New Creation Church Oregon

When was the last time you led someone to Jesus? Pastor Rod gets real about the main reason God put us on this earth — and it's not a bigger house, a newer car, or more stuff. It's souls. He shares from his own life transformation and gives every believer practical, real-world tools to become a confident soul winner starting this week. In this episode you'll hear why winning souls is the number one priority for every believer, how your personal testimony is your most powerful witnessing tool, the role of the Holy Spirit's power in being an effective witness, why love and compassion open doors that condemnation slams shut, and simple, practical ways to share Jesus anywhere — restaurants, neighborhoods, and everyday life.

Have you ever worked so hard on something, gotten so frustrated, sweat dripping, ready to give up, only to realize you were turning the bolt the wrong way the whole time? In this episode, Pastor Nate Rauschert uses that exact moment to describe what life looks like when we are striving in our own strength instead of flowing in the rhythms of God's grace. Drawing from Psalm 23, Proverbs 3, and James 4, you will discover that grace is not a reward for the people who have it all figured out. It is a gift that overtakes the people who are humble enough to stay surrendered, acknowledge God in everything, and refuse to let sin, distraction, or self-sufficiency cut them off from the voice of the One who actually knows the plan. If your life has felt more like a fight than a flow lately, this episode is exactly what you need. Tune in and find out what it really means to be caught up in the rhythms of grace.

Your words are not just words. They are creating something, and in this episode Pastor Rod Sundholm is going to show you exactly what that means for your everyday life. Drawing from Joshua 1:8, Proverbs 18:21, and Philippians 4:13, you will discover that God has already made provision for every situation you will ever face, but walking in that victory requires you to open your mouth and speak what he says rather than what you see. If your prayers have felt unproductive, your faith has felt weak, or you have been agreeing with the wrong voice in the middle of your circumstances, this message will give you a practical and powerful reset. Tune in, grab a pen, and get ready to fill your mouth with the Word of God in a way that will move you from stuck to unstoppable.

What has God placed in your hands that you have been afraid to use? In this episode, Lynette Estrada brings a stirring and practical word about faithful stewardship, forward momentum, and the new era God is activating in the earth right now. Drawing from Romans 12, Matthew 25, Luke 16, and 2 Corinthians 5, you will be challenged to take an honest look at who you are in Christ, what you have been entrusted with, and whether you are truly moving forward or just going through the motions of religion. This is not a message about doing more for the sake of being busy. It is an invitation to quiet yourself before God, get clear on what he is calling you toward, and step into the fruitful, purpose-filled relationship with him that you were always meant to walk in. Tune in, let it push you forward, and share it with someone in your life who needs a fresh yes in their faith.

What is God actually looking for when he looks for worshipers? In this episode, Pastor Megan Rauschert opens up John 4 and gets straight to the heart of it. True worship is not a song, a feeling, or a performance you put on for the people around you. It is a pure, surrendered, spirit-to-spirit connection with the God who already knows your heart and is looking for the real thing, not the brass version. You will discover why the lyrics you sing matter more than you might think, how to move from spectator to true worshiper even when life is hard, and why worship and warfare are far more connected than most people realize. If you have been going through the motions and wondering why something feels missing in your walk with God, this is the episode you need. Tune in, open your heart, and let God show you what it means to worship him in spirit and in truth.

Are the blessings of God overtaking you, or does it feel more like your problems are? In this episode, Pastor Rod Sundholm opens up Deuteronomy 28 and breaks down what it actually means to live a victorious life — not just survive it. You will learn why victory is less about what happens to you and more about what you have been building in the Word and in prayer long before the problem ever showed up. Just like an athlete who trains the same motion every single day until it becomes unstoppable, your consistency in seeking God is what prepares you for every situation before it arrives. If you have been shaken by circumstances, people, or the enemy lately, tune in and let this word get you back on your feet. You are not behind. You are not forgotten. God is on your side and that changes everything.

Sharing your faith doesn't require a script, a soapbox, or all the answers. In this episode, Hannah gets refreshingly honest about the moments she's missed, the excuses she's made, and what God is still teaching her about seeing people the way Jesus does. If you've ever felt too distracted, too introverted, or just too busy to evangelize, this conversation is for you. You'll walk away reminded that your everyday life, your job, your commute, your grocery run, is already your mission field, and that one simple, authentic moment can change someone's eternity.

Whatever you've been believing God for, don't you dare quit. In this episode, you'll be challenged and encouraged to fight the good fight of faith with everything you've got, holding on to your confession, training yourself in the Word, and trusting that God's timing is perfect even when you can't see it yet. Through real, personal stories of standing on Scripture through injury, sickness, and doubt, you'll be reminded that the Word hidden in your heart will show up exactly when you need it most. This one is for you if you've been tempted to give up on a prayer that hasn't been answered yet.

Did you know that God didn't just save you, He sent you? In this episode, you'll be reminded that you are the church, Christ's body on the earth, and that spreading the good news of Jesus isn't just for pastors and ministry leaders. It's for you. Through key scriptures in John and Colossians, you'll gain a fresh understanding of what it truly means to abide in Christ, walk in His power, and reach the people around you with the love and life of God. If you've ever thought you weren't qualified, gifted enough, or good enough to make a difference, this message is exactly what you need to hear. Tune in, let it settle in your heart, and get ready to step into the calling God placed on your life before you were ever born.

If you've ever wondered what baptism is really about or whether it actually matters, this episode is for you. In this message on the baptized life, you'll walk through some of the most powerful baptism stories in the New Testament and discover that for the early church, baptism and salvation went hand in hand. It wasn't tradition, it wasn't casual, and for many believers it even came at the risk of their lives. But they did it anyway, because declaring your faith in Christ publicly is a big deal. You'll also be reminded of the gospel in its simplest and most beautiful form, that you didn't find Jesus, He found you, and the grace He extended to you changes everything about the way you live. Tune in, let the truth settle deep, and ask yourself: are you living the baptized life?

What if the key to breakthrough in your own life is found in reaching out to someone else? In this episode, you'll hear a message straight from Acts 8 that reminds you that every believer is called to go. You don't need a platform, a title, or the perfect words. You just need a willing heart and the story of what God has already done in your life. Whether it's sharing your faith with a coworker, praying for a stranger, or stepping into a place where people are desperate for hope, God's Spirit inside of you is ready to move. Listen in, let this message stir something fresh in you about soul winning and sharing the gospel, and go into your week ready to reach someone for Jesus.

You are not too far gone. In this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Nate Rauschert brings a raw, real, and deeply encouraging word for anyone who has ever felt like the underdog, the outsider, or the one who doesn't quite fit. Drawing from Matthew 9 and the three parables of Luke 15 — the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son — you'll hear the story of a God who doesn't sit back and wait for you to clean yourself up. He runs to you. He throws a party over you. He calls you an heir, not a servant. Whether this is your first Easter hearing about Jesus or you're coming back after a long time away, this message is your invitation home. Tune in and be reminded — God is rooting for you.

You are more powerful than you think — and this episode is going to remind you why. In this rich word study, you'll explore the two primary names of God in Scripture: Elohim, the all-powerful plural Creator, and Yahweh, the personal Lord who reaches out to you. When Genesis 1:26 says "Let us make human beings in our image," that us is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and that image is what you carry. Tune in and be stirred to stop tolerating anxiety, oppression, and fear. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit live inside you. It's time to walk like it.

You believe it — but are you saying it? In this powerful First Wednesday teaching, you'll explore one of the most practical and transformative principles in Scripture: the power of your confession. Romans 10:10 is clear — belief in the heart and confession with the mouth work together, and one without the other won't get you where you're going. Whether you're believing God for healing, financial provision, or breakthrough in your family, this episode will challenge you to stop just thinking it and start speaking it — consistently, boldly, and without wavering. The story of Dr. Lillian B. Yeomans alone is worth the listen. Tune in and let your words start working for you.

You were never meant to live on autopilot—you were meant to live on mission. In this message, you’ll be encouraged to confront unbelief, surrender fully to God, and recognize that your everyday life is filled with divine opportunities to advance the gospel. As you listen, let God reshape how you see your calling, reminding you that being mission-minded starts right where you are.

We're all a work in progress — and this episode is a timely reminder of exactly that. Pastor Brian brings a raw, honest message from Matthew 7 that doesn't let anyone off the hook, including himself. If you've ever caught yourself judging someone before they even had a chance, or if you've stayed away from church because you were afraid of being judged, this conversation is for you. You'll hear the difference between passing quick judgment and sharing truth in love, why the standard you use on others always finds its way back to you, and how letting Jesus be your General Contractor changes everything about how you build your life. Listen in, let the truth settle in your heart, and walk away ready to extend the same mercy you're hoping to receive.

Have you ever been in the middle of a crisis — heart breaking, world spinning — and wondered if God was even paying attention? This episode will meet you right there. Through the name Jehovah Shammah ("The Lord is There"), the story of Jacob wrestling with God, and rich teaching on the Hebrew feasts, you'll be reminded that your hardest moments have never been moments you faced alone. God was there — fighting for you, interceding through others on your behalf, and keeping every promise He made over your life. Tune in and let your faith be strengthened by the truth that He is with you now, and He always will be.
