You might be wondering, "Jim I know all about salvation." I'm sure you do but that does not nullify the fact that the Bible is loaded with salvation teaching and therefore should be taught. But the truth is, we all stumble in the basics not the deep things. SO, I'm going to take you through the basics of salvation so that we stay spiritual sharp. ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church...

We live in a fallen world and one of the realities of that world is, we have an enemy with a force of fallen angels. Because he is our enemy, he wants to kill steal and destroy as many parts of our lives as possible. In this teaching I will attempt to expose his tactics so that you hopefully can catch them in real time and avoid falling prey to them. ——————————————————————————————— Gather your chu...

One of the more consistent frustrations people run into is figuring out a method to reading and studying their Bible.

This message concludes our Advent series by challenging us to move beyond tradition and reflection into real-life application. Through the theme “Hearers & Doers,” we explore the birth and early life of Jesus and how Scripture calls us not just to hear God’s Word, but to live it out daily. As Advent ends and a new year begins, this message invites us to practice hope, peace, joy, love, and Chr...

As we now come to the actual birth of Christ, the Anointed One, we light the final candle of Advent. The White candle, signifying that He is the Light of the world and His light is the LIFE of all humanity. In our Christmas Eve service we will explore the meaning and significance of this. ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc: https://nbc...

This Advent message focuses on the true meaning of Love, not as a feeling we earn or perform, but as a gift God freely gives through Jesus Christ. Rooted in Luke 1 and 1 John 4, it reminds us that God’s holy sacrificial love came first, and because we have received that love, we are called to extend it to others. ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer,...

Luke tells us of the Angels visitation announcing the Arrival of Messiah and announcing the news of Great Joy. We have Joy in the Incarnation of the Son of God. The Psalmist said, “Those who sow in tears will reap Joy.” The Arrival of Jesus brings about the Joy of our salvation.  ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc: https://nbcc.co...

This week we explore the Advent promise of peace—not as the absence of conflict, but as the lived reality of God’s restoring presence. From Isaiah’s call of “Comfort, comfort my people” to the coming of Christ, the true Light who makes all things whole, we’ll consider how peace with God transforms our inner lives and empowers us to bring wholeness to the world around us. ——————————————————————————...

As we move into the Christmas season we begin a series called “Advent.” The arrival of the Christ child, the Messiah to planet earth. We are going to take a different approach this season as you shall see. Our first topic for our Advent series will be, “Hope.” We will look at the Hope of the coming Messiah through the lens of the prophet Isaiah. I hope you join us. ———————————————————————————————...

As we end this section of Matthew, we come to another of Jesus’ miracles. He delivers another demonized man. But as usual his envious enemies are not happy. In fact they begin to attack Him. Specifically character assassinate Him. Which brings up our theme for this Sunday; What do you do when your faith is attacked? I think we should do what Jesus did. And what did He do? Join us for this message...

One of the great experiences we have in Christ is, “We never know what tomorrow brings.” And yes, tomorrow can hold some unwanted bad turns in life. It is a fallen world. BUT in Christ we can have a hope that our Savior, the Creator of all things, has some good things for us in our tomorrow. He can change our circumstances in a moment for good. Today we look at people who experienced such a change...

Today, we examine the calling of a despised man called Matthew. He is a tax-collector, which means he is Jewish but working for the Romans. And so he is a hated man. AND THEN Jesus calls him to follow Him. That could be trouble in the ranks of Jewish disciples right there. But here is what I want to focus on today. This one man, Matthew, upon being called by Jesus to follow instantly, sets up a di...

One of the great qualities of our Savior Jesus Christ is His redeeming ability. He can take a broken throw away life like mine and turn it around and make it into something beautiful. I’m so thankful for that. Today we look at a man in the Gospel of Matthew that by all accounts is a throw away. Except that he has some friends who do everything needed to get him to Jesus. And when he encounters Jes...

Now we come to that moment when Light meets Darkness. The boat survived the storm and they land on the other side of the Sea only to be met by a demon possessed man.  I can only imagine the disciples thoughts, “Great, we survive a storm, we are soaking wet, we are exhausted, and now this?” It is in this interaction between Jesus and the demon inhabiting the man do we see what happens when “Li...

Jesus instructs His disciples to get in the boat and head to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. We all know a great storm arises on the lake and the disciples who are experienced fishermen are frightened out of their minds. The crazy thing is, Jesus is asleep in the storm. In this message I want us to see how Jesus being in the boat of our lives should impact our faith. I’ve titled it, “When Je...

Many people say they are willing to follow Jesus wherever He leads them, UNTIL they find out what He wants them to do. Today, we run into a couple of people who have great intentions in following Jesus. The first man finds out that following Jesus is not the easiest thing to do, and the second man has conditions he places ahead of surrendering His life to Christ. Join me today as we look at these...

As we enter back into the Gospel of Matthew, we now take on the Miracles in Matthew. This Sunday, we look at the healing of the Leper. In today’s teaching, which I titled “Jesus jumps into our mess,” I will explain the text, but in application, I will attempt to illustrate how this is a picture of the cross, death, and resurrection of Jesus. I hope you join me as we continue our two-year study thr...

Life was never meant to be done alone. Too often, we try to carry our struggles by ourselves, only to end up weary and discouraged. This Sunday, we’ll discover why  real transformation happens in Christ-centered community  and how God designed us to pray, grow, and walk through life together. Don’t miss this chance to take your next step toward meaningful relationships that can change yo...

We take a two-week detour from our Matthew series and jump into a series called “Belong.” As we begin, I will take you into the life of Nehemiah who comes back to Jerusalem to rebuild a wall that was in ruins and the gates burned with fire. He miraculously rally’s the troops. (Now that is a leader!) They all jump into and rebuild the wall in order to protect the people living in Jerusalem. Meaning...

Jesus now takes into how to build our lives and eternity correctly. Jesus gives us the great illustration of the two builders. One builds on rock and one on sand. In His magnificent illustration we see how to create a stable life. And we are talking having stability through the toughest seasons and storms of life…and ultimately building our lives on the Rock Jesus Christ which secures our eternity...

Today Jesus takes into territory that we must be aware of; False Prophets coming in to the church with false teaching. As a Bible teacher I am always on high alert to this because false teachers come in to lead the flock astray and away. As we continue through Matthew Jesus gives us specifics to recognize in order to avoid the false teaching of the false prophets. Now I will add that I am going to...

In this teaching, Jesus challenges us to do something we sometimes don’t want to do. Treat others the way we would like to be treated. This even includes those who might have not treated us the best. Everything about this can and does rub us wrong. But Jesus said it and we are supposed to live it. This Sunday we will take a look at this challenging truth from the Creator of the Universe.  ———...

There are times when people feel the frustration of not having their prayers answered. The question is usually Why? Jesus gives us an incredible invitation in Matthew 7:7-11: Ask, Seek, Knock. But what does He really mean by that? Join us this Sunday as we discover how these words can change the way we approach God and experience His presence. ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church ess...

In this message, we will look at one of the most misused sections of scripture of all time. "Do not judge lest you be judged."  As we jump back into the Gospel of Matthew, we will find out what Jesus truly meant. ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc: https://nbcc.com/church-essentials Connect with us on Social Media: Instagram: inst...

As we conclude our Summer of Psalms series we come to Psalm 73. It’s one of those Psalms that has an imbedded question that we all wrestle, “How come God?” I think we all have moments where we look at others and think, “How come they are blessed that way and not me?” And by the way it is okay to question God, He is a big boy. In this Psalm we jump into the mind of a choir director named Asaph who...
