“At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.” — Romans 5:6 Adversity often comes without warning — a challenge, a storm, a moment when we don’t have the answers. In this message, we’re reminded that God has never been late, absent, or unaware of what His people face. Drawing from 1 Kings 18, we look at Elijah’s confrontation on Mount Carmel and how God revealed Himself at just the right time, turning hearts back to Him. That same truth is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who stepped in when we were powerless and brought hope, peace, and salvation. Whether you’re walking through a season of difficulty or simply needing encouragement today, this message is a reminder that you are not alone — and God is faithful. This message was shared during a winter storm, reminding us that even when circumstances disrupt our plans, God still meets us right where we are. ▶️ Scripture References: • 1 Kings 18 • Romans 5:6 If this message encouraged you, consider sharing it with someone who may need hope today.

Why do so many sincere Christians feel stuck in their spiritual growth? We believe the right things. We try harder. We stay busy. And yet, real transformation often feels slow—or stalled. In this message, we explore what Jesus teaches about spiritual growth in John 15, where He describes Himself as the vine and us as the branches. Growth doesn’t come from effort alone—it flows from remaining connected to Christ. This sermon looks at: Why knowledge alone has limits How a relationship with Jesus fuels real growth The role of the Holy Spirit in producing fruit Why spiritual growth is not self-improvement, but Christ expressed through us If you’ve ever wondered why your faith feels stagnant—or what real growth actually looks like—this message is for you. 📖 Key Scripture: John 15 📍 Church: New Faith Church – Canal Winchester, Ohio 👉 Whether you’re exploring faith or seeking deeper spiritual maturity, we invite you to listen, reflect, and stay connected. Growth doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from staying connected. What helps you stay connected to Christ during the week?

What we connect to shapes us more than we realize. Our habits, influences, and dependencies don’t just affect our schedules — they condition our hearts. In this message from Matthew 19, we explore what Jesus teaches about connection, childlike faith, and true dependence on God. From cultural influences and moral formation to wealth, trust, and surrender, this sermon challenges us to examine who (and what) we are really connected to — and how those connections are shaping our lives. Jesus reminds us that when we connect to God with the heart of a child and follow Him with full surrender, there are no limits to what He can do. 🔑 In this message, you’ll hear about: Why connection is never neutral What it means to have childlike faith How our connections condition our hearts and decisions The danger of false dependencies (wealth, power, self-reliance) Why Jesus says, “With God, all things are possible” How to live a life fully connected to God — with faith, trust, and love Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to church, or growing in your walk with Christ, this message invites you to pause and ask an honest question: Who are you connected to? ⏱ Message Chapters 00:00 – Connections Will Condition You 02:30 – What Are We Connecting To? 07:35 – God Designed Us for Connection 08:50 – Faith Like a Child 12:35 – What You Connect To Shapes You 18:50 – Dependency, Wealth, and Trust 21:25 – A Life That Leaves an Impact 23:00 – With God, All Things Are Possible 27:30 – Living Fully Connected 32:20 – Invitation & Prayer 🙏 Take a Next Step If this message spoke to you: Take a moment to reflect and pray Share this message with someone who needs encouragement Let us know how we can pray for you or walk with you 📍 Learn more about New Faith Church: www.newfaithcw.org 🔔 Stay Connected Subscribe for weekly messages and encouragement as we grow together in faith.
