    Does The Virgin Birth Matter?

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 18, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,756 views

    (I borrowed a lot of this sermon from a sermon written by Tommy South) Skeptics make fun of the virgin birth and some believers are embarrassed by it and think it should be dropped. I believe that the virgin birth matters a great deal and we must believe it and proclaim it.

    Message 2 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    The great British playwright Oscar Wilde once said, “I can resist everything…except temptation.” Has a truer statement ever been spoken? And what’s unique about temptation is that each person is tempted by different things. Some people are tempted toward materialism. Others are tempted to always ...read more

    God defines our true identity, calling us chosen and purposeful, empowering us to live distinctly and shine His light in a world of confusion.

    Good morning, friends. Settle your hearts for a moment and breathe this in: God knows your name, sees your needs, and has spoken a word over your life that outlasts every label the world tries to stick on you. When life feels loud and your identity feels blurry, Peter hands us a clear, bright ...read more

     | 148 views

    Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

    Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more

     | 356 views

    God works through ordinary courage, presence, and compassion, weaving deliverance and hope even in our most fragile and uncertain moments.

    Some stories slip into our souls like a lullaby. Exodus 2 is one of them. We can almost hear the hush of a mother’s whisper, see the ripple of the Nile, feel the tremble of a sister’s hope. A woven basket, a watchful girl, and a princess with tear-touched eyes—God pens redemption with reeds and ...read more

    God intimately sees, hears, and cares for us in every trial, offering steadfast love, comfort, and deliverance to the brokenhearted and trusting.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a storm. Bills on the table, biopsy on the calendar, battles in the soul. Others carry a quiet ache—an empty chair at dinner, a friendship gone cold, a door that never opened. If you feel overlooked, unheard, unseen—hear this: the God who flung ...read more

    Jesus enters our everyday struggles proclaiming God’s good news, inviting us to turn from old ways and embrace new life under His gracious rule.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Bills are due, news feeds are noisy, hearts are heavy, and sleep has been shallow. Others arrived bursting with good news, yet even your celebration carries questions about tomorrow. Life feels like that—full and fragile at the same time. ...read more

    The Vanishing Father

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jun 12, 2025
     | 489 views

    There was a time—not so long ago—when the word “father” evoked strength, stability, and sacrificial love. When a man’s presence brought comfort, not confusion… direction, not detachment… blessing, not brokenness. But somewhere along the line, the father began to vanish.

    Lessons Of Faith From Ehud And Gideon

    Contributed by Kevin Call on Jan 19, 2026
     | 16 views

    The Book of Judges, in Hebrew, is also called (the Shophetim) Shophetim (שֹׁפְטִים) It is the Hebrew title for the Book of Judges, meaning "Judges," "Rulers," or "Deliverers," referring to the leaders who governed Israel. Of course, I’m talking about Ehud and Gideon.

    Cycles in history refer to the idea that patterns, events, and societal moods recur over time. It’s usually described as repeating rhythms of growth, stability, decline, and crisis, most famously theorized by Strauss-Howe in their "Fourth Turning" model. These cycles are said to recur ...read more

    There are times when Christians can be inhospitable towards those who are seeking to deceive. Are we welcoming and giving credibility to those who are trying to make us question that Jesus is the Christ.

    You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 2 John 1-13 “Sometimes Be Inhospitable” A foundation interpretive principle of Scripture is that Scripture will never contradict Scripture.
