37s
“We are one with the father, the son, and the holy spirit, but we are not them. But we have what they have, and they have what we have. Man, what a bad exchange on their part. Amen. It's like when you get married. You know? Honey, I give you my life, and everything I have is yours, and everything that you have is yours too. And we just give it all away. Amen? And for those of you who aren't married yet, you will discover. Amen. It is just it's it's beautiful.”
35s
“when we got married, we had to then pay off her debts. But now her debts were my debts. It wasn't her debt. It was our debt. And when I got married to Jesus, my debt became his debt. And his life became my life. And you cannot mix us. No divorce. I'm I'm I'm I'm just gonna pay off the bill. We're gonna do it. Right? No divorce.”
37s
“but let patience have its perfect work that you might be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. I love this verse. But you gotta understand, how do I lack nothing? The lord wants me to live a life where I lack nothing. Coming to that place where I lack nothing. I learned to walk in faith instead of myself, in his abilities rather than my abilities. Live in union with Christ in the fire and the holy spirit. This is only done by faith. Believing we have what he says we have.”
32s
“People say, well, I'm giving God a tithe. Honey, I got news for you. When you got married to him, he he really has it all. And if you're not willing to say, what what are we doing with the what are we doing with our money? You might not have a right heart. You might be having a spirit of divorce with the Lord. This is my money. No. It ain't. We're one. We're mixed together. Lord, what do you want us to do with the money?”
21s
“"The whole lifestyle of faith is the Lord asking you to do things. And you just saying, yes, whether you feel the qualification or not, the problem is, is that too many times we're not hearing the Lord in the direction or we ignore the Lord because it's not in our comfort zone. And the Lord wants to push you outside of the comfort zone."”
22s
“"The sower sows the word right now, I'm a sower, I'm sowing the word. Pastor Eric sowed the word we're sowing. You read the Bible, you're sowing is being sown into your heart. You listen to a teaching is sowing into your soil of your heart. And he goes on. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. And when they hear Satan comes immediately, it takes away the word sown in their hearts."”
28s
“"The kingdom of God is if a man should scatter seed on the ground and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he is himself does not know how for the earth yields crop by itself. First, the blade, then the head. After that, the full grain in the head. But when the grain ripens immediately, he puts in the sickle because the harvest has come. I want you to understand that Jesus is saying this is how the kingdom of God works."”
27s
“"I remember when I first got saved and I read St. Corinthians 521. He made him who knew no sin to be sin for me, that I'd be the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I'm going, I'm not righteous. My past used to haunt me. And I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm not righteous. And I go, but God said I'm righteous. And I would fight for hours in my home and I would walk around and I'd quote righteousness scripture and then I'd walk around. So I'm a righteous man. I have righteous thoughts. I have righteous action."”
34s
“"If you're growing, if you're growing in the Lord, there's something in your life that the Lord is working on and you're growing in and that you don't have it all together yet. But when Jesus defeated, he did that for you. And so in your mind, you must understand this. You must grab onto this. If you don't get anything else out of anything I say today, this would be the thing I'd want you to go home with."”
22s
“"The kingdom of God works this way, and I want to teach you a little bit about seed and harvest and how the kingdom of God works, because literally what we're doing is we're we're participating with Pastor Eric as he said, yes, and as we sow seed, we're sowing seed into Pakistan. That means that we get the fruit. Third John tells us we become co-laborers with Christ as Christ is working through him."”

Why Newaygo churches are unique

Set along the Muskegon River and the edges of the Manistee National Forest, churches in Newaygo often weave the outdoors into their rhythms of worship and community life. You’ll find nature-informed practices and seasonal calendars that reflect local hunting, fishing, and trail seasons—river baptisms and outdoor services, creation care and conservation, and flexible schedules during hunting season.
As a small, close-knit city with many longtime families and growing young households, Newaygo churches tend to be highly relational and multi-generational. Ministries often center on family life, mentorship, and partnerships with local schools and youth sports—strong kids programs for young families, multi-generational congregations and mentors, and student ministry tied to schools.
Newaygo’s role as a regional hub within commuting distance of Grand Rapids, along with an influx of seasonal visitors drawn to the river and nearby lakes, creates a broad mix of worship styles for a rural community. This blend goes hand in hand with practical, collaborative service—blend of traditional and modern worship, food pantry and community meals, and recovery and support groups.
