As a leade...

Jesus now begins to call His twelve disciples. It is in the calling of the twelve that Matthew gives us some interesting insights into walking in our spiritual sweet spot in life. In this teaching, I will seek to get us all to understand that we are uniquely gifted by God and if we minister in those gifts, we will find fruitfulness. ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essential...

As Jesus steps out of the waters of baptism, He steps into the pressures of sinful temptation in the desert. Andy why? Because He has to be tempted in all points as we are. In this message, we will look at the methodologies the enemy uses to tempt Jesus to sin and implode His mission to save us. Friends, the tactics Satan used against Jesus are the same ones he uses against us. It is always t...

As we jump into the Gospel of Matthew we pick up with moment Jesus goes public by being baptized in water by John the Baptist. The specifics of this event are vital to authenticating who Jesus is as He embarks on His mission to save mankind from sin. All the major players show up proclaiming Jesus as THE Son of God. I would have loved to have been there. ——————————————————————————————— Gather...

In this final message in our series “The Truth about _____________” I will tackle some truths as it pertains to the end times. We all have questions about this topic, such as, “Are we living in the end times? What would the world look like in the end times?” This weekend I will answer some of those questions as we take a journey through scripture to see what it says about the last days before the...

The Holy Spirit was promised to us by Jesus, who said this gift be a Helper, and that Helper is still active today! However, there are a lot of misconceptions about the Holy Spirit, which makes some unsure if they should even desire it. Come hear what the Holy Spirit does and doesn't do according to the Word of God! ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials here for notes, pray...

We kick off the New Year with a short three-week series called, “The Truth About ____.” In this opening teaching, I will share why I believe in the Bible. I will take some of the common questions that doubters of the Word of God might throw at us, plus give you facts on why I believe the Bible is true. ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, event...

Everyone who has chosen to follow Jesus please remember a couple of things. God has a specific plan for you to carry out AND His plan for you is never boring bland or predictable. In this message year-end solo teaching we will look at God’s call in Joshua’s life after the passing of Moses. My hope is to motivate us all to seek God’s will for us.  ——————————————————————————————— Gather yo...

We finish our Christmas series examining something Mary did upon hearing the shepherd's report about an angelic visitation. It says she pondered all the things surrounding the birth of Jesus. Pondered is idea of putting all the pieces together like a puzzle. Now think, Jesus is now born and all the pieces come together in her mind. The same holds true for a person who chooses to follow Christ. Whe...

The Magi have found Jesus. They have been instructed by Herod that when they find the new King of the Jews, to inform him as to His location so that he may worship Jesus also. But of course, he is lying because he desires to assassinate Jesus. God speaks to the Magi in a dream to depart home by a different route. Now think, on the one hand, you have the instructional voice of Herod and on the...

As we follow the birth of Jesus and its effects on others we come to a peculiar yet applicable result. The Magi announce they are in town to find the One born King of the Jews. This upsets Herod because he considers himself the King of the Jews. Worlds are now colliding. Who will be king, Jesus or Herod? Friends, we might as well throw ourselves in that ring because at times we all battle Jesus ov...

The announcement of Jesus being born is still one of the greatest moments in human history, but what does it mean for us today? More importantly, what did it mean to the people hearing it for the first time? Sunday, come hear how this story we all know has an even deeper meaning and what it calls us to do! ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events...

We begin our Christmas series by looking at the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew chapter one. If you’ve read the genealogies you are probably thinking, how can you teach from them? Well, friends, there is plenty there to share, especially since it culminates with Jesus being born. I’ve titled this message, “The Real Empire Strikes Back” because Adam handed the world over to Satan when he sinned....

What does it mean to be truly generous? Is it giving money to the person on the street? Sponsoring that youth student to camp? Opening my home? What does it really mean? Come hear what a truly generous heart requires! ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc: https://nbcc.com/churchessentials Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc.co...

We begin a new two-week series on Generosity. And yes I know that for some believers, hearing the title means, you might just skip this one. And yet as Christians, we cannot escape the call to be generous people. It is actually part of our Spiritual DNA. So with that said, in this teaching, we are going to stroll with Moses in Exodus to see what a generous heart looks and acts like. ——————————————...

Paul the writer of Colossians finishes his letter with the mentioning of some of his friends. You can hear his heart and his feelings he has for these friends of his. One of the sadder things in life is to hear someone say, “I don’t need anyone.” That is absolutely not true. And it sure isn’t Biblical because God said in the beginning, “It’s not good for man to be alone.” And yes it was said about...

I imagine that everyone would love to live an effective life. What I mean is, we have a deep desire to positively influence family, people and culture by the way we live. I’ve had a number of what I call, “recallable moments” where someone impacted me greatly by their words. These recallable moments didn’t just shake me for a few seconds, it change the course of my life for years to come. And what...

We live in a day of “deconstruction.” Meaning, people change the meanings of words and institutions so that they no longer mean what they once meant. AND, so they can redefine and apply their new meaning to them. One such institution under attack is marriage. In today’s teaching Paul is going to take us into God’s meaning, which is the only meaning of marriage and family.  ———————————————————...

In the Olympics, we saw athletes do their best to beat their old records. They had a number in mind they wanted to get to because they knew if they could, they would be the best in the world. What about you? What are you looking at when it comes to your faith? Are you just trying to be better than someone else, or is there something more we should be doing? Find out what you truly should be lookin...

Paul the writer of Colossians now travels into the depths of what salvation in Christ means. And one of the bigger truths is, we are free. Now, before I was a Christian I really thought I was free. But after I came to Christ I realized I’m not free at all, I’m a slave. What kind of slave you ask? I realized I was a slave to sin and that sin was going to accomplish two things: First, destroy me and...

If you follow a exercise regiment, after a while you are looking and hoping for results. If you truly are sticking to your plan you begin to see tone in your muscles, or if you run, you notice your endurance is growing. And that excites and spurs you on to continue your discipline. Everyone loves positive results. As we continue in Colossians Paul now takes us down the road of results. H...

Have you ever had something say something about you that just wasn’t true. What I mean is they describe you to something, but it is not even close to who you are. You’ve been misrepresented. It happens to everyone and none of us like it. As we continue in Colossians, Paul is combatting false teachers who have infiltrated the local church. They are teaching blatant lies and lies lead people as...

I just returned from a checkup with the Doctor and she told me I was lacking something in my system. I asked her what kinds of foods do I need to eat to build that element up in me. She said, “Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt.” I laughed and said, “Doc, those are all a no. I don’t like any of them.” And of course that is why I’m lacking something. She gave me other alternatives like nuts and oatmeal. I sa...

We all know different situations determine different responses. When life is going well, and we feel safe, our reactions will reflect that. If we are in danger, however, our reactions may be more intense since the safety net has disappeared. In our political world, where life seems crazy, how can we react in a way that honors Jesus? ——————————————————————————————— Gather your church essentials her...

Our nation has become polarized when it comes to politics. A few people get down right angry if they are not agreed with. Four years ago we saw family’s experience separation by other family members over political choices. So what’s a person to do in such a potentially hostile landscape? Well, for the next two weeks we will attempt to show a better way of handling this, a Jesus way. Join us a...
