NWLA Church | "Surrender"

New Wave Church
Los Angeles, California, USA
 
Surrender - the old man (habits , fears, the past).
 
Matthew 16:24-25
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
 
To surrender is to observe, submit and follow the leadership and Lordship of Jesus over your life.

NWLA Church | Ministry flows out of the Home 10/11/20

Ephesians 5:25-33
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
.
If we can easily bypass our marriages for our ministries we can easily forget Christ in our Church. I would offer this to any married Christian couple - your Christianity is better reflected in your marriage than in any ministry.

NWLA Church | The Ministry of the Church

"The work of the Believer" 
Jesus has given us the responsibility of ministry.
Luke 9:10-17 ESV 10 On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. 11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing. 12 Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” 13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” 14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

NWLA Church | Body Language 9/27/2020

"We know what you say, but we believer what you do..." Ephesians 4:11-16 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:11-16 NKJV) .Ephesians 5:22-30 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. (Ephesians 5:22-30 NKJV).

Mental Health | pt. 1 - Discussion with a Mental Health Professional about Anxiety

I sat down with Ciera M. who is a Licensed Social Worker in the Los Angeles area. In this first episode we talk about statistics and those with Anxiety. Ciera shares some of her background and what got her in to this field of work. Also, she shares some scary situations that she found herself in. What does Anxiety cover? What does it look like? Is therapy still taboo? What does culture have to do with Mental Health? Ciera also shares her thoughts on Pop culture science - "it was on Instagram; so it must be true" or “my grandma says so!”  Her goal is to bring people into an Educated and equipped position vs. an "I heard/saw this on social media so it must be true" position.

NWLA Church | Work & Water Series | Part #3

9/13/2020
Work & Water Sermon Series 1 Corinthians 3:1-9But I, brothers,[a] could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?
5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building..Our mission as the Church is temporary but our result is eternal..nwlachurch.comChurch online with small group meetups. | A new Church plant growing in the city of Los Angeles, CA | NWLAChurch is aiming to break the barriers of tradition and location.

1 Corinthians 3:8
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

Watering is a service, a work, a ministry and it can only be done in humility; Watering is an act that requires vision for the future and discipline for the now.

NWLA Church | Image • Imago Dei part #2

Matthew 22:15-22
Taxes were usually the impetus or movement that caused revolutions. Specifically NOT paying taxes. Make no mistake about this - it was a politically motivated position the Pharisees were trying to trap Jesus in.
•
The context of this particular situation is important. Context is always important when it comes to scripture. However, the basis for the confrontation from the Pharisees was much more than addressing the position Jesus held on paying taxes.
•
The Herodians and the Pharisees disagreed on a lot of stuff. The one thing that united them was their opposition of Jesus. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” Their common goal was to get rid of Jesus.
