New Song Church OKC
Hosted by Pastor Joshua Blount · EN
New Song Church Exists To Help People Know God. Many people today know about God, but they don’t know Him in the personal way He can and wants to be known. He feels distant and more like a historical figure than a close friend. At New Song we desire to connect real people with a real God, the real Jesus, and the real Holy Spirit in a way that creates real life change.

Jan 2800:45:26Tap to summarizeLuke 15:4 Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?Luke 15:8 Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?Luke 15:11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.In the storytelling world of first-century Judaism, repetition with variation was a way of signaling that something deeper was unfolding. — Tim KellerIn the cultural world of Jesus’ listeners, the most glaring absence in the story of the prodigal is not the missing son, it is the missing pursuit of the older brother. In a patriarchal household, the father did not chase shame. He bore it, but he did not run after it.That responsibility belonged to the eldest son. The older brother was meant to leave the house, seek out his sibling, restore the family’s honor, and mediate reconciliation. That was his role. That was his duty.Genesis 4:9 Am I my brother’s keeper?Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Pray Like Jesus - Why Prayer Feels Boring
Jan 1900:51:44Tap to summarizehttps://newsongpeople.com/messages/why-prayer-feels-boringMany of us want to pray—but we end up saying the same things over and over, often running out of words or energy. In this message, we look at how Jesus prayed the Scriptures, even in His final moments, and why the Psalms are God’s gift to shape, steady, and revive our prayer lives. If prayer has ever felt boring, forced, or empty, this message offers a simple, life-giving way forward: learning to pray the words God has already given.

Pray Like Jesus - The Secret Place
Jan 1200:47:37Tap to summarizehttps://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-secret-placeWhat if prayer was never meant to be a routine to manage, but a relationship to enjoy? What if the “secret place” Jesus talked about wasn’t a room, a time, or a formula—but the heart? In this message, Pastor Jackson unpacks how religion quietly steals the life, beauty, and depth from prayer, replacing communion with performance and presence with pressure. Through the life and prayer habits of Jesus, we’re invited to let go of myths that keep us distant from God and rediscover prayer as giving Him total access—anytime, anywhere, with or without words. Prayer isn’t a burden to carry, but a gift that leads us into deeper life with the Father, made possible through Jesus. Let's dive in.

Looking Unto Jesus - Union with Christ
Oct 500:50:41Tap to summarizehttps://newsongpeople.com/messages/union-with-christHey New Song Church! Grab your Bible and turn to Romans 6.We’re in Looking Unto Jesus, a series chasing one thing: Real change for real sinners — not polish, not performance, but transformation that reaches desire and identity.

Looking Unto Jesus - Despair
Sep 2900:50:05Tap to summarizehttps://newsongpeople.com/messages/despairWhy do “real sinners” like us so rarely experience real change? Could self-confidence be blinding you to your need? What if the doorway to joy actually runs through despair—seeing yourself as God sees you, then collapsing into mercy? In this powerful message, Pastor Jackson walks us through Deceived → Despairing → Delight without getting stuck in shame. He'll walk us through how Paul’s journey—from “I persecuted the church” to “I’m the foremost of sinners”—teaches us about humble joy and lasting transformation.

Hearing God - Hear & Obey
Sep 800:50:40Tap to summarizehttps://newsongpeople.com/messages/hear-obey📍 Message 5 in the “Hearing God” Series📖 Key Text: John 10:27 – “My sheep hear My voice…”Can you really hear God? And if you do… are you obeying?In this powerful conclusion to our Hearing God series, Pastor Josh Blount shares one of the most important truths about spiritual life: obedience is the key that unlocks clarity. If you want to hear God more clearly, you have to start by doing what He’s already said.From a plastic knife and a clogged bathroom sink to a church plant in Oklahoma City, this message is full of story, Scripture, and Spirit-led truth that will encourage you to trust, obey, and hear God in a fresh way.🎯 Big Idea: “God speaks to be obeyed—obedience keeps the conversation (and the blessing) going.”💬 What You’ll Learn in This Message: • Why obedience is the key to hearing God again. • How Jesus models what it means to live fully surrendered to the Father’s voice. • The biblical pattern that shows hearing God isn’t for the elite—it’s for every sheep who follows the Shepherd. • How God speaks uniquely to you based on how He designed you. • What to do when you’ve stopped hearing God (spoiler: go back to the last thing He said). • And yes… the legendary “hairball miracle.”🗝️ “Revelation without obedience eventually becomes silence.” – Tim Keller🗝️ “The man who hears God but does not obey will soon not hear Him at all.” – A.W. Tozer📌 Series Recap: • Week 1: God still speaks — and friends talk. • Week 2: Immerse yourself in the Word. • Week 3: The Holy Spirit speaks peace. • Week 4: Community helps you discern. • Week 5 (This Message): Obedience keeps you in the conversation.📖 Scriptures Referenced:John 10 · Genesis 2 · Exodus 19 · Isaiah 1 · Jeremiah 7 · Luke 11 · Matthew 7 · John 14 · James 1 · Revelation 3 · Philippians 2 · Hebrews 12 · Proverbs 3👂 Are you hearing… but not obeying?Whether it’s in your finances, relationships, forgiveness, or calling—obedience opens your ears. And if you want to keep hearing God… just keep saying yes.🛎️ Subscribe to New Song Church for more messages like this.👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔁 Share this with a friend who needs clarity.📍 Edmond, OK | 🌐 newsongpeople.com#HearingGod #Obedience #NewSongChurch #FaithInAction #John10 #VoiceOfGod #ChristianLiving #JesusSaves #HearingGodsVoice #SpiritLed #SermonSeries #ChurchOnline

Sep 200:49:54Tap to summarizehttps://newsongpeople.com/series/hearing-god"Hearing God" Series // Pastor TonderaiGod never designed us to hear His voice in isolation—He speaks in the context of community. From the Old Testament tabernacle, to Jesus dwelling among us, to the Spirit poured out in Acts, Scripture shows us a God who is deeply communal.
