A Better Prophet: Jeremiah was a type of Christ in that he underwent a death and resurrection when he was thrown into a pit and brought out. He was a Prophet of sorrow and acquainted with grief. Jesus is the Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief who was thrown into the pit of God’s wrath and then brought out in the resurrection. As was true of Joseph and Isaiah before Him, the principle of sufferings and glory surround the stories of this prophet.

From Genesis to Revelation, God’s plan has always been to draw His people near through a priesthood rooted in holiness, service, and sacrifice. In this message, Pastor Tonderai unpacks how humanity was first created to be priests—cultivating and guarding intimacy with God—and how that calling was distorted by sin.

But Jesus came as the True and Better Priest, not through human lineage or legal requirement, but by the power of an indestructible life. His priesthood fulfilled everything the old covenant could not, restoring access to God and reversing what Adam lost.

What made David “a man after God’s own heart”? How does this ancient king help us understand the kind of King we actually need? In this message, Pastor Casey Bush invites us to take a deeper look at
the stories we think we know—and the questions we might not be asking. We’re going to look at how David’s rise, failures, and faith are point us to something more, the true and better.

We all know what it’s like to need a mediator—someone to step in when things are broken, stuck, or unbalanced. The Bible tells us that Jesus is not just any mediator; He is the better Mediator of a new covenant.

In this message, we’ll trace Israel’s story at Mount Sinai, where fear, fire, and failure kept people distant from God. Then we’ll see how, through Jesus, we now come to Mount Zion—the city of the living God—where His blood speaks a better word than Abel’s.

Discover how Christ secures access, innocence, and favor for His people, and why His presence is the only thing that sets us apart in this world.

What if your story is tied to something greater than you imagined? This week, Pastor Ken Blount continues our True and Better series by diving into one of the most compelling lives in Scripture —Joseph. His dreams, betrayals, faithfulness, and eventual rise weren’t just moments in history… they were glimpses of something (or someone) greater to come. Could his story be a shadow of the Messiah? Could your story be part of something prophetic too?

Join us as we unpack what it means to have a God dream, walk through the waiting, and discover the beauty of Jesus as our true and better brother.

Every year at New Song, as backpacks get packed and lunch boxes come out, we pause. Before we send our students back to school, we gather to seek God’s presence and send the next generation on mission—covered in prayer, fueled by purpose, and rooted in the presence of Jesus.
