NCF Sunday Talks

Teen Challenge, and their leader Phil Hills, joined us for our Morning Service. We hear three wonderful testimonies of how Jesus transformed lives (from 00:00, from 05:05 and from 08:06 ) and then Phil challenges us to follow God wholeheartedly by relating the story of Joseph (from 13:53).

There are many different types of partnerships. We look at how God partnered with many people in the Bible and how He wants to partner with us. This is not a Mission Impossible, but one that is Mission Possible because of who God is and how He enables us to work and live wholeheartedly for Him.

We all have ‘wow moments’ in our lives, but they are mundane when considered to knowing God. He knows us through and through, as well as the large things in creation. Recounting six episodes from the Bible, we are shown a little about how God is glorious. We’re invited to have a living relationship with God – that is certainly a WOW, but the consequences are both joyous and serious. We are not cal...

“If we would bring back spiritual power to our lives, we must begin to think of God more nearly as He is." ( A.W.Tozer)In this Talk we discover more about the What, Why and How of God’s faithfulness. Using a good number of Biblical references, we are reminded that our response is to give thanks in amazement of His faithfulness.

God’s love is a mystery! Using Ephesians 3:14-19, we are reminded about the breadth, length, height and depth of God’s love to us. How do we love Him in return?

In this Talk we are reminded that God's jealousy is very different from envy that we might feel. An historical context is given to help us see What is God's jealousy, Why would God want to be jealous and How do we respond to His jealousy? We are challenged in that God is jealous for us, so we should be jealous for Him and His business.

Creativity is one of God’s most common genes on earth. Mankind is creative in many ways, but not to the extent that God is! We look at several examples, both in large ways and small. We are then encouraged to allow God to be creative through us as we pray and work for Him. The first couple of minutes of the Talk are missing due to a recording error. It might be useful to look at the notes for this...

In this Talk we hear about the relevance of God being omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent.

We are reminded that silence is not golden. God speaks to us in different ways, but we need to spend time tuning into Him and away from background interference. The greatest obstacle to hearing God is ourselves. Use the notes from this Talk so you can see the slides that are being discussed.

In this Talk we are reminded what holiness is. We then hear in what respects God is holy and what that attribute demands in our own lives.

"Worship must be more than flattery and more than guesswork. It is the loving homage of the committed to the revealed." (Derek Kidner)This Series of Talks were planned to help us seek to worship God differently by discovering more about His many facets and attributes. In this particular Talk, we consider how God being Ineffable (too great for description in words) can impact us. As we se...
