NCC Daily

I want you to remember three words today–call, respond, go.

Let’s trust or choose to trust again, even in the areas that seem to be marked with waiting or difficulty.

Jesus heals the things we want him to heal, the things others are looking at, and wondering if Jesus will heal. He also heals the things that no one can see. Jesus heals withered hands and hard hearts!

Jesus gives a clear calling for his disciples: Get in my presence – be sent out to preach – walk in my power. Presence – Preach – Power. I think the order is significant. 

I’d like to challenge you today to ask the Lord what spiritual practices you may have been weaponizing against yourself. Take that thing and ask the Lord to give you a renewed perspective of how to utilize that practice for growth in your walk with God. 

Fasting should be done out of devotion not just out of discipline. You can apply this principle to any religious act. It should be done out of love and not out of fear. It should be an “I get to” not and not just an “I have to”.

Today Pastor Ernest Clover teaches about Jesus' ministry to people.

Welcome back to NCC Daily. I’m Ashlei Brathwaite, and I serve over Family Ministries at our NoVA location. I’m excited to be with you again, as we begin to enjoy a summer of exploring Jesus using the Book of Mark. Today we’re going to kick off week 2 focusing on Mark 2:1-13.

Welcome to Week 2 of the Prayer Walk Challenge . I trust you are experiencing a new awareness as you are walking and praying and interacting in your context. What and who are you seeing? What are you noticing about yourself? How are you carrying yourself? Can I just remind you: You are a hope dealer, a blessing hurler, a kingdom bringer!

What a FIRST week we have had journeying through the first chapter of the book of Mark. There is something special that happens when we dedicate ourselves to the reading of the word and to prayer. And it’s happening.

Jesus is powerful and in control of everything in our lives, including our spiritual battles, and the demons that try to mess with us know Jesus and listen to his commands. If we are being completely honest the demons might listen to Jesus better than we do because they always recognize and always submit to His authority.  

How much more can we imitate Jesus by waiting on the Spirit’s infilling and empowerment? Jesus’ life invites us to hope in and depend on the Holy Spirit for God’s purposes even in what seems like the most mundane of moments.

Often times in church circles, you’ll hear that the most powerful words are the words in red. If you have that philosophy, then the way this book starts seems insignificant. But what the writer, John Mark, is telling his audience, is there is some significance to who else in history has foretold about the main character of his narrative. His audience is interested in Jesus, but John Mark understan...

This is Robb Schmidgall, NCC Online Pastor here at National Community Church and we are thrilled to be launching this new NCC Daily series.

We are diving into the book of Mark as we prayer walk our neighborhoods. While we believe God is omnipresent and everywhere all around us, we also believe that we have been equipped with and given a great Light to live out all around us.

Our transcendent God, to remind His people of the covenant He made, connects Himself in His very name to three flawed individuals. 

Today we are going to talk about God, our Redeemer.

Today, I’m going to share about the God of Second Chances.

This morning I am going to talk briefly about Jesus being the ultimate sacrifice and what that means for God's people navigating this world today.

It has been so amazing learning from everyone as they dig into the names and attributes of God. Today I will focus on the fact that Jesus was called a “friend of sinners”.

Today we focus on Immanuel, the name for Jesus that means, “God is with us.” I’m going to share an original song on this theme.

Today I just want to spend a few minutes talking to you about Jehovah Raab—the Lord is my Shepherd.

Today I will be sharing with you the meaning of El Olam, “The Everlasting God”.

Today we focus on a deeply revealing name of God, Jehovah M’kaddesh, the Lord Who Sanctifies.

I want to highlight three ways Jesus is the Lion of Judah in our lives today—in his Holiness, In Majesty, and as Conqueror.
