5 Questions Christians Avoid | That’s a Good Question | Pastor Brandon Woodard
How should Christians navigate politics, cultural pressure, sexual desires, and hard church questions? In this Q&A session, we tackle 5 tough questions facing believers today—from balancing love for country vs. devotion to Jesus, to understanding what "turning the other cheek" really means in a...

Good People Don't Go to Heaven. Here's Why | That’s a Good Question | Pastor Brandon Woodard
We’ve all wrestled with big, intimidating questions about our faith, our salvation, and how a sovereign God interacts with a fallen world. Asking hard questions doesn't mean you lack faith—it’s often the exact path to building a deeper, more rooted relationship with Jesus. In this message, Pastor...

When God Doesn’t Answer Your Prayer | That’s a Good Question | Pastor Brandon Woodard
We’ve all had moments where we bowed our heads, poured out our hearts, and wondered: Is God actually listening? Or maybe you’ve wrestled with the silence after a desperate plea for pain relief, wondering how to trust Him with tomorrow when today feels unanswered. Asking hard questions about…

Grounded | On a Mission | Pastor John Rogers
Storms have a way of revealing what we are really standing on. It is easy to talk about trust when the waters are calm, the plan makes sense, and the ship still looks strong. But what happens when the wind will not stop, the structure starts breaking, and every visible reason for hope disappears?...
-
Stand Firm in the Faith | On a Mission | Pastor John Rogers
Courage is easy to talk about until obedience starts costing us something. It is one thing to follow Jesus when the road is clear, the crowd is supportive, and the outcome feels safe. It is another thing to keep walking when obedience leads into misunderstanding, opposition, false accusation, and...
-
Real Power | On a Mission | Pastor Brandon Woodard
Not everything that uses the name of Jesus actually belongs to Jesus. There is a difference between authentic faith and counterfeit faith. One surrenders to the power of God; the other tries to use the power of God. One is transformed by Jesus; the other borrows His name for personal gain,...
-
The Unknown God | On a Mission | Pastor Brandon Woodard
We live in a world that is constantly searching. Searching for meaning. Searching for identity. Searching for truth. Searching for something solid enough to build a life on. And even though our culture may not use the word “idols” very often, we are surrounded by them. Success. Comfort.…

Lukewarm Faith Isn't Faith | Dear Church | Pastor Brandon Woodard
The most dangerous place spiritually is not always open rebellion. Sometimes it is comfort. It is knowing just enough about Jesus to feel secure while living as if we do not really need Him. It is having enough resources, success, routine, and religion to convince ourselves that everything is...
-
Stay Faithful in the Storm | Dear Church | Pastor Brandon Woodard
Faithfulness is not measured by how strong you feel. It is revealed by what you do when your strength is running low. We often assume God can only use us when we feel confident, capable, and fully prepared. But some of the greatest acts of faith happen when we have little strength left and choose...
-
Making a Difference in FXBG and the Philippines
Join us for an update from the Brazilian soccer missionaries and our missionary to The Philippines, Pastor Kelly, and see how God is moving and changing lives. Next Steps: ► New to New Post? We’d love to connect with you: https://www.newpost.church/contact-10 ► Need Prayer? If you’re ready to…

WAKE UP | Dear Church | Pastor Brandon Woodard
It is possible to look alive and still be asleep. We can have activity without intimacy, reputation without renewal, and motion without a heart that is truly surrendered to Jesus. From the outside, everything can appear fine. The calendar is full. The language sounds right. The habits are…
more -
Kill The Hippo | Dear Church | Pastor Brandon Woodard
Not everything called love is actually loving. Sometimes what sounds like grace is really permission to stay stuck. Sometimes what looks like patience is actually passivity. And sometimes the most loving thing Jesus can do is confront what is quietly destroying us before it has the final word. In...
-
You Can Only Have ONE King | Dear Church | Pastor Brandon Woodard
It is possible to hold on to Jesus and still let the wrong things take root. Sometimes compromise does not walk through the front door with a warning label. It slips in quietly. A little addition here. A little exception there. A version of faith that still uses the name of Jesus, but slowly…
more -
Trust Jesus in the Pain | Dear Church | Pastor Brandon Woodard
Not every hard season means something has gone wrong. Sometimes the pain we are walking through is not proof that God has left us; it is the place where we discover He has been closer than we realized. We often measure blessing by comfort, resources, ease, and escape. But Jesus measures...
-
Truth AND Grace | Dear Church | Pastor Brandon Woodard
It is possible to be right and still be distant. We can know the truth, defend the truth, work hard for the truth, and still slowly drift away from the love that made the truth beautiful in the first place. That is the danger of religion without relationship. It can look faithful on the outside...
-
Kill the Flirting | The Book of Judges | Pastor John Rogers
Not every fall happens all at once. Sometimes destruction doesn’t look like jumping off a cliff; it looks like drifting one inch at a time. One compromise. One excuse. One secret. One line we said we would never cross, but kept walking up to until it stopped feeling dangerous. We tell ourselves…
more -
Kill the Contract | The Book of Judges | Pastor John Rogers
Faith can slowly turn into a contract without us even realizing it. We start with trust, but somewhere along the way, we begin negotiating. “God, if You get me through this, I’ll finally change.” “If You fix this situation, I’ll start taking You seriously.” “If You bless me, protect me, heal me…
more -
Kill the Passivity | The Book of Judges | Pastor John Rogers
The moments that change our lives don’t always announce themselves with flashing lights. Sometimes they look like a conversation we don’t want to have, a step we’ve been delaying, a calling we keep explaining away, or an opportunity that requires more courage than we feel like we have. Most of us...
-
Tear It Down | The Book of Judges | Pastor Brandon Woodard
The messiest parts of our lives aren’t always the things we’ve done; sometimes, they are the things we’ve inherited. We like to think we’re self-made, but the truth is, most of us are carrying a "backpack" we didn’t choose. We inherited patterns of conflict, reflexes with money, and ways of…
more -
The Hall of Faith | Moses | Pastor Brandon
We’ve all done it. We’ve all had that moment where we talked ourselves out of a move we knew God was asking us to make. We run through the mental list: I’m not the right person, I don’t have the skill set, I don’t have enough money, my background is too messy. We treat God’s call like a job...
-
Hall of Faith | Joseph | Pastor Brandon Woodard
What do you do when life isn't going the way it's supposed to — when you did the right thing and got punished for it, when you trusted God and got silence? Most of us start making decisions based on what we feel instead of what we believe. The bitterness creeps back in. The prayers get shorter.…
more -
Hall of Faith | Jacob | Pastor Brandon
What if the name you've been carrying isn't actually yours? Most of us are still answering to a name somebody else gave us — a parent, an ex, a coach, a voice from when we were nine years old. And we've been living up to it ever since. In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through the story of...
-
Hall of Faith | Isaac | Pastor Brandon Woodard
What if the most important thing you leave behind has nothing to do with money? Most of us are working hard to build something for the people we love — but we rarely stop to ask: what are they actually learning from watching us build it? Whether you know it or not, they're taking notes. In this...
-
Hall of Faith | Noah | Pastor Brandon Woodard
What if the reason God keeps telling you to do something isn't to restrict you — but to protect you from something you can't see yet? Most of us wait until the storm arrives before we start paying attention. By then, it's too late. In this message, Pastor Brandon looks at Noah's story and asks a...
-
Hall of Faith | Abraham | Pastor Brandon
Trust is the currency of any relationship, but when it comes to God, we often find ourselves bankrupt. We throw the word "faith" around in church until we’ve domesticated it—making it feel safe, predictable, and internal. But real faith isn't a feeling; it’s a movement. It’s acting like something...
-
Easter 2026 | It Is Finished | Pastor Brandon
The messiest parts of your life aren’t a sign that God has disqualified you; they are the reason He came for you. We’ve all had those moments where we felt "not good enough" to show up—trying to do the mental math of how much we need to clean up before we can get serious about God. We stay stuck…
more -
Worship is War: Amazing Grace | Pastor John Rogers
What if grace isn't tame or polite, but powerful enough to break chains, change hearts, and carry us home? We often treat "Amazing Grace" like a soft lullaby, but for the believer, it is a fierce declaration of war against the darkness of our past and the hopelessness of our present. Grace isn't…
more -
Worship is War: Hard Fought Hallelujah | Brandon Woodard
The hardest day of your life isn’t a sign that God has left you, it’s an invitation to prove that He is still Sovereign. We’ve all had those moments where we did everything "right" but ended up in a "wrong" place. We checked the boxes, we stayed faithful, and yet we found ourselves in the inner...
-
Worship Is War: Trust In God | Pastor Brandon Woodard
The hardest place to be isn’t always the battlefield—sometimes, it’s the waiting room. We’ve all been there: waiting for the medical results, waiting for the breakthrough in a relationship, or waiting for a prayer that feels like it’s been stuck in "processing" for years. In these seasons, the...
-
Worship Is War: The Goodness of God | Pastor Brandon Woodard
The greatest threat to your faith isn’t usually the storm; it’s the sunshine. We’ve all had those seasons where everything just clicks—the kids are great, the job is solid, and the marriage is thriving. But as a culture, we are wired to "call on God" only when the 911 sirens are wailing. When…
more -
How To Be A Godly Husband | This Is Us | Brandon Woodard
Most of us don't set out to have a marriage that's a "dumpster fire," yet we often default to a contract—asking "what can I get?"—rather than a covenant—asking "what can I give?" In part two of our series, This Is Us, Brandon Woodard challenges the men of New Post Church to stop behaving like the...
-
How To Be a Godly Wife | This Is Us | Brandon Woodard
Marriages don't usually explode; they drift. We see two people who love each other slowly slip away because the "gravitational pull" of their home is centered on the wrong thing. Whether it’s the kids, the career, or even each other, if Jesus isn’t at the center, the gravity is off. In part one…

The Journey: Part 5 | It's Not Yours
Are you a manager or an owner? In this message, Pastor Brandon Woodard continues "The Journey" series by tackling a topic that often makes us uncomfortable: Money. By looking at the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, we discover that as disciples of Jesus, we are called to be stewards of God's...
-
The Journey: Part 4 | Who is Your ONE?
What if the thing you’re most afraid to talk about is the thing someone you know desperately needs to hear? We talk about everything else—sports, politics, our jobs, and what we’re binge-watching on Netflix. But often, the one thing that has made the biggest difference in our lives—our faith—is…
more -
How to Make Wise Decisions (Not Just "Right" Ones)
Decisions, not intentions, determine your destination. We all have a "preferred version" of our lives—a vision of where we want to be in five years regarding our faith, our families, our finances, and our fitness. But there is often a massive gap between the life we want and the life we are...
-
The Journey: Part 3 | Serve
We all love the idea of being a servant, but most of us struggle with the reality of being treated like one. In Part 3 of our series, The Journey, Pastor Brandon Woodard gets honest about the one marker of a disciple that challenges us the most: Serving Others. It’s easy to surrender when it…

Finding Real Joy
In this Christmas Eve message, we dive into the real story of the first Christmas to discover where true joy and peace come from. We often try to "manufacture" our own happiness through gifts, dinners, and perfect traditions, only to find that the excitement fades by 9:30 AM on Christmas morning....
-
A Growing Faith
Your faith is a garden—it doesn’t grow on its own. You can’t just scatter seeds, walk away, and expect a harvest of peace, purpose, and strength three months later. If you want the fruit of a thriving spiritual life, you have to be intentional about the work. +3 In this message, we dive into the...
-
The Journey | From Belief to Surrender
What if following Jesus is not about adding Him to your life, but laying your whole life down? In this message, we open Mark 2:13–17 and meet Jesus at a tax booth, not in a synagogue or a miracle moment. We watch as Matthew leaves everything behind when Jesus simply says, “Follow Me.” No...
-
Pain You Didn’t Expect This Christmas | ’Tis The Season… (John 11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18)
Christmas is supposed to be joyful. But for many, this season carries pain no one sees. - An empty seat at the table. - A name you wish you could still text. - A loss that feels heavier during the holidays than any other time of year. In this message, we look at a story we often miss as a story…
more -
Do I Really Need Jesus?
You hear church goers say "you need Jesus" all the time. But have you stopped to ask why? Pastor Brandon works through why the most important question we will ever ask in life is "who is Jesus to me?"
-
The One Thing You're Missing This Christmas | Tis The Season...(Luke 10:38-42)
You're not busy—you're OVERWHELMED. 🤯 The holiday season promised joy, but all you've got is a slammed schedule, maxed-out credit cards, and a deep, nagging feeling of exhaustion. We've bought the lie that "busy equals productive," but it’s actually costing you the most important things in your...
-
Why You Should Honor Your Parents | Pastor Brandon
You're trying to figure out relationships—how to love your spouse, how to raise your kids... But what about the ones who raised you? This week, we're wrapping up our series by hitting one of the hardest, most fundamental commands God ever gave us: Honor your father and your mother. This isn't…

How Do I Raise Good Kids? | Pastor Brandon Woodard
Ever wonder how to raise good kids? Sure you have, it's something we all want but few of us know how to get there. Today Pastor Brandon dives into what the Bible has to say about raising children.
-
What Is Family? | Pastor Brandon Woodard | Family According to the Bible
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” — Joshua 24:15 Family was God’s idea — not the world’s. It’s not about comfort. It’s not about convenience. It’s about calling. In this message, Pastor Brandon Woodard tears down cultural lies about family and rebuilds it on the truth of God’s…
more -
How Do I Become a Better Spouse?
Marriage is beautiful… and marriage is brutal. It can build you up and it can break you down. But God never designed marriage to be something you simply survive — He designed it to help you grow, reflect His love, and become more like Jesus. In this message, Pastor Brandon unpacks God’s original...
-
Jonah: When Grace Makes You Mad | Pastor Brandon Woodard
What do you do when God shows grace to someone you don’t think deserves it? In this message from Jonah chapter 4, Pastor Brandon Woodard unpacks the tension between God’s mercy and our anger — and how grace can both heal and expose what’s really going on in our hearts. Jonah preached, revival…
more -
Jonah: The God of Second Chances | Pastor Brandon Woodard
We’ve all wanted a re-do — a second chance at something we got wrong. Whether it was college, a relationship, a season of life, or a moment of failure — the good news is that God specializes in second chances. In this message from Jonah chapter 3, Pastor Brandon Woodard walks through how Jonah…
