    Funeral Message For A Long-Time Believer

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021
     | 4,087 views

    Let me ask you a question: if you were given a choice of going to Heaven today or waiting ten years, what would you choose? Your answer to this question tells a lot about what you think about Heaven. I think the majority of people would desire to wait ten years or more.

    Bill is a sweet man who was a remarkably faithful husband. Like so many seniors of our day, medical science was able to extend the length of Bill’s life even though the quality of his life suffered. He hurt for the past seven plus years and wasn’t able to be a part of our church as he wanted to. ...read more

    Have you witnessed two brothers or sisters, who were so different in their personality, you wondered, “How could these two people come from the genetic pool?” Today, I want you to see two brothers who were very different from each other.

    When we consider famous brothers… … some famous brothers come to mind… 1) Wilbur and Orville Wright ushered in the era of flight; 2) The Brothers Grimm, Wilhelm and Jacob, popularized fairy tales such as “Snow White,” “Cinderella,” and “Sleeping Beauty”; 3) Outlaws Frank and Jesse James; 4) The ...read more

    Joanna Lerud of Steamboat Rock, Iowa, was standing up to leave a restaurant when she hit her head hard on a lamp hanging above the table.

    Choose paths inside God’s bounds that lead to purity. Choose to love one another and so reflect Christ. Choose hard work leading to character that honors Christ. Choose to grieve in hope because God has made death sure in Him.

    4 SERMONS 1 THESSALONIANS 4:1-18 #1Thessalonians4 INTRODUCTION I am usually a very decisive person. Give me a choice and I will make it. I don’t usually live in gray areas.

    The Power Of Forgivness Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 2,957 views

    One of the things I love about this prayer is that it doesn’t pretend there aren’t real problems around us. It confronts the real needs in the world – pain and hunger. The Lord’s Prayer is designed to change our priorities and to reverse our thinking.

    This is the fourth message for us to look at the Lord’s Prayer. And it’s the richest single source in the entire Bible of information on how to pray. One story stands out about the importance of the Lord’s Prayer in the life of a Christian is from a gentleman who attends at NRH, Mike O’Neil. Mike ...read more

     | 2,256 views

    The Returning Son doesn’t bring any gifts to his family from his time away. Instead, he comes asking for a small amount of mercy and a job. Does he consider his father's broken heart and the agony of rejected love that his father has endured?

    For those of you old enough to remember the years of the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. I was a young kid back then and my parents lived in northern Alabama.

     | 5,374 views

    If you are a genuine Christian, you will be both willing and able to forgive others. According to Jesus, when you say, “I cannot or will not forgive,” you’re essentially saying, “I am thinking about going to hell.”

    We are in the last installment of a sermon series entitled Digging Deeper. Our goal is to answer this question: WHAT makes Christianity more “sticky” in some? What is the PROOF that determines if a person truly follows Christ? Or, What makes a Christian a Christian? We lose a lot of items in ...read more

    When God Doesn't Make Sense Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 16, 2021
     | 5,116 views

    Maybe the Lord didn't show up when you needed Him. Maybe there was absolute silence in response to your most desperate prayers. It's happened before, and to people Jesus loved dearly. What could account for Jesus' seeming uncaring response?

    Boy, we live in some tumultuous times, don’t we? Earthquake and tsunami in Japan. A nuclear disaster there as a result. Uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and Libya.

     | 5,310 views

    Independence Day: This message looks at what the NT says about fighting; and it reflects on the initial battles of the American Revolution, with an application toward the spiritual conflict that we face in America today.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Run to the Roar.” The Fourth of July is a national holiday that many churches recognize; one which “celebrates America’s Declaration of Independence from the tyranny of England under King George the III.”(1) I find it interesting that we have a day ...read more

    Hope Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 27, 2021
     | 4,552 views

    Christmas is a time to reflect upon the height and depth and breath of God’s love and the lengths that He will go to to show us His love. Christmas is a time to remember that God doesn’t demand that we love Him but gives us the choice to love Him.

    In the beginning was … nothing? A “formless void” (Genesis 1:1)? Yet the Bible says a wind (the breath of God) swept over the surface of the "water" (Genesis 1:2) so there something there ... maybe everything there … the particles ... all the molecules, all of the “substance” of the ...read more

    Satan's Two-Pronged Attack Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 6, 2021
     | 3,325 views

    Before the end Satan has a good plan to be bad. His plan centers on two points. The first point is ‘lawlessness.’ The second point is ‘believing what is false.’ We need to know this plan so we do not get caught in it, trapped, and end up coming to nothing ourselves.

    SATAN’S TWO-PRONGED ATTACK 2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-17 #2Thessalonians2 INTRODUCTION… TWO-PRONGED TRAVEL PLAN (p) It is always a good idea to have a plan. When I went on a road trip at the end of April to Colorado for a funeral, I had a plan. I decided to take my time driving and stop at different ...read more
