God At Work!

Dear New Life!

Greetings in the wonderful Name of Jesus! Just a short note to remind everyone…Jesus really loves you! One way to see His love in action is to be aware of the many “preaching posts” He is opening up around our community. As you know, the “Cafe Ministry” in downtown Haverhill continues each Sunday Morning. Additionally, we welcome to the city, “Just Church” which presently meets above the A-1 Deli on Merrimack St, and “Renaissance Church”, meeting at Northpoint Bible College, a church plant of Community Christian Fellowship. These two churches join “Goshen Church”, meeting at Haverhill Methodist Church, and “Highrock Church“ that meets at First Baptist Church, as being the newest additions of churches in town. God is moving in our midst! Please keep these new “preaching posts” in your prayers as we see the Kingdom of God advance in the Haverhill area. These, in addition to several other Bible believing churches and para-church ministries, ie Leaving The Streets, Common Ground, Somebody Cares New England, Salvation Army, New Brothers Fellowship and Pregnancy Care Center, are making a real difference. God is doing a good thing here!

“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe on Him would not perish but would have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

All For Jesus!

Community Prayer

Calling Christians!

There are many effective ministries throughout Haverhill. Included are those involved in the various street ministries, gang related ministries, and ministries to the homeless in our area. It would be a major accomplishment if the leaders and workers of these ministries, along with area pastors and church leaders, would unite in a time of prayer each month. This is an appeal to all Christians, all ministers, all Christian workers, all proponents of the Gospel, and proponents of revival, to take an hour of your time this Thursday, and actually join others of like faith and purpose and call upon the Name of the Lord. No coffee, norefreshments, no preaching and no designated time of fellowship. 

Just prayer.

Will YOU join us?

UNITED NIGHT OF PRAYER


Date: Thursday Feb 21, 7-8pm


Location: New Life Christian Assembly of God
966 Main St Haverhill, Ma

"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land."  2 Chronicles 7:14

Happy Thanksgiving!

/

Dear NLC!

Greetings in the wonderful and powerful Name of All Names...JESUS!  We write to you today to wish each of you a most Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. It is true that we must be thankful always, but there's something so very special about this season in America which has been set aside to give thanks to the ONE that has blessed us so abundantly. We join millions of people in doing so, especially those within the living Body of Christ, as we narrow down our thanks to the one true Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.


Scripture is replete with admonitions to give thanks to Almighty God, too many to mention, but a few quickly come to mind:


2 Chronicles 5:13 "The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the Lord with these words: 'He is good! His faithful love endures forever!' At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord."  


Psalm 9:1 "I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done." 

Psalm 28:7 "The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving."


Colossians 3:15 "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." 

Colossians 3:16-17  "Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father."


1 Thessalonians 5:18 "Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus"


Hebrews 12:28-29 "Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire."


As you gather around your table this Thanksgivng Day, perhaps the Lord will tap on your shoulder and nudge you to be the one that will in some significant way, bring the conversation around to Him...His goodness, His grace, His provision, His sovereignty. Let Him use you to bring Him to the forefront.

We send our love and thanks to God...for you. YOU are a special part of the Body of Christ here in New England, and  we embrace you and pray God's best over you and your loved ones. We are very grateful that you are a part of the Body of Christ here at NLC.


Have a great day...and be thankful!

WithThankful Hearts,

Pastor Rick and Pamela

"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever."

Nov 5, 2018 Face Book Post

“There’s always this nagging feeling for roots, for connection. It’s inborn I believe. I go back to my childhood memories, to people and to places. And, it’s all good. Yet, it goes deeper, “what could have been” or “what could have been better, or different?” Glad to feel a peace that all my longings for connectedness and roots are satisfied through my relationship with Jesus Christ. Actually, these feelings are a longing for things that will only be realized once I’m on “the other side.” Life here is a shadow of what will come. In the meantime I am so thankful for my life experiences w many family members; friends, old and new; and such diverse places where I’ve lived. God is good; grateful He loves me and keeps me! “

Dear NLC,

Greetings in Jesus' Name! In case you haven't heard, or have not been affected, Haverhill has been hit very hard by the recent winter storm, named "Quinn." Co-incidentally, this is Pamela's maiden name! In any case, our area has no power. As such, Thursdays' meetings and services were canceled, as will be Saturdays' Mens Breakfast and Worship Team rehearsal. We are awaiting word as to the progress of repairing the damage before determining what to do about Sunday, although we are leaning on opening the church regardless. We will keep you notified via email and Facebook.

If there are any needs that we can possible help with, please do let us know. Personally, the parsonage and rental property next door (Amendola's and Johnson's) have limited electricity via generators. This seems to be working ok, as we utilize them intermittently, conserving the gas. If anyone is in desperate conditions, please contact us.  Although we also are limited in resources, we may be able to help in some way. 

One thing is for sure, we still have the Power of the Holy Spirit!! Please stay strong in spirit during this time. Now is the time to trust Jesus and to be a light of hope to our families, friends and neighbors. Please do pray for our community...for all resources to be restored, but more importantly, for hearts to turn to Jesus.

God bless you! Right now we figured out how to use our "hotspot" on the iphone to connect the laptop to the internet.  Seems to be working!

 

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10

Stay tuned!!

All For Jesus,

Pastor Rick and Pamela

Precious Blood

/

NLC email, 2/8/18

Hi NLC!

Last Sunday was a real special day in the House of the Lord. So appreciative of all that made the effort to be there, and to pursue the Lord during worship, during prayer, and during the preaching of the Word. 

I wanted to take a moment to share a few thoughts with you that were not included in the outline presented on the screen on Sunday. I will conclude with the final three points of the sermon, 

What The Precious Blood of Jesus Does For Us Today.

First... Many classic hymns proclaim the great truths of the Blood of Jesus:

There Is Power In The Blood, Nothing But The Blood, Are You Washed In The Blood, There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood, The Blood Shall never Loose It's Power, The OId Rugged Cross, At The Cross. (do you know them??)

Second...What the Bible tells us  about the Blood of Jesus:

~Matthew 27:4... it is innocent

~1 John 1:7... it is cleansing

~Revelation 12:11... it is conquering

~1 Peter 1:19...it is precious! 

Third...The Bible tells us the Blood of Jesus is the basis for:

~our reconciliation with God...Ephesians 2:13

~our redemption...Romans 3:24

~our justification...Romans 5:9

~our sanctification...Hebrews 10:29

~our communion with the Lord...Matthew 26:26-29

~our victory...Revelation 12:11

~our eternal life..John 6:53

These are wonderful scriptures that will most definitely minister to your spirit as you ponder and meditate upon them. Let them become food for your soul!!

What The Precious Blood of Jesus Does For Us Today..the three major points of the sermon:

1. The Blood of Jesus Empowers Us!

Empowers us to defeat Satan!

~Revelation 12:11a "And they overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony..."  

~Romans 6:6 "our old man was crucified with Him (Jesus) that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin"

2. The Blood of Jesus Purges Us!

Purges us from sin, guilt, and the "old man"

~Hebrews 11:14 "how much more shall the Blood of Jesus Christ..cleanse (purge) your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

~1 Corinthians 6:11 (paraphrase) "You...who were lost and entrenched in sin and despair; you...who were sexually deviant and ungodly; you...who were drunkards, revilers, extortioners, etc...were washed, were sanctified, were justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus (by His blood!) and by the Spirit of our God"

~1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the Light as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."

3. The Blood of Jesus Frees Us!

Freed, bought, and delivered, to be who we are supposed to be in Christ!

~Acts 20:28 (re the church of God) "...which He purchased with His own blood"

~Romans 5:8 "while still sinners, Christ died for us"

~John 3:16-17 "God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever would believe in would not perish but would have everlasting life. For the Son of God did not come into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him, might be saved."  

~1 Timothy/Mark 10:45 Jesus is "a ransom" for us

Precious Blood

Isaiah 53:12b "And He was numbered with the trangressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

Enjoy your power, your purging and cleansing, and your freedom found only as you walk with Jesus! He most assuredly has good things in store for you. Looking forward to a great month as we run after the Lord. Come to church ready to bless Him, bless someone else, and receive a special touch from the Holy Spirit. Remember, Sunday morning services begin on Saturday night, as we prepare our hearts for the first day of the week!

See YOU then!

All For Jesus,

Pastor Rick

"Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God." 1 Peter 1:18-19 The Message

Snow!

NLC Email 1/4/18

 

Dear NLC,

Wow...is it snowing out there! Over a foot expected before it ends later tonight. Praying the Lord's blessing and protection over all as we work our way through to Sunday. Please let us know if we can be of any help during this time.

Below is our favorite snow song, entitled "Winter Snow" by Audrey Assad. Give a listen, and reflect on Jesus' coming in such an unassuming way, with such a great task a head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpHiAmL8-b0&feature=youtu.be

Stay safe, and don't take any unnecessary risks in this cold and snowy weather! Perhaps it is just a golden opportunity for each of us to be still, to listen to the Lord, to think and to be thankful. That's where I'm headed....to a place of serenity. As I look out my window, I see a lot of snow, and very few cars on Main St ! That, in and of itself, is very peaceful to me!

God bless you all...

In Jesus' love,

Pastor Rick and Pamela

"Come now, let us argue this out," says the Lord. "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool." Isaiah 1:18 NLT
