TO BE THE HEART AND HANDS OF CHRIST
Welcome
New Life seeks to be the heart and hands of Christ in our community. As our name implies, we are living testimonies that Jesus changes people, "just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life" (Rom 6:4).

Sermon Series
The Liturgy of Christmas
Come and worship at New Life Presbyterian Church this Christmas. Christmas is the gracious condescension of God in Jesus Christ, born of flesh and nestled in a manger; because Jesus has come down, we are permitted to go up. Therefore, we have confidence to enter the holy place of heaven by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19). This spiritual ascension to heaven especially happens when the church congregation of saints gathers for public worship. The word liturgy literally means "public service" -- each part of public worship is like another ascending step toward heaven, where we participate with God through Christ by the Spirit in the true heavenly throne room of God. Prayer, confession of sin, assurance of pardon, and singing of praises are like spiritual steps drawing us up and into God's holy presence in heaven. This is all made possible through the curtain of Christ's flesh (Hebrews 10:20). There is a liturgy to Christmas: because God has come down to us we are permitted to go up to him.
