The Gospel. Many people know what it means, but suprisingly many don't know exactly what the Bible says it is. According to Paul, the gospel is the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That's good news indeed! We know through that gospel that he made a way for every person to be born again and make Heaven their home. Along the way though between salvation and redemption, there's going to be some bumps in the road. There's going to be temptations, attacks, failures and trials. If you ha...

Circumstances beyond our control. Situations that we can't comprehend. Questions that never receive answers and we're left with even more questions! Have you been there? We have! Pastor Puckett takes us through two men, Joseph and David, two seemingly insignificant men. Two men with a calling, two men with a destiny, two men who endured many serious trials and setbacks on their way to their calling and expected end. We see two men who endured a process. From the field to the throne of Egypt, fro...

The sin problem in the world is the great separater between man and God. Sin is no less dangerous today than it was in the beginning. In 2021, sin is more prevalent than maybe ever before, but that does not excuse the mission of the church. Even as a young man, Jesus declared to his parents that he must be about his Father's business. The purpose of the church is to be about our Father's business. We have been given the word and ministry of reconciliation, to bring a lost and dying world back to...

We often hear and talk a lot about the love of God, but do we truly understand that kind of love? Agape love, sacrificial love, what is it? How does God demonstrate it and what does it look like? Spirit-filled believers Paul says, has that same love shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, so how do we apply that kind of powerful love to our lives? How can that love heal old wounds, mend old offenses and cover a multitude of sins? Even more, how does God want you and I to experience that l...

The first time Abram built and altar and called on the name of the Lord, it was in a place called Bethel. God called Jacob back to Bethel, what is the significance of that place? Bethel was the place where it began, a place where the altar was first built, wher the name of the Lord was first called upon, it was a place of beginnings! Do you remember your Bethel? Where you first built and altar, where you first called on the name of the Lord? It's time to get back to that place where the fire fir...

Sometimes we feel like we have so little to offer God. In the midst of our failings and shortcomings it feels like sometimes we have little to give. Maybe it's something you've been praying about? You've prayed every way you know, maybe even for years and nothing.......and you feel like you don't know how much more you got. That's when you bring what you have left!! What about the loaves and the fish? We forget just how much Jesus can do with our "so little" and what he can do with "what we have...

Perilous times! That's the words the Apostle Paul penned to describe the end time. No doubt we are living in a very self-centered, self-willed world. Very little is sacred anymore outside of a person's own opinion or social media status. But what about values, morals, righteous principles, or even good manners? It's said that things that are rare, are priceless. Far too valuable to even put a number on. In this midweek Bible study we get into "How to be pricesless in a world that values nothing"...

What does it mean to be a believer? A mental confirmation? A head nod in service? A well placed "Amen" during the preaching? Or is there something more? Something more that God expects out of his people and out of his church? What if we are missing the mark? Claiming to be believers with very little to show for it. Pastor Puckett addresses this within the church and the personal lives of God's people. What does mean to be a believer? Tune in and find out! We pray this message blesses and encoura...

There is little doubt that we are living in the end times right now. Bible prophecy is happening at an ever increasing rate right before our eyes. The Bible is clear, that the times right before the second come of Jesus would be very dark and very intense. Jesus himself describes this time and these signs in both Luke 21 and Matthew 24. As dark and and trecherous that these times will become, the Lord gives his church instructions for when we see these things happening. The instructions are very...

The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy and told him that in the last days, perilous times would come. Jesus himself gave us the signs that we would look for just prior to his second coming. We are in those day now. As Bible prophecy continues to come to pass at an accelerated and even alarming rate, we must know what to both look for and even more importantly, DO in this hour! Where is the ark of safety in this hour and how shall we endure to the end? We pray this message both inspires your faith and...

Everyone remembers the old children's rhyme, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? It may be been used to comfort hundreds of thousands of children over the years, but the Bible would disagree with that statement. Words are very powerful and when not carefully measured out, can do immeasurable damage. Scripture has a lot to say about the power of words, especially in the book of Proverbs. This mesage delves into looking at the power of words throught a scriptureal...

The frontline of every spiritual battle is in the mind. Spiritual strong holds always begin in the mind and the battle for our thoughts must be won in order to live in the peace of, and after the will of God. Too many Spirit-filled Christians are falling victim and suffering catastrophic spiritual set backs because of strong holds and high things that have set up residence in their minds. Relationships and friendships destroyed, church taking on immense damage, division within the body are only ...

A powerful move of God preceded this message. There was a physical healing that occurred just prior to the preaching. A challenging message about the current condition of the church in the post-modern era. The church should not be timid. The church should not cower in the face of it's enemies. Jesus is the only hope for the world today, the word of God is the only answer and the church is the vehicle that God chose to save the world. Then why aren't we? Why arent' we fighting, praying, believing...

Week 4. We continue our new study here at New Life regarding various scriptures that are often misquoted, misunderstood or misapplied.

Every year you see signs for churches holding revivals. What we don't often realize is that there is a revival that precedes another revival. In order for churches to have revival coming from outside the church, they must first have revival from insided the church. Daily personal revival. Revival in our homes, revival in our marriages, revival in our families, revival in our daily walk with God. When that revival sweeps through the body of Christ, it's THEN that revival can occur in neighborhood...

In concept it would seem that hedges and walls have much in common. Nothing could be furthur from the truth spiritually. While hedges most often come from God, walls are a construction of the human mind in an attempt to become our own protectors. Sadly, our self-contructed walls are to blame for so many that are spiritually stagnant or stunted, desiring to do more for God but unable to grow spiritually. Pastor Puckett preaches on the opportunity that God gives each of us to trade our walls for h...

Pastor Puckett draws the comparison between the ark and the church today. Emphasizing the absolute to stay in the church, it is the only sanctuary and the vehicle of salvation for the world today!

50 days after Passover is the Feast of Pentecost. In the New Testament Church we know it as much more than a Jewish feast or holiday, the New Testament Church recognizes the day of Pentecost as the birthday of the church. So what is so significant about the church that Jesus planned, ordained, died for and built? That the redemption of the entire world would come through the vehicle of the NT Church! The church however cannot possibly stand against supernatural wickedness, darkness and the gates...

Moses had a tent of meeting where we went to get alone with God and commune with God. Each of us need to have that place where we can go and get alone with God. A place where we can go to get answers, a place where we can go to get direction. A private, quiet place where only you and God can be found. When you find that, nothing ...

The Bible says that God delights in blessing his people. Israel was chosen by God to be his. They were chosen to be the people of promise and to have the inheritance of the promises of God. But there was something that continuously hindered Israel from coming into those blessings, their murmuring (complaining). Just like Israel, you and I have the power to derail or at best, delay the blessings and promises of God in our lives. Through complaining, grumbling, worry and always looking for the neg...

Scripture tells us there are indeed things that offend God and things he's judged because he finds them offensive. Pastor Puckett outlines through scripture, things that offend the Lord and things we often think that do, that really don't. We pray this not only brings revelation to you, but will draw you c...
