As a follower of Christ whether we know it or not, whether we believe it or not, whether we’ve engage in it or not…we are in a war. And we are all soldiers. At least we are supposed to be. As we conclude The Letter to Ephesus, Paul gives us vivid physical imagery to help us understand and know how to engage a spiritual enemy. And thank God we have the weapons of warfare to fight an enemy we c...

We have been watching a cultural redefinition of marriage for many years now. But it doesn’t matter how many times a redefinition comes down the pike, we stick with God’s original definition, which is the only definition that is true and that matters. During this message, I tackle the problem of two specific redefinitions that either hinder or completely destroy what marriage was all about, as we...

In a world that tries to divide people, Paul calls us to be united in the church. That can be difficult, especially on a personal level. During this message, we are going to see how Scripture gives us practical ways to keep us united, and why it is so important, especially today.——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc.com/ Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorco Ins...

The Ideologies and ideas today that seek to unify us actually divide us. We live in a blind world with the blind leading the blind and that is not surprising since the Devil is also called the god of this world and we know that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. But what if God had the answer to a divided people? Well He does, and during this message we are going to...

I think everyone loves a story where someone rises up against all odds and changes their life for the better. In these cases it is the person who does it on their own with typically no mention of God in the mix. In Ephesians chapter 2 we are going to experience the spiritual Rags to Riches story we as followers of Christ have all experienced, and currently continue to experience because of God’s g...

We begin a new series based in the N.T. letter of Ephesians. It is a great letter that is broken in two pieces; the first half has to do with our calling and the second with our conduct as followers of Christ. Paul is the writer and in this opening teaching he has much to say about “Who we are in Christ.” To many people walk around wondering who they are. Gosh, too many Christians walk around...

Many people have a fear of death. We saw this when death came close to all of us during the pandemic. But death is an interesting inevitability since it seems to shut the door on existence…or does it? Could it be that there is more to life than what we are experiencing now? Jesus told Nicodemus that He descended from heaven to this earth. That tells us that there is another reality beyon...

The problem of evil in this world has plagued every last one of us. And the big question that one might face concerning evil is, “If God is all loving and powerful why doesn’t He do something about evil?” It is a great question that can definitely be answered. But just because there are answers to the question, doesn’t mean everyone will like or agree with the answers. This Sunday we will tackle t...

It’s fascinating to me that one of the things we really want to develop as a follower of Christ is a prayer life, yet some still have questions on how to pray. It is understandable that everyone needs to be educated on the dynamics of prayer especially since Jesus took time to teach His first followers how to pray. And since prayer is a vital part of a growing relationship with God, we will take t...

We begin a new series called “Honest Answers” with a topic I’m very much interested in, ANGER. I’m a person who carried his fair share of anger for years of my life and I have counseled and observed anger in many others. And many of the those others are Christians. Yes, that’s right, just because we are Christians doesn’t mean we are exempt from anger. So to kick off the new year we are...

The Generations team is hosting their annual “Generations Take Over”. We have our Kids Pastor Bri and Generations Pastor, Charlie Headley, sharing a message on "How Are We Investing?" As we get ready to end this year and get ready to go into the new year we want to make sure we are investing in what ultimately matters. ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc....

All-important arrivals carry with them much impact. I can think back to each of my six Grandchildren’s birth and the joy and impact they had on my and my wife’s life. One thing that happened was, there arrival impacted my home. I thought we were ready to get rid of things and streamline our lives. Well, that plan went out the window. The arrival of the Grandkids brought with it high chairs, baby w...

I do enjoy Sci-fi movies. Now some of my favorites are when aliens from somewhere in the universe attempt to invade the human race. But have you ever thought of Jesus as an invader of the human race? An invader that didn’t come to destroy us, like in the movies, and take the planet over, but one that came to invade our life of sin to erase it and save us. In this message we will focus on the...

All things with function typically have many moving parts. Those parts must be moving in sync with all the other parts for it to work. It was no different with the coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ. In this message we will look at the Prophetic Playbook and how the Holy Spirit orchestrated all the moving parts to fulfill all the prophecies written hundreds of years earlier. We will see that God i...

When God, our Creator, does something, He typically partners with His creation, us. That in and of itself is an absolutely unfathomable thought. That the Creator of the universe is willing to partner with us to carry out His will on earth. But that is what He does. And that is what He did in the life of a young probably teenage girl named Mary when it was announced to her that she would partn...

I find it impossible to reconcile a stingy spirit with being a Christian. After all didn’t God give His best to us in the giving of His Son? In this message we will look at the transformation power of the Holy Spirit to change a heart. And the first manifestation of that changed heart is, generosity. That is not a coincidence. It is a byproduct of the Spirit of God living in a person. In...

The longer we walk as a Christian the easier it is to cease sharing the Gospel. In fact we might have stopped even looking for any opportunity to share the Good News with others. The problem with this kind of thinking is, it does not line up with what Jesus told us. It’s not even close to how the first followers of Christ carried themselves. In this message we will define what the Gospel is,...

Have you ever felt like there wasn’t enough time, that you wish you could just make more of it? Time is the most precious commodity we have, so how we use it matters. But what does scripture say about our time, and how can we use it generously and yet still be good stewards? Those are the questions we are going to tackle this Sunday at New Beginnings Community Church! —————————————————————————————...

We begin a new series on Generosity and generosity has many avenues. The first we will explore is being generous with forgiveness. C.S. Lewis said, “Everyone thinks that forgiveness is a great idea until they have something to forgive.” I have found that is true about humanity, but totally contrary to the heart of God. Jesus came and sacrificed His life to forgive us of every one of our sins...

As we conclude Galatians Paul will continue with the Spirit led life with specific practical applications and evidences of a Spirit led person. It is one thing to say I live by the Spirit and it is another thing to actually live what is described as a Spirit led life. Paul will give us a clear view again of what that life looks like. He will lead off with what should be obvious; A Spirit led perso...

I think all believers know that we have a daily internal struggle. A battle of our flesh and spirit. A battle to do right not wrong. In Galatians 5 we quickly find it is a battle of appetites. My flesh, the old me and my born again spirit, the new me have differing desires and appetites, and that is the core of the war raging in us. Paul is going to expose this war and give us some great trut...

Many women are looking for a man to marry, say they are looking for Mr. Right. And rightly so, because you don’t want Mr. Wrong or even Mr. Maybe. As we progress through Galatians in Paul’s defense of “salvation by Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone” we find Paul now pointing to Mr. Right: Jesus. When it comes to the salvation of mankind Jesus our Mr. Right came at the right time, He...

I really admire Paul’s brilliance. And in chapter 3 of Galatians it is on display again. As he battles the Judaizers attempts to infiltrate the Gospel with works of the law, Paul throws out logical and brilliant reasons as he defends “salvation by Grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.” This is something all followers of Christ need to grow in. Can we give reasons for what we...

As Paul defends Grace through Faith we find the lies and fears of the Judaizers attempting to infiltrate the Christianity with “salvation by works of the law” exposed. Some call them legalists. One part of this message is sharing what a legalist in a church attempts to do and how they can kill faith in people if allowed to push their false teaching. Paul strenuously combats them He...

Letters are often such a joy to get, because they can be personable and you know they took effort and time. Pauls letter to the church in Galatia is the same. He expresses his astonishment that the Galatians have so quickly turned to a different gospel, emphasizing the importance of remaining faithful to the true message of salvation by grace through faith. This Sunday we will discuss Paul’s passi...
