Are you part of the crowd, stuck in the conflict, or ready to answer the call?This Sunday’s message, “Crowds, Conflict, and Calling,” takes us into Mark 3 where we see three powerful realities unfolding around Jesus. The crowds are growing. The opposition is intensifying. And in the middle of it all, Jesus calls ordinary men to follow Him.As the fame of Christ spreads, so does resistance. Religious leaders question His authority. Hearts are exposed. Motives are revealed. And yet, Jesus is not distracted by applause or intimidated by opposition. He remains focused on His mission — and He invites others to join Him in it.This message will challenge us to examine where we stand. Are we simply part of the crowd, watching from a distance? Are we resisting what Jesus wants to do in us? Or are we willing to step forward when He calls our name?Our God is an extraordinary God who uses ordinary people. The question is not whether He is calling — the question is whether we are ready to respond.At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

What if your deepest problem isn’t the pressure you feel… but the sin you carry?This Sunday at New Promise Church (10 AM), we’re walking through Mark 2 and asking a powerful question: Who has the authority to forgive sins?When a paralyzed man is lowered through a roof to reach Jesus, everyone expects a miracle of healing. Instead, Jesus says something shocking:“Son, your sins are forgiven.”The religious leaders immediately question His authority. After all, only God can forgive sins. But Jesus doesn’t back down. He proves His authority in a way no one can deny—by healing the man in full view of everyone.This passage forces us to wrestle with something personal:Is Jesus just a teacher… or does He truly have divine authority?Do we come to Him only for surface-level fixes… or for soul-level forgiveness?Are we willing to trust Him with the deepest parts of our lives?Jesus didn’t come just to make bad days better.He came to rescue the spiritually sick.He came with authority.He came to forgive.Join us as we explore what it means to trust the One who has authority not only to heal — but to forgive.

Many of us know God has called us — but we still live like we don’t have permission. We try to fight sin, share faith, and follow Christ while still asking the world for approval.

But Jesus doesn’t just give assignments… He gives authority.

Are you living out your calling with your own permission — or Christ’s authority?
