New Circle Church

Much like faithful sports fans boast "WE won!" after their favorite team earns a win, it can be tempting for us to boast in our salvation, even though WE did nothing to earn the victory -- Jesus did the ultimate work of sacrificing His life for our salvation. Romans 3:27

Unlike major airlines who offer platinum medallion status, there is no preferred status with God. None of us is better than anyone else.▪Romans 3:10-12▪Have you considered there may be a "thing" that makes you feel you have a preferred status with God?

Hearts united, hands lifted, and faith alive 🙌

An enduring faith is an adapting faith - strive to adapt in your faith! God isn't afraid of your questions. Adaptation is the good fruit of wrestling with God.

NCC Youth had a full weekend - rock climbing and hosting a lemonade stand to benefit our neighbors at Coburn Place!

BLOCK PARTY CANCELLED! We've made the incredibly difficult decision to cancel our community Block Party for tomorrow, July 12th. Be on the lookout for information about our Fall Festival in November coming soon!

Labeling ourselves "Christian" does not automatically make it so. ▪️Romans 2:25▪Much like Paul invited the Romans to do, we're invited to honestly examine our lives to see if we're truly aligned with being a trusting, transforming follower of Jesus.

We hope everyone enjoyed the Fourth of July weekend 🎆 See you this weekend for our community Block Party on Saturday 6-8pm! Food, fun, and free for all!

God does not play favorites. And much like the Romans, when we think we are the favorite, especially God's favorite, we can look down on others. ▪ Romans 2:1-3 ▪ Have you considered yourself better than others in God's eyes?

We tried something different during our fifth Sunday Family Gathering and sought to lower the sensory intake for people attending. We dimmed the lights, we quieted the music, and we took communion differently. ▪ If you attended, what'd you think?

Oftentimes, we may think God desires to destroy people; He's angry about people. But really, God is not wrathful against people. God is wrathful toward sin. ▪ Have you felt God is angry with you? Have you considered He may be angry about sin, not you?

Save the Date! Our annual community block party is coming up Saturday, July 12 from 6-8PM. More information at newcirclechurch.com/events All Are Welcome! | Free Entry | Music | Food Truck Community Resources | Inflatables & Yard Games

The gospel of Jesus was not a "winning" message for Paul in a culture who saw no honor in crucifixion, but the same gospel is what gave Paul confidence to be unashamed in sharing it.

Rome was a hard place to be a follower of Christ. Paul writes to the church with thanksgiving for their faith in the midst of it. ▪ Thanksgiving helps us remember the grace of God. Who can you express gratitude to for their faith in the midst of a challenging culture today?
