North Conway Baptist Church - Weekly Sermons

Too often in our lives, we take our salvation for granted. We find ourselves distracted by things in this world that can never fulfill us, yet we are still drawn to them. Israel had a very similar problem. For them, the grass was always greener in some other god’s field. No matter how many times God saved them, they were always looking for salvation from some other god, or some other king, or some...

Verse by verse study through the book of Nehemiah

What do we do when our faith is attacked by the world? It is plain to see that our faith is often at odds with the commonly held beliefs and practices of the world around us. But when we feel pressured to compromise on our faith or even part of our convictions, what do we do? This Sunday, we will see what Saul did when his people were attacked by the Ammonites. This great victory for Saul will sol...

Bible study through the book of Nehemiah

Are you called by God? So often, we think of this phrase as being exclusively about full-time vocational ministry, as in, are you called to be a pastor? But the truth is that all of us are called. First and foremost, we are called to put our faith in Jesus Christ for our salvation. Second, through his Holy Spirit, God leads us personally to follow his will in certain ways. Maybe you are called to...

In "How the Mighty Have Fallen"  week 2, we will look at how God used the “random” circumstances in Saul’s life to accomplish His sovereign will. Sometimes in our lives, it is easy to wonder if God is really at work. Everything seems so normal, so mundane. We fear our weakness, lack of faith, or sin might somehow derail us from God’s will. But through a lost donkey in this chapter, we wi...

This is a series where we study chapter by chapter through the book of Nehemiah.

 1 Samual - Saul: How the Mighty Have Fallen. The next section of the narrative focuses on the rise and fall of Saul as the first king of Israel. In the first message of the series, we will see what motivated the nation to demand an earthly king from God. Their selfish desires will help us see the difference between sinful earthly leaders and our only perfect king, Jesus.  The overall series throu...

This week, the ark remains in the spotlight of the  “ark narrative” from 1 Samuel. After seven months of the Lord’s hand being “heavy" against the Philistines in plagues, they finally decide that they have had enough and that it is time to send the ark back to Isreal. But how does one send God on his way, and how does one receive God when he comes home? Sunday, we will see how both Philistia...

1 Samuel 4:1-22   The next mini-series in our study of 1 Samuel. So far, we have focused on Samuel as our main character, but in the next four sermons, we will move our attention to the Ark of the Covenant as our main character. The “ark narrative,” as these chapters are often called, gives us a stunning picture of how dangerous religion is without God as the center of it. It is possible to put ou...
