Welcome to New Covenant! We believe God is good all the time and we gather on Sundays to celebrate His goodness. We are really glad you have decided to join us today! If you are new to New Covenant be sure to visit our Welcome Centre in the lobby to receive a special gift and a brochure designed to help you get the most out of your first few visits. Our hope is that as you take the next step into the New Covenant community and get involved, you will begin to see that NC is more than just a Sunday Morning celebration; it is a family of everyday people following Jesus together to bring hope and change to the world - one life at a time.
Find your anchor in 2014!
Celebrating God’s goodness
This month we begin a new sermon series on the book of Hebrews entitled, ‘Anchored’. The title is taken from Heb. 6:18-19 that say, “Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.” If 2014 is like any other year, we are bound to face some trials, tribulations and storms. The good news is that in Jesus we have a strong and trustworthy anchor that gives us access to God as a source of help in whatever situation we are facing. Many of us have a tendency to let the storms of life push us around like a boat without an anchor is tossed by the waves. Jesus, on the otherhand, is unaffected by storms and is a great anchor to cling to when we are facing one of life’s storms. Matthew 8:23-27 records the story of Jesus and His disciples getting caught in a big storm while trying to cross the sea of Galilee by boat. We know it’s a big storm because the disciples, many of whom were experienced fishermen, feared that the boat would sink and they would all drown (v.25). Jesus, on the otherhand, is in the bottom of the boat sleeping; seemingly unaffected by the storm raging all around him. The disciples wake Jesus who rebukes the wind and the waves and the storm subsides leaving a great calm. The disciples learned that there is no storm too big for Jesus to handle. Before they woke Jesus it seemed like they were all going to die. But once they turned to Jesus in the face of their struggle He calmed their storm and they were all saved. In this series we hope to encourage you to look to Jesus in every situation you face and learn, like the disciples, that Jesus is big enough to help you through any storm you face this year.

It is a breakdown of our Christian responsibility and weapons usage in God’s final plan for us to get in the fight, take the battle to Satan, and win ground for God!
