Maybe the most sensitive of topics is giving. It can elicit a joyous “amen” to an angry, “the church just wants money” and everything in between. But do you know what the different responses reveal? The condition of a person’s heart. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is there your heart will be also.” So if you really think about it, giving to God and His kingdom purposes keeps my he...

I thought about some of the things I’ve done alone. I’ve eaten at restaurants alone. I’ve gone to the movies alone. I have visited churches on vacation alone. I have left home alone to study out of town for two and three days. I have no problem doing things alone…but I wouldn’t want to always do things alone. I found that I am human and need to hang out and do things with others. I need...

Taking a vacation is always fun and relaxing. It is a time to refresh. Vacations contain the element of slowing down and letting others serve us. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact there is a lot right about this. But our life is not a continuous vacation, no matter how much we wish it was. Our life, the life of a follower of Christ is that of a servant. Jesus even said that the greate...

We embark on a new series today called, “Belong” This is a timely series due to the reality that technology enables us to, well, cocoon ourselves. We less and less need to be physically present anywhere. That is not always a good thing since we were created to be social beings created by God who is a social being, being part of the Father Son and Holy Spirit godhead. I hope you join us today...

As we conclude our series on spiritual disciplines, we want to take you into the world of fasting. One does not have to read deep into the gospels to see that Jesus in preparation for his battle in the desert, chose to fast. Fasting is also something that Jesus said His followers would be called to do after He was gone. This Sunday we want to educate you on some of the powerful benefits of a prope...

Silence and Solitude are some of the most important yet neglected Spiritual Disciplines. It is vital for our spiritual lives, however, to take time to be alone and quiet before God. In this sermon, we want to give you some practical ways to do just that and the blessings of implementing these Spiritual Disciplines. ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc.com/...

Worship is something that involves our entire life. We typically think of it as singing to God, and it is that, but it is not limited to that only. It involves worshipping and exalting God through our actions, tithing, treatment of others, loving our spouses, etc. etc. All of those and more are done as worship to God to glorify His Name. In this message on worship we will look at how the worship o...

We now enter into four weeks of spiritual disciplines from scripture designed to bring us into a fuller walk with Christ. We begin today with prayer. Jesus was asked by his already praying disciples, “Lord teach us to pray.” This means prayer has an element of learning and growth. We could be missing some of more important prayer pieces and today we will attempt to fill in some missing pieces. I h...

God is doing something new in the city of Jerusalem through the people. The catalyst of it all is a man named Nehemiah who leads the building process to restore the wall and the gates that have been damaged for over one hundred years. But there are enemies who are opposed to the rebuilding. In this teaching we will examine how to deal with opposition when God does a new thing in us. Nehemiah gives...

The story of Gideon is one of a man finding his identity, not in himself, but in what the Lord sees in him. Often we struggle with the battle of who we are. Gideon shows that when we trust God with our identity, we can overcome so much more than we think we can. To be disciplined takes effort, and creating good habits are both hard to start, and even harder to keep. God gave us some Spiritual Disc...

We are all tempts in life. Some of us took over a business from our parents. Most of us stepped into a position vacated by a retiree. We are simply carrying on what someone took over from someone else or began. Being a follower of Christ is no different. We began with Acts 1:1 a year ago with Dr. Luke’s statement: “All that Jesus BEGAN to do and TEACH.” Jesus BEGAN it and we are to continue it. Wh...

We’ve all been in life storms…many of them. Paul has been in many storms as he spreads the gospel. Today find him in the biggest storm of his life, and he’s in the predicament because of someone else’s bad decision. But what is most impressive is what he does in the storm. His courage, calm, and hope in Jesus are on full display. Someone once said, “Storms don’t make us, they reveal us.” And today...

I love Father’s Day because I get to celebrate Fathers and take you into the world of that dad in your home. And besides, I am one of them. Your Father is a unique breed. He is not like your mother. He’s a guy, he’s your dad. But have you ever wondered what makes him tick? Have you ever wondered what he was like before you came around versus what he is like today? Well this Sunday as we celebrate...

As we continue to travel through Acts we find one of the reoccurring themes is persecution. Paul is being continuously persecuted for his faith in the Resurrected Jesus. He would one day write in I Timothy 3:12 “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” He is telling us what to expect so as not to be surprised when it happens. We will be persecuted as a result of li...

Some decisions should not be delayed. Especially the decision to follow Christ. As we look into Acts 24 we find Paul still in prison but given the opportunity to speak to the governor Felix and his wife Drusilla about righteousness, self-control and judgment to come. Felix delays his decision to follow Christ and we never read that he gave his life to Christ in follow up meetings with Paul. It is...

There are many seasons in our life as followers of Christ that we need encouragement. In this message we find Paul has been going through some difficult times. He is currently on trial, they strike him and no one is getting saved. So what does Jesus do? He cheers Paul up in three specific ways and the three ways Jesus does this is exactly the three ways He encourages us. In this message out of Act...

Preaching the Resurrection, Paul has been rushed by the mob, beaten, arrested, and false charges brought against him by liars. But it is under all this pressure and persecution we see the real deal practice normal Christian faith. Which provokes a question when we are experience pressure and persecution, what does our faith look like? This Sunday we get to see how normal faith behaves. ———————————...

Sometimes God asks us to go certain places, talk to certain people, and preform difficult tasks, even when we don’t feel like it. In Acts 21, we are going to take a look at how Paul did not allow the world to deter him from Gods will, no matter how difficult things became. ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc.com/ Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorco Instagram...

One of my favorite parables because none of us can escape this one. We all have a bit of the unforgiving servant in us. Jesus tells the story of a man forgiven of a mountain of debt which he could never pay off in a hundred lifetimes. But here is where it gets interesting, the man once set free, finds someone who is indebted to him for a minuscule amount by comparison and he orders the man into ja...

In this parable Jesus tells the story of a widow who needs legal protection from an unjust judge. In that culture at that time she is the person who would rarely if ever get justice and yet she does. But how did she get justice from an unjust judge? She kept coming day after day bugging the judge to get legal protection. She wore him down and he gave in to her requests. Now, this is a parable of t...

In this story Jesus gives us a glimpse of what hell is actually like. It’s not pretty, fun or even a party place. In fact it’s not a place anyone would want to go to. A man we only know as a rich man will find himself in that place. It is his tormented words that teach us that not only do we not want to go there, but we also would not want any of our family members to end up there as well. This is...

We begin a short series through the Parables in the Gospels. Our first stop will be with the Good Samaritan which is a fascinating interaction between a lawyer and Jesus over what a true neighbor actual is. The lawyer is wanting to know who is his neighbor, which means he wants to know who his neighbor isn’t. In other words, who don’t I have to help or be nice to. And so Jesus sets out on describi...

Our entire faith rests on the single event of the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This year we will look at it from the theme that Jesus through His resurrection can make our lives better. The Resurrection of Jesus is the single most important event in all of human history because our eternity depends on it. But not only our eternity, but also our present. You see, Jesus rose from the dead an...

As we continue our travels through the last week of Jesus life leading to the crucifixion, we make a stop at the Last Supper. During this time Jesus begins teaching His disciples some important last lessons. These lessons are the final pieces of their three year mentorship with Jesus. One of the most vital lessons they will learn is, “What is true greatness.” Jesus will give them a definition that...
