    Defining The Relationship (Romans 8:12-17) Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Aug 13, 2022
     | 2,771 views

    When we trust Jesus as our Savior, everything changes in our relationship with God. Our motivation, our status, and our expectations. In Romans 8:12-17, God defines our relationship status.

    Defining the Relationship Romans 8:12-18 This week, I asked several people around me if they knew t what a DTR was. My suspicion was that if you were a college student or young adult, you knew exactly what a DTR was, but that if you were older, you didn’t. And as it turned out, I was right. When I ...read more

    The Asecension Of Jesus Series

     | 6,634 views

    There are three events in the life of Christ that get an awful lot of publicity: the birth of Jesus, the death of Jesus, and the resurrection of Jesus. We have recognized holidays for each of these: Christmas, Good Friday, and we have Easter. But the Ascension of Jesus is neglected by comparison.

    We can all relate to the inconsistencies in Samson's life to at least some degree. In this message we learn about the anointing of God; the consequences of sin and the potential benefits of God's correction, and the grace of God and how God's redemptive mercy.

    We are learning from the life of Samson as recorded in Judges 13-16. In your personal time I encourage you to read those four chapters since we can’t take time to do that in these two sermons. Last week we examined the call God placed on Samson’s life before he was born. We saw the connection ...read more

    The Power Of Forgivness Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 2,994 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

    God’s plan for your happiness includes a design for even your distress.

    This evening, I want to speak with you on this topic, “Why Does God Allow Suffering?” It’s important different religions answer this question in vary different ways. N. S. R. K.

    How To Find The Good Shepherd Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,628 views

    The world is a very dangerous place spiritually, full of wolves that come to us in sheep's clothing, evil shepherds masquerading as good shepherds. How do we find the Good Shepherd? How do we determine the difference between good shepherds and bad? Jesus provides insight in John 10.

    If you’re only casually familiar with the Bible, you might be surprised to find out that one of the major themes of the New Testament is false teachers. Under this general category fall false shepherds, false prophets and false apostles. You see, the Bible claims to be the truth about God and ...read more

    To recover from a fall, confess your sin to the Lord, accept its consequences, and put your confidence in Him.

    Bob Beasley, a pastor in Ontario, Canada, talks about the time when Rena, a three-year-old, sat with her parents during a baptismal service. It was a new experience for her, so she exclaimed, “Why he pushed that guy in the water? Why, Dad, why?" Her mom tried to explain briefly and quietly, ...read more

    As the days get shorter, and the nights get colder, fall is a great time to look deep into our souls. It’s a time to delight in the details of beauty around us, reflect on where we have been, and focus on where we are going.

    The wise men were religious outsiders who traveled a good distance while the religious insiders were sitting on the front porch of Bethlehem but failed to take another step. The religious insiders watched the religious outsiders pass right by them.

    Today, we begin a short Christmas series entitled The Characters of Christmas. All throughout the story of Christmas, there are major and minor characters who play an important role in making the story of Christmas great theatre. Now, I love to watch a good movie, and I imagine many of you are the ...read more

    Because everything around us is always changing, it is so good to know that our God never changes. God's consistent character, unchanging Word, promises and purposes gives us great strength and stability. How wonderful that we can hold to God's unchanging hand!

    A. Let’s begin by considering this statement: Everything changes, nothing stays the same, except for God. 1. Think about how travel has changed over time: a.
