    This sermon discusses the Church as the Army of the Living God, and what we should be doing to win the spiritual war against the forces of evil.

    Transition: Two weeks ago I shared with you the idea that we are living in a Postmodern society that in many respects is much like the First Century world in that Christianity is seen as a threat or is looked upon in a very negative light. Last Week I shared with you some ideas of how we as ...read more

    What is a church’s vision to accomplish its purpose? How do we accomplish God’s plan? Do we see the need? Do we respond with concern? Do we respond with action?

    INTRODUCTION For the past several months, we have been involved in discussions, research, and prayer regarding the Future of this Church. In 2 Business Meetings, you approved and asked the leadership to determine the feasibility of moving. First, I want to thank you for your cooperation, ...read more

    So many times, we look at the end result of our purpose rather than the journey we must travel to accomplish that purpose. We must constantly give God our best so that He can use that best for His Plan, Purpose and Promise.

    INTRODUCTION A. GOD’S ENVISIONED VISION FOR NHBC! As I strive to become who God desires me to be, I learn more of what Paul meant when he said, “we live by faith and not by sight”. And as a church, we also find ourselves striving to become who God has envisioned us to be. I am still not 100% ...read more

    While Ezekiel’s vision and prophesy applies uniquely to Israel, principles can be drawn that apply to God’s people today. What are three things Ezekiel’s dry bones have in common with today’s church?

    First, we need to remind ourselves a little bit about who Ezekiel was. Ezekiel was a man that God commissioned to speak His Word to the Jews who had been exiled to Babylon. Remember that after King Solomon, God split the Jews into two nations—Israel and Judah. Israel in the North and Judah in the ...read more

    What is the missional church? How does a church transition to being missional? What do missional Christians look like and act like?

    Last week we started a new series called an elemental church. We looked at God’s dream for a church and talked a little about the dreams that we have for our community. In the past few years, the word missional has picked up some steam and become somewhat of a buzz word among pastors and ...read more

    This sermon is for the occassion of an Historic Anniversary (150th) of the church, and remembers the pioneers who have gone before us; but also encourages the pioneers of this present day.

    One can almost imagine the first churches encounter with the beggar at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. There were no Ministerial Alliance S.O.P.’s… No gas vouchers… no Confirmation Classes, nor was there an Evangelism Committee to carry out the year long planning… instead Peter and John found ...read more

    In these last days, we are a church under siege by the powers of darkness, but we will prevail because we are armored by God.

    Under Siege By Pastor Jim May On May 23, 1863, nearly 30,000 Union soldiers were camped in a semi-circle around one of the most unlikely places in the country. Just 35 miles north of where we are right now there was a fort built on a high bluff overlooking a sharp bend in the Mississippi River. ...read more

    I wonder today has the church lost something of value that we are willing to diligently seek after until we have found it. We tend to lose the anointing of God’s Spirit upon our lives and churches but we tend to move on in life like nothing has ever happe

    We must first understand how the church is built in order to build it for God’s glory.

    BUILDING THE BRIDE Eph. 2: 18-22 INTRO: The church is : A chosen bride, a cherished bride, and there is a chastening of the bride Christ said He would build—“upon this rock” but He was not referring to Peter (Matt. 16: 15-18) “Rock”—the gr. word “Petra” ; meaning a mass of ...read more
