We need the Father | Michael Newton
3d ago00:25:58Tap to summarizeFather's Day is a celebration for some—but for many, it's complicated. In this deeply personal message, Pastor Michael Newton shares his own story of growing up with an absent father and an abusive stepfather, and how God slowly revealed that the answer wasn't to reject the idea of a father—but to discover the heart of a good Heavenly Father.Walking through Mark 10, the story of the rich young ruler, and Paul's encouragement to Timothy, this sermon reminds us that the gospel is not about striving harder, proving ourselves, or earning God's acceptance. Before Jesus challenged the rich young ruler, He looked at him and loved him. Before God changes us, He loves us.Whether you've wrestled with shame, fear, failure, or the feeling of never being enough, this message is an invitation to stop performing and start receiving the Father's love. Because sons and daughters don't earn their place in the family—they receive it through Jesus.Key Scriptures:Mark 10:17–272 Timothy 2:1Philippians 1:6No matter your story, your failures are not greater than God's faithfulness. The Father is not standing

3w ago00:29:19Tap to summarizeEcclesiastes | Under the SunLife is a gift. Life is brief. Life is meant to lead us to God.In this message from Ecclesiastes 11:7–12:8, we walk through Solomon's final appeal to enjoy God's gifts, remember our Creator, and live with eternity in view. As the years pass, our bodies change, our priorities shift, and we're reminded that life moves faster than we think. Yet in the face of aging, uncertainty, and even death, the gospel offers a hope that Ecclesiastes longs for and Jesus fulfills.The problem of Ecclesiastes is death. The answer of Ecclesiastes is Jesus.Join us as we discover how to live in the light before the night comes.Today's podcast is brought to you by Boise Community Church.

Living Faithfully in a Broken System | Michael Newton
May 2700:28:52Tap to summarizeEcclesiastes | Under the SunIn this week’s message from Ecclesiastes 8–9, Michael Newton walks through one of life’s hardest questions: What do you do when life doesn’t make sense? When injustice seems to win, prayers feel unanswered, and outcomes don’t match your faithfulness, Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is broken, unpredictable, and often beyond our control. But even in uncertainty, God remains trustworthy.This sermon explores how cynicism can quietly harden our hearts, why control can never truly give us peace, and how biblical faith is not certainty about outcomes—it’s trust in God’s character. Through the honesty of Solomon’s words and the hope of the gospel, we’re reminded that Jesus entered into our broken world, suffered injustice Himself, and conquered death through the resurrection.If you’re walking through disappointment, unanswered questions, grief, or uncertainty, this message is an invitation to stop anchoring your hope in circumstances and start anchoring it in a faithful Savior. Because even when life is unpredictable, Jesus is still King—and that changes everything.Today's podcast is brought to you by Boise Community Church.

Wisdom through Sorrow | Michael Newton
May 1700:38:44Tap to summarizeEcclesiastes | Under the SunThis week we continue our journey through Ecclesiastes with a powerful and honest message from Ecclesiastes 7: Wisdom is often forged in sorrow, not comfort.In a culture that constantly tells us to avoid pain, chase comfort, and stay positive, Solomon invites us into a deeper truth: some of the greatest formation in our lives happens through grief, disappointment, waiting, and hardship. Together we’ll explore how God meets us in suffering, how wisdom grows in difficult seasons, and how Jesus redeems even the broken places of our lives.Join us for worship, communion, and a reminder that even in the storm, God is still present, still working, and still bringing beauty from brokenness.Today's podcast is brought to you by Boise Community Church.

Mary's Yes | Michael Newton
May 1300:33:35Tap to summarizeMother's Day | Mary's YesThis week we gathered for a powerful Mother’s Day service centered around Luke 1v26–38 and Mary’s courageous yes to God. Through worship, prayer, communion, and the teaching of Pastor Michael Newton, we were reminded that God often interrupts ordinary lives with extraordinary purpose. Mary’s story challenged us to trust God even when we don’t understand the full picture, to embrace surrender even when it’s costly, and to believe that our obedience can impact generations to come. Whether you’re in a season of joy, grief, waiting, or uncertainty, this message is an invitation to make room for Jesus and say yes to whatever He is asking of you.

Trying Everyday | Michael Newton
Apr 3000:28:03Tap to summarizeA LIFE WORTH LIVING | TRYING EVERYDAYThis week, Michael Newton walks us through Matthew 14 and the story of Peter stepping out of the boat to meet Jesus on the water. It’s a message about the moments we hesitate—the quiet nudges we feel—and how often we talk ourselves out of trying before we ever take a step.What if the thing holding you back isn’t your ability… but your willingness?Through honest reflection, relatable stories, and a powerful invitation to trust, this sermon reminds us that faith doesn’t start with confidence—it starts with a step. You don’t need a perfect plan, guaranteed results, or even certainty. You just need to be willing to say, “I’ll try.”Whether it’s opening your Bible, praying out loud, reaching out to someone, or letting go of control, this message will challenge and encourage you to take your next step with Jesus.Because you’ll never walk on water… if you stay in the boat.Today's podcast is brought to you by Boise Community Church.

Sent Where You Stand | Michael Newton
Apr 2300:27:38Tap to summarizeA LIFE WORTH LIVING | SENT WHERE YOU STANDWhat do you do after the greatest victory in history?In Week 3 of A Life Worth Living, we step into Matthew 28 and explore a surprising truth—Jesus doesn’t celebrate the resurrection… He commissions His followers. Before giving them a mission, He declares His authority, inviting ordinary, imperfect people into an extraordinary purpose.This message is both personal and powerful—tracing the journey from being found by Jesus to being sent by Him. Through real-life story, honest reflection, and the words of Jesus Himself, we’re reminded that the mission isn’t just for the “ready”… it’s for the willing.You don’t need a plane ticket to live on mission. Your everyday life—your workplace, your relationships, your city—is the very place Jesus is sending you.Because a life worth living isn’t just about being saved…It’s about being sent.Today's podcast is brought to you by Boise Community Church.

People Need People | Michael Newton
Apr 1600:33:55Tap to summarizeA LIFE WORTH LIVING | PEOPLE NEED PEOPLEIn Week 2 of A Life Worth Living, Michael Newton explores a truth we often ignore: you can love Jesus, believe the right things, and still try to do life alone—but that’s not how we were designed to live.Looking at Hebrews 10:24–25, this message dives into the power and necessity of real, intentional community. From the loneliness epidemic affecting millions to the personal barriers that keep us isolated, this sermon challenges us to move beyond surface-level connection into relationships that truly transform us.Discover why community requires intention, how vulnerability unlocks encouragement, and what it means to both give and receive the kind of support that changes lives. Because at the end of the day, people need people—and the life you’re looking for might be found in the relationships right in front of you.Today's podcast is brought to you by Boise Community Church.
