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.    

​​Description: This week we’re diving into Living Aligned in Relationship. Relationships are where our faith and our humanity are tested the most—where boundaries, forgiveness, and mutuality either bring wholeness or leave us fragmented. In Romans 12:1–8, Paul shows us that living aligned with God means learning how to invite others into our lives with clear boundaries, how to forgive without erasing truth, and how to pursue mutuality instead of one-sided consuming. In this episode, we’ll explore the difference between boundaries and barriers, why real community requires both vulnerability and responsibility, and how endurance in relationships transforms you—not just your spouse, your friend, or your church, but you.   Need someone to talk to?

I Believe In this brief but powerful message, Pastor Joe Parker reminds us that belief isn’t just intellectual agreement — it’s the foundation we build our lives on. Scripture is filled with examples of belief, but not all belief leads to transformation. True belief shapes decisions, changes priorities, and strengthens our faith walk. This message is a challenge to move beyond surface-level faith and plant your life firmly on the truth of God’s Word.

When life backs you into ‘a cave’—when you’re surrounded by darkness, disillusionment, and distress—can you still hear God’s voice?   In this heartfelt message, Pastor Dave Parker walks us through the Cave of Adullam, where David ran for his life and found something far greater than safety: he found the presence of God. Drawing from 1 Samuel 22 and the Psalms that flowed from David’s pain, Pastor Dave reminds us that the cave isn’t the end of the story—it’s often the birthplace of revelation.   Whether you’re weary, wounded, or just waiting for direction, this message speaks to the God who meets us in our darkest moments, not just with rescue, but with relationship. Because even when everything feels quiet… He’s still speaking. Original Message Delivery Date: July 27, 2025 New Life Church 5435 W National Rd,  Springfield, OH 45504 © 2025 New Life Church.

In Genesis 27, Isaac was deceived not by what he saw—but by what he felt and smelled. The voice didn’t match the scent. And that subtle mismatch changed everything. In this eye-opening message, Pastor Joe Parker explores how spiritual deception often comes wrapped in the familiar. Through the story of Jacob and Esau—and the lingering scent of manipulation—we’re reminded that discernment doesn’t come through our senses alone. It comes from knowing the source. Whether it’s the sweet fragrance of worship or the unsettling sense that “something’s off,” we’re called to test what we hear, feel, and follow. Because in a world full of spiritual noise, deception rarely shows up waving a flag. It usually just… smells off.

What if the anointing wasn’t just a spiritual buzzword... but a force that reshapes how you live, lead, and love? In this message, Pastor Joe Parker explores the quiet power behind true anointing—how it’s activated through submission, rooted in connection, and made for real-world impact. This isn’t about hype. It’s about heaven’s purpose pressing into your everyday life. If you’ve been hungry for something real—something that breaks yokes and awakens your calling—this word is for you.

What happens when your plans don’t align with heaven’s? In this Spirit-led moment, Pastor Joe Parker sets aside a prepared message to follow the tug of the Holy Spirit—and what unfolds is a powerful call to the generations. This isn’t about polished sermons. It’s about presence. It’s about fathers being charged, young people being stirred, and the kind of clarity that only comes when God speaks midstream. If you’ve ever needed permission to slow down and just listen… this one’s for you.

What if the kind of faith Jesus is calling you to doesn’t look like anyone else’s? In this powerful message, Pastor Andrew Goodwin invites us to reimagine faith — not as something safe or polished, but as something bold enough to step out of the boat. Using the familiar story of Peter walking on water, this isn’t just another reminder to “have faith.” It’s a challenge to believe, act, and look to Christ differently — even when the waves are high, and the crowd stays seated. This episode will make you ask yourself: What’s keeping me in the boat? What if Jesus is inviting me into deeper waters? If you’ve ever felt the tension between doubt and desire, or wondered what a real, raw faith looks like in 2025 — this one’s for you.

What if the place you thought was your breaking point... was actually where grace begins? In this week’s message, Pastor Joe invites us to rethink the boundaries we put around ourselves, our healing, and even God. Maybe grace isn’t just what covers us when we fail — maybe it’s what carries us when we can’t move forward on our own. If you’ve ever wondered how long your pain will last, or whether God still sees you in it, this message is for you.

In today’s message, Pastor Joe unpacks what it really means to live a life of worship—not just in music or moments, but in mindset, sacrifice, and surrender. He reminds us that true worship isn’t about performance or preference—it’s about presence. Drawing from Luke 5-30-19 & 2 Kings 5:1-14 and other foundational scriptures, we’re invited to reconsider what “our kind” of worship looks like when it’s shaped more by heaven than by habit. Whether you’re raising your hands, raising your kids, or raising your voice in the hard places—worship is a response, not a style. Take a moment, lean in, and ask yourself: What kind of worship is God calling me into today?

Sowing may seem like a small effort, but it’s never in vain. Trust in the Holy Spirit to prepare the ground, and continue sowing in faith. God can take what you sow and multiply it in ways you can’t imagine, bringing an abundant harvest that far exceeds the seed. Keep sowing, for the harvest is promised!

This week’s sermon reflects on Elizabeth’s prophetic blessing to Mary and the power of unwavering faith in God’s promises. Through the stories of Mary and Elizabeth, Pastor Joe explores the profound truth that “blessed are those who believe.” Join us as we uncover the heart of the Christmas story and its call to trust in God’s perfect plan for our lives.
