We are just getting started, but soon you will be able to not only listen to the sermons, but also download the notes or powerpoint with the messages.  Please let Pastor John know if you have any problems using this feature.

 

 

Note:  The player above advertises sermons from other ministries.  This is a function of our media provider and these messages may or may not reflect the belief of New Life Community Church.  If you are visiting our web site, we invite you to come to our services on Sunday.  We have a wonderful group of believers who would love to meet you.

 

Survey of the Bible

On Wednesday nights we have started a new weekly Bible study which is a survey of all of the books of the Old Testament.  The goal is to go over about one book every two weeks.  Some books will take more time and some minor prophets will be combined. This interactive study will take about 1 year and is intended to simply give an overview of each book and identify some hightlights of each book.  In order to keep this from being strictly an academic study, portions of each book will be examined in a devotional sense.  Below are some PDF files of the notes (discussion questions) from the study. Just click on a link below to access the PDF. It is my prayer that  these study notes will be a blessing to you as you dive into God's word for yourself.  If you are interested in getting word versions of these notes to edit for your use, please use the contact page and send me an e-mail, I would love to hear from you.  (Note:  I use the contact form just to reduce spam - I intend to respond to any inquiries I see).
