North Conway Baptist Church - Weekly Sermons

Matthew 28:1-10 & Revelation 20:11 - 21:7 In this sermon, we conclude our journey through the Bible, looking at the Story of Easter. Last week, we explored the climax of the narrative, focusing intently on the cross and the act of propitiation that Christ accomplished for us there. However, the story does not end with the cross; it is the empty tomb that, in so many ways, seals God's prom...

 We continue our journey through the Bible with our Story of Easter. We have reached the climax of the story: the cross. But why is the cross considered the climax? What exactly occurred on the cross that opened the door for our salvation? It couldn't have been just a physical event, as thousands of people were executed on Roman crosses. There must have been something more happening—something...

You probably heard of Christmas in July, but is it Christmas at Easter? Although we don’t always think about it, the incarnation is a vital part of the Easter story. If Jesus was not fully God and fully man, then His work on the cross would be insufficient for our redemption. In this sermon,  we look at why the incarnation matters to theology and why it matters to our lives today. Series Overview...

How we dress is important. We don’t want to show up to an event underdressed, but we also don’t want to show up overdressed. We want to be confident that our atire matches our personality and the situation. Last week we looked at three ways that we can “take off” sin in our lives. This week we will examine what Paul has to say about what we should put back on now that our identity is in Christ. As...

Chapter 3 of Colossians is about living out our Christian lives. But Paul wants us to know that before we can live a life for Christ, we must first kill the power of sin in our hearts. In this week’s message, we will examine three key ways that we can fight the hold of sin in our lives and find victory in Jesus over every temptation.  The church at Colossae might have existed thousands of years ag...

Is there any power in our Christian life? Would we describe our faith as powerful? In Chapter 3 of Colossians, Paul shifts from offering warnings to providing exhortations on how to live a powerful life of faith. He will share practical guidance on our daily interactions with one another. However, in the verses we will examine this week, he first reveals the source of Christian power and several w...

As we have studied through chapter two of Colossians, Paul has focused mainly on helping us identify those around us who could hinder us from living out our Christian life to the fullest. But the Christian life is not about NOT being something but being found in Christ. In this sermon, we will look at how Paul closes out this section of warnings by helping us to focus on what the Christian life is...

As we study the book of Colossians, we notice that Paul shifts the focus of his letter in the second chapter. After completing his introduction in chapter one, he addresses the church by highlighting some dangerous obstacles to their spiritual growth. In this week’s sermon, we will examine Paul's second and third warnings to believers. These warnings were relevant to the church at Colossae tw...

Exploring why Jesus is all we need for true fulfillment, identity, and forgiveness. In this passage, Paul reminds us that in Christ, we have been filled with the fullness of God—nothing else needs to be added. We don’t need to search for meaning in new philosophies, second-level experiences, or legalistic practices because Jesus alone is sufficient. Come and see how the gospel answers the deepest...

Two weeks ago, we explored what Paul meant by the phrase “our Christian walk.” This term refers to how we live our lives as Christians and how we practically express our faith in our daily activities. Paul then shared several ways we can walk in the Spirit. This sermon, we will examine the next verse where Paul explains what it looks like to NOT walk in the Spirit. He identifies three specific dan...

 We will explore our church-wide theme for 2025: Koinonia. This Greek word is often used within the church to refer to fellowship, but its true biblical meaning is much deeper than simply gathering to enjoy each other's company. True koinonia is vividly illustrated in the early church, and its full significance challenges us to invest more in our relationships with one another. Authentic koin...

We have all likely encountered the phrase “Our Christian Walk,” which refers to how we live our lives as Christians—how we practically express our faith in our daily activities. As Paul moves beyond his lengthy introduction, he focuses on this important reality: if we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, what does that mean for our lives? Listen to this sermon as we explore what it means to...

A  continued study of the book of Colossians and the beginning of  Chapter 2. In this chapter, Paul starts to make the message more personal for the church. He shifts from stating that Jesus is Lord to emphasizing that Jesus is OUR Lord. This personal connection highlights that He has specifically called us to serve in His kingdom. In the first five verses of this chapter, Paul shares the work he...
