The experience of being seen by Jesus transforms us.

Often, there is more going on than meets the eye. Learn how Jesus has given us the tools to see deeper into reality.

Historical testimony gets us closer to the experience and the meaning of an event than the dry listing of historical facts. This is the power of testimony.

The gospels were careful to relay accounts from eyewitnesses who experienced Jesus first hand. The implications of this reality are significant for us today as it forces us to grapple with a truth that cannot be ignored.

A careful analysis of the names recorded in the gospels and Acts reveals important historical information about those accounts. Ultimately, these names are real people who witnessed an unparalleled event that would change not only their lives, but the history of the world.

The Bible says the Holy Spirit prays for us! Pastor Kee shares a little bit of what that means for us and what we should expect.

Pastor Kee shares some faith lessons he learned during his sabbatical.

After 4 long months, our Pastor Kee is back from sabbatical and on the podcast! Hear a few stories of Pastor Kee reconnecting with family from Korea, as well as healing a deep pain in his heart. Later, the pastors talk about Pastor Sam's last sermon, exploring a theology of work. Lots to discuss! You don't want to miss it!

God's narrative uncovers how 'work' is part of God's design for humanity. God gives us 'work' as the vehicle through which we join with God's creative and redemptive work. Understanding work in its intended way gives meaning and direction to our labor.

Believers are called to use their freedom and gifts to serve others in love, as genuine faith naturally leads to acts of service and ministry. We are invited to deepen our spiritual lives through movement — engaging in submission, service, ministry, and evangelism — to create a vibrant and life-giving faith.

This week the pastors recall times when vulnerability wasn't received too well. Does that take away from the power of the confession? How vulnerable are you willing to be? All this and more!

The more we understand our sinfulness, the more we can understand and experience the grace of God. God not only accepts us despite our sinfulness (because of the cross), but He can redeem our sinfulness and use it for His glory.

The pastors recall this Sunday's sermon. When does self-care become too much? Have we become our own idols? What are some practical steps to undo some of these things? All this and more!

Jesus tells his disciples to adopt the lowly position of a child. He teaches them to realign their values with those that God values, to understand the nature of his kingdom, and to grasp what it looks like to be a follower of Christ.

This week the pastors make a few reflections on Psalm 23, inspired by Pastor Do Hee's sermon this past Sunday. What does it mean for God to be your good shepherd? What will you chase after in response? All this and more! 

This week we are joined by a friend to our church, Pastor Do Hee Kim! We are so thankful for the generosity of our friends to come and minister to our congregation!

This week, the gang is back together just in time for a special day: Pastor Kathy's birthday!! Later, they discuss Pastor Josh's message, as well as their own experience with the Holy Spirit. Is intellectualism wrong? How does human reason interface with the Holy Spirit's leading? All this and more!

In John 20, we read Jesus's command to His disciples to "receive the Holy Spirit." Likewise, believers today are called to do the sam. Sadly, though, many of us still sit in the drivers seat of our own hearts. This Sunday, we will confront the obstacles that hinder us from knowing Jesus more deeply and living out His commands.

A "Psalm for Life” connects the message of Psalm 23 with the movement of the Spirit in our lives. God calls us the Beloved and provides protection and guidance. How do we recognize and receive the work of the Spirit in our spiritual journey?

Spurred by Sunday's message, this week, Pastors Kathy and Josh have a conversation about women in ministry. Is it still encouraging to hear a message about women in ministry if it comes from a man? How do we encourage the Body to take 'undo' their presuppositions? All this and more! 

We are happy to have a friend of our church, Jeff Hutchinson join us this Sunday! Pastor Jeff is a church planter with a wealth of experience and humility. As you listen to the message, may you be blessed with the same heart that Hannah had as she prayed in 1 Samuel 2:1-10. 

This week Pastor Josh asks a bunch of hard questions. (sorry!) How effective is a word study in our study of the Bible? Does it necessarily draw us closer to the Truth in Scriptures? Is it possible to leap too far too fast? All this and more!

This week the pastors discuss this past Sunday's message. How do I become more mature? What are some goals that will help me get there? All this and more! 

This week the pastors try and mark the difference between Millenials and Gen Z. Do you remember the Cingular flip phone? Later, we remember Pastor Sam's message from Sunday and try and extract some lessons from Joseph's story. 

This week, we are joined by Richard Lee. We are thankful for so many friends within the NMPC circle that can come and bless our community!
