The Call To Forgive

You Are Not A Grasshopper

Have you ever let fear talk you out of something God was calling you into? Sometimes the loudest voice in our lives isn't God's voice, it's the words spoken over us years ago. Words that became beliefs. Beliefs that became limitations. And limitations that keep us standing outside the very promises God has prepared for us. This week, Ryan Finney explores a powerful biblical story of a promise delayed not because God failed, but because fear convinced people they weren't capable of receiving what He had already given them. The promise didn't change. The land didn't change. The obstacles didn't change. What changed was the mindset of the people. A new generation saw opportunity where the previous generation saw impossibility. The same is true for us. When we exchange the spirit of fear for the Spirit of adoption, we stop living as slaves to our insecurities and start walking as sons and daughters of God. Freedom begins when fear loses its voice. Join us as we discover how God is not only concerned with where you're going but who you're becoming along the way. Because God's greatest work is often not the destination... it's the transformation that happens before you get there. #NWCKC #NewWineChurch #SpiritofAdoption #NoFearInChrist #NoLongerSlaves #ChildOfGod

The Holy Spirit In You

What if the most profound relationship you will ever experience isn't found across a room, but inside your own chest? In this powerful continuation of the God Is Relational series, Pastor Matt Slocum unpacks a truth that is easy to memorize but beautifully disruptive to live out: The Holy Spirit In You. Too often, we relegate the Holy Spirit to an abstract theological concept, a mystical force, or a silent partner in our faith. But if God is inherently relational, then the indwelling of the Spirit is the ultimate expression of intimate, personal connection. This service is a compelling invitation to move past a distant, transactional religion and step into a living, breathing internal presence that radically transforms your identity, your struggles, and the way you relate to the world around you.

How Is Your Soul?

Some of us have mastered saying “I’m fine”… while quietly carrying a soul that’s exhausted, disconnected, or hurting. This week’s message asks a deeper question: How is your soul? Did you know the word "soul" in the Bible doesn't mean what most of us think it means? It's not just the eternal, non-physical part of you. It's all of you — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. Your whole embodied existence. So when we ask how is your soul? — we're asking how is all of that going? Our world is so disconnected from one another that a staggering 72% of teenagers are going to AI for connection and emotional support. Not people. AI. The church has to wake up. Because real connection — being truly known by God and by people — isn't just a "nice to have." It's the whole thing. Love God, love people. It's the greatest command for a reason. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, overwhelmed, emotionally numb, spiritually dry, or just tired of surface-level relationships… you need this message. It will challenge you, untie some things, and give you a practical step to take this week. Watch it. Then ask someone in your life the question that actually matters. #NWCKC #NewWineChurch #Psalm42 #Soul #GodIsRelational

Comfort and Connection

In this week’s message from our God Is Relational series, we looked at how God designed us to find healing, strength, and life through relationship — first with Him, and then with one another. Many of us respond to pain by becoming guarded, while others begin grasping for connection. But God is inviting us into something deeper: to become rooted and grounded in love. The question for us this week is simple but powerful: What do you need? God meets our needs, and so often, He does it through the body of Christ. Join us as we continue learning what it means to live fully known, fully loved, and deeply connected. #NWCKC #NewWineChurch #GodisRelational #TheTrinity #GodisLove #MothersDay2026
