You want your wife to respect you? Paul’s instruction in Ephesians 5 isn't a license to be a boss; it’s a command to be a sacrifice. Headship isn’t about being the "ruler" of the house; it’s about being the first one to the Cross. Whether you are married, dating, or single, this message is a call to lead as a "First Responder"—the first to repent, the first to forgive, and the first to pray. Your wife isn't an accessory to your life; she is your assignment. In this message, we break down: Contract vs. Covenant: Moving from "what’s in it for me?" to "how can I serve her?" The Kings Daughter: Remembering that before she was your wife, she was (and is) a Daughter of the King. The Sacrifice Audit: Evaluating if you are actually laying your life down or just expecting her to lay hers down for you. Lead Repenter: Why the most "manly" thing you can do is be the first to say, "I’m sorry."
