This message marks the final installment of our Family Office series—a teaching that parallels the financial concept of a multi-generational “family office” with the spiritual responsibilities of a godly household. In this episode, Pastor Joe focuses on the role of the King in the family. With clarity and conviction, he challenges men—especially husbands and fathers—not to abdicate their calling to lead under the guise of passivity or false humility. Instead, he exhorts them to serve by leading, rather than lead by serving, reclaiming the authority God intended for the sake of the family’s spiritual future. If you're a man of God, or you’re raising one—this message is essential.

There’s something powerful about watching people publicly commit to Jesus—and in this episode, we get to celebrate it. After baptizing several new believers, Pastor Joe shares a heartfelt, unscripted message on the joy, depth, and meaning of baptism. It’s more than a ritual—it’s a declaration that we’ve been buried with Christ and raised to new life. If you’ve ever wondered why baptism matters, or if you're ready to go deeper in your own walk with God, this short but moving message will both inspire and challenge you.

When the wealthy want to steward their resources for generations, they establish what’s called a family office — a central structure to manage vision, values, and legacy. But what if God has a similar design for spiritual wealth? In this message, Pastor Joe Parker draws a powerful parallel between the concept of a family office and the priesthood of believers — specifically the role of spiritual leadership within the family. As parents, leaders, and Christ-followers, we’re called not only to pass on provision, but a pattern of worship, wisdom, and spiritual strength. This is more than a sermon — it’s a blueprint for generational impact.

Episode Title: Organic Christianity (Part 1) Speaker: Pastor Joe Parker Originally Delivered: October 5, 2025 Republished by: New Life Church Podcast We live in a world full of additives — even our food comes with a long list of ingredients we can’t pronounce. That’s why “organic” costs more: it’s less of what you shouldn’t have; more of what you actually want. The same is true for our faith. In this message, Pastor Joe Parker kicks off a new series called Organic Christianity, drawing us back to the simplicity and power of the early church. No additives, no distractions — just Jesus. The early church wasn’t built on programs, personalities, or performance. It was built on a person: Jesus Christ. He wasn’t part of the message — He was the message.

Episode Title: The Archer, the Arrow, and the Adversary Speaker:G Rev. Tim Blevins Originally Delivered: September 28, 2025 Key Text: Psalm 127:3–5 “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior…” — Psalm 127 paints a picture of generational purpose, spiritual legacy, and God’s strategy for victory through the family. In this powerful message, Rev. Tim Blevins shares wisdom on what it means to be an archer (a parent or spiritual leader), an arrow (the next generation), and to recognize the adversary who seeks to disrupt God’s design. It’s a call to parents, mentors, and believers of all ages to align themselves with God’s vision for raising up arrows that fly farther than we ever could.

Original recorded date: 9-21-2025 In this soul-stirring message, Pastor Joe Parker unpacks “The Law of Christ” — the powerful truth that at the center of our faith is love. Not the kind of love the world offers, but the radical, sacrificial, and redeeming love that Christ modeled for us. Pastor Joe challenges us to reconsider what it really means to love as Christ loves — not just in word or feeling, but in the choices we make and the people we serve. Whether you’re feeling dry in your walk or deeply rooted, this message will realign your heart with the greatest commandment.

"Positioned for Purpose" - Pastor Joe Parker | August 31, 2025:  Before the mantle ever falls, something must be surrendered. In this powerful message from Pastor Joe Parker, we revisit the journey of Elijah and Elisha—not just as a transfer of spiritual authority, but as a model for how God positions His people for purpose. Elisha wasn’t just in the right place at the right time — he was obedient, sacrificial, and available. This message will challenge you to reflect on: What have you broken agreement with? What needs to die before new life can begin? Are you where God wants you, so He can use you? God’s calling doesn’t start when the mantle hits your shoulders. It starts when you say yes to the journey.

“The Sound of Abundance” - Pastor Joe Parker | July 17, 2025 Can you hear what heaven is saying — even when the sky looks empty? In this message, Pastor Joe Parker takes us to the mountaintop moment between Elijah and Ahab, where faith heard what eyes could not yet see: “There is the sound of abundance of rain.” Before there’s a breakthrough in the natural, there’s often a stirring in the spiritual. This message is a challenge to lean in, listen, and believe — even when the clouds haven’t formed yet. If you’ve been in a season of drought — emotionally, spiritually, financially — this word will encourage you to posture yourself in expectation. Abundance often comes on the heels of obedience.

“Rub some dirt in it.” “Walk it off.” We’ve all heard those phrases — but what happens when that’s the advice we carry into our spiritual lives?   In this lighthearted yet powerful message, Pastor Joe Parker challenges the idea that healing and growth only come through toughness. Drawing from personal experience and biblical insight, Pastor Joe invites us to see that while God’s voice may not always sound how we expect, it always speaks to the heart.   This episode is a reminder that faith isn’t about pretending everything is okay — it’s about walking out the truth even when you’re limping. Through encouragement and grace, you’ll be reminded that you don’t have to walk alone, and you don’t have to fake your strength to keep going.
