This month we are starting our new series on the Book of James and excited to learn from the half-brother of Jesus and leader of the Jerusalem church who wrote:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” James 1:5

Let’s continue to grow in Wisdom and Favor in this fall season. See you on Sunday!

20 years ago today, 16th July 2006, we had our first gathering in Newport Beach, CA, having left Sydney the day before with a one-way ticket to LA.

Our mission was to plant a church in Orange County. We had no guarantees of success, no safety net; we simply stepped out in faith with a small group of Bible college students & a vision to plant a church that would be a hub of hope & faith in Southern California & beyond. We left our family, house, church, and community, knowing that Jesus would honor His promise to all who left family, home, & lands for the sake of the Kingdom.

One of our team recommended a venue, 2601 PCH, Newport Beach, Dennis Rodman’s old nightclub, on the water with velvet-lined walls, large gilded mirrors & Corinthian pillars.

The week before leaving Australia, as we were singing “None but Jesus” at Hillsong Conference, knowing that Brooke Fraser who wrote the song was in LA recording an Album & coming to our first gathering, I texted her & asked if she would sing it as our first song& a declaration that our church would be all about Jesus!

As we drove to the venue, I wondered if anyone would come on a hot Southern California day at 6:00pm. We had no social media or smartphones to promote the gathering, but 103 people turned up!

We were hosting an information night to gather momentum before an official launch date but it didn’t work out the way we had planned, because as soon as Brooke started to play, everyone stood & began to worship. Our information night turned into a worship night! I shared a short message, Chris Caine made a salvation appeal, three people responded, and our church was born!

20 years later, we can reflect on all the lives that have been touched & changed by God’s grace as a result. We’ve had many seasons that we’ve weathered, & through every new season, God has been faithful to lead & make a way for us.

A huge thank you to all who helped us build—from the very first days of pioneering. We love and appreciate you greatly & pray that God will bless & reward you all.

And most of all, we are excited about what the next 20 years will usher in for us all!

Happy 20th Birthday, Newport Church!

New Summer Series starting this Sunday!

Solomon wrote, “Wisdom builds the House” in the book of Proverbs and then used the phrase “Under the Sun” 29 times in the book of Ecclesiastes.
If we are to have Wisdom that builds our House and Favor from God, we need to know how to navigate all that we encounter in our lives “Under the Sun.”

Solomon famously said, “There is nothing new under the Sun,” and in this series we are going to learn from those timeless and unchanging truths of God’s Word so that we can walk in Wisdom and Favor in 2026 “Under the Sun.”

This is going to be both an inspiring and enlightening series. Bring your family and friends.

Can’t wait to see you this Sunday!

Throughout the month of May we have been focusing on God’s ability and willingness to move in miraculous ways in our lives. There is something powerful about focus and when we focus on Jesus extraordinary things happen…

With the momentum of our focus in May let’s keep:

Doing what Jesus tells is to do in His Word
Exercising our Faith
Praying
Silencing the voice of unbelief and
Leveraging our faith for others

If you missed any part of the series you can catch up on our Newport Church YouTube Channel (link in bio)

A big thank you to all who sowed seed in our Miracle Offering! If you did not have an opportunity to contribute yet you can still do so on our website

It’s the first day of Miracle May tomorrow. We are believing God for miracles in our house our neighbors house and God’s house.

As we focus on God’s miraculous ability and willingness to answer our prayers however impossible our situation may be, let’s determine that we are going to focus on:

God’s Ability Rather than any Impossibility.
God’s Willingness rather than our Fears,
God’s Power rather than our Weakness,
knowing that our Focus on Jesus is the key to our Miracle!

Looking forward to continuing a series on Wisdom and Favor in the workplace.

One of the most important questions we need to ask ourselves in our work, vocation and calling is:

Am I working from a place of rest or am I always looking for rest from my place of work?

See you tomorrow at 10am

Let’s never underestimate the power of an invitation, it could just change trajectory of someone’s life and their eternal destiny!

The most powerful statement that Jesus made from the cross was, “It is finished!”

The Greek word for “finished,” is Tetelestai, meaning the work has been fully completed with ongoing effect, not partial, not temporary, but finished once and for all.

Because of that we are not striving to earn what has already been accomplished, we are living from what Jesus has already secured, forgiveness, freedom, and restoration, and this is why we call it Good Friday, not because of what happened to Jesus, but because of what He accomplished for us!

Join us tonight at 6.00pm for our Good Friday service online on Newport Church YouTube as we take time to remember, reflect, and honor the finished work of the cross.

01/17/2026

Our 21 days of prayer and fasting is underway and we are asking God to crown every area of your 2026 with his favor, grace and abundance!

Let’s believe together that God will do what He promises to do.
In His word, as we start the year putting Him first.

He is faithful to do what He promises to do!
