For Unto Us: A Child Is Born

This week kicks off our brand new message series, "For Unto Us." Paster Ken delivers a great message of hope and presents the gospel in a fresh and real way. The greatest gift that mankind has ever received came in an unexpected package--a small child in Bethlehem's manger. Stay tuned for the rest of the series to hear just how wonderful this gift is!

From This Day Forward: Wrap Up

Pastor Ken closes this series with another fantastic message on the importance of creating marriages that last. Our example to the world around us will hinge on how well we handle this most important relationship. Our marriage is a battlefield that needs protection, power, and perseverance!

From This Day Forward: Never Give Up

This week's touching message was brought in part by Gary and Carol Arthington, a couple in our church who shares their personal story of trial that put them on the brink of divorce. With God's help they were able to pull through and learn to develop a thriving marriage. Pastor Ken then urges us from the Word to never give up, leaning on Jesus' example of forgiveness as the ultimate standard for our relationships.

From This Day Forward: Stay Pure

For this week's message. Teaching Pastor Jim Buckley and his wife, Glenda, gave a joint talk on physical intimacy in marriage. It is vital for a thriving marriage to have a healthy sex life and in this message Jim and Glenda provide great insights as to how to keep it alive.

From This Day Forward: Have Fun

Every marriage could use a healthy dose of FUN! Part of the recipe for a healthy and thriving marriage is to continue to do what you did at first--those things that won your wife or husband over from day one will will keep your marriage fun thousands of days into the future. Listen in as Pastor Ken helps us keep things interesting!

From This Day Forward: Fight Fair

Week two of our new message series, From This Day Forward, Pastor Ken brings to us a serious topic in a light way while urging us as couples to fight fair. Being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry is the key to making the relationship win in any argument.

From This Day Forward: Seek God

Beginning a brand new message series on marriage, Pastor Ken opens up this topic by laying out the very foundation of marriage itself--that God is the one who joins us together. Because of that, seeking Him is the best way to keep our marriages alive and strong. As each person commits to growing in their own relationship with the Lord the marriage gains depth, greater purpose, and fulfillment than ever. 

50th Anniversary JUBILEE!

This Sunday marks the 50th anniversary of Newbury Park First Christian Church! On this very special occasion Pastor Ken and Pastor Jim speak on the history and the faithfulness of the many generations that had made huge leaps of faith to allow this church to be at the point it is today. But over and above any individual's faithfulness, God has been the most faithful--guiding, challenging, leading, and growing His church for His glory. We are humbled and honored to be a part of His great story! Thank you Jesus!

Worldview (Ken)

The lenses through which we view the world define every decision, emotion, and activity we participate in. This is why it is so important as a believer in Christ to develop a Christ-centered worldview. In this message Pastor Ken urges us to use the Bible as the definitive answer for truth and our ruler for which to measure our experiences and philosophies.
